    I like how you let Mike decide how he wants to handle his part and just give him suggestions. You are not like a boss that just takes over and bosses other people around. It is a quality many bosses lack.

I'll turn 83 this summer, and you sure help me pass my time. May God ride with you and keep you safe. I have a trucker son. It takes a lot of prayers for all of you guys. God bless you all! Ed

      Greetings, and Blessings from Ohio ..... To Ron and Mike, Very well done in every respect. This indeed was a different challenge. Kudos to you both. I can't believe the force of the drainage current! You both are wise in the cautions taken while working right on top of it. The current below, and relentless traffic of the Interstate!! Once again, experience, caution and hard work got the job done professionally. Thankful that the driver got away with only injuries. That was a solid hit. Again, thanks and Blessings to Ron, Mike and the entire Midwest family. Blessings to your many subscribers nd viewers as well.

    Ron, you are pretty quick on your feet. Running up to move the rotator so Mike could pull farther forward.
    I didn’t see you guys put out any cones or flashing flares. I’m glad that all those people at least moved over (but they should have also slowed down).
    The wave at the camera , at the end, made me laugh. Have had a bad couple days before watching you video. It felt good to laugh.
    Always look forward to you videos.

    I must admit this one got my heart going a bit, from the point where the Tator got lifted a bit to when you made a mad dash on the interstate to pull forward. But ultimately the recovery went safely, and that's what matters, but mother nature... and resistance proved once again that they're not to be underestimated.
