yeah nobody cares about car stuff
0:23
all right does anybody here care about car stuff we don't know no i like car stuff
0:30
kind of i'm not not real okay well versed in it not like a mechanic or anything
0:35
but i know where the wrench is
0:38
i could probably identify like knowing it's half the battle
0:42
right all right everybody welcome back to another episode of the space tomatoes podcast with your
0:51
hosts me and that guy i'm havoc i'm alex hello i'm that guy nice to be here it is it is so so we
1:02
were we were kind of right before we do this sometimes we like fill the air with us just
1:07
catching up a little bit and it's like we should be recording this but we were talking about
1:11
you know shoes and stuff and and and running and then we got into the cobra conversation
1:18
from the last episode, which was pretty funny.
1:21
I wanted to make sure that that was, you know,
1:23
that was put up there in front, you know, like, yeah, I'm a dumbass.
1:27
So I have a feeling the person that sold it to me was a friend of mine.
1:32
His name was Darren.
1:34
And it wouldn't be, I don't know.
1:39
Anyway, I'm going to leave it at that.
1:41
I think I was being trolled in some way, but I don't know.
1:48
anyway uh yeah so one of the things he sell you a lifetime supply of blinker fluid with the car
1:54
and a uh no but he did have a a good deal on a door stretcher okay yeah yeah yeah i didn't want
2:03
it on the uh the muffler bearings guaranteed never to wear no no no it had different system
2:10
No muffler bearings need it.
2:16
Well, hey.
2:17
What I did find out is the reason is the automatic transmission can't handle, apparently, the power, right?
2:25
And something about the way the valves and everything and all this goes.
2:30
But they do have aftermarket kits for automatic conversions.
2:34
That seems like a lot of trouble.
2:36
yeah people seem to to have mixed reviews on them and i don't know why you would want to do that
2:42
unless you got a cobra and it became your daily driver and then it was like all right well because
2:48
the clutch isn't super light on that thing um yeah so if you're sitting there driving an hour
2:54
in traffic each way every day yeah it could be fun yeah if you don't like that clutch i got a
3:04
big piece of green junk in the backyard,
3:06
I'll introduce you to. Oh, no thanks.
3:08
That thing has a heavy,
3:10
heavy, heavy clutch.
3:12
Like two-footed clutch.
3:14
You're like reaching both legs.
3:15
Yeah, pretty much.
3:17
Yeah.
3:19
That thing's
3:20
pretty cool, though.
3:23
Mmm.
3:24
Cool enough, I guess.
3:26
Just a money pit.
3:28
I'm over it.
3:30
Then get rid of it.
3:33
Yeah, that's a lot of work, too.
3:34
Well, it's not that much work.
3:37
Okay, so for reference for everyone watching,
3:40
I know what this big green thing is,
3:42
but what is this big green thing?
3:46
It's a, technically the nomenclature used is a M35A2,
3:51
a deuce and a half, big army truck thing.
3:55
Oh, okay, so it's not a poop and a half.
3:58
Six wheel drive, what?
3:59
So when you say deuce, it's not like dropping a deuce.
4:03
No.
4:03
It refers to that it can haul two and a half tons of cargo off-road
4:08
Is that all?
4:14
It can probably hold more than that
4:15
Five tons on-road is what they say
4:18
I don't know, I've never had that much in it
4:20
Of course I told the wife, you know, like
4:22
Hey, let me buy this thing and we can get all kinds of mulch and stuff from Home Depot
4:26
She fell for that
4:29
And how much mulch have you gotten with it?
