00:00:16.209 --> 00:00:20.629
Welcome to Botches Off -Road Podcast. This is

00:00:20.629 --> 00:00:24.390
a wrap for me and Mark because Gavin is a little

00:00:24.390 --> 00:00:26.750
bitch. Just kidding. He's got some family stuff

00:00:26.750 --> 00:00:30.030
going on and he's like, hey guys, I'm too busy

00:00:30.030 --> 00:00:34.049
with all this crap. Can you just like do the

00:00:34.049 --> 00:00:36.850
podcast without me? And I'm like, but dude, you're

00:00:36.850 --> 00:00:40.090
like half of our content. We don't talk a lot.

00:00:40.270 --> 00:00:44.189
This is the Gavin show with Mark and Alex. Let's

00:00:44.189 --> 00:00:49.200
be honest. He usually is sometimes. I just do

00:00:49.200 --> 00:00:52.799
all the work. He does all the talking. And Mark's

00:00:52.799 --> 00:00:57.579
here. Yeah. Yeah, pretty much. Just some input.

00:00:57.859 --> 00:01:01.619
We had a pretty good weekend, though. Oh, yeah.

00:01:02.479 --> 00:01:07.140
You and me at least did. Yeah, yeah. So it started...

00:01:07.140 --> 00:01:10.299
I don't remember what time you guys got here

00:01:10.299 --> 00:01:16.040
on Friday. You keep saying 7. Which sounds about

00:01:16.040 --> 00:01:18.799
right. Okay. So it started, well, I guess it

00:01:18.799 --> 00:01:20.260
started before that because I started working

00:01:20.260 --> 00:01:26.939
on the 4Runner at like 230. I ripped my booster

00:01:26.939 --> 00:01:30.019
and master cylinder out and then pulled the master

00:01:30.019 --> 00:01:32.540
cylinder and booster out of the parts truck and

00:01:32.540 --> 00:01:36.519
put it in my truck and then pretty much had it

00:01:36.519 --> 00:01:38.819
buttoned up by the time you got back or got here.

00:01:39.739 --> 00:01:43.400
Yeah. We just had to bleed it. But guys, I'm

00:01:43.400 --> 00:01:47.609
proud to say. After six months of struggling

00:01:47.609 --> 00:01:49.489
and trying to figure out why it ain't working,

00:01:49.689 --> 00:01:53.230
the Forerunner is on the road. I've been driving

00:01:53.230 --> 00:01:56.849
it every day in and out of town, all around the

00:01:56.849 --> 00:02:00.430
farm. It stops. It stays stopping, and it doesn't.

00:02:00.769 --> 00:02:04.269
No, it stops, and it doesn't continue to stop.

00:02:04.709 --> 00:02:07.549
Wait, it does continue to stop, but it doesn't

00:02:07.549 --> 00:02:11.469
stay stopped. There we go. The brakes aren't

00:02:11.469 --> 00:02:14.750
locking up anymore. Forerunner works great. Still

00:02:14.750 --> 00:02:18.509
slow as sin. We'll have to get to that. But it

00:02:18.509 --> 00:02:24.729
works. Yeah. Did we do anything else Friday?

00:02:24.729 --> 00:02:26.729
Or did we just go to bed? Well, we camped, of

00:02:26.729 --> 00:02:32.129
course. Yeah, we camped. Was that the night I...

00:02:32.129 --> 00:02:34.389
I think we watched something or not. We might

00:02:34.389 --> 00:02:38.789
have watched Star Trek. Yeah. I've been watching

00:02:38.789 --> 00:02:42.289
my way through Star Trek in the timeline order.

00:02:43.050 --> 00:02:47.889
um as best i can i'm in tos right now almost

00:02:47.889 --> 00:02:50.490
done with tos actually and then i'm going to

00:02:50.490 --> 00:02:55.590
take a break and just watch uh uh strange new

00:02:55.590 --> 00:02:58.270
worlds as they come out for this season because

00:02:58.270 --> 00:03:01.710
that technically happens before tos but strange

00:03:01.710 --> 00:03:03.930
new worlds this is their last season and then

00:03:03.930 --> 00:03:07.889
i'll be back on timeline so star trek is great

00:03:07.889 --> 00:03:13.479
you should watch it in timeline order All of

00:03:13.479 --> 00:03:17.219
it. I wonder how many hours of Star Trek content

00:03:17.219 --> 00:03:36.259
there is. One second. 800 hours of Star Trek

00:03:36.259 --> 00:03:43.240
currently. Huh. Yep. Kind of wild to think about.

