When your videos are honored, the thumbs will automatically go up because viewers like them. It's OK, if there is sometimes a bad one in between. That's not bad at all! Don't lose any sleep about it. Try to be satisfied with the responses you receive. As far as I can see, the Lord has blessed you richly in this life.

Can you invite us to a Family Gathering. Along with your Family you must have a huge employee pool. I see your kids doing a lot of Farming with you. Do they have 20-30 cousins working other parts of Farm. Do you live and work on the farm. Is it spread over 5 counties.

Fat cat air compressor job is not so terrible I've done a bunch of Cummins and they're just so awful because of the injection pump being on the back of a air compressor you can't pull the compressor with the fuel pump still attached to the end of it you got to have a wrench bent a certain way with a little notch cut in it because of one of the webs in the Cummins engine block hampers movement of the wrench