4:31
zero goose egg yeah but it looks cool it does look really cool i mean i mean i had i had good
4:41
intentions like you know i'd like to help her out but yeah yeah i don't know i bet you could put a
4:48
heck of a trailer behind that thing too i mean i don't know it doesn't go very fast and the brakes
4:55
suck so i mean i guess when it when it does work like the brakes the brakes are the biggest problem
5:02
because i don't know if you if you're familiar with cars so it has a single circuit brake system
5:09
normally vehicles have a dual circuit brake system which usually breaks up like the front
5:15
and the back into two separate systems so if you have a leak say in the back half you're still
5:21
going to have front brakes being a single circuit brake system if you have a leak in the brake system
5:27
you have zero brakes oh that's awesome yeah you know get like a 15 000 pound
5:33
you know big thing going down the road that you can't stop is kind of a little scary thought
5:39
makes it more fun i think right yeah here we go dude i went through the entire brake system i
5:48
replaced like everything on there and it was working perfect like i mean the thing was stop
5:53
on a dime and then the next time i get in it pedal goes right to the floor so i'm like dude i was just
6:01
over it and all the parts are heavy and they're you know like kind of expensive and they're you
6:05
know it's old and they're hard to find i'm just kind of they're not that hard i've had my fun with
6:09
it ready to move on to the parts aren't that hard to find nothing's probably better the the the from
6:17
my understanding from what i've heard from from other people that have owned equipment like this
6:21
it's not so much of the parts are hard to find it's that they're already attached to something
6:26
else and you have to remove them yeah yeah no i mean they do make um aftermarket replacement
6:34
parts the problem is is a lot of them are now made overseas and the quality isn't that great
6:41
in china yeah so you can buy new parts and they fail either immediately or shortly after being
6:49
installed and then you're back to square one yeah and something about a single circuit brake line
6:53
and replacing that with cheap crappy chinese parts that are going to fail on you
6:58
soon but we don't know when probably not great yeah i mean so just imagine driving your pickup
7:07
down the road and thinking like the next time you press the brakes they might not work except
7:12
your pickup truck weighs three times as much as it does yeah yeah like hey i don't know timu
7:19
parachute works works for anywhere between three and 25 openings yeah i mean we don't know thankfully
7:26
the thing only does like 45 50 miles an hour so like it's not like you're going like super fast
7:32
but still that doesn't matter it's like a train right oh it's only going five miles an hour that
7:38
doesn't matter you know yeah you're not gonna like stick your foot out and do a flintstones thing no
7:43
they're gonna happen no and it's gonna go through a lot of you know regular consumer vehicles before
7:50
it comes to a stop it probably wouldn't even get a dent on it but it probably mangle some oh yeah
7:56
Well, and with the height of the vehicle, you'd probably be up on top of a number of them.
8:04
Probably.
8:05
Yeah, bad idea.
8:06
Bad thing.
8:07
Is there not a conversion kit that puts it into a dual circuit mode or something?
8:12
Sure.
8:12
Anything's possible.
8:13
You don't have 25 grand laying around to fix this thing up?
8:16
Yeah, no, I mean, there are guys putting together kits that utilize parts off of like Ford heavy-duty vehicles and stuff.
8:26
So, yeah, I mean, it's possible.
8:27
It just takes money.
8:29
Yeah.
8:30
Money that I do not have, nor do I wish to invest in something like this.
8:37
It's not investing.
8:38
Hobbies are not investments, mostly.
8:41
Some can be, but even those aren't investments.
8:45
you know like stamp collecting you can say stamp collecting is an investment but it's not maybe no
8:52
it's not i don't know no if the market desires what you have sure you can make money off of it
8:59
but if the market just decides we don't want that anymore you have stamps that's what you have you
9:04
have invested in paper with sticky stuff that's it it's all you remember back in the 90s all those
9:12
people that invested in in beanie babies i do i do actually i mean they had like stacks of those
9:19
things like rooms full of them totes and the price did go up on them pretty crazy and people
9:25
like i'm gonna hold on to them they're gonna be worse so yeah and then it just tanked they're like
9:29
baby what who cares yeah i mean imagine there's like you know 12 collectors out there that are
9:36
like oh i just need one more for my set you know what i mean but remember those plates they used
9:42
to sell i forget the name of the company like franklin mint or something oh yeah yeah yeah yeah
9:48
you know limited edition collector's plate yeah the commemorative plates and all that kind of
9:54
stuff yeah our parents were weird very very weird people they had cabinets full of crap they're like
10:02
look at all these ceramic figurines that I have that I've collected over the last 60 years.
10:09
And you're like,
10:09
no, my parents are still very much around and they still have cabinets full of crap.
10:14
Well, and I say this and then I look at your background.
10:20
Exactly.
10:21
So like, yeah, we're like, yeah, we've got all,
10:23
I've got this cabinet full of all this digital stuff over the ages.
