      Ive been telling people this for the last 3 years since i moved to Oklahoma when i first got here i got a job doing flooring. And i was always told we dont work on rainy days mostly because the guy i worked for just like myself hated creating messes to clean especially when we are installing $50,000 worth of Egyptian hand made carpet White,Cream, and light grey outside is is RED Clay dirt. The night before this job we were told hey lets just finish this restaurant job tonight and we will push the carpet job a day or 2 its supposed to "RAIN" we started it at about 11 am mind you we had already done about 90% of the work at a prior date we finally finished at 1:37 am 14.5 hrs later. 7:30 am there's a knock at my door there's the boss just chilling at the door with some smoke and 🍩. Says come with me help me get that carpet to the house ill pay you today. No problem get there and all of a sudden he wants to start the job because the homeowners talked him into it oh it aint gonna rain i lived here over 60 years. They showed him how it said
      💧2% i told him that just means that 2% of the area will get rain there is still 100% chance the rain will fall. He said nah we'll be alright i said yea you say that now until your outside cuttin carpet and starts meanwhile me and my cousin will be rushing carrying the the rest of it inside you just better hope the ankle biters arent outside when it starts because there's gonna be red dirt foot prints everywhere. Well guess what i called it to the T and the rats ran all over EVERY bit of carpet that was installed 4 different flights of stairs in 3 different areas of the house the living room 3 of the 5 bed rooms that we did 2 weren't done yet and 1 office the dining room and a common room. And guess who calles the flooring store complaining about their installer. And then the boss asked from that day forward what i thought about the weather before starting a job if he wasn't sure lmao i just said check the weather

      It had been shipped to Germany and the Azores island and Hawaii but always lived on base and had a scooter to ride back and forth to where he worked or walked .
      He was crazy to let it go.it was like new when he traded it in.He washed and waxed that thing often and I was on that ramcharger that he taught me at like 12 yrs old how to wash wax and shine a vehicle up and I hace done the same to every vehicle I've ever owned. I even keep the engine and the underside of the hood and inside of the fenders .everything under the hood shined and does today on my land rover.
      He taught me that if your paying that much money for a vehicle to make sure you keep it looking new and running great and always keep it serviced.
      I'm 60 and I still do all that inside and out.
      Something to be proud of for sure

    That is spectacular bud, I owned a Ramcharger a couple years back, made a few trips with the family, great memories and I miss it something fierce. Had to part with it. Bunch of hoo-ha, after dad passed we needed to cut some corners to not become homeless. Anyway, I just wanted to thank you for resparking some good memories for me.

    Great video. Makes me wish I still had my 86 Ramcharger (that I bought new). First new vehicle I ever had. Mine was two tone blue with the 360. Probably same carburetor. Always took at least two tries to get it to stay running in the morning. I think they went to TBI in 87 or 88.
    I remember I saw a RC just like this one in 85 and thought I want one.

My Subway order has been the same for over 30 years, Footlong Turkey Sub with mayo, American cheese (it used to be Swiss, but they stopped carrying it for some reason), and all the veggies. Thought I would comment because funny enough I was eating a turkey sub and you asked "whats ur favorite subway sandwich". So there you go lol. Oh and BTW we need more Ezra on the channel lol.
