In this video, you will see a corn stalk with 3 sets of brace roots. The first, at ground level going into the dirt. The second, about 3 inches above ground level reaching towards the ground. The third, about 8 inches above ground level, again reaching towards the dirt. One or 2 sets of brace roots isn't uncommon. It's the plants way of reaching out for more water and nutrients and ends up giving the stalk extra stability. The third brace root here at 8 inches above ground level is rather unusual! This tells me my subsurface soil conditions are not conducive to roots growing into the ground. Next year before planting I will have some soil preparation to do. This year it was very wet and the soil clumped up and didn't break apart very well. Thanks for watching!

A quick veiw of Niagara Falls Canada from the American side of Niagara Falls at the Niagara River.

The Niagara River dumping into Niagara Falls from the American side at night.

The Niagara River right before Niagara falls on the American side.

A shot of Niagara Falls, Canada from the American side of the Falls. In this video, you can see the lights that light up Niagara Falls and the city in the background. It's a sight to see during the day but, to see it at night knowing what it looks like is a whole different experience. I would highly recommend making it a point to get over to Niagara Falls to see one of our nation's greatest natural wonders. And it's FREE! I would not stay in Niagara Falls the city though, as it is crime ridden and pretty nasty but, the areas around it are nice like Lewiston NY and Grand Island NY. They are very nice safe areas. That being said, if you decide to stay in the city of Niagara Falls, stay close to the main areas like by the hotels and Casinos. Don't go anywhere alone and don't make a point to let people know you're from out of town. If anyone asks you for money, say you're broke, try to avoid people that seem off at all costs. Stay in well lite areas and where there are groups of people. And most importantly, stay away from the water! There are no gates or fences or barriers at the rivers edge. If you go into that river, you're not coming out alive! The undertow and currents are so strong, it'll knock you off your feet and suck you under and you'll end up tumbling down the Falls to your death. STAY AWAY FROM THE RIVERS EDGE! There are designated paths with lights and signs and cameras and its patrolled by police regularly. Thanks for watching and have a wonderful day!

Quick video of Possi the Possum saying hello! He stops by once in a while to eat the cats food. You can always tell when it's him eating because he makes a ruckus and tips the bowl over and eats with his mouth open. Thanks for watching!

This video was sent to me by a friend showing a Cheektowaga cop not wearing his mask properly or following court rules that prohibite the use of cell phones while in court. Another example of the select few that "lead" us and how the rules do not apply to them. Spread the word and let's take our country back from these tyrants!!! God bless the USA!

Pecky the wood pecker stopped by for a quick game of peak-a-boo while he ate from his suet cake. Not sure who he was playing it with but it seemed like a pretty intense match and he won!

To get to the other side!!! Deer strolling through the front yard. Completely oblivious to the danger of the cars going down the road. These people cut down our residential road as a short cut, haunling ass going over the speed limit, also just as oblivious to the danger of animals crossing the road.

More government helicopters flying over nys... Sick of these people and their garbage. They want us to drive zero emissions electric cars but they can fly in their personal aircraft that create 10 times more pollution and use 10 times more fuel right up in our atmosphere were it affects us the most... Talk about a double standard...

Over the 2021 Memorial day weekend, we went to see Mt Rushmore in South Dakota. To my surprise there were many people there and 99% of the people had no mask on. Looking up at the carvings of our former Presidents, they appeared to be crying. How symbolic this was. 4 of our prior Presidents, men whom loved our country dearly, crying, seeing what the radical left dems are doing to this great country. The carvings are crying in disbelief and in heartbreak over the way these crazy, unstable insane people are "running" this country and destroying everything we stand for. God bless the USA. I pray every night that something happens and we return to the proud, free and patriotic people in the greatest country to ever exist. Stand together. We can't let them do this to our country. If you don't like our history or what we stand for, leave. Otherwise, shut your mouth and enjoy your freedom. People don't know how lucky they are to live here. They wouldn't get away with the shit they're trying to pull in other countries. I'm so very thankful to have caught this and honored to have been able to travel and see this great American icon before the left tries to destroy it. God bless America and God bless you all. I pray for us all every day along with my beautiful country which is in distress.

