got the oil changed over in franklin kentucky we're in bowling green kentucky near the corvette factory um i got the oil changed and down there at speedco he was having a hard time getting this is the old fuel oil filler cap he was having a hard time getting at the seal closed so i came over here this is kenworth and they didn't have one but luckily there's an international dealer right next door so they got one so let's see if this fits before i uh pull the tag off let me see if i can tighten that up hang on a second do not get too dirty here yeah that's good all right that is good right there so i'm gonna go ahead and cut that tag off there we go make sure it's clearance make sure it doesn't hit the fan looks good it's a little windy out here we got about uh from right here oh about 400 miles or so that we're gonna go for today here since i got you guys you haven't seen this tarp job so it looks good everything looks good i had a comment a question why i put the wood on the back and on the front and why don't i tuck it uh tuck the tarp now i could tuck the tarp but i have just found that doing this and i know it kind of maybe looks like the lazy way but i found doing this just seems to hold the tarp down a lot better so that is one of the main reasons i put that wood dish just to hold it tarp down it keeps it nice and tight it doesn't seem to blow up but there's some guys there real some guys are good they'll tuck it under there looks beautiful me i'm not that good at tucking it under there like that all right let's close her up and get going [Music] all right

yesterday it's windy yesterday i talked about why i put the wood on here to help hold the tarp down yesterday is a good example it was like super crazy windy yesterday and uh putting that wood on the
