I retired 3 years ago. I miss the work but more than anything else I miss the people I worked with. In 25 years they’ve come and gone but I remember them all! Your vids remind me to keep it simple, keep it fun, and don’t sweat the small stuff! Thanks Ryan!
Ryan, Businesses like yours are the backbone of our economy. In one video you are buying products, paying a mechanic, Paying rent, paying your employees and making plans on your property. Continued success 😃😃
Never underestimate how smart a cat is especially with navigation! Once when I was smaller we moved from one house to another my cat Jesse was an outdoor/indoor cat listened very well! Anyways we moved few kms away our cat ended up running away 2 weeks later we get a call from our old neighbour saying our cat is outside our old house waiting too get in!! Truly blew our minds!!
@@Jaydem_ clearly! As a young child the two weeks was heartbreaking we were at the point that we thought she was gone or dead! The call was a miracle we raced too get her right away!!
Ryan, your wife is such a warm and pleasant person. She's the foundation for your beautiful, loving family. I enjoy catching glimpses of your professional and family life.
Hey no issue with feeling sad about your pet ... they are a member of the family and deserve your love and concern just like all the other family members. I am so pleased she came home and all is well ... I enjoy seeing her play her role.❤
Don't ever apologize about caring/loving an animal! Clearly you can be a man and care/miss a animal. Annie to all of you is a loved one. Pets can really affect our lives. They lift us up when were feeling over worked/tired or stressed. A pet is there every day can become an overlooked habit but when their not there we truly feel the loss.. We take for granted a pet being there everyday until their not. Pets are precious and give to us something another human can't. I just started watching your videos in the last few days and My being 59 years old..I was going to miss Annie..beautiful cat. So its not just kids that would have mourned the loss of Annie. This could be an old video? So anyway I'm glad you got your cat back..and thanks for showing you cared. God Bless.
hi Ryan William from Wales in UK have been following you on youtube cant help smiling at your witty comments and comical antics.Respect the way you treat your work force keep the videos coming best wishes to you and your family and Annie for the future
Ryan also wildly spends money for businesses related expenses but cried outside his minivan about spending less than $200 on dinner for himself and his five daughters and said it was really expensive. 😂
Love Annie. I am a Huge cat lover got Tiger and tiger cub on left shoulder with my wife's name. Glad she is back Another great video. Thank you for the update
Ryan nice to see someone wanting to try a product before getting the sponsor. And glad Annie came back its hard to explain like loosing one of your kids. Big shout out from UK
Watching your channel is always inspiring. Making things happen and taking action is a rare quality in people. Too many people live their lives not taking risk, not building anything worth while. Its nice to see somebody be aggressive with life and DO THINGS and be successful.
I admire you Ryan. You are extremely level headed and direct. I am a failed business owner in the electrical world and had a big issue separating business from my personal world. Just thought you should know that you’re inspiring and teaching younger men like me at age 32.
Man what a good day when victory posts a new video. I got to say you guys make me smile and laugh when I’m having a bad day. Much love guys. Keep killing it
I was going to suggest a air tag for the cat and then you showed one on her. One time our cat got locked up in the neighbors garage for a couple days. Glad to see Annie is back home.
Glad u found Annie! As long as shes fixed and not declawed she's fine outside. Besides coyotes lol, maybe put an apple tag on her collar or the vet has some tracking chips they put on them
I think with seeing every step of the buildings going up you're going to get a nice insight into what large general contractors handle. Should be a fun, interesting and educating ride! Congrats!
Great video as always. Man I must say that I really like your Welcome bear. MacGyver is a interesting and funny guy, so please send my regards and get well soon. All the way from the cold North in Norway.
I liked the Symonphy analogy: I might have to steal that, so I sound smart on Monday!😂 I'll just say: "Let's engage SA and see what comes to fruition!!" 😊😊
We are happy Annie is back ❤ and a doggie door invites other little critters into the home. Annie will probably try this again and again until she heads into the next seasonal faze of her next 8 lives. 😊
I'd do more for my animals than I would for 90% of the people out there. They are family. Especially when you've been around them your whole life, and all they've done for you.
