  • This week I hauled recycled gravel out of another gravel pit and dealt with all kinds of annoying rain, snow, cold weather and ice.

    I hope you have a good recovery from that fall. A few yrs back,I fell,leg went between tire & ramp on lowboy , well you guys say 😂😅 lowbed 😂. I was lucky & all I got was a nasty deep scratch on my shin.
    There's been times where I've worked a night shift & worked like four - five hours of my day shift,get home and count sheep jumping over the moon. They surely don't build them like us anymore. Good video.
    That polish, I love it ,it seems like the dust for some reason doesn't really stick to it like other polishing brands. Did front wheel & both air tanks passenger side two weeks & still polished ...... Great product

    I absolutely love your videos man and always wait for them. So peacefully and interesting to watch them. You are so professional so you dont seem to never be in hurry.
    Things are pretty different here in finland and feels like we are always in hurry so its nice to see how gently you drive in quarrys for example.
    And its so nice to watch how good care you take of your truck, its always shining. I also just cant leave the truck salty and go home, just have to take the time and wash it.
    Sorry for my bad english but i just wanted to say i really love your channel. You are really funny guy too so the videos are pretty perfect. Greetings from Finland!

    @rustyhook6723 8 дней назад +1

    Ok Mike I have been meaning to ask you about your washing. Obviously this time of year it must freeze in the driveway in front of the garage, does that create issues with other people ? We had that problem several years ago at Yarde. There were only a couple of us who washed regularly but others complained. Falling is always a concern. I’ve broken my left wrist twice falling off of a truck and then again exactly how you fell. I was young then and healed perfectly but now I’m not so sure I’d recover quickly 😅. Stay safe
