Just found your channel this morning, it is super!! Watched all 3 of your Branson trip. I actually live here now. I met my wife in April of 1983 while I was driving a city bus in Terre Haute, Indiana, 2 and a half months later we got married. Moved to the Branson area in 1999. The Raddison Hotel is where my wife worked at and I actually worked at the Walmart where you parked and went to eat sushi. How did you like driving across the wonderful Kimberling City bridge? LOL The Dogwood Canyon is actually owned by Johnny Morris whop own Bass Pro shops. They recently acquired a rare white buffalo calf. I believe they have somewhere around 10,000 acers there. At The College of the Ozarks, there is a museum there that has the old Beverly Hillbillies original truck from the old television series. When I was a manager for Walmart, we would hire kids from College of the Ozarks as interns and they would get college credits for it, but they still also had too do their chores at the college as well. I know of 3 interns that actually became store managers within 4 to 5 years which is unheard of!! Next month is one of the biggest months here in Branson. The Branson Veterans Task force puts on a week long Veterans Day Celebration. Huge parade with flyovers, etc. The entertainers here go all out for the veterans and their spouses. About 10 years ago and purely by chance, I ran into a guy that I had served with 50 years ago. Needless to say, it was quite a tearful accidental reunion. You hit the nail on the head when you said Branson is like Vegas without the casinos, we hear that a lot. It's all about family and veterans here. Maybe you can bring your family here someday. If you make it down this way, give me a shout out. You can contact me if you do by leaving a comment on one of my videos. I REALLY liked how you compared the catfish to Kim Kardashian.

Actually, that picture in my profile is my little Grace. I don’t pay much attention to my profile details but, yes, that is her. I don’t like my picture taken at all so I use vehicles or Grace as profile pictures instead. I have a question for you about the buses, how long does bus companies usually keep the buses until they send them off and replace them? I imagine that with diesel engines, the buses can go considerably further than the average car. A tractor, from an 18 wheeler goes over 700,000 miles on a single engine. The current story is that automakers are not allowed to sell or make gas, diesel operated vehicles after 2030 something but I understand that besides the many complications involved in switching over because well, you can buy gas, you can buy diesel if you run low but many areas don’t have the pumps to recharge these electric vehicles and garages when they need repairs??? I also understand someone asked a power company employee their take on electric cars and they said that the poles can’t take that much power. Our system can barely manage the electricity that we depend on every day to power our homes and the businesses. We would be completely in the dark with no power if we all depended on the power grid for our vehicles. Personally, I don’t think running those buses and tractor trailers on electricity is a good idea because batteries are too easily compromised beyond our control in so many ways. I think that the change is fascinating but highly impractical. Maybe for personal use, for people who don’t commute far but again maintenance would be a serious problem. I hope and expect that the president will dismiss that demand for electric vehicles. Anyway, for diesel buses, how long does the bus company keep a bus in the fleet before they retire or trade it in? You were talking about an older bus which is still in your fleet, I imagine that it is still there because it hasn’t gotten to that maintenance threshold where it is too expensive to keep and maintain yet. Obviously since you work in the office now, you know more about than I would. Many companies, that is why a vehicle is removed and they are frequently hand picked as they get too expensive to keep. Sometimes I ask myself why not just replace the engine, the transmission, those things are much cheaper than replacing the entire vehicle but we worry about someone’s appraisal of our property. I do the same, somewhat. I like many different vehicles and get bored with just one. I love your truck. I’m not a Toyota fan but it’s a nice looking truck and for you, it’s really it’s a nice truck. I love that you got a standard too. Your wife no doubt appreciates that you take that yet I also know many women who like standard over automatics too. I know an older woman who is a semi truck driver. She will only drive standard for her personal vehicles but at work she jumps in the tractors with automatic transmissions. I had to ask another driver about that so I wouldn’t offend her accidentally. Turns out that the clutch is so different that it might be too difficult for her. Personally, I think she is plenty capable but that, I will never know. It must bother you sometimes to stay in the office when you enjoy driving the buses. It’s great that you drive them and help run business. I know many companies, the office people are not licensed to operate the equipment so that causes some issues when they don’t understand what the employees go through sometimes. It’s great to have that experience under your belt but it also must suck if you are not driving yourself when that is what you really into, not the gripping from multiple people, the faxing, filing, payroll, office, secretarial related stuff

@@JWangvlogs Inappropriate, private time with food. I had a chuckle over that, unheard of. I have never in my life ever thought someone enjoying their food was inappropriate and certainly don’t consider it privet but some people are different. Not different as in I would consider it privet just some have different ideas of what privet is. I’m happy that you really enjoy your food. That was different for sure