Cats know where they get fed at, they will come back. I can understand worrying about cars and other wildlife though. I had a cat for 18 years, he got lost for 2 weeks one time and managed to find his way back, you could tell he was wore out
@@steveo1483yea our last cat disappeared for about 5 months , n one day we come out n he’s by the door , mind blowing how cats leave for that long and then come back like nothing happened
Ryan, when you were talking about Annie, I watched your tree go from leaning toward the house, to straight up and down, to leaning away from the house. Just the fun effect of the camera's barrel distortion.
You should ask nate if he wants his own shop and if youre down, to build him a building of his own on uour land. And u would give him a good deal so he can do all the maintenance on your trucks
That's actually a good idea. With all of the heavy duty equipment and trucks for the business, it would make a ton of sense to have a building specifically for your mechanic that will fit 2 or 3 of your trucks. With a lift and a well to get under the truck without having to lift it. I hope Ryan sees this
Man, the ‘we lost Annie’ almost made me cry in my coffee…I hoped the exclamation point meant it wasn’t really bad news!😳😉 21:50 I got the church one at Christmas a few years ago. 37:12 YES you should!📱 Great to see MacGyver doing so well. Nate’s a good dude too. The wall is really nice. Way to go Tino & Carlito. Always good to see Ray! Was there no WiFi for live-streaming last night from Ohio? WHOA! Just saw a clip about Ohio storms/tornado. 😳 Pretty cool the plumber worked at the same yard years ago! Thx Ryan.👍
Oh man! I can't wait too see who can compete with you both put together..... i Enjoyed this video ryan! Much love and God's richest blessings for you and all the people that surround u on a daily basis.....
You need to use thru-bolts on those aluminum panels with the plywood. Self-tapping screws will only hold for so long, especially under vibration and strain as on the truck.
The fact you left an open check for Nate speaks volumes for him and you Ryan it’s kind of mind boggling but I seen how Nate has been since he entered in your channel and I trust the man and don’t even know him lol wish you both but positive vibes Ryan
Time to make sure Annie doesn't get out again 😂 glad she's okay. You should also just make your own boiled eggs that you can throw in a bowl in the fridge, then grab them and go in the AM's. Probably cheaper, easier and quicker that way.
We tried to keep our cat in too, but like Annie she wants to be outdoors. We stopped fighting it and just hope she makes smart decisions. It’s her life and we want her to enjoy it.
this is the reason why dozens of bird, reptile, and rodent species have gone extinct. Irresponsible owners not keeping their invasive species pet outside of the local ecosystem.
@@thejoke2791 wrong....I have had 2 declawed cats (adopted that way) that climbed our privacy fence, killed birds, brought snakes in the house through the dog door, whipped the neighbor cats. They are just fine, they defend with the back feet and can still swat with the front.
I was so relieved to hear Annie came back!! My cats are my "Kids with Paws", so I don't ever say "its just a cat" here :) They are my babies. Both Dogs and Cats can be thought of as family members :)
Just a cat? Good grief! My best buddy Pepper got really sick in just a few days and I dropped him of at the vet's office for blood work and an overnight stay. Later that day the vet called and said his blood count of something, I don't remember exactly, was dropping fast. He said a this time he recommends "humanitarian euthanasia" , a phrase that hit me like a ton of bricks. I showed back up in a few hours and they led me to a dimly lit "comfort room" where I got to hold him for the last time before he was put down. My heart was broken. I blubbered all the way home. I didn't realize how much I loved him. Not just a cat, trust me.
Ryan doesn’t care about pets. Referred to Jade as “the dog” many times and same with Annie. Got mad at “the cats” vet bill a while back. They are simply an object to him.
I added this comment a little to soon. After he described how many days Annie was gone and how worried and sad everyone was I realized he had a soft spot for the cat after all. Glad Annie showed up in one piece!
You found someone special for a mechanic. Very trusthworthy and knowledgeable.