10:27
And they're like, yeah, we've got this cabinet full of, you know.
10:30
all right so we're all weird i guess in our own little way yeah i guess does any funny thing like
10:37
go ahead no i've had that conversation with my parents and you know they're like well this is
10:43
worth this much and i'm like well sell it like take a trip or something like don't leave it to
10:49
me because i have absolutely no interest in it whatsoever i've already told them like half
10:54
jokingly that when they ever, you know, take that trip to not being alive anymore, that
11:02
I'm having a big yard sale and I'm going to have like a $5 entry fee with a shopping bag
11:09
and all you can fill.
11:11
See you later.
11:12
You should actually, those figurines, my grandparents.
11:15
Well, they're not figurines.
11:16
They're like all kinds of other junk, but yeah.
11:18
Whatever.
11:19
Like the ceramic stuff.
11:21
Some of that can be fairly valuable.
11:23
Like I took some to a antique shop one time and I'm sure I got jacked royally because I had no idea what I had, but I still got 500 bucks for like one figurine.
11:37
Oh yeah.
11:37
They hosed you then, huh?
11:39
I'm sure.
11:39
I'm sure.
11:40
I'm sure it was more, but you know, Hey, at the time.
11:43
And so garage sale for five bucks or like, just take it to an antique place, like just a real quick trip.
11:49
Yeah.
11:49
And if the guy's like, oh, yeah, I'll give you a few hundred bucks, take it to a different one.
11:55
And see what they say.
11:57
Fair enough.
11:58
Or look it up.
11:59
You know what I mean?
12:01
Or I could deal with putting it on Marketplace and dealing with all those Looney Tunes on there.
12:05
No, no, no, no, no.
12:07
Auctions.
12:08
Auctions are great.
12:09
Here, you take this.
12:10
You auction it off.
12:10
I'll take whatever money I get.
12:12
It's awesome.
12:13
You drop it off.
12:15
Done.
12:16
It's a done deal.
12:17
Do they have auction houses around you?
12:19
like local stuff not for that kind of shit but yeah you want a tractor or an excavator or an
12:26
implement or you know a hay baler yeah we got auctions for that but auctions for like that no
12:33
no charlotte probably yeah charlotte probably does yeah yeah they do around here my neighbor like
12:39
come he finds some weird crap and i'm like where did you get that and he's like the auction
12:44
auction like yeah yeah we we do have we do have other auctions out here that are kind of interesting
12:55
so they will do at the auction house once a week they do a household goods auction And so they just they get you know containers of whatever and blah blah blah
13:08
And so you'll get like, you know, I don't know, whatever, cleaning supplies for like two bucks or something.
13:16
You get, you know, canned goods and stuff like that.
13:20
And they have another one that's a food auction or a little auction off food.
13:23
local farmer grown mainly but some of it's you know for some of it's uh you know store food and
13:32
stuff like that bulk purchases yeah right okay but yeah have you seen those um those stores that
13:41
sell like i guess they're probably like amazon returns they got like big pallets of stuff that
13:46
you dig through yeah like my father-in-law loves going to them things he's come home with some
13:51
interesting finds but it's like cheap and the one that he goes to i guess it starts off at like 10
13:56
bucks and then the next day it's like eight bucks and it works its way down but he goes on like the
14:01
dollar day he actually brought me a couple uh like cobalt ratchets that he bought for a dollar nice
14:07
like they didn't work but they have a lifetime warranty you know at lowe's so i brought it back
14:12
and got new new ratchets yeah that's a good deal right there yeah for a dollar yeah you can't beat
14:18
that yeah i had a friend uh when i was probably early 20s late teens early 20s they had actually
14:26
had a business of doing and i saw the tv they have a tv show on this but he had a business he would go
14:32
to all the storage units and the people that like didn't pay their bill they like lock your storage
14:39
and then they just do an auction like and people just buy it blind whatever's in your storage unit
14:45
as theirs and they bid on it and he used to do this and he'd come up pretty good he said you know
14:52
wasn't wasn't great but he said it was kind of cool he got some really cool stuff out of it and
14:57
also you know made some money not a lot but made money i mean that sounds interesting to me i wouldn't
15:04
mind doing something like that but then you you know like you get to store the stuff you gotta
15:07
list the stuff you gotta oh it's market it yeah he's i wouldn't do it i wouldn't do it for nothing
15:13
