Joe! My friend! My significant OTHER whom I’ve known for 53 years, and whom I was married to for a time and whom has been my housemate for the approximately last 20 years passed away one week ago yesterday! Now, as I watch your familiar video once again, I am feeling softly embraced by the family feeling that I get when enjoying your company. I thank you for sharing your life with me and many others! It surely means a whole lot! Especially when your heart has a crack in it and the house feels strange! ❤️‍🩹

I want to thank you for the work you put in the videos. A little piece of nature is great for the mental health of truck drivers who only get a few days a year to enjoy the outdoors!!! Thanks again and shout out to all the drivers who keep this country moving.

Another awesome video Joe. Thanks to you and Melissa for taking us along once again for the fishing opener. And still can't figure out why people are leaving negative comments, that just baffles me.

[randallreece]

Always love to see and hear your dad....such a treasure.

[jamestrowbridge]

I haven't watched in a while, last time I watched, your dad had just had surgery. Glad to see he's doing well. I'll bet you are glad you met Melissa. It's hard to be alone in life.

Essentially a private lake. No neighbors. What an unbelievably perfect place to hit the reset button