I retired 3 years ago. I miss the work but more than anything else I miss the people I worked with. In 25 years they’ve come and gone but I remember them all! Your vids remind me to keep it simple, keep it fun, and don’t sweat the small stuff! Thanks Ryan!
5 months later…. “We’ve got kittens!” 😂😂😂😂
Yup this is it. When I was a kid our outdoor cat would disappear for long periods. She appeared once months later with kittens at our door.
@@ap-fr2uz Hey.....just like the kids today !!!!!!!!!!!!! LOL
9 weeks for a cats pregnancy. Kittys in a couple months 😅
She is spayed
She is declawed, cant remember if spayed too.
Ryan,
Businesses like yours are the backbone of our economy.
In one video you are buying products, paying a mechanic,
Paying rent, paying your employees and making plans on your property.
Continued success 😃😃
Ya backbone for our corrupt government……. Paying taxes on all that stuff for it just to get sent overseas
You are 💯right love the videos🇺🇲
Everyone could use a friend like Nate , I wish nothing but the best for him
He's been hired. He's not a friend visiting helping out on a social call.
@@thejoke2791not exactly…Nate’s great attitude and his skills are why he gets hired and why he becomes friends with everyone.
@@melvinsmiley5295
Yeah he seems like a cool dude, but first and foremost, it's a good business relationship before friendship.
@@melvinsmiley5295
Their business relationship comes before friends tho
WOW! Thanks for the shout-out Ryan. Keep up the great work.
This is the only channel where I watch every video as soon as it comes out.
Same here and we are in Australia.
I no longer watch tv 😂
Carlito seems much happier since he got hired on full time for the year. Must feel good to have job security!
Never underestimate how smart a cat is especially with navigation! Once when I was smaller we moved from one house to another my cat Jesse was an outdoor/indoor cat listened very well! Anyways we moved few kms away our cat ended up running away 2 weeks later we get a call from our old neighbour saying our cat is outside our old house waiting too get in!! Truly blew our minds!!
Yeah some animals are facinating. Just look at birds movind to another continent and finding its way back to exactly same place 6 months later
You went bs I to get It right
@@Jaydem_ clearly! As a young child the two weeks was heartbreaking we were at the point that we thought she was gone or dead! The call was a miracle we raced too get her right away!!
not that smart if it went back to the old house.
Yea my old cat did that three times when we moved. The house was over 6km away... That's about 3 miles.
Happy birthday, Junior! Nate is awesome... to be so young but so good at his work AND organized: AMAZING young man
Carlitto, Tino nice work on the wall. 👍
Ryan, your wife is such a warm and pleasant person. She's the foundation for your beautiful, loving family. I enjoy catching glimpses of your professional and family life.
Good morning from Winnipeg. Ryan nothing silly about it. Annie is family so totally understandable! We love watching her in the intros.
Yet he says "it's just a cat"... perhaps listen to that bit again,,, he don't give a sh.....
Haha im from Winnipeg watching ryan all the time

I get everything I need from my "another human" Maybe seek counseling.
Them little pets really make your day sometimes.
Your response to Nate saying "if you're comfortable with that" was great 😂
Tino and Ray are my favorites they're awesome!
I am so glad Annie came home ❤. She is so Loved & so are your videos ! Take care & stay safe !!
Ryan, i love the fact you surround yourself with others you can trust enough to fill out the check for payment. Keep up the great content!

Ryan puts a tracker on the cat before a tracker in his trucks for the guys, a true family man haha
Ryan also wildly spends money for businesses related expenses but cried outside his minivan about spending less than $200 on dinner for himself and his five daughters and said it was really expensive. 😂
Wow . Eric actually paid for lunch!!! Definitely going to storm lol
I bet it was so emotional when she showed up. Glad to hear she’s back home!
I enjoy when there are a few videos in 1 sitting. Cant wait to see the land progress. Much deserved sir. 👏🏻
I like that phrase you said, everybody does their own thing, but they do it together. When you said that I just thought that was an awesome phrase
Nate looks like a fantastic addition: always working and explaining status etc - people like that are hard to find these days.
