Could've used 'I crashed into my own truck', but long titles are cooler than clickbait

The Video Shoot: A Day of Trials and Tribulations

As I sat in my car, preparing to shoot another video, I couldn't help but feel a sense of excitement and nervousness. I had planned out the day's content, and was looking forward to sharing it with my audience. However, fate had other plans. The weather forecast predicted rain, and sure enough, the skies opened up as soon as we arrived at our location.

Despite the gloomy weather, I decided to push on, determined to get as much footage as possible. Unfortunately, things didn't quite go according to plan. My camera battery died, just as I was about to start filming. I spent way too long trying to fix it, but ultimately couldn't get it working properly. This setback meant that my video upload was delayed, and I had to make the best of a bad situation.

The next day, Nicole arrived back from Boston, where she had been visiting her family. I decided to spend some time with her, and then resume filming for the day. However, things didn't quite go as smoothly as I had hoped. We got rained out, and my plans for the day were ruined. Despite this, I was determined to make the most of it, and ended up heading to Jimmy's shop instead.

At Jimmy's shop, we started to pull apart the cluster unit from one of his cars. Our plan was to clean up some of the connections and move the fuel gauge down, but things didn't quite go as planned. The gauge continued to rise, despite our best efforts to fix it. We suspected that there might be a wiring issue, and decided to investigate further.

We pulled out the cluster unit again, this time to test its functionality. If it was working properly, then we would know where the problem lay. However, things took a turn for the worse when Jimmy's shop equipment started malfunctioning. We wound up breaking more stuff than we fixed, and our progress was hindered.

In an effort to troubleshoot the issue, we checked various components, including the headlight switch, the digital cluster unit (TCU), and the speedo. However, despite our best efforts, nothing seemed to be working properly. We even replaced every single fuse in the car, but still couldn't seem to get anything fixed.

Just when it seemed like things couldn't get any worse, I got into an accident with my truck. It was parked in neutral, and I didn't realize it until it started rolling back, hitting the lawnmower. The impact left a noticeable dent on the front bumper. On top of that, Nicole's pit bike had gotten away from her, and we had to fish it out of a nearby pond.

To make matters worse, my mom drove the truck back to the shop, where she accidentally backed into a lawnmower. It was clear that accidents were going to happen, but I couldn't help feeling frustrated with the day's events. Despite the setbacks, I was determined to stay positive and make the most of it.

As the day drew to a close, we decided to call it quits on filming. While things hadn't gone according to plan, I had still managed to get some footage, albeit not as much as I had hoped for. The final product would be edited later, but for now, I was just happy to have made it through the day without any major catastrophes.

In the end, my plans were foiled by bad weather, a dead camera battery, and a series of unfortunate accidents. However, despite all this, I still managed to come out with some footage, albeit not as much as I had hoped for. It was a reminder that sometimes things just don't go according to plan, but it's how we respond that really matters.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: ensup guys we are starting off today in my 240 nothing uncommon uh we're going to the skate park going to ride for a little bit and then we're going to get to some car shining again later today uh pardon the loud car noise I put it in neutral so hopefully it wouldn't be too loud but we got to go back in gear now see you soon so like most girls don't like moist you just don't like the word manise I do not like the word mayonnaise man Ledgewood is one of my favorite parks in Connecticut it's in Middlebury and it's actually a tennis court that the town kind of gave everyone usage of and the community just got together built some awesome ramps with the help of a very nice policeman and probably other people that I don't know of but it's it's just a really cool place there's always good vibes here and it's fun cuz you can move stuff around and kind of turn it into whatever you want to ride he God damn sometimes you just can't get it I spent way too long trying that stupid nose manual I got it really good but of course I missed it the camera battery died so the one that I included wasn't as good as my first one and we got rained out so looks like we're not going to be doing too much car stuff today cuz I don't want to drive the 240 all the way over to Jimmy shop so right now I'm just going to Cody's house which is pretty local and we'll probably hang out there and hope the weather blows away it's a new day I decided to just kind of take yesterday as a wash Nicole was getting back from Boston she went there to visit her family so I figured I'd spend some time with her and then I'd just resume filming today so sorry for the no upload yesterday but I'm heading to Jimmy shop now where fun stuff always goes on got to mount some tires knock out a few things with my car probably just hang out a bit already got her warming up such a beautiful day out I got to Jimmy shop and Jimmy wasn't here so I started to pull things apart we pulled the cluster out uh cleaned up some of the connection and move like the fueld gauge down but it's still going back up so chances are that it's probably just something in the wiring although it's not going past F full like it was do you think you had that much gas in your tank or you think that's I'd be very surprised if I had that much no it's still going up yeah so that probably means that the cluster is getting full power no resistance off the pump which is weird cuz there's resistance back there so it means like the wire's grounding out somewhere must be I just pulled the cluster out of Drew's car to test it and if that boy creeps to full then uh we got a bigger problem on our hands it's looking like it Jimmy oh no stop it please stop don't go don't do it don't do it come on it's not worth it we wound up breaking more stuff than we fixed my cluster lights aren't working my key ring light isn't working my gas gauge still doesn't work my popup stopped working my cigarette lighter goes off when I turn my lights on it's a sad day we didn't touch as much as you guys think we pulled the cluster and and we SWOT bulbs to see which bulbs were out cuz we just thought bulbs were out and now they all don't work um we checked the headlight switch we checked the dier switch we checked the T what is it the TCU what's the name of that box the not t TCU TCU the come up box and uh we checked all the W I checked I went through the whole Board of the speedo and still nothing and I replace all the fuses and we replace every single fuse so the 240 gu are not with us today I'm trying to like put us all right so we've been here for a few hours Jimmy was actually able to figure out some way to kind of rig the wiring and get my gauge lights to work again as well as my pop-up headlights cigarette lighter still doesn't work still missing a few bulbs still don't have a fuel gauge but I'm going to get a new sending unit tomorrow uh or a used one I should say um it's late there's been a lot of frustrations I was in the car and because I was was so focused on putting all the interior stuff back together I didn't realize the car was in neutral and I guess it started rolling back hit the truck and put a dent in the front bumper after yesterday my mom drove the truck and backed it into the lawnmower so I i' never get incidents and dings on cars but I have a new pretty car and of course stuff happens but oh well I'm just glad the 240 is not really that banged up but uh it's not that bad it's something that you could probably just get out with uh painless dent repair I'm assuming it's kind of hard to see not like like we could go there has just been coloring she was riding the pit bikee before but uh she got a little too Reckless and we had to take her off you need me to sharpen it again yeah I've been sharpening pencils for Nicole with some razor blade I don't know where it went so that is it for the video today guys I hope you enjoyed it little bit more laidback to normal but uh just like life sometimes the videos will have their up sometimes they'll have their down sometimes they'll have their sideways a lot of sideways stay sideways bye when you say when you say that you love me that you you when you say yousup guys we are starting off today in my 240 nothing uncommon uh we're going to the skate park going to ride for a little bit and
