So you made it to Michigan? Made it.

Actually, I had a schedule.

Yeah.

So what happened to your truck?

You said you're getting three miles to a gallon?

Yeah, it's, you know what?

That's what you get for driving a 16-year-old bird with an 8-1 in it.

No, usually we get about six.

Here's the deal is I rented a couple of diesel pickups there for about four years, and I only got about 10 miles a gallon. And you know what? I got a good buy on this thing a few years ago, and it's been a great vehicle. It tows great, actually. Usually I get about six, like I say, but we had a lot of mechanical issues that didn't

get resolved right before we left for PA. So yeah, we literally cost us $1,000 in fuel to go

a thousand miles. Oh, shit. And then halfway back, we dropped the trailer in Michigan because we had to

come back for this show in a few days. So at least we got a little better mileage and we got the vehicle fixed. So we're back up to six miles of the gallon. Yeah, we're making all kinds of money here now. What was going on? Actually, it ended up being a crankshaft sensor, but I headed into the dealer, into different mechanics mechanics they were doing all kinds of tests on it replacing coils I did that

actually out on the road replace all the spark plugs you know spark plug wires all

that and you know how it is like oh we'll plug this into our computer and it'll

tell us exactly what's wrong no it won't it'll tell you this part that part

that part and then the end you'll never tell you what you need. You just got to buy about 18 parts before you finally get the right one. Oh, you can't return all those parts either. Yeah, I'm amazed by the amount of vehicle repairs that you guys, like were you mechanically inclined before you started this? Did you work in the... I grew up on a farm, so it's like kind of one of deals.

Everything's always broken.

You're changing wheelberries, whatever. You just figuring out as you go. But, you know, here's the deal is I spent so much money into my burb the last two years. I could own a, you know, brand new truck, at least a monthly payments throughout the year and not actually go out and buy one but it's like sometimes I scratch my head like why don't I just go get a new

truck but I'm just kind of like you you know, resistant that, you know, I like to kick

as much money back into, you know, like all our camera equipment. And I mean, I'll spend $30,000
