You do a great job making safe videos for families, but it also is great for working adults. I’m about to be 37, and an industrial mechanic for most of my life now, and your videos are very relatable, just keep pushing through and keep the message at heart. I say it a lot, but I appreciate your videos man. God bless
Hey Jonathan I appreciate the encouragement for sure! Honestly there just isn’t much worth watching or safe to watch on TV. That’s what I like about TH-cam. You kind find channels you like and can trust what’s going to be on there. God Bless
Going forward, get an extra glad hand coupler and install a schrader valve, hook it on to the parking brake circuit, charger with an air bubble or portable tire inflator.
Sometimes, I question my own sanity for starting my own business. Lol. Most days, it's worth it, and some days it's not. Just like everything else in life, we have to suffer through the valleys so we can get up on the mountain tops. I'm glad to hear Larry's surgery went well, and I'll keep praying for continued healing. Nice message Sam, stay safe brother.
Jeff I agree with that. Some days we definitely rough ones. But I still enjoy the work even though days are like that. Larry did good through the surgery but isn’t progressing much since the surgery. They are definitely needing prayers. Thanks
Thanks for the video Sam well done with the burning piles,get that tire fixed also. Take care of yourself and family and friends and Diesel dog 🐕 and be Blessed ❤️❤️.
By the intro I drank my chamomile tea before watching.lol. love Diesel. Prayers for Larry and family. Thanks for the message. I was talking about this same message yesterday. I told her she needs to read and know the word because of false prophets. One such man has an alarm you can wake up to hearing him read. He teaches the more you give the more you get. False Prophet! Grandbabies are the best. Blessings
Yeah maybe I need a cup of that tea before I start a day like this one.🤣 Larry hasn’t made much progress since the surgery. They definitely need prayers. I agree, folks need to be able to spot a false preacher/teacher. Sounds like she needs to get away from that one for sure… God Bless
A really good message today,lots of people just go through the motions and don’ t study and put thought into the word, good fun and realistic video on the grading business! Little Henry looks almost ready to start work ! Thanks for the message and video today!!!
Sam you got through ALL the mess. I tell you if I’m going to struggle and hustle I’ll rather do it for my own business. Btw I ALWAYS revere back to the “word” when I’m being taught- can’t go wrong that way!!!
Sam, We want to take a moment to wish you a very Merry Christmas as we celebrate the birth of our Savior. Your videos have been a source of inspiration and joy throughout the year, and we are grateful for the effort you put into creating them. We especially want to thank you for your willingness to share messages about the Gospel of Jesus Christ at the end of your videos. In a time when many on TH-cam might hesitate, your dedication to this testimony is truly admirable. Your actions are a testament to your commitment to Christ's commandment in Matthew 28:19-20 (NIV): "Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age." Your willingness to carry forth the Gospel is deeply appreciated and serves as a powerful example to viewers. Thank you for your dedication and for sharing such meaningful messages, and we look forward to spending more time with you in 2025, as we begin a new year. May you and your family have a blessed Christmas filled with joy and peace. Warm regards, Mike&Pat
Thank you Mike&Pat and I really appreciate the encouragement and letting me know what the message means to y’all. It’s a blessing to have this platform/ministry to share the message of Christ to folks literally across the world. It’s exciting to think about what the Lord has in store in 2025. I appreciate the support and prayers for the channel. Hoping the message reaches many more in the years to come… Also, thanks for the reading material you sent and I will check that out… God Bless and Merry Christmas
Mr Sam if you move to central west Texas where I am we haven’t had but 1/2” of rain in 7 months lol you won’t have to deal with mud just dust lol loved the video and message! God bless you!
Hey I appreciate that and glad you are enjoying the channel. You are doing it just the way I did. Started the business and I watched a lot of TH-cam to learn how to do the work… Thanks, Sam
Enjoyed this video immensely. However, you did come off looking like a bit of a mud magnet😅. I can sympathize with you. In my career I remember a lot of wet, soggy days. You solution rate for whatever gets thrown your way is impressively high. My younger grandson told me years ago that he and I were buddies, too. My head got so big due to his pronouncement that this Papaw has been wearing adjustable hat expanders. Your message meant a lot to me. Thanks for doing them every week.
What a mess 😂 it never fails though a contractor’s house is the last place a contractor wants to work on We have our new 35 ton tag trailer on the way for the 21 ton and the Kenworth so we’ll let you know how that pulls 😅
Good times, when buying equipment for your company do you like to buy outright ? Buy with loans? Then, new or used a better deal? Thank you for your video as it's entertaining.
I usually like to buy outright to avoid payments but sometimes the price is higher than I’m able to do that. I do use loans and then pay them off as quickly as possible. I like to buy equipment as close to new as I can. The 259 and the 304 I bought new. The rest of the equipment I bought used. Had an old timer diesel mechanic tell me once that I could either make payments or pay him to fix the older stuff. I thought that made a lot of sense. A guy that does his own mechanic work can easily buy older stuff and keep it going. But for me I have to hire that stuff done. Thanks, Sam
I'm not being a smarty but I have D9 cat well 2of them and 2big cat excavators they're all oversized when loading by myself I have magnetic colored markers tall slim markers orange colored that I stick on the side of the trailers so I know where the edges are it will probably help you just a suggestion
Jim I have been using the John MacArthur study Bible for a good while now. It has excellent commentary notes… I know they appreciate the prayers and continue to pray. He hasn’t made good progress since the surgery…
Good question! I generally try to match the verses and the message to something related to the job that I’m doing. Honestly I pray about it and the Lord gives the message. 👍😀
@MarkBarrack Sam's video today reminded me of why I don't work in the winter. And I don't think a customer appreciates what it takes on wet cold frozen days. I'm 66.
Loved the making friends comment. It made me chuckle a bit.
Yeah me too! 🤣👍
Slip sliding away 😂 THANKS FOR SHARING AND THE MESSAGE AWESOME 👌

