Thanks for the ride JO.

The ride may seem like nothing special to you but be aware you are one in a million that is and have the knowledge to do it

Cold but fun in the winter weather, see how this works and how many leaks I have in my welds. (flux thread)

Good to hear your english voice Jan. You do good! Glad to hear it is running good.

Wayne · February 6, 2021, 1:45pm

Thanks Jan for letting us go along. Enjoyed the ride

Congratulations Jan, I didn’t realised you were already done with your new gasifier. And in these horrible temps we’re having. I’m impressed.
I hope you share some more info on the build.

This is some old video but maybe new folks would like to watch.

Hey JO

The video of the truck and trailer turning around puts me in the mind of some roads in Tennessee where you can read your own license plate while going through the curves .

JO_Olsson · February 7, 2021, 5:38pm

Wayne, that’s Norway to us. Takes you an hour to reach a destination crows would manage in 5 minutes

JO; That is amazing!!! I don’t know how he jack-nifed the trailer so sharp. I flipped a trailer over from cutting the tractor to sharp. I think, a lot of our tractor trailers like that have a way of locking the turning axle on the trailer so the whole unit is just a semi. It skids the heck out of the tires on the turning axle, but just for a short time. TomC

If you are not too busy jump in and we will take a little ride

Norman89 · March 22, 2021, 1:45am

I may be busy Wayne (reading the book, reading the forum, cooking dinner and brainstorming) but I’ll take a break for the ride!

Joni · March 22, 2021, 4:36am

Ha! don’t show this video to the cops! You have not fulfilled the requirements of the road sign ! Violating, citizen!

Thanks for the ride Wayne, it was a great start to my morning.

Dualfuel · March 22, 2021, 12:08pm

Wayne,
That truck is so quiet on this video, it was hard to hear what the engine was doing. At the light, you put the hammer down and it sounded really strong.
The obvious thing to say here is this truck is super easy to drive! I can’t hold a camera and RIDE in the van when Ben drives, let alone drive.
I think you are pretty happy with all this work.
—not bored btw. Motivated yes, bored no.

Wayne · March 23, 2021, 8:35pm

I had planned to offer you boys a good ride in the ole work truck this morning but my video camera kept shutting down . But if you are up to a couple of short rides just jump in .

I never notice the lose mufflers and loud noise until I video . Will work on that soon .

Thanks wayne, I have never heard a v-10 before. Sounds like an Audi 5cyl, as close as I can tell. Zooms right along tho.