deal with people that's it's not even really people because there's he said usually it's a
15:19
pretty small crowd there's like 15 20 people that typically show up you know unless you're in certain
15:24
areas he said more people come but most of the time it's it's pretty light crowd he said the
15:30
biggest thing though is once you purchase this you have a set amount of time whatever it is
15:36
to clean that unit out okay and while some of these units are you know yeah okay we stored our
15:45
stuff and we got all these boxes some of them look like so a bomb went off and it's it's bad
15:52
is what he was telling me yeah you know and he's and you're responsible for getting rid of it good
15:57
bad or ugly all of it yes exactly so and he's like i've had i've had some really bad times with
16:04
this really bad like you know had to go down hire day laborers to come do it for him because he was
16:10
like yeah i can't i am not going i'm not doing that yeah yeah that must like it must be frustrating
16:17
when you buy something there's like like a bunch of totes and you think it's like good stuff and
16:21
then it ends up being like 40 years of national geographic magazines and newspapers or something
16:27
right some hoarding collection like yeah i have like a bunch of homemade you know like vcr recordings
16:35
of pbs are like man what do i do with this right what are you gonna buy that or someone that was
16:40
entrepreneurial and you like you you get the thing and you open it up and it's like you know
16:45
two million bobbleheads of some obscure figure and you're like what am i doing with this
16:53
i saw i saw one i forget where i watched it but like they thought they were getting like there
16:59
was a bunch of empty uh firearm cases in there and they're thinking like oh they didn't know
17:04
they were empty though they were just firearm cases and they're like man no we're gonna hit
17:07
the lottery here and then you know like everyone was empty like great did you hear about the dude
17:14
and i i'm just gonna throw the info out here because i'm i'm 99 sure i've got the the facts
17:22
right on this but look it up if you want the reality of the situation some dude went and did
17:30
an auction thing or something you know a mil surplus auction or whatever and bought a large crate right
17:36
got the thing took it home pop this crate open and the crate is literally full of mil spec m4s
17:45
full auto m4s did he keep them obviously not if it's reported yeah you can't it's it's illegal
17:54
but i mean you know that's kind of one of those ones
17:58
yes sir there were 27 guns in that 30 gun crate i don't know what happened to the others
18:05
i wouldn't doubt it i mean there's some really cool like military surplus crap out there that's
18:13
like ancient that's just sitting in a crate oh yeah yeah yeah they thought there were have you
18:18
ever been to a military surplus place like they're not as good as they used to be some are it depends
18:24
on where you are right i mean if you go to like a military town you'll you'll find more like good
18:32
surplus stuff typically not always but typically um but yeah some of them like the ones we have
18:39
here even though we're surrounded by military bases are kind of i mean they're okay it's kind
18:45
of cheesy it's more like walking into an old war museum or something you know what i mean you're
18:51
like hey look i've got this world war ii maybe vietnam era gas mask like that's pretty cool no
18:58
i mean it sometimes the stuff is is it's interesting but it's not valuable like like i
19:05
mean what would you do with a crate of like 500 mirror brackets for a very specific military
19:11
vehicle that you know like like i actually found like this place that had like an entire big crate
19:18
of mirror like to just support brackets a little rod like this for my truck but like who else would
19:25
use them i'm sure they're still sitting there 20 years later like who would buy them yeah scrap
19:30
i don't know scrapper i guess yeah yeah smelter maybe a scrapper other than that i you know maybe
19:36
someone that does forging or something cheap cheap metal yeah but it's the paint's probably
19:41
carcinogenic i'm sure but it's also probably cheap metal you know what i mean oh i'm sure
19:48
it's made by the cheapest bidder you know to produce them which which then they charge the
19:53
us we right the folks uh you know probably 50 times what it actually was worth you know same
20:04
damn exact thing sold to a consumer like you know yeah 14 sold to government 1400 dollars you know
20:14
yeah no well i mean they used to sell the there's not i don't know i'm not really that much into it
20:20
but they'd have vehicles and, you know,
20:23
they sell for a couple grand,
20:24
but it had an original price tag with $250,000.
