WE.ARE.SO.BACK.

0:00 All right, this this is Walt.

0:01 Do me a favor here so you can see that.

0:03 This photo is a recreation of the original which is

0:05 me carrying firewood up the steps of my grandfather's old home.

0:09 Drove that truck to my grandfather's house, parked it and took the same photo.

0:12 We made a whole video about it.

0:13 It was It was a time.

0:14 If you need the context, I've linked it at the end of this video.

0:17 One of the most exciting things at the beginning of every

0:19 spring and I think about it all winter long is one,

0:22 yes, getting outside to make content again, take photos and make videos,

0:25 but using my 1977 F-100 stepside to do so.

0:30 Because by this point,

0:31 it's been sitting for 6 months and who knows what could be wrong with it.

0:35 It is such a pivotal piece of content and kit and gear for me

0:39 throughout the warmer months that I simply must make sure that it's okay.

0:43 And friends, the day has come.

0:47 I'll push from the back because well, look, I can.

0:52 You ready?

0:52 Yep.

0:53 I'll tell you when to turn like you turn early.

0:55 Right.

0:57 There's another dent.

1:01 Do you want to talk to her later?

1:06 With that quarter of fuel,

1:07 we'll give back 45 cents of tax to the government, no?

1:11 For the viewers, that way you don't have to blur that out.

1:14 That's $107, dude.

1:17 For 3 gallons?

1:18 48 liters.

1:21 All right, it I think it's finally spring now.

1:24 There's a warm breeze.

1:25 It's 16°.

1:26 I keep saying that and every time I say it on a video, it snows the next day.

1:31 But this this feels like it might actually be here.

1:34 The nice cars are coming out,

1:36 the motorcycles are coming out, and Walt's is coming out.

1:39 And Walt is my 1977 F-100 stepside.

1:43 And when I start driving Walt, that is an absolute marker of spring.

1:47 But one of the things I have to do before

1:49 I swear I swear this this train crushes me every day.

1:53 Like a hundred times a day.

1:59 I don't like driving it around after it's been sitting for 6 months,

2:02 especially if I got my kids in it without getting a proper tune-up.

2:05 And there's only one man that can do that.

2:22 How's the image stabilization?

2:45 Yikes.

2:52 It's been that long.

2:53 It's perfect.

2:54 Perfect intro clip.

2:55 Tell me I'm wrong.

2:56 Well, it is.

2:56 What do you call that thing at the beginning?

2:58 You call your fingernail.

2:59 You put that as a fingernail with my lips attached to your

3:01 The thumbnail, the thumbnail.

3:02 Yeah.

3:03 Why isn't it your thumb?

3:04 I think it needs an oil change, likely.

3:06 Minute lube down the road.

3:07 Okay.

3:08 I bought my Canada hat, see it?

3:09 And it was It was signed by a hockey dude.

3:11 I don't remember who.

3:12 I think it was Doug Gilmour.

3:14 Yeah.

3:14 Number 93?

3:15 How do you know that?

3:16 I watch hockey.

3:17 I kind of think if you're Canadian,

3:19 you you kind of have to know what number Doug Gilmour I don't watch

3:21 hockey because it's just a bunch of men that are overpaid and walk Holy!

3:25 Being golden color means the air-fuel mixture is just wonderful.

3:29 I'm sure your viewers really give a crap.

3:31 I think if you could check oil,

3:32 maybe just double-check the linkage just to make sure you did it right.

3:35 That's a you problem.

3:37 No gas getting into it.

3:38 Well, you can tell.

3:39 Yeah, I believe it.

3:40 If it took that little to kill me, just let me go.

3:42 I'd be dead long ago, eh?

3:44 With the amount of crap I've ingested working on crappy old vehicles.

3:48 But you'll never talk me into an iPhone

3:49 device because I can't be a prisoner of Apple.

3:52 I got a 67-year contract with uh Bell Canada for my phone payments.

3:56 So I keep getting new ones.

3:57 So they just charge me $60 a month until I'm 104.

