I'm a beautiful morning on the farm here guys [Music] in each bump oh alright hey guys it's Josh turn a rich farmer welcome to the farm vlog today I want to show you the progress on the little puppies and also what's that thing right there behind me look can't see the license plate what is that thing we're going to go over there and take a look at it best birthday present ever but first I'll let you see the pup hey boy hey boy what are you doing hey guys so we keep the puppies in the kennel here for their safety and looks like we've got some surprises back here did you guys make a poopy yeah okay go ahead sit sit everybody sit sit sit butch sit which in Sundance free free everybody's free hey hey hey boys hey boys what you doing here Sundance let's go pee we'll talk to you a little bit about the puppy training okay so we've got the two pups back here come on guys and we take them over in a wooded area this little wooded area that used to be wooded anyway until we have the timber cut you can see there's trees in behind us and there's a forest back here so what we're doing is we're taking our pups over here to poop buddy come and we've also trained buddy go peepee come on let's go peepee we trained buddy to come over here and pee pee in the woods pee pee go peepee and then Butch and Sundance this is Sundance butch come on boy butch is peeing in the gravel so it takes a little while to train these guys right does it take a little while to train you go peed buddy so we train these guys to come over here and go to the bathroom in the woods instead of in the yard so that I don't have to deal with stepping in poop and we don't like poop right butch look at buddy look it buddy sit sit shake shake it good boy all right all you friends go poopy so now that we got the pups pooped and peed I'm going to take you over here and show you my birthday present to myself here on the farm we know at some point we're going to have to haul people and we're going to have to haul good we're going to build a cabin over here on the back side of the farm so that people can come into a farm stay and if we have to go get them from the airport but here we've got ourselves a Sprinter van this is a 2016 Mercedes Sprinter it has the four cylinder it's the i4 diesel I'm getting 24 miles to the gallon out of this thing this is a huge beast we'll talk to you a little bit about it so my birthday my birthday's in the last week in July and we ended up trading in my 2010 Dodge Ram Pickup I love this truck I loved it so much I have been thinking about getting rid of it for about two years now and I just couldn't find anything that could replace it until I researched and found the Sprinter van this little Sprinter van is the 144 inch wheelbase Mercedes Sprinter van and has the four-cylinder diesel engine I'm getting 24 miles to the gallon out of this thing and that's around town letting it run letting it stay cool running the air conditioner you know with a diesel engine I like to keep them running I don't turn the diesel engine on and off on and off on and off I don't want to prematurely wear it out this thing is awesome I was really skeptical about buying the Mercedes okay well the Mercedes diesel engine only requires service every 20,000 miles so I take this thing into Mercedes to the dealership they charge me 250 bucks they go through it they do a diagnostic on it changing will change all the filters and it's only two hundred and fifty dollars every 20,000 miles okay which is awesome awesome awesome service I went back in the service department before I bought this thing and I said hey what is the issue with this thing I talked to the service manager and I also talked to a service technician before I bought it I said what what's the major issue what are these things come back for the 3.0 liter v6 engine it comes back for issues with the deaf fluid there's deaf blooood pump issues of some sort I don't know a whole lot about the deaf fluid deaf fluid is something you put in for the emissions it's a little filler right in the under the hood there there's a little alarm that alerts when you need more deaf fluid you can get it anywhere Walmart Dollar Stores maybe I don't know but it's everywhere you don't buy deaf fluid and keep it because it goes bad it crystallizes so anyway you buy it when you need it this little diesel van is going to serve us an awesome purpose here on the farm we'll be able to haul people around we'll be able to haul Goods around and it's basically a giant truck okay so I'm going to take you inside and tell you why we bought what we bought and what it's all about and later on in another vlog we're going to take it and show you we're going to get it wrapped so it's going to be wrapped in Stoney Ridge farm garb garb would be the I guess the word for it we're going to dress this thing up to represent our farm and it's on a truck chassis so we can continue to run our North Carolina farm tag awesome let me open the door here is the passenger door guys this thing is awesome smells great inside its new the seats are nice it's got great fit and finish very happy with it a few things I'm not happy with are the cupholders it has horrible horrible cupholders you got cupholders like up here which is right where the Sun is it doesn't make any sense you know Mercedes you probably could have came up with a better plan than that but let's open up the slider and we've taken the back seat from the very back back here out and put it in the very front so we can see for here this fan seats 12 it comes with three rows of seats we've taken out the two rows of seats and basically right now I'm just using it to haul around bike stuff and and if I need to go to a hardware store or whatever this is not to replace a truck but this is more to represent our farm and to represent Stoney Ridge farmer so back here I've got toolbox and stuff some totes I've got my bicycle back here because I've been doing a lot of bike riding I don't know if you guys have noticed but I've not blogging a whole lot I've been training I did what's called the off-road assault on Mount Mitchell it's a mountain bike race and in a previous life previous life I used to be a big-time cyclist gained about 60-something pounds getting married I've lost about 35 pounds I'm back on the bike getting out exercising taking care of myself a little bit better which is something we all need to think about guys you got out here at homesteading and farming next thing you know the old belly starts to build on you so and pushing that 40 mark really kind of woke me up a little bit to that fact that I need to start getting in shape and I need to start thinking about taking care of my health in the future being a nurse working in the
