Hey Smitty. I not only love your vids I love your love for your dogs. I'm not a trucker but I was a long distance bus operator. I traveled in and out of most of the states you post in and out of but carried precious cargo, humans. I started when I lived in Massachusetts and carried mostly seniors across country on anywhere from 2 day to 6 week trips. Back then we had no GPS and I had to use maps. Imagine that, maps lol. I did it for about 10 years then went to line runs. Even with my precious cargo I still got tired after awhile and was very tired of being away from home. Would I ever give up those days? Not a chance. 46 states, hundreds of cities thousands of wonderful people, many whom I still remember today, 30 years later. You remind me of me, personality wise and love for animals. My best wishes to you and please keep up the good work and blogs. Take care, Mark Vinette, now a Florida resident
Wow, my husband wouldn't do a flower bed for me. He'd just soon cut them down. He doesn't touch anything that's growing.😂😂. It will be nice when you get finished with it❤❤❤. Nice video Kurt and family.🎉🎉.
When we were first married and had a nice sized yard. I planted vegetables towards the back of the yard . My husband was cutting the grass he went over everything and destroyed my plants I was quite upset
Same problem herein California with the lumber. I even had a clerk step up and tell me I cannot sort the lumber, he won’t do that again I don’t think. I told HIM to sort and what to look out for. He wasn’t happy. This is the same store that ran out of sacks of concrete on the aisle. They told me they would get some more down with the fork lift, waited 15 minutes, no fork lift. Wandered around and found a bundled order going out the next day with about 20 bags. I tore the plastic wrap off and helped myself to the bags of concrete, told the clerk on my way out to replace them on the order when they get the pallet down off the top shelf. He was a little pissed. I did not care! Seems a though things change when you replace the word “we” with the word “you” in regards to the purchase of the tux. LOL Stay safe!
You take the same approach to landscaping that my husband does. That's why I just spent the last two hours weeding my large front bed. If you get the weed centered, it's just going to grow the other direction. You make a good compactor. God bless.
Good to see you take a few days off, why no work is odd though. My wife and I came across your channel a week ago, we subscribed. Keep on truckin!😊 From new friends on a small farm near Maquoketa, Iowa.
Yep I understand the flowerbed deal. I am the same way only it is ornaments and those stupid curled things that hold bird feeders. We have trees to put feeders in but no we need those post for me to mow around. Oh well such is life. Enjoy your work week lol. Tell those kids to be safe after prom and have a great time. God Bless your wonderful family.
You guys don’t have subterranean termites do you? Our termite and bug guy said leave a clear zone so you can see foundation cement so you can easily inspect when you want. (And when they want) We put a spacer to keep dirt off cement and house/garage/ shed etc. we have to clear it out now and then because skunks, loose cats etc will root around planters and kick dirt and bark over the barrier.
Spring has sprung ,love is in the air and so are the killer tomatoes(tornadoes). Graduations, Parties and Proms. Hope all of your family plans 🙏🏼 ❤️ 💕 ♥️, are beautiful.😊
I like beards, gray hair does its own thing specially when is windy, the shorter the more manageable I'm sure you may have seen it, cardboard that piles up taking space can be hosed down and gets very tiny and easy to handle and fold down and dispose into the recycling bin You're a hard working Dad and "Honey doer" 😁 Have a good day 🌷🌿
A few years back….during January-February it was minus 30 to minus 40 like everyday. So I parked my truck and trailer….left it idling refilled said truck several times never moved further than that. Shop where I parked never left the truckstop (they did not need to-they were busy just fixing jelled up trucks and jumpstarts). Weather finally broke I went back to work. Best not working idea I’ve had in a loooong time.
HA ! You mentioned Maynard's for nasty stick ! Used to haul bunks of cheep stick for the Eau Claire DC way back in the mid 90's-picked them up in some pretty sketchy-for the day anyway-in railyards in & around Chicago. Bunks sitting in puddles, etc.
I've been riding with you for a while now, but today I lost it, when you where going from I-65 to Iowa. I drove for a few years, I owned my own and drive for a company. I had to load in Chicago with a dry box for General Mills. I never went to Chicago if I did not have too. Sending you a e-mail for a good route. Going from I 65 to west
Or you and wife could have a yard like my dad Hw has stone and flowers front and back but he put in his deck was all brick. An rest has flowers over the rest of the yard.
Many many moons ago, I remember my one of my Proms. I think it was the senior prom. I rented a light blue jacket and black pants and all the trim. I was sharp that night. Shoes shined so you could see your face in them. Kids don't know how to shine shoes these day. They look stupid wearing tennis shoe with a Tux. Later on that evening while dancing on the big dance floor with a huge crowd, I made a wrong move and split the A out of my pants. The rest of the evening I had my jacket tied around my waste. So, no matter how the tux looks, most likely is it old as hell and been used many many times. lol
Whoever installed the siding on the garage put it on backwards. When you look at it the seems all show. Started in front overlapped back. If they started in back and overlapped to the front the seems wouldn't be visible from the house. Not hatin, just Staten..
The ending segment with you tamping the grass seed down sped up reminded me of the old show Laugh In. Too bad you didn't add that music to the scene. hahahahahahahahaha
Your gonna make somebody a hell of a wife someday doing flower beds and other curios (just kidding) Does Opie and Jax have a agent?? Your working them kinda hard. Do they get time and a half after 40?? Your daughter and son. What kinda of money are they mak’n?? We need to talk guys.
Your dogs if not already from years of eating hamburger without the fat boiled out has pancreatitis, throwing up bile, in pain, loose stool but subscribers have already told you that and you refuse to listen.