00:03:43.639 --> 00:03:46.479
Yep. I wonder how much I've watched up to this

00:03:46.479 --> 00:03:47.939
point. I'm not even going to look it up. It's

00:03:47.939 --> 00:03:57.639
bad. Yeah, Star Trek's great. I'm sorry if I

00:03:57.639 --> 00:04:00.099
go quiet out of the blue. I've had a cough for

00:04:00.099 --> 00:04:02.460
the... Let's be honest, I've had a cough for

00:04:02.460 --> 00:04:04.740
like four months at this point. It just won't

00:04:04.740 --> 00:04:09.840
go away. Yeah. It's that whole turkey dust, I'm

00:04:09.840 --> 00:04:16.449
sure. Then Saturday. Well, yeah, we went to bed

00:04:16.449 --> 00:04:20.610
pretty early because we had plans for Saturday.

00:04:20.889 --> 00:04:24.329
Got up early Saturday and headed out to Detroit

00:04:24.329 --> 00:04:28.930
to pick up the OBS truck that we have previously

00:04:28.930 --> 00:04:33.269
talked about on the show. Dude, I'm impressed.

00:04:33.550 --> 00:04:36.490
Honestly, I brought all my tools. I was expecting

00:04:36.490 --> 00:04:38.410
there to be something wrong with this truck.

00:04:39.230 --> 00:04:42.509
and we stopped yeah we stopped at discount tire

00:04:42.509 --> 00:04:45.269
got the tire swapped it came with a new set of

00:04:45.269 --> 00:04:47.870
front tires they just weren't swapped onto it

00:04:47.870 --> 00:04:51.629
yet so we had them swapped on and it just drove

00:04:51.629 --> 00:04:57.490
perfect all the way home yeah it in michigan

00:04:57.490 --> 00:05:00.509
to find an obs truck that isn't absolutely destroyed

00:05:00.509 --> 00:05:04.430
you're generally paying 10 to 15 grand The fact

00:05:04.430 --> 00:05:09.110
that we paid 6 ,000 for this still blows my mind.

00:05:09.790 --> 00:05:12.389
And it's one of the nicer ones I've seen in the

00:05:12.389 --> 00:05:19.290
area, too. Yes. I mean, it's an extended cab.

00:05:19.829 --> 00:05:23.850
And if you know anything about OBS trucks, extended

00:05:23.850 --> 00:05:28.100
cabs have foam. behind the doors in the extended

00:05:28.100 --> 00:05:31.019
cab area they have foam down low which traps

00:05:31.019 --> 00:05:33.100
moisture and then rots the truck from the inside

00:05:33.100 --> 00:05:38.180
out this one has absolutely no rot started like

00:05:38.180 --> 00:05:41.540
i'm just yeah i can't get over it does have little

00:05:41.540 --> 00:05:44.160
things like it still has the cobra head exhaust

00:05:44.160 --> 00:05:48.220
that's got to get ripped off and get a true four

00:05:48.220 --> 00:05:52.120
inch or three inch downpipe put in um i actually

00:05:52.120 --> 00:05:56.180
found a full turbo back exhaust for it for 500

00:05:56.180 --> 00:05:58.800
bucks so i think that's what we're gonna end

00:05:58.800 --> 00:06:03.120
up going with it's a mbrp um pretty nice pretty

00:06:03.120 --> 00:06:07.660
nice kit really um dude i'm so excited about

00:06:07.660 --> 00:06:09.819
that truck i just like playing with obs trucks

00:06:09.819 --> 00:06:12.839
i i never should have bought my super duty i

00:06:12.839 --> 00:06:17.060
should have just bought another obs truck yeah

00:06:17.060 --> 00:06:21.139
you always say that but i do love my super duty

00:06:21.139 --> 00:06:26.779
you know mm -hmm Okay, I'll admit, I got in the

00:06:26.779 --> 00:06:29.959
OBS when I drove it, and I got on it, and I realized,

00:06:30.160 --> 00:06:35.100
okay, this thing is slow. But, like, I still

00:06:35.100 --> 00:06:40.339
loved it. I mean, it's probably slower than the

00:06:40.339 --> 00:06:43.220
last OBS you had, since you heavily modified

00:06:43.220 --> 00:06:47.540
that one. It is slower than the last OBS truck

00:06:47.540 --> 00:06:52.850
I had after I modified it. Okay, and before,

00:06:53.029 --> 00:06:55.509
because before, my other one was faster still.