Great message! Praying for him and his family 🙏. You need some that chert like I put out on the farm. God Bless
Thanks Justus I know they appreciate the prayers!
Yeah bring me some of that stuff…🤣
May God bless his soul and heal his body. Watch over his family and give them strength.
Thank you and continue to pray because his body hasn’t made much progress since the surgery.
Sam this was a great one... I can't imagine how much you deal with it, without any help!
Thanks Aaron! Yeah this, unfortunately, seems to be a normal day around here…🤣🤣🤣
This is a wonderful video ol buddy. Great message aswell!
Sam, I always love your journeys and adventures.. you still get the work done too...
Thanks Aaron! I sure get myself in a mess from time to time…😀👍
@tristardiggin and video tape you stuff, and then the work yourself
Going forward, get an extra glad hand coupler and install a schrader valve, hook it on to the parking brake circuit, charger with an air bubble or portable tire inflator.
Nothing like those grandkids. Got to love them
Jeff that is right! Love that little feller. They are special for sure…
Great video, awesome calendar, and AWESOME MESSAGE!
Thank you Mark! 😀👍

Thank you Brian and that is right for sure! Wow, that was an interesting day for sure.
Ole Henry would love it! 😀👍

Great message and video, you need to put some stone around the building.Todd of digging life 21 might be able to help!
Thanks Kevin. All this equipment and a dump truck to haul rock and I’m too stingy to fix it…🤣
Todd might be a bit costly from NC…🤣🤣🤣
Nice video Sam.
Thank you Harold! 😀👍
@tristardiggin You're Welcome Sam.
You need tires like the ones that dirt perfect has on his mack, his truck has drove through some pretty rough stuff. Thanks for the videos
That’s is right Billy! He has turned that Mack into a billy goat 🐐 🤣🤣🤣

Have a good Holiday Sam.
Thanks Dusty and hope y’all have a merry Christmas
Would be nice if you had some equipment to put a stone pad in to get them trailers out easily
🤣 I was just saying that to a friend. I have all the equipment to do it with but to stingy to do it
Enjoy the word today.
Thank you Susan and glad you enjoyed it! 😀👍
God Bless
You should put rock down around your building. Have a great day be safe
Yes that would be helpful for sure…😀👍
Looks like you have everything but the limestone
Man I forgot how much I love this channel (24 year old business owner 1 year) watching from my girlfriend’s TH-cam.
Hey I appreciate that and glad you are enjoying the channel. You are doing it just the way I did. Started the business and I watched a lot of TH-cam to learn how to do the work…
Thanks,
Sam
@@tristardigginstone gets expensive quick for sure though

God Bless
Diesel wants to go to the rock quarry for some treats.
No doubt! He loves going to the rock quarry…😀👍
If you only had a way to haul some gravel. Enjoyed your video as always.
Yup, 😀👍
It’s good and bad days but mostly good
That’s right for sure.😀👍
What a mess 😂 it never fails though a contractor’s house is the last place a contractor wants to work on

Thanks Cliff that is a good idea…😀👍
Maybe hire Digginlife21 to haul you some road bond. lol
Yeah no doubt! That might be an expensive load of road bond from NC…🤣🤣🤣
Hi Sam
Hello Niklas!😀👍

Howdy Tugboat😀👍
Tell us what study Bible you use. Praying for your friend brother 🙏
Jim I have been using the John MacArthur study Bible for a good while now. It has excellent commentary notes…
I know they appreciate the prayers and continue to pray. He hasn’t made good progress since the surgery…
i hope godispaying your bills
Yup, He takes good care of us! 😀👍
My question is why didn't you hook the truck that is going to pull the trailer to it before you did such a crazy thing.
The truck would have gotten stuck…👍
How do u know where and what to read from the Bible every video or day ? U just open and read ?
Good question! I generally try to match the verses and the message to something related to the job that I’m doing. Honestly I pray about it and the Lord gives the message. 👍😀
Took me 40 years to start my excavation business.
😀👍 Some days are good and some are not so good…🤣
@tristardiggin Sam I close on Thanksgiving Day and reopen March 1st. Snowbird to Florida to stay in shape.
@JohnVanMeter58 That is a good plan and what we are hoping to do at some point…😀👍
We finished last week. Usually get back at it March 1st. I might pick and choose a project to work onn
@MarkBarrack Sam's video today reminded me of why I don't work in the winter. And I don't think a customer appreciates what it takes on wet cold frozen days. I'm 66.
I would of thought you had too much tongue weight like this ? @18:27
Probably could have been a little further back…
@@tristardiggin Does it even matter on a dump truck ? Just curious..
