    A bit gobsmacked with this one. The thought process that you are employing in putting these videos together is evolving at an impressive pace. Had a good laugh when you were apologising for skirting around the explanation of "long night hours". Didn't see that one coming. These videos cannot be the easiest to produce as this creative process gets incorporated into your work day so I can only think of the tightrope you must try and navigate in terms of balancing it with the job. I certainly appreciate you taking the time, and judging by the raft of comments preceeding this one, I don't think I am alone on this connotation. Thanks mate and take care.

The best part too as someone commented in one of the other videos, they're 'family friendly' viewing too for all audiences👍👍

    Tonight (Monday 3rd) I went for my usual after dinner walk in Wagga Wagga. So down the hill to the Wagga Base Hospital and turn right at Hammond St (Sturt Highway). In the next six blocks including the roadworks, three Lindsay B-doubles from Adelaide passed me on their way to Sydney I suppose. I'm thinking, "I wonder if The homeless trucky is driving one of these?" Problem was, the trucks pass quickly and I don't know the number of your prime mover. As it turns out, you did not go through here are way north!