00:06:57.029 --> 00:06:59.029
Yeah, I don't know. It's a nice truck. I like

00:06:59.029 --> 00:07:04.329
it. There really wasn't anything. The drive back

00:07:04.329 --> 00:07:07.189
was really uneventful, other than people driving

00:07:07.189 --> 00:07:09.430
like idiots, but that's just standard at this

00:07:09.430 --> 00:07:17.269
point. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, I don't know. It was

00:07:17.269 --> 00:07:19.310
just nice. We drove out. We picked up a car.

00:07:19.870 --> 00:07:22.230
and driving back we didn't have a single fucking

00:07:22.230 --> 00:07:26.769
problem and usually that it's all problems yeah

00:07:26.769 --> 00:07:29.410
kind of reminds me of when we went and picked

00:07:29.410 --> 00:07:31.329
up the forerunner so that means this was a good

00:07:31.329 --> 00:07:40.889
purchase yeah um what do we do when we got back

00:07:40.889 --> 00:07:43.089
on oh then we went and helped dad with the horse

00:07:43.089 --> 00:07:47.920
trailer yep uh that was But I'm trying to figure

00:07:47.920 --> 00:07:51.879
out how to make that work. So, like, dad blames

00:07:51.879 --> 00:07:55.899
this incident. I don't think it was. Almost ten

00:07:55.899 --> 00:07:58.759
years ago. Actually, over ten years ago at this

00:07:58.759 --> 00:08:02.019
point. I was in a parking lot pulling my dad's

00:08:02.019 --> 00:08:04.920
horse trailer. A lady parked really close to

00:08:04.920 --> 00:08:08.019
the driver's side. And I tried to, like, negotiate

00:08:08.019 --> 00:08:11.399
around her. And I caught her. I caught the front

00:08:11.399 --> 00:08:15.319
bumper of her car. It was a Pontiac G6. No. Grand

00:08:15.319 --> 00:08:18.660
Prix. I caught the plastic front bumper of her

00:08:18.660 --> 00:08:20.680
car and ripped it off with the fender on the

00:08:20.680 --> 00:08:23.779
trailer, and my dad claims that that's what broke

00:08:23.779 --> 00:08:25.959
the weld that made his wall start to separate.

00:08:28.180 --> 00:08:34.340
I don't think it's valid, but I think maybe the

00:08:34.340 --> 00:08:38.080
time my dad hit the funeral home was a little

00:08:38.080 --> 00:08:43.679
more valid of a way to break it. I was about

00:08:43.679 --> 00:08:46.559
to say, if you were able to break it with a plastic

00:08:46.559 --> 00:08:49.240
bumper, that must have been not that great of

00:08:49.240 --> 00:08:51.539
a weld. Dude, well, you saw the construction

00:08:51.539 --> 00:08:55.340
on that thing. Okay. I know. Full disclosure,

00:08:55.559 --> 00:08:58.779
my dad has a really nice horse trailer. It's

00:08:58.779 --> 00:09:04.200
a 2003 Aluma Sport Bison. Well, Aluma Sport built

00:09:04.200 --> 00:09:08.779
by Bison. The way horse trailers work is dealerships

00:09:08.779 --> 00:09:11.769
purchase most horse trailers. dealerships purchase

00:09:11.769 --> 00:09:15.269
an unfinished trailer bring it in and then pay

00:09:15.269 --> 00:09:18.070
somebody to furnish the living quarters on it

00:09:18.070 --> 00:09:23.309
um yep so all the luma sports are a little bit

00:09:23.309 --> 00:09:26.009
different on the inside except for two because

00:09:26.009 --> 00:09:29.049
my dad's has a clone uh but that guy only did

00:09:29.049 --> 00:09:33.330
the two and it really is it's a beautiful horse

00:09:33.330 --> 00:09:37.120
trailer it was like 55 60 grand at the time and

00:09:37.120 --> 00:09:39.299
even today they're still selling for like 25

00:09:39.299 --> 00:09:42.200
grand like it's it's a really nice horse trailer

00:09:42.200 --> 00:09:45.200
the construction on this thing is fucking dog

00:09:45.200 --> 00:09:51.000
shit like i don't and i don't know if trailer

00:09:51.000 --> 00:09:53.779
manufacturers if it's like uh you know mobile

00:09:53.779 --> 00:09:56.759
home manufacturers right if they're just trying

00:09:56.759 --> 00:09:58.720
to pump these things out as fast as they possibly

00:09:58.720 --> 00:10:03.789
can um It's good enough to get by, and obviously

00:10:03.789 --> 00:10:06.269
it's lasted. I mean, the things of 2003, we've

00:10:06.269 --> 00:10:10.769
had pretty minor problems with it. But all the

00:10:10.769 --> 00:10:13.850
welds, it's like a really tiny spot booger weld.