4:00 Then I'll finally have my last phone paid off.

4:05 That's what happens when Walt's misbehaving.

4:07 Usually after a night has gone by or several hours has gone

4:11 by or I'm at work and I go back to get in my truck after, that's what happens.

4:14 It can get started, but it's usually usually fighting it.

4:17 Starting it mate?

4:18 No.

4:32 Oh, wait a minute.

4:33 We go through the gas station, huh?

4:35 And what we will do is we will pay

4:36 a dollar ninety for a quarter of fuel or more.

4:40 And then with that quarter of fuel,

4:42 we'll give back 45 cents of tax to the government, no?

4:45 And they will put that towards very worthy things.

4:48 Is that cuz of the mustache, huh?

4:50 That's very French.

4:51 Can I run over some garbage bags with your truck?

4:53 The neighbors put their garbage out.

4:58 You don't drive them like this.

4:59 I sometimes I do like the sound of the of the air.

5:03 Oh.

5:10 Sweet.

5:14 You shouldn't take that.

5:16 Uh it's your truck, your plates, buddy.

5:18 Nope, they're not mine.

5:23 Now it's evidence.

5:26 Do you want to talk to her later?

5:29 Oh.

5:29 Nothing to see here.

5:30 Nothing to see.

5:39 There's no pile in there.

5:40 I think that's what the French call it.

5:41 Your super sweet pipes will turn the steering wheel?

5:43 Yep.

5:44 Right?

5:45 Don't worry about the horn.

5:47 I'll push from the back because well, look, I can.

5:52 You ready?

5:52 Yep.

5:53 I'll tell you when to turn like you turn early.

5:55 Take a look at the side of the garage.

5:56 See how many times I turned late, turned early?

5:58 See the little Do you trim?

6:00 I see it.

6:01 Yeah.

6:01 Just follow instructions, mechanic.

6:04 All right, maybe I should have chosen a different spot.

6:07 Turn.

6:08 Oh, yeah.

6:09 Here we go.

6:10 Who's your daddy?

6:11 Crank it.

6:12 Oh, yeah.

6:13 Scrape you off.

6:14 All right.

6:16 There's another dent.

6:16 In the exact same spot.

6:18 No kidding.

6:18 It's cuz I keep doing that.

6:20 That's Mustang, no.

6:22 Willy's and then the side-by-side or the wheel or something.

6:25 But A little bit of a pattern.

6:28 Yeah, so it's the drinking and driving, I think.

6:30 That's what it is.

6:30 Drinking and pushing, I don't know.

6:32 Do I want to do the mirrors still?

6:33 I don't like the mirrors.

6:34 I want like the actual mirrors that were that would have been on it.

6:37 I love drilling holes in trucks.

6:39 I love it.

6:40 Yeah.

6:40 I'll drill some more.

6:41 Can you still get them?

6:42 Oh, yeah.

6:42 It's only money.

6:43 What's your Visa card?

6:45 You We used that at the gas station.

6:46 If you just cough her up, I'll get you whatever you need.

6:48 yeah, you can just have it.

6:49 E-transfer.

6:50 Yeah.

6:51 E-transfer at howr.com.

6:52 I think mirrors.

6:53 Mirrors for sure.

6:54 Like these side mirrors are scum.

6:55 They're tiny little I hate them.

6:57 Start a GoFundMe for the mirrors.

6:59 Should we do that?

7:00 Cuz they could be expensive.

7:01 Like Like it's just Who would have made this choice?

7:04 It's for people that like to drive fast.

7:06 Low wind resistance.

7:07 Really?

7:07 Somewhat like my ears.

7:09 See how close to my head they are?

7:10 I can run really quickly like Ben Johnson,

7:12 but different cuz I didn't take steroids.

7:15 But we can get the big farmer mirrors.

7:17 Is that what you want?

7:17 Like the ones that came off?

7:18 Yeah, yeah.

7:19 And they come down and they're Yeah.

7:21 Yeah, way better, dude.
