I love your videos. They are not boring; you show small town America instead of the concrete and glass jungle of the big city. Your furbabies were happy to see Dad. My furbabies act the same way with their Uncle. It was nice with First Class rolling down the interstate with the K100 Aerodyne cabover pulling the livestock trailer.

Hope the dead head pay was better than what you implying. At least you had enough weight on your truck to not be all over the road. Was your dad waiting on you guys to get into town? Now that’s a welcome! 🤩 You don’t normally have an extra engine fan in your garage. Hope that won’t be too hard to locate. Good stuff! Keep yourself safe.

Heard a story once from a truck driver. DOT stopped him and wanted to see his paperwork, driver says, "I don't need any paperwork for what I am hauling. But I can tell you that it is full, from the front to the back and from the top to the bottom". Officer says to open the door, looks inside and sees nothing. Driver tells him, "see, I told you, it is full of air, from the top to the bottom".

BTW, that "sailboat fuel" weights a little over 290 pounds (in a 53-foot trailer, so if it's not secured it could cause a lot of damage in a sudden stop or another violent maneuver. Slow and steady and watch out extra sharp for chicken coops ... you could be overweight and not realize it ... LoL