Take care, Mark Vinette, now a Florida resident
Sometimes you make more money by not moving. Wear and tear, fuel and the chance of an accident are all avoided if rates are below your cost.
I got tickled watching you packing the dirt, especially when you put it in fast motion. That was good. Take care cause your fans care…🤓
Wow, my husband wouldn't do a flower bed for me. He'd just soon cut them down. He doesn't touch anything that's growing.😂😂. It will be nice when you get finished with it❤❤❤. Nice video Kurt and family.🎉🎉.
Watching you pack down the grass seed gave me a good laugh. I needed that laugh. Been a rough couple of months
Bad beard day? Lol 😂 Best one I’ve heard in a long time Kurt. Whiskers don’t want to cooperate 💁♂️👌
😂😂😂.
When we were first married and had a nice sized yard. I planted vegetables towards the back of the yard .
My husband was cutting the grass he went over everything and destroyed my plants I was quite upset
I would be too.
You could throw cut grass on your seeding area.
Good idea
We have the exact same lawnmowers. I’m old - these are the things I notice.
THANKS
Used to be a truck salvage yard outside of Topeka on way to st Joe buy a used grill
I thought I heard Benny Hill music when Kurt was packing the dirt lol!
0:15 That Midland Trailer is a few miles from Home.. Dieppe New Brunswick..

That's not a tiller that's a gas powered back scratcher!

Perfect
After driving hundreds of miles, you have an amazing amount of energy.

Where is that “love is in the air” at I might need to visit🤷♀️😜
Stop by Vander Haggs just south of Council Bluffs to find a grill for your truck.
Kurt i must say nice job on the yard work!! Give yourself one "Atta Boy"!!😅
Another great day to hang out with Kurt. 😎
I like beards, gray hair does its own thing specially when is windy, the shorter the more manageable
I'm sure you may have seen it, cardboard that piles up taking space can be hosed down and gets very tiny and easy to handle and fold down and dispose into the recycling bin
You're a hard working Dad and "Honey doer" 😁

I must of missed the episodes were you put up the garage. Did you do the siding and windows? It looks really good! Very professionally well done.
Hi Kurt and Opie
HA ! You mentioned Maynard's for nasty stick ! Used to haul bunks of cheep stick for the Eau Claire DC way back in the mid 90's-picked them up in some pretty sketchy-for the day anyway-in railyards in & around Chicago. Bunks sitting in puddles, etc.
Yes it’s time , of the year and time for the garden, opie looks happy to be with you be safe, and great adventure today thanks
I've been riding with you for a while now, but today I lost it, when you where going from I-65 to Iowa. I drove for a few years, I owned my own and drive for a company.

