    I live in Texas but my family lives in Maine in Aroostook county off of Route 11. Your videos make me feel like I am visiting family. I spent most of my summers in Maine. It is my second home. I love how passionate you are about road safety. I find your videos relaxing and informative!

      Post, we deal with the Texas heat by loving our air conditioners, finding activities that are either indoor or playing in the water. Of course our lakes are murky...nothing like the clear lakes of New England. Plus, we have alot of venomous snakes lurking around our lakes. I would rather be in Maine in the summer...well after the blackflies ease up. lol

    I live in Nashville, and it is currently 90 degrees at 2:20 p.m. Yesterday morning (around 4 a.m.) the temperature was about the same and my air conditioning wasn't working. The temperature in my house got up around 85 degrees. I was too miserable to sleep so I got up and opened a window because it was a little bit cooler outside than it was inside and I had a fan turned on me. I decided that if I got too miserable, I would just go out and sit in my car which would have been cooler than my house. I managed to get some sleep without having to go to my car and the guy came out the next day and fixed my AC before noon so before the heat of the day.
    I am amazed at how spoiled I have become. When I was a child, I never had any air conditioning, not in my dad's car and not in our house. We would fan ourselves so we would be comfortable enough that we could get to sleep but it never occurred to any of us to complain about the heat because no one I knew had air conditioning and very few businesses had air conditioning either. BTW, our school was not air conditioned either so for a couple of months at the beginning and ending of the school year we were pretty unhappy campers. When I say we would fan ourselves, I mean with a fan we made out of a sheet of paper or a piece of cardboard because we didn't even own an electric fan. I cannot imagine trying to make it through temperatures close to a hundred degrees with no central air and yet when I was a child that is exactly what we did.
    Thank you for this rainy-day drive. When I saw that this video was an hour long I immediately knew I wouldn't watch the entire thing but I thought I would watch at least 10 or 15 minutes of it. Here we are at 57 minutes, and I'm still here so thank you very much for this enjoyable ride!

    We are having rainy conditions here on the east coast of the USA.

Maine 156

    State Route 156 is a 23-mile-long state highway in the U.S. state of Maine. It is located entirely in Franklin County and runs between Weld and the Chesterville village of Farmington Falls

    I do paving and on that road that you were slipping on they did “mill” it down if you look closely in your vid you will see the grooves. Rain pools in it and it acts like a giant puddle… Causing you to hydroplane. Figured I’d give you a little knowledge on it.

    I did some research, Because i would have assumed that Shifting to Neutral and back to drive every time you are stopped would cause more wear from the shifting, rather than just sitting in drive while stopped, and from some short research i seem to be correct. The torque converter cuts off everything going to the transmission, so sitting in drive while stopped causes no extra wear, and shifting to neutral and back every time does cause more wear.

They are superb craftsmen, and they take a lot of pride in what they do, and I have seen barns that they built that look very similar to this one. If anyone knows the exact history of this barn, I hope they will tell us because like I said, I am not sure.

      Yes. It's now a farm produce business for t h e last few years. Depot st meats believe. It's part of a bigger complex of buildings. I went looking for it on Google earth too. It looks like the 5 story end and the level above were for stock and maybe living quarters above for the staff handling the farm horses and stock. Couldn't find anything on its history and who built it. That would be really interesting. I'm glad I wasn't the only person who got sidetracked inn the video. Thanks Post

    What a mess! With the interrupted road at 8:20 they put up a barrier at the other side of the hollow, for cars coming down the hill.
    With the slippery highway, it has ripples and scratches which to me seems like they milled off a tiny bit. This will smear some bitumen onto the top which was previously under the surface. Bitumen/asphalt is extremely slippery in wet conditions.

    Your keyless csr fob, was meaning to mention its battery typically last 2 to 3 years depending on use. Reason being it continuously searches for the signal which drains the battery. So you will want to keep it well away from your magnets as it will drain the battery faster still. Once battery starts to go it doesn't always lock/ unlock then won't start the car hit and miss until it stops. So you have to use the key which is hidden inside the fob. I get the batteries replaced once every 2 years anyway now. Also keep keyless fob in protect pouch as car hijackers will scan code and clone fob to steal cars. Common problem atm.

      The fob has a on-off switch and it will still start if it's dead if you place it against

      @post10Second oh nice, wish mine had that on/off function. I'll have to enquire next time I get a replacement battery. Thank you for sharing.

    Houghton County MI experienced similar flooding on Father's Day 2018. There's lots of videos on CZcams.
