My husband, James, got my extended side covers for KITT from Advanblack, one of my favorite aftermarket go-to sites! They color match all OEM colors and make modern and relevant bike mods for Harley Davidson and Indian Motorcycles. I hope you enjoy todays vid...

Finally got this video up and out! Hope you enjoy and that it was worth the wait! This week, I review the Leaf by Oscar corojo cigar - this line of cigars is truly a delight and while I generally choose the sumatra leaf choice, I do love a good corojo and was excited to try this one.

Our motorcycle trip to Myrtle Beach
มุมมอง 1.1K5 หลายเดือนก่อน
Ride along with James and I as we take our motorcyles, KITT and Maggie, to Myrtle Beach to spend a long weekend with friends and do some sightseeing. I wish I could have gotten more footage on the way home, as we got caught in about 2 hrs of rain - even with rain gear on, we still had to pull over several times to dry off and wipe down our foggy glasses. We made it home safe though and had an a...
Smoking with Eli: Red Meat Lovers by Dunbarton Tobacco & Trust
มุมมอง 2K5 หลายเดือนก่อน
One of my top 3 cigars, the Red Meat Lovers is a hearty and savory choice, even if you are a plant based diet person.. I love the richness in this cigar and the flavor really packs a punch, without being overbearing.. You should give it a try and let me know what you think! I also go over some fun slang cigar terms, some you may know and perhaps some new ones for you too. for donations: Venmo: ...
Starting our home build with Superior Walls

James and I are finally underway with our home build and we knew we couldn’t do it without using Superior Walls for our basement/my garage area. In this video, I will bring you along as we have these amazing prefab walls installed. You will notice too, quite a few references to #eli’sgarage - that is because James likes to think that the lower garage will be his… This is not so.. He and my daug...