00:10:13.929 --> 00:10:16.830
That's all it's got. Yeah, you got something

00:10:16.830 --> 00:10:18.490
in the room with you there, Mark? You keep glancing

00:10:18.490 --> 00:10:23.529
around. Well, Alan briefly walked in. It's like

00:10:23.529 --> 00:10:28.440
you saw a ghost. Your eyes got big. Yeah, I don't

00:10:28.440 --> 00:10:30.860
know. It might have been the time that I bumped

00:10:30.860 --> 00:10:37.259
a Grand Prix, but... It doesn't matter. We had

00:10:37.259 --> 00:10:41.220
to figure out how to pull the ceiling down without

00:10:41.220 --> 00:10:44.360
pulling the floor up. And me and Dad had tried

00:10:44.360 --> 00:10:47.279
some stuff last weekend. None of it worked. We

00:10:47.279 --> 00:10:50.820
knew we could bring the floor up, but that doesn't...

00:10:50.820 --> 00:10:54.279
It was buckled at the top, not the bottom. So

00:10:54.279 --> 00:10:59.100
I brought the... loader over and we tried to

00:10:59.100 --> 00:11:01.860
pull it down with the loader didn't even budge

00:11:01.860 --> 00:11:04.500
it i mean it just it just stayed right there

00:11:04.500 --> 00:11:07.539
so then what we ended up doing was we dealt with

00:11:07.539 --> 00:11:11.220
it we lifted the floor up got that to get into

00:11:11.220 --> 00:11:13.559
position and then had alan do some actual good

00:11:13.559 --> 00:11:18.360
welds around the door frame and beefy welds they're

00:11:18.360 --> 00:11:21.879
beefy um dad buttoned it all back up together

00:11:21.879 --> 00:11:24.039
you know we called it good whatever the door

00:11:24.039 --> 00:11:27.549
isn't quite aligned right Well, in the last...

00:11:27.549 --> 00:11:30.330
We did that Saturday, so Sunday, Monday, today's

00:11:30.330 --> 00:11:33.429
Tuesday. In the past three days, it's come about

00:11:33.429 --> 00:11:38.789
halfway to lining up now. Yeah. Your dad was

00:11:38.789 --> 00:11:40.309
talking to me Sunday while I was waiting for

00:11:40.309 --> 00:11:42.730
you. He saw me pull up behind his truck waiting

00:11:42.730 --> 00:11:46.330
for you. He's like, that trailer has kept settling

00:11:46.330 --> 00:11:52.629
itself in. It's almost perfect now. So, I think

00:11:52.629 --> 00:11:58.340
if he puts... probably either my horse or Eeyore,

00:11:58.500 --> 00:12:02.500
the two big ones we got. If he put one of them

00:12:02.500 --> 00:12:05.299
in that front stall or two of them, you know,

00:12:05.299 --> 00:12:07.480
put one in one stall, one in the stall next to

00:12:07.480 --> 00:12:11.279
him and just went for a 45 minute drive. I bet

00:12:11.279 --> 00:12:15.360
you it would even write the hell out, dude. But

00:12:15.360 --> 00:12:18.580
horse trailers fixed. I don't have to hear my

00:12:18.580 --> 00:12:20.799
dad bitch at me about it for another 10 years.

00:12:20.879 --> 00:12:24.690
Like I, okay. He found it like. Four years after

00:12:24.690 --> 00:12:28.190
I hit that lady, he found it and then started

00:12:28.190 --> 00:12:33.190
blaming me. Like, come on, Dad. But she's all

00:12:33.190 --> 00:12:40.250
fixed. Yeah. Yeah, then we came home and we watched

