    15:49 Those three lunch scenes flowed impeccably. . I notice this during a lot of your videos. You begin narration, continue through multiple B-rolls, then continue again during a stationary conclusion of that sequence. . Your work is remarkably cohesive. I am impressed.

    Thanks so much. I do definitely end up in kind of an accidental structure to how my videos are formed. Some folks like to talk to the camera the whole time, others are silent through the whole video process and don’t add any music. I try and take inspiration from all of those. When I’m watching YT, I’m watching half for enjoyment and half to observe what others are doing differently than myself. Appreciate the kind words from you.

    I definitely liked your video showing how you make money on the road. I'm hoping to go full-time RVing in DEC 2024. The information you provide is helping with ideas for future budgets, etc. Thank you! Safe travels!

    Here, let me help your algorithm, so do u remember me telling u about my ram (2018 dually) ABS module issue, that's still on back order, since last sept, every time i start up the truck i would get the "service electronic brake system" n "service antilock brake system" dealer said it was code error C0020-01. Now my two batteries 5 yrs old not holding charge well anymore, so 2 days ago i put in new ones doing drivers battery first. (One at a time). Once both installed i started her. NO service error! 😳 turned her all the way off n back on again, yup no service error! When changing the passenger side battery discovered a loose nut on the battery that seats a cable but didn't affect the clamp charge on the battery terminal it remained tight anyway. But like holy 💩 u got to be kidding me?? Truck has camper parked on street, haven't taken her for a spin yet because its musical chairs trying to get my spot back (so when i move i want to be gone for a week at least). But unless the abs module is really f*, i don't think error is coming back anytime soon, since this is the first time it disappeared! Wild eh? 🍻

    That’s freaking crazy! It’s amazing what the loose ground situation will cause. It’s a bigger bummer that the technicians didn’t check something that is a basic part of diagnosis on any electrical related problem. Glad you found it in the end but bummed that something like this caused you so much down time from the road.

    20:11 My friend of a half-century had a titanium cage installed in his spine. We took our ExpeditionVehicle from our workkamp gig on the Oregon farm to his Nevada home for four days... ... and got weather trapped. A couple-three inches of snow, followed by freezing rain, more snow, for eight days and nights. . After our relief took over, we had a family reunion in Grass Valley, California. Then, a blast back north on Interstate Five. . The highest California diesel price -- us$7.12.9 per gallon. That is just about twice as much as Oregon. . Is that increase all taxes?

    What better way to live life while you can eh! Being diverse in jobs, u don't get stuck with a job u discover u hate, for too long lol! Not being a nomad, and I still had so many different jobs/careers and ugh, schooling. Frankly I don't think I could ever be one of those people working at the same job for more than a few years. Oh! Now I know why you're so dam good at working on your own rig! A big 🍺🍺 cheers to your skill set!

    It’s very fun to have some variety in the work place. I don’t know if I’d want to go back to being a long term boat mechanic again but when there’s an end date in sight I love it. My time of working boats definitely has helped my knowledge on my rig. It’s good to have some diverse skills on the road. 🍻

You failed to mention the vast amount of money you get from KZread and it is so much that ya just just do that other stuff cuz your bored....lol Be safe out there.

    "Vast" amounts? Dude, they only have 6500 subscribers. They aren't making vast amounts of anything from KZread. 100,000 subscribers might earn you $2000 a month. So at 6500 subscribers you're talking, maybe, $130 a month. Plus, he didn't fail to mention it. He literally talks about it at the end of the video.

    2 ай бұрын

    It allows the boat to slow down to a proper trolling speed for fishing. You raise and lower it with the white string you can see attached to it. If a boat goes about 3mph in forward at idle, this plate will allow you to do 1.5 ish mph. They’re pretty effective. Thanks for watching and commenting!!

    re : attempts to comment . Usually, I have a tiny 'paper-airplane' symbol next to the comment window. A few moments ago, before I was able to write this, I had 'dollar-sign heart' and 'camera' symbols instead of the standard. Weird, eh?

    I’m not sure what the camera is but I do know what the heart/dollar sign is. It’s a tool YT allows creators to put on their videos for if viewers want to donate to our creating these videos. It’s a great tool for small channels that don’t make much on YT but often have very loyal followers
