You’re always so calm driving into trouble. Much respect. My father drove for 30 years and I have to wonder if he was a badass as well. He must have been to drive for that long. Thanks for all you guys do for us.

Love the Gilligan's Island reference at the beginning. Years ago while traveling East on I10 a few miles West of Houston I ran into one if these storms. The lightning was so intense and frequent my eyes couldn't recover fast enough between flashes and I had to pull over and ride it out. Sounded like a good idea at the time until I realized where I stopped was flooding and water was pooling rapidly.

Nice to hear Grand Junction named randomly as this is the first video of yours I have watched. I was actually born and raised there for 13 years before the family moved to Phoenix, AZ. It's nice to go home every once in a while. I love it there but not great for job selection. I see you have a more recent video with Grand Junction, will definitely check that one out too.

Mountain Man Mike, I really enjoy your videos, you bring to your viewers your view from the driver's seat, trucking along highways, some of which I have traversed, and some which I have not. You give me inspiration to do some of those I have not. Keep up the good work, not only with your real job, but also with these great videos. Love you, man! "Keep On Truckin', Baby!" (Eddie Kendricks, 1975 or so) PS: get that crack in your windshield fixed! Probably the least of your worries.