00:12:40.250 --> 00:12:44.990
some Star Trek. Yeah. Oh, we cleaned out the

00:12:44.990 --> 00:12:48.710
trucks to get ready for rigs and coffee. Oh,

00:12:48.750 --> 00:12:54.679
yeah, we did that, too. Yeah. Oh, also on our

00:12:54.679 --> 00:12:57.240
drive back from Detroit, I realized my tie rod

00:12:57.240 --> 00:13:01.019
had gotten really bad on the Ford. So I have

00:13:01.019 --> 00:13:03.279
ordered those. And this weekend we're going to

00:13:03.279 --> 00:13:07.240
have to do front end work. I've got to do, I'm

00:13:07.240 --> 00:13:10.460
going to do all three tie rods. And then we're

00:13:10.460 --> 00:13:16.220
going to replace the track bar ball joint. And

00:13:16.220 --> 00:13:18.139
the track bar. We're putting that adjustable

00:13:18.139 --> 00:13:24.149
one on. Okay. To hopefully move my axle back

00:13:24.149 --> 00:13:26.570
where it's actually supposed to sit. Then we

00:13:26.570 --> 00:13:29.070
have to do an us alignment because I can't afford

00:13:29.070 --> 00:13:36.590
a real alignment. You'll be fun to learn how

00:13:36.590 --> 00:13:43.210
to align a salad axle. Yeah, I'm wondering. I

00:13:43.210 --> 00:13:44.789
really don't know how this is going to work,

00:13:44.809 --> 00:13:48.029
dude. Because we've got to not only align the

00:13:48.029 --> 00:13:52.409
tires, we've got to align the axle. Yeah. And

00:13:52.409 --> 00:13:54.250
I haven't quite figured out how we do that yet.

00:13:57.809 --> 00:13:59.750
We've aligned it before when we replaced the

00:13:59.750 --> 00:14:05.750
other tie rod, so I know it's possible. Did we?

00:14:05.850 --> 00:14:08.970
We had to. Because I couldn't get it in to get

00:14:08.970 --> 00:14:11.269
it aligned. So we ran a string down the side.

00:14:11.370 --> 00:14:13.629
Oh, I guess you're right. You're right. Yeah,

00:14:13.710 --> 00:14:21.509
you're right. So... And he's dying again. Yeah,

00:14:21.549 --> 00:14:25.830
sorry, guys. So then we... We gotta do that.

00:14:26.049 --> 00:14:28.889
We're gonna crack into the timing on the black

00:14:28.889 --> 00:14:31.809
truck. Because now that my truck's all buttoned

00:14:31.809 --> 00:14:36.470
up, it's time. And if this one takes us six months...

00:14:36.470 --> 00:14:38.090
I'm pretty confident we might have an issue.

00:14:38.309 --> 00:14:40.190
If this one takes us six months, I'm gonna fucking

00:14:40.190 --> 00:14:50.460
cry, dude. I'm so sick of this. I hope not. Then,

00:14:50.460 --> 00:14:52.600
oh, John's going to come over and do the brakes

00:14:52.600 --> 00:14:56.759
on his car. Oh, along with all of this, the brakes

00:14:56.759 --> 00:14:59.919
on our buddy John's Taurus had went out on Friday

00:14:59.919 --> 00:15:03.700
or started grinding really bad on Friday, and

00:15:03.700 --> 00:15:06.440
his wife didn't tell us until we got back with

00:15:06.440 --> 00:15:12.940
the new truck. Yeah. I don't think she said anything

00:15:12.940 --> 00:15:15.360
until the day of picking up the trailer, the

00:15:15.360 --> 00:15:19.419
camper trailer. But yeah, he pulled the camper

00:15:19.419 --> 00:15:21.799
back from Traverse City with the new truck, too.

00:15:21.960 --> 00:15:26.879
So she's doing good. It's a nice truck. I'm really

00:15:26.879 --> 00:15:30.059
excited that we can turn the backseat into a

00:15:30.059 --> 00:15:31.840
bed so I have somewhere comfortable to sleep

00:15:31.840 --> 00:15:36.159
while he drives me around. Like, even though

00:15:36.159 --> 00:15:39.259
it's an extended cab, for anyone who doesn't

00:15:39.259 --> 00:15:41.980
know about OBS Fords, so the crew cab has more

00:15:41.980 --> 00:15:44.679
space, obviously, between the front seat and

00:15:44.679 --> 00:15:50.539
the back area, right? But the crew cab is only

00:15:50.539 --> 00:15:54.899
a bench seat. It doesn't convert in the extended

00:15:54.899 --> 00:15:58.960
cabs. You can pull the bottom forward and it

00:15:58.960 --> 00:16:01.080
like flips over into a solid bench and then the

00:16:01.080 --> 00:16:04.200
top folds down and it makes the entire back of

00:16:04.200 --> 00:16:09.559
the extended cab a flat sleeping surface. Absolutely

00:16:09.559 --> 00:16:14.340
sick feature. Me and John both tried laying in

00:16:14.340 --> 00:16:17.100
there and we can. He has to kind of curl up a

00:16:17.100 --> 00:16:18.700
little bit, but I can pretty much just lay across

00:16:18.700 --> 00:16:21.379
the back. Like, I am a short guy. It works for

00:16:21.379 --> 00:16:24.220
me. Yeah, I was about to say, Jonathan is taller

00:16:24.220 --> 00:16:27.860
than you, and you're short. But I'm really excited,

