Ive been following you for about 7 years now ever since i had a several stroke that caused me not to walk anymore and i used to take my kids to disney so your channel would have me reminnaisse of going to the orlando area and as a kid my dad would take us to clemont, florida and stay in an a A frame cabin on a lake that was in the 60s. Welcome to our area, side note i was a truck driver for awhile

I like the old gravity-feed gas pumps with the sight glass. They didn't have mechanical pumps like modern gas pumps because they used the force of gravity to let the fuel pour out from the sight glass. This is why the pumps are so tall, too. The reason why they had a sight glass on top of the pump was because this was the way the gas attendant could see how much fuel they put into your car. Also, due to the fact that gasoline didn't always have good quality back then. Back in the early 1900s and early twenties it was common to have water contamination in your gasoline. The sight glass would show if there was any water sitting at the bottom of the gasoline inside the sight glass. You could see the water and gas separation inside the sight glass.

Thank you for visiting the museum. I was a truck driver for 30 years in the northeast US, and I remember seeing that Henry Good truck around A LOT in the 80s and mid-90s. My most recent job before retiring was working for Hood/Crowley in Massachusetts, so I saw the Crowley model tractor trailer in the display case and I hauled trailers with that series of logo. I also worked for Dominos Pizza, and I would wonder if the truck stop had a scale model of a Dominos truck... my boss had one on his desk and a lot of us drivers had the tiny Matchbox scale trucks given to us for safe driving, customer service, etc. Thanks again Adam, for being who you are and shedding joy on the world.

The way you frame your camera shots, etc has improved dramatically since I first found your channel years ago. It's amazing how you seem to have developed a natural sense of cinematography and composition. I salute you, amigo!

They dock the trailers where the big trucks can't. Those cab overs have the most uncomfortable rides. Yes the motor is under the seat. You can't keep anything in the cab that could go through the windshield, when it's being repaired. Cab will be tipped.

I have a fun fact for you, I had a ghostly experience at the Iowa 80 truck stop. As a truck driver back in the mid 90's, I took a shower in a shower room there. After I was done taking my shower, I was at the sink brushing my teeth and then putting things away into my shower bag, when I suddenly felt the glass shower door firmly hit me in my back, I was quite surprised as I turned around to push the shower door away from me. I then looked into the shower seeing on the floor that I had almost forgot my shampoo bottle that was on the floor with my razor sitting on top of it, where I had left it. I went into the shower and picked up my razor and my shampoo bottle and put them into my shower bag. I then looked around to see if there was a vent or something that could have blown the door into me, there wasn't a vent there and this was a heavy glass shower door. I picked up my shower bag from the sink and headed for the door saying "Thanks Rick" to my best friend who had passed away a couple years earlier, while I was trying not to freak out, as I opened the door and walked out. I have never taken a shower there since then and unfortunately I don't remember the room number. I didn't hear anything or see anything, so I never fully knew what happened, all that I do know is if that shower door hadn't hit me, I would have left my razor and shampoo bottle there.
