    As I have commented before, I don’t understand why, but I would like to add that I have never seen anyone commit to an immeasurably difficult if not impossible challenge and succeed like you do; all the while repositioning your camera(s) and keeping your on camera composure magnificently stress free for the viewer (your banter with the camera is cool). I think by limiting and or editing out your stress at the worksite for the viewer is one of your traits that keeps me tuning in. ALSO…Editing your days video throughout the wee hours is another mind boggling accomplishment.
    Your son is an absolute gem too, which proves in my mind your parenting skills and personality off camera, including family support must be exceptional. Congratulations.

    Be sure to film Larry's reaction when you pull up to his garage, and you ask him to help you with the patch panels. Congratulations! You did it.

    Dude, you got a beautiful day, it's 98% on the trailer, you still have all your fingers, no gaping wounds (okay, the bus has them), and you have a cold beverage to enjoy and celebrate the victory. That's what I call a very good day.

    This has been one of the best series I’ve ever watched! I’m sorry to say this but watching you struggle with the jacks is very entertaining. But I’ve enjoyed watching you get the prize and I guess there is a light at the end of the tunnel! Can’t wait to see what’s up next on the push pull or drag channel with Jason as our host you know it’s going to be great. Hope you have a great week.