00:16:28.000 --> 00:16:32.139
dude. Like, it's this whole business thing. I

00:16:32.139 --> 00:16:33.720
hadn't said anything because I didn't want to

00:16:33.720 --> 00:16:37.059
jinx it, right? But now we're actually buying

00:16:37.059 --> 00:16:39.519
equipment, and it feels like it's actually real,

00:16:39.600 --> 00:16:54.549
you know? Yeah. Yeah, so... God. Sorry, I still

00:16:54.549 --> 00:16:57.769
have the Star Trek amount of time it takes to

00:16:57.769 --> 00:17:02.009
watch through Star Trek. And there's an article

00:17:02.009 --> 00:17:07.150
here that's from 2021. Every series combined

00:17:07.150 --> 00:17:11.289
totals to 651 hours and 48 minutes, meaning it

00:17:11.289 --> 00:17:14.509
will take over 27 days to watch them all uninterrupted.

00:17:18.329 --> 00:17:25.930
Uninterrupted. It's going to take me years. But,

00:17:26.049 --> 00:17:33.049
yeah, so, then on Sunday, we kind of slept in

00:17:33.049 --> 00:17:38.930
on Sunday, didn't we? Not really. Not superly.

00:17:39.390 --> 00:17:41.329
I just remember getting up and leaving. I don't

00:17:41.329 --> 00:17:43.650
remember doing anything in between. I do remember

00:17:43.650 --> 00:17:46.069
that Sunday night it started raining and I had

00:17:46.069 --> 00:17:49.289
the roof open on my swag and it woke me up. And

00:17:49.289 --> 00:17:51.069
when I woke up, I'm like, oh man, I really got

00:17:51.069 --> 00:17:54.369
to go take a shit. So I ran into the house, took

00:17:54.369 --> 00:17:59.190
a shit and then woke up in my bed. Okay. You

00:17:59.190 --> 00:18:01.930
might've fell asleep or slept in. Yeah. Cause

00:18:01.930 --> 00:18:05.450
I was up and going like around eight. Yeah, no,

00:18:05.549 --> 00:18:08.500
I. I totally, I remember that now. I woke up

00:18:08.500 --> 00:18:11.319
in my bed, even though I started sleeping in

00:18:11.319 --> 00:18:14.400
my swag. And I woke up really confused on where

00:18:14.400 --> 00:18:22.660
I was. It was just that uncomfortable? No, everything,

00:18:22.880 --> 00:18:27.279
it was all comfortable. I just, I must have,

00:18:27.359 --> 00:18:30.019
after my shit, forgotten that I had started out

00:18:30.019 --> 00:18:36.049
in the swag. So I just went and laid down. I

00:18:36.049 --> 00:18:41.769
don't know. But then Sunday we drove to Cedar

00:18:41.769 --> 00:18:44.109
Springs to meet our friend to go out to Riggs

00:18:44.109 --> 00:18:47.369
and Coffee. And we waited there for her for like

00:18:47.369 --> 00:18:51.089
an hour. And she never showed up. So then I'm

00:18:51.089 --> 00:18:54.250
like, all right, Mark, let's just go. So we drive

00:18:54.250 --> 00:18:56.869
all the way to Riggs and Coffee. It was a good

00:18:56.869 --> 00:19:04.630
time. Yes. A lot of kind of similarly built 4Runners.

00:19:05.579 --> 00:19:07.539
Bunch of Jeeps that were pretty much identical.

00:19:09.000 --> 00:19:11.740
Pretty much standard for our rigs and coffee.

00:19:12.460 --> 00:19:15.299
But there were a few notable standouts. I mean,

00:19:15.319 --> 00:19:18.779
my 4Runner always stands out. But there was a...

00:19:18.779 --> 00:19:21.500
What was that thing? A imported Land Cruiser?

00:19:23.339 --> 00:19:28.390
Yeah. That thing was sick, dude. That was sick.

00:19:28.450 --> 00:19:31.109
And he's like, yeah, you know, I'm kind of careful

00:19:31.109 --> 00:19:32.990
on trails because I really don't want to dent

00:19:32.990 --> 00:19:35.210
it. And I'm like, bro, we could never wheel together.

00:19:36.730 --> 00:19:39.470
Like, your car is so cool, but if we wheeled

00:19:39.470 --> 00:19:44.170
together, it'd get a dent. Yeah, but you'd be

00:19:44.170 --> 00:19:46.650
the same bull if you owned a surf. Well, yeah,

00:19:46.710 --> 00:19:48.910
if I bought a surf, I could never wheel the thing.

