    I have to tell you about my Mom and what your channel does for her! About a year and a half ago my mom had to have her right leg amputated due to diabetes. She is wheelchair bound and cant leave her house unless I can take the time off to drive down to see her. My Mom Debra A. from Springfield Missouri just feels so free and with your videos! She feels like she is sitting in the front seat with you. You help her get away and out of the house! Thank you so much. She just loves you! Next time can you say hi to her when you go through a trip of a beautiful mountain pass!!

    Hey Mike !!! Do they have a ""Champion Window"" Sales in your area as we have them installed at our house ! they are Thermo pane with the tilt in cleaning so you Don't have to be on a ladder to clean the outside !! They have a good Quality Control on their workmanship as they have a warranty on them !! if you have a problem ,, you call in the # on the window & they will replace it !! Enjoyed the ride as always & ""KEEP IT SAFE ""!!

    When I built my log cabin home we used Pella windows, no where close to those prices. Plus we had blinds in between the panes of glass. Saved alot of money because you don't need window treatments to cover the windows. And they are very energy efficient.

    Mr. Mike windows are easy to install it is basically four screws to install an little foam or insulation of your choice and some caulking. Shop around you can buy them directly from a manufacturer. You may be able to buy them a few at a time or all together and pick them up at will call. Even if you have to change window framing with 2x or 1x4 and window casing is easy. If you can build a shed you can install windows over winter at your leisure.

    Check to see if you have a company called "Window World" where you live. They measure, custom size and install your windows. Very good windows and a reasonable price. I'm in Florida and my double pane widows have kept the heat out for years now. I was shocked to my core when I got a huge gigantic quote from a big name company. My mind was blown by the sky high amount they quoted. Good luck.
    Love riding with you! You are anamazing travel companion!

    • @kimfrommn7162
      @kimfrommn7162 3 года назад

      Mike, I had "Window World" replace my windows 2 years ago and I do not have any complaints. Anderson's estimate was $10,000.00 dollars higher for the same job as "Window World". My heat bill the last two winters were about quarter lower each month. Plus, I do not have to put up the scotch window anymore to prevent heat loss through the windows! I would check around before settling with Anderson's on replacing your windows, that's is you are looking for a lower estimate! I really enjoy riding with you. I wish all the truckers I come in contact when I am on the highway p, were you! I very much trust your driving! I was in Colorado 2 Springs ago driving home from Phoenix where I picked up for myself a 2005 Buick LaCrosse. I spent a week traveling through Colorado, and the scenery was awesome! So I really do appreciate you taking us through this beautiful state! Take Care! 😊 ❤️

That did sound a might steep what they want to charge to install those windows. How about them installing the more difficult ones and maybe have someone else do the others or maybe eliminate some of those windows? Just a thought.

    That is called ' regenerative braking ' kind of works like a jake brake in reverse when you let off the pedal even without hitting the brake. I don't know exactly how it works but a cousins car has it. They are going to have to come up with trucks that drive themselves because fewer and fewer drivers out there that know how to drive including four wheeler drivers. Keep the hammer down and the shiny side up ! PEACE !

      I second that. I live in MI and the Anderson windows on our previous home (built new) only lasted about 10 years before starting to condensate in cold weather. Our present home (again, built new) has Pella windows. Much better. 7 years on these and no issues. Home Depot's Jeld-Wen windows are junk, IMHO. Shop around a bit, and I bet you can find a quality window at a good price. Thanks for the continuing great vids!

    Good morning! Enjoyed hearing about your progress on the new shed. Seems as we age our minds & bodies go through a separation. You want to do, but your body has other plans. Aleve may help with some of those aches if you can take it. The windows in the shed would be a good idea for ventilation. I put 3 in mine. 2 on west side brings in a good breeze in summer if I'm working on a project. The "1" on North side, I can leave partially up a little during summer to keep fresh air coming in. It's in an area rain won't come in, & it's only up 2-3". I love hearing you talk, & riding shotgun with you to see the beautiful scenery you see. Enjoy the rest of your day as best as you can. I don't know how some of these drivers today get a license. Peace be unto you as well.

    All professional install services are through the roof now expensive. Costs minimum 8000 dollars for a new roof, 7500 for HVAC Heat Pump installs, 30,000 dollars for window installations, 5,000 dollars at least for new flooring. If you are on a fixed income, your fucked. Thankfully, since you are a trucking making good money, you can afford it. Try having a 1,000 a month budget, while watching your house slowly fall apart while your living in it, thats real reality.

    Red left port going to the sea. Not only does the sentence remind us that port is on the left side of the ship, it also tells us that, when you are on a river flowing down towards the sea [ocean] you keep the red buoys to the left. Dad was a smart cookie.

They still have to maneuver the truck and/or trailer, this is gonna send interest rates soaring Besides can a auto truck adapt to weather and road conditions? This is a bad idea.

    I don't think it would work for a semi truck that's autonomous because of the autonomous can't do the manual labor that the man can do like install chains on the tires

    The curves on that bike path looks too sharp for that kind of speed

    The Left & Port both have 4 letters. That's how my dad told me to remember too. Nice :)

    I likew those chains that you flip a switch and they move into position and rotate so a chain goes under the tires
