  Mike Baxter : Hey, Mike Baxter here for Outdoor Man, with a big thank you to everyone who's watched these vlogs, all 194 of them. I'm not gonna lie... you got great taste. But I also wanted to thank everyone who's not watching, because they're probably out making something, building something, doing something, fixing something. For too many people, the only thing they know is how to make an excuse. "It was too hard. Didn't feel good. They sent the wrong part."

  Mike Baxter : I've been thinking a lot about makers and takers, you know? Because I had something very valuable taken from me. Somebody took my truck. Ten years of attention to detail, poof, gone. It's an empty feeling, like when John Elway retired. Wow. Am I sad? Yeah, I'm sad. And I did what I always do when I get sad: Eat some pork and remember Ronald Reagan. The Gipper. And the verse he quoted when he lost the 1976 GOP nomination. "Though I am hurt, I am not slain. I lay me down to bleed a while. Then I'll rise and fight again." I loved every moment of that show - I mean truck. It was a classic from a simpler, happier time. You know... the truck. And that's something that can't be stolen from me. What kind of punks steal other people's stuff? Make something yourself. Men. My mother was right. She always quoted this famous comedian, and I can't remember his name, who said, "Men are pigs, oh, oh, oh." Baxter out.
