In this video I’ll talk you though my experience over the last 20 weeks after shoulder surgery. Hope you find some value in it if you looking for this type of content!

Check out how they make apple cider at Yates Cider Mill in Michigan. Very old press. Watch for the whole process!

We were in Michigan recently, and the walnut trees were fully ripe and dropping fruit. I had never seen walnuts before outside of the grocery store. The fruit is about the size of a large lime. It’s round. It’s green. And it’s mushy like a papaya. You squeeze the seed out of the middle, wash it dry it, and that’s the part that you crack and eat. I saw another YouTube video that if you put them in a bucket, the ones that float are bad. Anyway I thought this was pretty cool. Hope you enjoy the video!

In this video, I will show you a close-up of a chunk of coal that was mined probably 100 years ago. I found it in the basement of a house built in 1816 in New Hampshire where my brother lives. If you’re like me, you’ve never had an opportunity to actually hold a piece of coal. That’s pretty neat. It’s organic, I found that out the hard way through airport security. They will hold you up to swap it for explosive and ask questions about it. Evidently it shows up on their scanner as organic material and it’s not very often that you say something organic that looks like a rock.

Power turned off in 1991. Every time I’m in one of these homes I always imagine when it was new. Someone built this house. Cared about it. Made it their home. Raised a family maybe. Ate dinner, breakfast. Christmas morning maybe. Now it’s left to decay. Please don’t forget to subscribe to this channel for new videos you may enjoy!

I’ve had these chairs for two years now and they look and perform like the day I got them. So often with aluminum chairs the fasteners are steel and rust. Or the material is cheep and falls apart. These chairs have lasted in the sand and salt water of Florida. All I do is rinse them with fresh water and let them completely dry before stowing. They are ready go, not seizing parts, no dripping rust, not torn fabric. I’ve been very happy and just purchased the high back version. Thanks for watching. Hope this video helps you make a buying decision!

In this video, we set up the putt plank on the side of our boat for Lilly to board, and just after a few tries she was able to do it on her own. There’s some technique to positioning it. We purchased the smallest size, mainly because it fit perfectly in one of the lockers on the boat. Also, the dog is not very big, but this Plank size could easily support a larger dog. We got it at West Marine and also purchased to snap locks to make it easier to take on and off the handle we secured it to.

This is just one way that I have found successful for several storms over the last couple years. If you have any advise or a different way, please drop it in the comments. Always learning!

After going through four controllers or in this case the all in one unit, I finally decided to protect the unit from the sun, and it’s resulted in them lasting twice as long. This is my second house with a salt pool and whether it hangs on the wall or it’s plumbed in line the first thing to go is the screen and the buttons. Some brands do sell a replacement screen, however, it’s far easier to just protect it from the elements. In this video, I replace the top on a cover I built two years ago. I thought it was a great idea. Everyone that sees it thinks it’s a great idea. They sell them in pool stores, but they’re very expensive and made out of molded plastic like a little igloo. This one you can build very cheap or in this case the piece of starboard was around $70 but it’ll last a very long time. Anyway, hope you enjoy this video! Here is the link for the product I used  https://www.westmarine.com/taco-marine-marine-lumber-plastic-building-material-P004_135_001_009.html

In this video, I’ll show you my new rims, which were Ebay takeoffs. I had to go through two different sellers to find five. The experience was very good. I think if you just really do your homework, and the seller is a good communicator, you’ll end up with exactly what’s pictured. I purchased four from one seller which was an amazing experience. The seller actually talk to me on the phone several times. The second seller was harder to find because very few people are selling just one. In this case they had three for sale. By the time I received the single purchase and realized it was scratched. They only had one wheel left. So rather than deal with an exchange, I went ahead and bought the second wheel.  between the two wheels I was able to exchange some of the bead, lock retaining bolts, and get a wheel good enough for the spare. Anyway, it was a great experience and I’m glad I did it. The 37 package rims stick out about a quarter inch due to their offset. This makes the truck ever so slightly wider. These rims are also heavier which caused them to feel different on the road. You feel more planted is the best way I can explain it, and the ride actually seems smoother. Anyway, here are the two Ebay sellers I used. And the shop was Fit Automotive if you’re in the Fort Myers area, they are fantastic.

In this video, I’ll take you to Fort Myers Detail Center where James ceramic coated my new to me 2022 Ford Raptor wheels. These were Ebay take offs. I had to go through to sellers to get all five.

Please google the name if you’re interested in finding a specific sauce. Because of supplier changes I don’t have the websites for each. Several did come from Amazon.

In this video, I will show you how to use the box link plate to install a functional auto retracting stainless steel ratchet strap. This modification is pretty involved however, it is so convenient to have the straps ready to go whenever you need them. If you change trucks, you could simply take the plate along with you. In this video, I show you everything you need to do this project. Here’s a list of materials along with links for some of the products You’ll need a Stainless Steel, nuts and bolts appropriately sized for the strap retainer. You’ll also need an extra set of washers for the back plate of the ratchet strap bolt. You’ll need some Loctite. A hacksaw or grinder. And some general tools.

If you’re ever in Dearborn, Michigan, this is a must do. The factory tour is amazing. You can see all F150 is being built from about when the doors and bed get separated all the way through to installing the windshield, sunroof, bed components, door components, interior with the exception of seats, headliner, it’s pretty amazing. The museum is massive. It has farm equipment, planes, cars, trains, furniture, electrical generators, presidential limos. The size of it is truly massive.

Tour of Marvin’s Marvelous Mechanical Museum in Farmington Hills Michigan. It’s basically an arcade of antique machines. It has a few modern arcade games and a wall of pinball machines. But for the most part, it’s a older mechanically driven machines. Everything operates off quarters. The newer machines spit out tickets that can be exchanged for candy and toys. I think it’s a one time must see if you’re in the area. Unless you’re into the stuff I don’t see a scenario where we would go back but I’m glad we checked it out. 31005 Orchard Lake Rd Farmington Hills Michigan 48334 They actually have a website http://www.marvin3m.com/ Thanks for watching!

In this video, I will show you the changes I’ve found in Forscan that seem to be updates over the last 9 months. The most recent YouTube video I could find was about nine months old. The number one big change is. Forscan records your Vin number, and can access the original settings automatically as long as you have a Wi-Fi connection to your laptop while connected to the truck. That is a huge improvement in case you screw something up. Couple of other updates to the number of easy enable disable choices versus the most recent videos I could find. The global windows up down feature does not seem to work. Also, the video at speed feature does not work. But there are lots of cool things that do work. My favorite feature is shutting off the Doodley Doo chime upon start up and the double horn tap when getting out of the truck while it’s running. I encourage everyone to pay the $12. Anything that helps Forescan continue to make improvements I am all for! Forscan website: https://forscan.org/home.html Thanks for watching !

Does not hurt the good bugs! I installed two XL Dynatraps and not only are the mosquitoes gone, but the spiders are gone. All the gnats around the outside lights are gone. The dragonflies and bees seem to be safe. These things are amazing. They produce a nice night light. They run 24 seven. Results seem to take 30 days to really take affect. The larger traps have more powerful fan motors. This model is the most powerful light Dynatrap makes. The only thing I don’t particularly like is the obnoxious white branding on the outside of the machine. If you’re looking for a cheap option, please check out this video: https://youtu.be/sklwRAX7y_k This was a review I did a couple years ago and this product worked good to prevent mosquitoes, but did not do anything for the spiders and gnats.