20:28
They charged the government for it.
20:30
Yep, yep.
20:31
Crazy.
20:32
Like, you know what I wouldn't mind having?
20:34
A tank.
20:37
I knew you were going to say tank.
20:39
Well, you can put, like, you know,
20:41
hitch stuff on it so I can use it as a tractor.
20:44
Let's get a bulldozer.
20:46
It's much more practical.
20:47
Well, I could do that too, probably.
20:49
Parts are readily available, usually.
20:52
Yeah, yeah.
20:54
I mean, we're good as a, you know, I mean, you got the big gun on the tank, but you can't get any rounds for it.
21:00
We could just, we'll just pull the barrel off and put a potato gun on there.
21:07
Shooting potatoes.
21:11
It's always fun.
21:12
So back when we were talking about those figurines and stuff, here's an interesting one.
21:16
Like pretty much everyone had like a curio cabinet or a China cabinet, I should say.
21:26
Right.
21:28
And silverware.
21:31
Right.
21:32
Even just a small set.
21:34
Everyone kind of seemed to always have like, you know, there was the silverware that came from, you know, generations ago in a box.
21:42
Right.
21:43
You know what I mean?
21:44
In a little box.
21:44
Yeah, my parents have that too.
21:46
Yeah, and China.
21:48
Nobody does that anymore.
21:51
No.
21:51
What's up with that?
21:55
I don't know.
21:57
Do we not like fine China anymore?
22:00
What happened to all the China?
22:01
There was a lot of China in circulation.
22:03
I know, because every house I went into had China in it.
22:06
Where did it all go?
22:08
Yeah, I've been offered several sets that I've refused.
22:12
I don't know what to do with it.
22:14
Where'd it go?
22:15
though you don't see it anymore i haven't seen china in a person's house in i don't know a long
22:22
time where'd it go at the thrift stores waiting for someone to come along and say that's what i
22:29
need right there it probably is think about that it was so like prized it was like this cherished
22:36
possession and now it's just thrift store dirt that's weird weird yeah
22:45
yeah i bet they melted all the silverware down do you have nice silverware
22:50
no like in a box with the you know velvet lining and all that stuff no no no my dad my parents did
23:02
my dad did um but i i'm i'm not certain where that ended up running off to there was a lot of
23:11
things that ran off apparently so probably spend more time like polishing that stuff than actually
23:17
using it i'd imagine yes i did yeah yeah we my my father was a big fan of dinner parties
23:25
and so i i got to polish silver
23:29
nice enough let's just put it that way quite enough and it was always like terrible the next
23:36
time um and yeah emily post book on manners and and etiquette and uh you know how to set like a
23:47
full place setting you know full table uh and stuff like that yeah usually that was that was
23:55
my punishment for doing things that i probably shouldn't have done in retrospect but it seemed
24:02
like a good idea at the time nice yeah you know hey what are you gonna do as a kid you just
24:10
do kids stuff man you know but i'm still that's just weird nobody cares about china anymore i
24:18
mean they care about no china but not china right it goes back to the whole booster seats for 16 and
24:28
under i was just thinking that like um really come on now i did get the side eye from uh
24:37
mrs lx when i was talking about the height requirements for use of a booster
24:41
she didn't seem to appreciate that comment yeah well you know hey
24:52
yeah yeah it was warranted though you probably was you probably you probably warranted uh more
25:00
often than you get it i know i do
25:04
anyway that's that so what are you guys gonna do not allowed to talk about any fun stuff anymore
25:12
yeah we'll talk about what we want yeah whatever it's just talking about stuff i'm not like you
25:21
know so yeah next thing someone's gonna come up with a safety device for rubber bands because
25:28
is people keep snapping themselves with them.
25:30
They're like, oh, we need a safety device.
25:33
It's probably the same reason why we have switches on the seats of tractors
25:38
that make them turn off when you lean a little too far.
25:41
Probably.
25:42
Somebody did something sometime.
25:45
Although that one I kind of like.
25:47
I can get up off my seat, right, when the tractor running,
25:52
doing all that stuff.
25:53
There's no issue with that.