Time to get an air tag collar for the cat. Helps a lot
That what I was about to comment
Air tags are the truth , I’m In Houston and that has help track down stolen cars and motorcycles countless of times
Same thing i wanted to comment.. great idea.. AirTag for Annie please ❤
you mean like 34:58 ?
Just saw Ryan already bought the AirTag 😸
Love Annie. I am a Huge cat lover got Tiger and tiger cub on left shoulder with my wife's name. Glad she is back Another great video. Thank you for the update
Ryan nice to see someone wanting to try a product before getting the sponsor. And glad Annie came back its hard to explain like loosing one of your kids. Big shout out from UK
I'm glad she came home she's definitely apart of the family and apart of our family love the content keep up the great work
These long videos are awesome! ❤❤❤❤
Love them.... The longer, the better!! ❤❤❤👍👍👍😊😊
Very happy that Annie came back. Nice video Sir.
Good to see Nate back in the shop!
I love Daryl Jr, and i respect that you keep him around and let him be a part of your crew.
Glad Annie came home...maybe that tracking tag is a good idea 💡
Love the way you are With junior.
Keep it up, you know that s*** means a Lot 😢❤❤❤❤❤
Randy Santel is a local competitive food eater. That would be funny to watch Ryan and Ray keep up.
They’ll be in the restroom for the rest of the day 😂
Eric could do it too
Katina is no slouch either
Hes a tool though Beard meets food would be better
Not a chance, Jr. might have a chance in cold coagulated grease raviolis eating that nobody wants to compete in
Watching your channel is always inspiring. Making things happen and taking action is a rare quality in people. Too many people live their lives not taking risk, not building anything worth while. Its nice to see somebody be aggressive with life and DO THINGS and be successful.
Beard meets food would be a good shout although he may live overseas. Keep up the great work Ryan!!
Watch every video from both of them.
Came to say Beard meats Food.! He does travel around in the states tho
Randy santell is in the same town as them
I respect your honesty and how real you are with things. Glad your cat came back
That impact race to remove the form truck lug nuts was awesome 😂
Awesome to See Nate The Great he needs his own channel for sure 👍
I am an animal lover with a special place in my heart for cats, so I was dreading the outcome of the story, but I'm glad I listened to the end!!
Hi Ryan, good videos, great bunch of lads, your leaning tree is probably a optical illusion with a sloping drive. Have a nice day.
Eating contest, boiled eggs, like cool hand Luke😂😂😂
Pickled Eggs LOL🤮
Luke ate 51 eggs if my memory is correct
Thanks for the video, Ryan! A lot to unpack in this one! Really interesting to see everything coming together.
Glad she finally came back home & Congrats on becoming Grandparents ❤😂
“If I get pulled over I’m probably gonna be in trouble. Not a good look there” man that had me dying 😂😂
Missing a lost pet isn't silly... Not understanding the pain of losing a pet is silly! I'm glad she's back and an early congrats on the kittens!
Thank you so much for working so hard to continue your uploads on schedule. With a family your size there has to always be something. Cmon. lol. 😂
Ryan goes to gas station with his gas light on and leaves with gas light on!!!! Put gas in your truck if your there 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Love your videos as always! Jr is always so happy around you, makes for a great video! ❤
Big Ray needs to close his mouth while eating. You can hear him smacking😂😂😂 Love watching Victory and the rest of the guy’s channels!
You need to close your mouth while commenting.
@SliceIceNDice actually no he doesn't! It's called courtesy! Smmh! You definitely wasn't taught manners respect or dignity!
lol grown man worrying about another how another one eats 🤣
@@SliceIceNDiceto be fair, his mouth was likely closed since he only needs his fingers to type comments. Just my opinion of course.

My mom said the same thing about the starving children, when i was a kid. Its true but the logistics would not work. Im glad you got Annie back.
Mine too!
When I buy a meal for somebody, I expect them to eat it all. It's a good thing Eric was wasting his own money

Bc he's got young kids. Yeah you might scare a cat chasing them outside

Or Bugs!

He talked about it in his live. He’s planning to help Tino’s situation.