Gotta love the beeping while you're walking backwards 😁
Shut the truck off! Gees!!!
If you're going to be on the road all the time it's best to be comfortable. Otherwise it's a miserable experience. Good luck with it.
King pins is the problem
i would have loved to been there with you all
Your new truck name can be Snowbandit ❤
hello im a driver also i seen this video u said u was coming to bowling green ky im looking for a good company to drive for im a hour from bowling green by the way
we are a very small company out of Chattanooga tn. we get up to ky on some runs but would not be likely to hire outside of chattanooga area.. if they keep growing tho over the next couple years, who knows? :)
you got powered mirrors in 2013 truck? my grandads scania in 80s had that, what is wrong with american trucks. also that trucks looks like from 1995 not 2013
I do have power mirrors, yes.. and yes it is a 2013, fully vetted... :)
b!tch sounds nasty! yuck
which bitch are u referring to?
@@being_eli suck it!
nice truck bad on fuel
none of them get great fuel mileage.. this one is averaging around 7 mpg, which isn't great, but for the weight of loads we carry, I will take it..
Dam girl, you are a ruff neck. Love you vybe. I'm I truk drive too . I have the 2025 coronado
lol, thank u! there isn't much that I won't get into, that's for sure.. and, do u love the 25?? what all have they added to the new ones?
Is yours a manual or automatic?
10 Spd manual. wish it had a 13 spd...
I’ve always had trucks with both sets of curtains. Really nice having the front wrap around ones cause gain that extra space up front. And the middle big curtain is nice cause I’ll hang the beach towel I use for showers from it to help it dry and the towel dubs as a nice quick and easy privacy curtain when you’re doing your 30 minute break or need to change real quick if you get all dirty and muggy working outside.
ok now that is a good idea, the towel hanger!!! haven't heard that one before and I like it!
@ just use clips like you’d use to hang stuff on the fridge or close potato chip bags, hang it up to dry and also makes a halfway decent privacy curtain for quick use. Then you can also have the curtains closed on those cold nights to insulate the bunk more. It’s a trifecta of good uses!
absolutely great ideas!
For the Coronado, should be named Cori, Cora, Corey, Carrie, Cari, or Carey.
I like those, especially Cora! may call her that too - I have been calling her Sugar, because she is white and she is a glider.. soooo.. yah kinda cheesy... may have to swap to Cora..... ty!
Looks like yall are mighty close to the neighbors?
we are in a neighborhood yes.. there is a black house that got built beside us but their garage is on our main garage side so we don't see them much - however they are wonderful people - we got lucky - so when we do see them it is a pleasure.. our lot is about an acre, and most of the lots here are at least an acre.. where we got super lucky is that the lot on the other side of us belongs to the next house down (they bought 3) so there will never be another house on that side of us and it makes our lot look even bigger.. they are also wonderful people as are all the neighbors we have met so far.. we only have one "Karen" that lives here and thankfully none of us have to deal with her too much
✅
Hope you're doing well! The holidays are a crazy time of year. Hopefully you've had time for yourself and relaxation! Can't wait to see more Cigars tossed out the window in 2025!😊 Take care!
Yes! They really are! Looking forward to being back at it soon!
@being_eli It's amazing you just toss it without care lol. I still would ask you for an Ash, as your Autograph 🤣
Seems to me, being an Owner-Operator is not a winning combination..... those trucks require a lot of Expensive maintenance....
that's why I will never be an o/o.. too much hassle, I love my little umbrella of protection I have as a company driver
Sounds to me like you have a power steering pump issue. That's where the heat would most likely be coming from. It's highly doubtful your steering box itself is generating any heat. The worm gear in there barely turns and doesn't generate almost any friction from just going down the road. Additionally, the sudden loss of steering you're describing sounds like a the hydraulic pressure or flow completely stopping - which would almost certainly be caused primarily by a faulty power steering pump.
yup, u are right! once fixed, the truck has run perfectly.. no further issues, thankfully!
In europe we got the same shit with parking problems,no space,pay a lot,dirty showers etc
@@marcelmollema2957 man that stinks! We do have pretty clean facilities overall but the parking situation can be bonkers…
Specialy in germany its a problem to find a parkingplace,even when you drive double with flowers its problematic to change drivers or take a brake
I can only imagine! glad u are out there tho, delivering flowers - I saw so many flowers used when I was in France and Switzerland - I just love how people surround themselves with so much beauty over there!
@being_eli there almost loaded in holland/aalsmeer than most with 2 drivers nonstop delivered,after delivering a 9 or 11 hours brake and load back for holland
how many miles is that one way? sounds like quite a trip!
Nothing to apologize for at all! Hope you and yours have a merry Christmas, a happy new year and so much more!
Merry Christmas to you and your family too, I appreciate it!
@ Thanks! We have reached the portion of the holiday where I all want is a very boozy stout and as many cigars as the weather allows lol
omg yes!! we went out to Cigars Intl last night for an evening of wonderful sticks and beer and whiskey.. it was perfect!
@ brilliant! Had the beer at Christmas celebrations! Cigars come out this weekend
hell ya!! enjoy dear!!!

Hello beautiful 🌹

Congratulations on your CDL little momma and be safe out there on that road
@@EricMatthews-d8u well I have had it 20 yrs and I still consider it an honor 😊

have you been to santa barbara ca
no but I would love to go.. I have been to Santa Monica and Venice, but haven't gotten to travel elsewhere in calli.. however my mother used to live in Carmel, and several other areas.. she loves it there
Don't play music while talking
Should have bought a SCANIA
nope I don't buy any of em.. :)
My only complaint with the Coronado was the leg room in the driver seat. My 38 inch inseam was a bit cramped. The sleepers in those things are awesome plenty of room.
yes even as a short person, I know what you are speaking of! I always found the Petes and the kw to have the best legroom...
Very 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
thank u!!
Truck driving, like taxi driving is totally a hand- to -mouth business?!
That’s a good way to put it, it's definitely a tough industry at times..
That was one thing about trucking you dont have a choice, but to shift in some circumstances or you'll loose momentum when your going uphill!? OMG automatic trany is so boring!!
Yeah, it's all about finding the sweet spot in each situation - that truck did ok in many situations but the computers have just taken over in the new trucks, especially the automatics.. its so sad
very nice truck👍
thank u! I love it!!
