I'm not a trucker, but definitely enjoy watching your videos. My grandson is just beginning his trucking career as a matter of fact he's in Des Moines right now picking up his truck. So naturally I've been watching a lot of trucker videos and have gained a lot of respect for the job you men and women do. Be safe all and bless you all.

Opie wanted to even the score with the cat family. He wanted to be 1-1 at least. Story time. I grew up with cats and dogs. We had a cat named Boots. She had 4 white feet. The rest of her was solid black. Well she had a litter of kittens. She was in the back yard with them. Around the corner comes Gus. He was a mixed coon hound that daddy hunted with. Gus got a little close to Boots and her kittens and she left one paw track across Gus's nose. A few seconds later you could seen the track because Boots had shredded Gus' s nose and it had begun to bleed. One swipe was all it took and he had learned his lesson. I still think Opie was looking to even the score. Thanks for what you do Kurt. I may not post a reply every video, but we thank you for what you do. If more of America was real with real people's lives maybe this would be a better place. I can't stand TV anymore. Keep it up big guy. Bless you and yours. Stay safe. PS. Give Opie a belly rub for me.

Porter greetings! 🇺🇸 The cat scared the WHAT out of Opie? Didn’t know he had any ice in him. Hehehe! Hotdogs are all good in my opinion! Zheng, do they make Premium Electric as well?! One nozzle is regular and the other is premium…or is it Canadian? 🧐 I hate rattles as well. It always pays to have a clean truck on the inside…you never know who you might have in your truck, but it’s hard to keep it clean all the time on those long runs. When I’m on a trip, in my van or pickup, I have ICE…In Case of Emergency info, How much cash I have on me, What guns I carry and Who might be with me. I’ve heard of guys having problems when out on the road and they have to call for help. Odd situations! Hopefully it never happens to you. Blessings! 😎🇺🇸✌️

When an animal is running, they are not paying attention to their surroundings. Dogs can take off at any time. No matter how well behaved your dog is, he needs to be on a leash for his protection. Once he gets hit its too late.
@ralgith3 жыл бұрын
Have to disagree with you. My pitbull pays attention to his surroundings very well, even when chasing "prey". He was chasing a rabbit the other day, and stopped because a car was coming. You have to know your animal, know its behaviors and reactions. But a blanket statement like yours will never be correct. There will always be exceptions.