00:19:48.950 --> 00:19:50.730
That's why I didn't buy one when I had a chance.

00:19:53.930 --> 00:19:55.710
I don't know. I still think I should have bought

00:19:55.710 --> 00:19:59.869
one. I was close, dude, because there was that

00:19:59.869 --> 00:20:03.390
one over in Chicago when I bought the Super Duty,

00:20:03.549 --> 00:20:08.869
that red one with the 1KZ in it. I wanted that

00:20:08.869 --> 00:20:12.069
thing so fucking bad. It was a 1KZ five -speed

00:20:12.069 --> 00:20:16.710
rear locker with the spare tire swing, of course.

00:20:18.630 --> 00:20:22.809
Beautiful, beautiful surf, dude. But it came

00:20:22.809 --> 00:20:26.529
down to it was a $16 ,000 car, and I could never

00:20:26.529 --> 00:20:30.130
have wheeled it. I would have been scared of

00:20:30.130 --> 00:20:34.769
breaking it the whole fucking time. But if I

00:20:34.769 --> 00:20:39.109
had it, all I'd want to do is wheel it. So it

00:20:39.109 --> 00:20:41.809
was better I didn't buy it. So I didn't. I bought

00:20:41.809 --> 00:20:46.809
a Super Duty. I wonder how much horsepower the

00:20:46.809 --> 00:20:56.089
1KZ makes. Sorry, listeners, I know it's kind

00:20:56.089 --> 00:20:57.670
of annoying when I just research things, but

00:20:57.670 --> 00:21:00.049
at least you get to learn stuff. They only make

00:21:00.049 --> 00:21:06.609
130 horsepower. And 245 foot -pound of torque.

00:21:07.089 --> 00:21:09.029
Well, you know what? I don't even care. I would

00:21:09.029 --> 00:21:11.470
have bought one and been very happily driving

00:21:11.470 --> 00:21:14.390
it. Oh, but you can upgrade the turbo and make

00:21:14.390 --> 00:21:16.529
200 horsepower. Nope, should have bought the

00:21:16.529 --> 00:21:23.970
1KZ. That would have been sick. Yeah, no, rigs

00:21:23.970 --> 00:21:30.750
and coffee was really fun. Then we came home

00:21:30.750 --> 00:21:34.309
and packed up all our stuff. Yep. That was the

00:21:34.309 --> 00:21:39.089
end of our weekend. Well, I did. You held off

00:21:39.089 --> 00:21:45.089
until nighttime. It was hot, dude. Like, driving

00:21:45.089 --> 00:21:48.289
back in the 4Runner without AC, I realized that

00:21:48.289 --> 00:21:57.980
I need AC in my car. Like, that was awful. But,

00:21:58.200 --> 00:22:01.880
yeah, no, I waited, and I was, like, really tempted

00:22:01.880 --> 00:22:04.700
to be like, I'll just put it away tomorrow. And

00:22:04.700 --> 00:22:06.539
then the weather report came out, and they're

00:22:06.539 --> 00:22:08.799
like, it's going to thunderstorm all day from

00:22:08.799 --> 00:22:13.880
5 a .m. to, like, 10. And I'm like, fuck. So

00:22:13.880 --> 00:22:16.680
I went and put it away. Did it even start early

00:22:16.680 --> 00:22:19.119
for you guys Monday? Because it did not rain

00:22:19.119 --> 00:22:21.950
until, like. new or something for us it started

00:22:21.950 --> 00:22:24.950
storming for us at like 11 30 like it rained

00:22:24.950 --> 00:22:27.809
a little here and there but it didn't start storming

00:22:27.809 --> 00:22:32.509
till 11 30 um then i ended up my power went out

00:22:32.509 --> 00:22:35.750
i was getting ready to go to my mom's and i'd

00:22:35.750 --> 00:22:37.609
sent the guys home early because we couldn't

00:22:37.609 --> 00:22:42.289
do anything it was storming so bad um so then

00:22:42.289 --> 00:22:43.849
i was getting ready to go to my mom's and the

00:22:43.849 --> 00:22:46.869
power just went out and i'm like fuck now i gotta

00:22:46.869 --> 00:22:48.890
sit here and wait for the power to come back

00:22:48.890 --> 00:22:52.180
on so i went and i started the generator all

00:22:52.180 --> 00:22:54.220
the curtains had dropped because the power went

00:22:54.220 --> 00:22:55.900
out and that's just what happened so i had to

00:22:55.900 --> 00:22:59.240
crank all those back into place in the downpour

00:22:59.240 --> 00:23:04.740
then oh god i what happened what ended up happening

00:23:04.740 --> 00:23:07.339
was we had lightning strike a tree that tree

00:23:07.339 --> 00:23:09.640
then you know did what trees do when they get

00:23:09.640 --> 00:23:13.200
struck by lightning art exploded and then tipped

00:23:13.200 --> 00:23:15.299
over on the power line and took the power line

00:23:15.299 --> 00:23:20.650
out So I lost one leg of power at the farm, which

00:23:20.650 --> 00:23:22.650
you'd think, oh, it's a three -phase system.