Landscape timber flower boxes against a structure. Bring on the termites👍
Kurt you’re doing a great job with those flower beds. Sarah’s a lucky lady! 🌷🌸🌺
Its that time of the year mowing, trimming, sewing grass seed and hang in there it will get better for you soon
Hang in there Schmidt!
Best trucking video even. Love my hometime
Now Schmidt you need to get Opie's approval along with Jax with all that yard work ya doing there😊
Someone out there will truck it for free so don’t worry.
Careful with those e-bikes - battery fires are an issue
Hey SCHIMDT. All men have a one of these days 📝 I'll get to it. Have a good day SCHIMDT. 🚛
Stop with the gardening. My mowers in the shop and I have withdrawal symptoms because I can't stripe the lawn. lol
Or you and wife could have a yard like my dad Hw has stone and flowers front and back but he put in his deck was all brick. An rest has flowers over the rest of the yard.
Many many moons ago, I remember my one of my Proms. I think it was the senior prom. I rented a light blue jacket and black pants and all the trim. I was sharp that night. Shoes shined so you could see your face in them. Kids don't know how to shine shoes these day. They look stupid wearing tennis shoe with a Tux. Later on that evening while dancing on the big dance floor with a huge crowd, I made a wrong move and split the A out of my pants. The rest of the evening I had my jacket tied around my waste. So, no matter how the tux looks, most likely is it old as hell and been used many many times. lol
My last trip to get lumber the straightes piece of wood was the pencil ✏️
Big man with a tiny tiller. Tossing that thing around like a rag doll
Mite want to rethink having that dirt up against the siding of the garage, it will damage it over time.
Enjoyed the video again.
With the shop slab on grade and you building flower beds next to it, you are asking for water damage. JS
Coke and aluminum foil will clean your rusty chrome without scratching. Just crunch up the foil and dip it in the cola and rub away the rust
Hay Kurt
Wow 300 to rent a tux. Crazy.
I’d use SOD🤔
I would rent a mini-skidsteer with a bucket, much easier & faster.❤
Kurt, I don't see how you can fit in the back seat of a Jeep.
Whoever installed the siding on the garage put it on backwards. When you look at it the seems all show. Started in front overlapped back. If they started in back and overlapped to the front the seems wouldn't be visible from the house. Not hatin, just Staten..
Why the towel over the shifter?
Looks nice though.
Aren't you going to stake those post down?
The ending segment with you tamping the grass seed down sped up reminded me of the old show Laugh In. Too bad you didn't add that music to the scene. hahahahahahahahaha
Lol when you were packing in fast motion it reminded me of pacman😂
They get it from Arkansas
Kurt, you're supposed to let the tiller do the work. It's not a weed eater. >D
The ground was so hard
I got a shirt just like the one your wearing
McDonald's. Hard to come by some decent/ healthy food sometimes.
Oh oh oh No work is slow now this month
Ok, Blue towel gone🤷♂️
lol u look like pac - man doing that
When you going to color your beard in with the dye for men?
it is not the beard dude
LOL ☮☮🍁🍁
Your gonna make somebody a hell of a wife someday doing flower beds and other curios (just kidding) Does Opie and Jax have a agent?? Your working them kinda hard. Do they get time and a half after 40?? Your daughter and son. What kinda of money are they mak’n?? We need to talk guys.
That young man needs hair cut worse than a tuxedo
Your dogs if not already from years of eating hamburger without the fat boiled out has pancreatitis, throwing up bile, in pain, loose stool but subscribers have already told you that and you refuse to listen.
