We were sitting around the fire, listening to the crickets and animals and a Screech Owl stopped by to say hello! Thanks for watching and have a great day!

Quick video of some turkeys crossing the road at Alleghany State Paek in Salamanca New York.

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!

Here is an example of the sad, crazy world which we live in. I live in New York State, the country part on the west coast of the state, and the use of plastic bags has been banned for a couple years now. We are not allowed to use them for groceries but the stores are allowed to sell, for GREAT profit, these oh so bad for the environment plastic bags. What a world we live in… The state of New York is mostly a beautiful, rural, hilly and wild land covered. The whole entire state suffers because of the terrible laws and politicians in that disgusting city.

Quick video on how to repair a worn out button on a fan remote. I had an old cordless house phone that was going to the garage and I took the rubber buttons off that were close to the size I needed. I put the phone buttons in the spot where the old worn out ones were on the fan remote and it works like a charm! This fan remote is 30 plus years old and the light button was plumb worn out. This quick little repair saved me about 50 dollars for a new remote! Thanks for watching and have a great day!

This is the set up to join a couple pieces of wood to make the roof for a custom birdfeeder. I was contacted by a gentleman out of state to recreate the birdfeeder he has in his yard. He sent me pictures and a few measurements and using both his dimensions and pictures, I was able to create a pattern using my digital angle finder and a scaling technique to determine sizes and angles. In this vice setup I have 4 pieces of 1"x5" about 18 inches long and 2 are jointed together with a 1/4" groove cut in the middle of the boards and I have 1/4" plywood glued in the grooves to act as biscuits to hold the joints strong, making 2 larger boards out of 4 smaller boards. Tomorrow I will be undoing the clamps and proceeding with the project. Thanks for watching!

Here's Luke dog having a great dream about running while taking a little nap.

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!

Puppy was tired and fell asleep with his tongue hangin out of his mouth. Please excuse the background noise, that’s what the news plays…

Looked out the window to the huge snow flakes this morning. 75 degrees a few days ago and now 30 and snow. We’ve been lucky this spring with the nice weather.

Luke looks out his window and waits for my brother to come home. He'll look out there and wait for them to come home for lunch and then around the time they get out of work. His natural clock is pretty accurate. He is such a good boy!

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 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!

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

Update!!! KOWOOD customer service reached out to me after I emailed them and in their broken English reply that started with calling me "dear" and said the tongue bit from their tongue and groove router bit set is for bench use only. After explaining that it wasn't used it was merely tested to see if it was safe to use with the router in my hands, they still haven't replied back to me. I would not recommend KOWOOD Router bits. They may have good sets but the risk of getting an inferior set is too risky. Router bit failure is very dangerous, this happened at just under 16,000 rpm and could have been alot worse. I bought them from Amazon to see if they were worth the 32 dollars and no they are not. The chances of getting a bad set may be low but that is not a risk worth taking. You may end up injured or with a broken router like I did. The shaft is now bent and has a terrible vibration to it making it useless. Even if i could get over the vibration, it will never cut true or as it should again. Thanks for watching.

Here's a quick random video of a small single engine towing an AARP banner. I haven't seen one of these flying over in 10 years or so. They used to be a popular way to get the word out about businesses. Thanks for watching and have a great day!

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

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!

A Northeast tour modified was throwing sparks after a small wreck. Everyone involved was OK thanks to the safer barrier and thermal foam which lines the walls to take the brunt of an impact. This was at Lancaster Speedway in Lancaster New York. Thanks for watching!

Just a random mortar we set off after our trip to Pennsylvania.

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

Here is the custom bird feeder for a gentleman I made. The top flips open to make filling easier and makes it ideal to mount on a post as opposed to hanging it. I used high quality ten ply plywood and three quarter pine. The plexiglass still has the protective sheets on them so when the customer removes them after shipping, it will be clear. Next it will be getting a few coats of spar urethane and then packed and shipped. Thank you for watching and if you're interested in a feeder or bird house or other wood type items, let me know and we can get in contact and discuss what you want and a price.

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.

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.

Luke wants some homemade lasagna but he's gotta wait till I'm done to have his share. He'll put his nose right up to my food but he will not touch it unless I tell him he can or give him the go ahead look. He's such a good boy!