00:23:22.750 --> 00:23:25.250
It should be fine. No. When I lose a phase, I

00:23:25.250 --> 00:23:28.150
lose fans. Everything else stays operational,

00:23:28.410 --> 00:23:32.130
but I lose the fans. And that's what keeps turkeys

00:23:32.130 --> 00:23:37.789
alive. So then I got the power back on, cranked

00:23:37.789 --> 00:23:43.079
all the curtains up, and there were... 10 fans

00:23:43.079 --> 00:23:45.660
that wouldn't come back on because they all had

00:23:45.660 --> 00:23:49.160
overloaded their breaker well i've never had

00:23:49.160 --> 00:23:52.059
that happen before and i didn't know where the

00:23:52.059 --> 00:23:54.299
breaker was so i just put those turkeys in curtain

00:23:54.299 --> 00:23:57.619
and put the curtains all the way down um yeah

00:23:57.619 --> 00:23:59.740
six years i'm still learning things apparently

00:23:59.740 --> 00:24:07.259
so then uh this morning uh first thing i did

00:24:07.259 --> 00:24:10.380
at work after i did all my usual morning stuff

00:24:10.380 --> 00:24:13.319
was I went and just traced wires. So I found

00:24:13.319 --> 00:24:15.799
where those breakers were hidden, which was inside

00:24:15.799 --> 00:24:20.400
a bolted panel. So I had to unbolt the cover

00:24:20.400 --> 00:24:25.599
to get to the breakers to turn the fans back

00:24:25.599 --> 00:24:31.119
on. Doesn't that seem like a crappy bolted, right?

00:24:33.059 --> 00:24:35.880
Like I'm back there checking fuses and I'm like,

00:24:35.900 --> 00:24:38.880
that doesn't make sense. And like, it's not a

00:24:38.880 --> 00:24:44.039
normal breaker panel. No, it's bolted shut. And

00:24:44.039 --> 00:24:45.839
they're not normal breakers either. They're like

00:24:45.839 --> 00:24:50.559
these weird GFCI, like little tiny GFCI modules

00:24:50.559 --> 00:24:54.500
that have a reset and a start reset and test

00:24:54.500 --> 00:24:59.500
button. Huh? Dude, it was weird. Still, I would

00:24:59.500 --> 00:25:01.720
think you have like an access panel or something,

00:25:01.799 --> 00:25:04.259
not just bolted. Well, and I called my boss and

00:25:04.259 --> 00:25:06.980
asked him about it. And he goes. Oh, yeah, I

00:25:06.980 --> 00:25:10.000
have no idea where those are, and I'm like, cool.

00:25:10.319 --> 00:25:15.480
Oh, great. Sounds good. I guess I'll do my treasure

00:25:15.480 --> 00:25:18.220
hunt for the rest of the day. So, got it all

00:25:18.220 --> 00:25:21.099
working now. Those turkeys actually leave tomorrow,

00:25:21.200 --> 00:25:24.740
which is going to be dope, because I'm sick and

00:25:24.740 --> 00:25:28.579
tired of dealing with them. These are ones that

00:25:28.579 --> 00:25:31.099
got sick when they were babies, and they've just

00:25:31.099 --> 00:25:37.359
been a pain in my side ever since. Yeah, that

00:25:37.359 --> 00:25:44.880
was my week up to now. You know, I realize because

00:25:44.880 --> 00:25:47.119
we record these on Tuesday and they don't come

00:25:47.119 --> 00:25:50.759
out until Friday, the listeners generally miss

00:25:50.759 --> 00:25:54.160
Tuesday through Friday of what we've been doing.

00:25:54.200 --> 00:25:56.799
So we're not allowed to do anything fun Tuesday

00:25:56.799 --> 00:26:04.680
through Friday. Yeah. usually don't anyway because

00:26:04.680 --> 00:26:07.880
we're working so yeah working then i come home

00:26:07.880 --> 00:26:09.900
