Wednesday Night ONT - July 8, 2026 [TRex]

Good evening Horde. The time has come for mid-week shenanigans. The bar is open and freshly re-stocked.

Welcome to the Wednesday night ONT which means another edition of random overnight fun and games. Pull up a chair and join the fun. Good will offerings of amusing puns are encouraged. Pants are optional. Be nice to your fellow commenters and AoS contributors. This is a Tucker, Candace, Megyn and Bill Kristol free zone. Please.

Will reading the content earn you free Triscuits? No. Will it entertain and inform while you eat your Triscuits? Perhaps. Only one way to find out.

Niche YouTube Channel of the Week

Tonight's feature is Matt and his channel called Diesel Creek. Matt rescues heavy equipment - like bulldozers. He does a little restoration work and likes haunting the local auction for rescue projects, but his draw is bringing heavy equipment back to life that hasn't run for a long time. His channel has over a million subscribers.

I know what you're thinking. Do people really watch an 88 minute video of two friends trying to get a 1967 CAT D8 bulldozer running that has been sitting long enough to have trees growing through and around its parts? Yes. 5.1 million views.

His videos are good examples of story telling. He has technical knowledge and ability to explain things, but his charm is mostly a guy that likes to play with big toys and can tell stories about his projects. No artificial drama. No highly polished graphics or editing. No clickbait.

YouTube has more channels dedicated to heavy machinery rescue projects than you would think. The data doesn't lie - there is a big audience. What a country!

The Pittsburgh police scanner keeps giving. Thank you people of Pittsburgh and thank you Pittsburgh scanner!
