So who else thinks that Rick is a piece of work. He's the classic guy who goes thru the motions but doesn't really care about what he does.

I wonder if the show producers set up something with his employer to give him crappy loads so he turned into comic relief with his Biotching the bosses.

Hugh sure is taking the $h1T this year grin quite literally!

Poor Alex with the blood clot...that's 2 dudes down now with blood clots on reality TV...remember phil? Hope he's back, he is the funny one.

Drew seems like he is on prozac or something, just seems to dingy to be driving heavy equipment...maybe that's why he's driving a 1 ton cuber.

I guess he's not that exciting, and not even driving on the ice.

I sure feel bad for Alex. That must be tough with such a large family.

I wish Rick would take a good hard look at Alex, and maybe catch a clue on what really matters.....

I thought Rick's boss handled him really well when Rick went in to his office to have a tantrum. He totally disarmed him, and got Rick to do what he wanted. He never even raised his voice, and had Rick slinking out like a puppy

ya gota feel for alex. hes just chopping at the bit to get out and get his loads complete, and now hes stuck in a hosp and cant do anything about it.

It was great show last night. Its great to see all the trucks consurned about Alex and how hes going to be. I hope he can pull through it and get back out on the ICE.

Alex had to go into hospital for checkup due to shortness of breath, then was diagnosed with a blood clot in his left lung and the doc thinks there was another one in the right side.

They told him he cant drive trucks anymore....what a bummer.

Not a good year for the reality shows and blood clots I guess with Phil on Deadliest Catch and now Alex. I hope it all turns out well for them. Thanks for the information MuleShack.

Yea, I agree, I hope Alex gets back to his job and so does Phil. Would hate to see something happen to either of those guys. They are two of the good ones.

That Rick is a really whiny little princess. Get real tired of hearing him complain.

DVR baby, I tape the show then fast forward over Rick and the other donkey that quit the 1st day, forget his name. Bear, Alex and the others are real warriors!!

That's what I do....

I think that show has about run it's course. I still enjoy it, but last night that over hyping of some jobs was a bit much.

The guy that was hauling the "4200 gallon load of volatile diesel fuel" made me chuckle.

Diesel fuel, volatile? at 40 below? Hardly.

I hope Alex comes out ok. He sure looked different with his beard gone.

    • got this tackled today took about 3 hours to get both sides done. Didnt even get to use a torch....   Thought I was golden with just jacking it up and I could get to everything but no luck. Had to remove the entire axle hub and brake assembly to get to what I needed. Was a pain but still better then taking off the entire pivot arm.    Axle bearings were already greased and in great shape thankfully. Got both leaf springs installed and its ready for the road again.   Probably going to have my electric brakes checked, I am not touching anything with the brake drums. Based on what I saw it doesn't look like my electric brakes have been working anyway. Brakes are nice to have if its slippery out
    • By The way that didn't work either!! Screw it I'll just use the cellular. 
    • It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.
    • 😂 yea pretty amazing how b o o b i e s gets flagged, but they can't respond or tell me why I  can't get logged in here on my laptop but I can on my cellular  😪
    • I grilled some brats yesterday, maybe next weekend will the next round...  
    • You got word censored cuz you said        B o o b ies….. haha.   Yeah, no… grilling is on hiatus for a bit.
    • Chicken mine,  melded in Mccormick poultry seasoning for 24 hours.  Grill will get a break till the frigid temps go away!
    • we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.