I stopped by the creek today during my bike ride and went for a walk on the dam and seen this big guy sunning himself on a rock. He's about 16-18 inches long! Decent sized snapper. Definitely wouldn't wanna mess around with him!

I find it very odd that they chose to put bats on the back of the 2020 quarters... Makes me think. This has been planned for a long time. I'm a big picture kind of guy and when I see all the details laid out in front of me, its not hard to put the picture together. Now they are coming out with all the lies and how dr fartchi paid for all that stuff and funded it with our money. They said it came from a bat yet there was no transmission to or from animals? How does that make sense? Let me guess, it was a vampire bat right? Sucking on human blood?.... I'm so sick of these liars. I just want Trump back. He actually cared about America and our values and traditions.

Well, its finally taking shape! Unfortunately, the leftist democrats think a 2x4x8 should be 10 dollars so progress has been slow. I buy a little lumber at a time that I can afford and once I have a pile, I get some work done. I'm up to 2100$ dollars so far... Plywood is gonna cost me almost 1000$... Its sad but I'm thankful I'm capable of doing this. I'm not in the position to spend the money and it costs me everything I make, but I'm making it happen a little at a time. Once again, because of the democratic left, I've only been able to work 10 hours or so week and thats not alot of money to work with... It is what it is though and God will take of everything in the end. Thanks for watching!

Its not officially spring in the Northeast until we get a late April snow! We got 6-8 inches over night on the 21st of April and now on the 22nd its still snowing and blowing and cold. It went down to 20 degrees last night. Thankfully its snow and not freezing rain and ice! I'll take snow over other weather events any day! It just melts away unlike tornados or hurricanes. I thank God everyday to be blessed to live where I do.

Looked out the kitchen window and seen something in a tree. Went out there and a fox is at the bottom of the tree watching the woodchuck lol. The fox must have treed the woodchuck and been waiting for his dinner to come back down! Mother Nature! Thanks for watching.

Today, after collecting materials for the past 5 months, finally started the shed. Its changed from a 10 by 16 to a 12 by 16. The extra 2 feet are so worth it. It adds 4 floor joists, 4 studs and 3 more sheets of plywood to the materials so it isn't that much more and the space will always be used. Never enough room to start! Thanks for watching!

Fox here is out picking through the compost pile in our early spring snow storm. It went from 71 degrees Tuesday to 23 degrees a day later on Thursday with snow. We have a handful of Fox that hang around. I hope to one day have one as a friend! Thanks for watching!

One of our fox friends was out back eating from the compost pile with a few of his deer friends and spooked his buddys! We have a handful of foxes that come around and a pack of 7 deer. They eat from the compost pile and pick out the treats that grow in the grass. Mother Nature sure is beautiful! Thanks for watching!

Quick video of one of the foxes eating from the compost pile. There is 4 or 5 of them that visit us every so often. Thanks for watching!

A little update on the cabinet. Top is finished now I just need to get the lumber to make the base. It will be about 4 drawers and flat surface in between the top and bottom for display or working. Thanks for watching!

This is the cabinet I'm in the process of making. Its a country style and a bit of shaker. I've built the entire thing with just a table saw, palm sander and 18 gauge brad nailer. Thanks for watching! More to come in this soon!

The things that happen when youre board and in the workshop and in a creative mood. I must of had pallets on my mind. I made a miniature skid out of some scraps. It makes a great coaster! Thanks for watching.

Quick video showing the full moon in the East and the beautiful sky behind it. The moon is coming up right over the Eastern horizon which is exactly where the sun comes up. It even follows a Southernly pathe to the west over night as the sun does in winter. We are in the Northeast Until States.

This morning I took delivery of 72 skids (pallets) from a local electrical contractor. I found them for free on Craigslist and he offered delivery for free if I took them all. There are 48"x48", 48"x24" and 48"x96" and all but a few are in great, close to new condition. I plan on building a 10'x16' shed and I will be using the slats from the pallets as siding and the frame pieces for framing and bracing where I can. The rest will be built using marked down lumber with minor defects. This is going to be a great build! I will be showing disassembly and cutting them all to the same size to make instalation easy and the over build process of it. A little at a time goes a long way. Thanks for watching!