25:54
But if you lean in your chair like that it goes That a condition for you know a potential rollover or Hey you know a lot of times I out there in the tractor I out and it summer and I out in the sun and it hot and everything else
26:11
I mean, it's not beyond the realm of imagination that, you know, some of these people fall out of their seat, you know, kind of faint, pass out, whatever.
26:22
and if you if you do that it doesn't cut off whatever implement you got behind you you're
26:29
about to shake hands or legs with and it's not going to be good you know like that tiller i can't
26:36
imagine what would happen if you put your arm in there but i imagine it wouldn't be pretty
26:41
probably lose an arm i would guess yeah so or the the brush hog yeah you're definitely losing a limb
26:49
there there's no question about it it's gone and not not with like a nice sharp mower blade which
26:57
by the way isn't that sharp but it's it's phenomenally sharp compared to a brush hog
27:02
which is just a big plate of metal that is just a big hammer yeah yeah it's it's it's a big metal
27:09
plate it's it is sharp in this on one end but it's more like just rounded up a rounded point
27:18
if you will it's just it's so heavy and it's swinging so fast that you know it'll cut through
27:25
a tree branch that big around a tree just run up over and just just takes it out so
27:32
and your arm is not that strong
27:34
well i mean on the upside it probably wouldn't hurt immediately it'd probably take a few seconds
27:42
this is true yeah it might even not hurt for like an hour or so as you're in shock bleeding out in
27:48
the field never yeah i thought that yeah i'd like to stay away from those kind of situations
27:56
same same so i i don't mind the seat piece because of the fact that it allows me the freedom to get
28:03
out of the seat and do stuff like that if it didn't allow that that i would disable but because
28:10
it's only you know if i like here's the arm of my chair you can't see it but what i'll do a lot of
28:16
the times is this you know because you you can't really i can't really see behind me you know and
28:25
so when you lean over like that especially if you're going through a gate or something and you
28:28
only have like an inch on each side of an implement uh tractors when they touch stuff the stuff goes
28:37
away okay like like i touched our shed and it knocked out the studs on the inside of the wall
28:45
pushed a hole through the wall and i literally just barely touched it so you got to be a little
28:51
bit more cognizant of what you're doing so anyway i leaned over yesterday as i was going through the
28:55
gate to make sure i had enough room and damn it put a neutral i mean the problem was your
29:03
battery was crapped out yeah no you couldn't restart it yeah so we jumped it it took a long
29:09
well to jump it um and then uh once we got it jumped we got it emptied out the bucket emptied
29:16
got it out of the yard and as i was coming through the gate to get out onto the driveway
29:21
from the backyard uh that's where i leaned over to look and it died on me and i was like
29:29
and then we put in neutral my wife and i pushed the tractor that's that's a good push right there
29:37
like doesn't like to move um they're heavy i guess big steel things i think so yeah and then
29:46
we wanted to find a battery and and the battery has a specific form factor right and they like
29:52
they call it you know the battery form right and so we end up going the group size group size
30:00
that's it yeah and that's the form factor for the battery to sit in its little area or whatever
30:05
So we ended up going to O'Reilly Auto Parts and then we went to AutoZone and then we, or no, O'Reilly Auto Parts.
30:14
Then we went to Tractor Supply and then we went to AutoZone and then we went to Advanced Auto Parts.
30:21
And then we went to Monroe Hardware and then we went to Agra Supply, which had a battery, but it wasn't the right one.
30:34
but it was so close.
30:35
I was like,
30:35
we can use this,
30:36
but the terminals were on the opposite side and the cables coming out are about
30:41
this long.
30:42
Number one.
30:43
So,
30:44
and then the other thing is it has an overhead shroud.
30:47
So you tilt the battery out to pull it out.
30:50
And if the terminals were on the other side of the battery,
30:53
when you tilted it in,
30:54
the terminals wouldn't go in under that shroud.
30:57
I don't think.
30:58
And if they did any kind of bumping or anything,
31:01
you're going to be hitting battery on metal.
31:04
and probably bad.
31:07
You know something funny, though?
31:08
You told me the size of the battery that you were looking for,
31:11
which was a 24F.
31:13
Yes.
31:13
Right?
31:15
You want to hear something funny?
31:17
There's like 400 of them right next to you.
31:20
Guess what size battery my car takes?
31:24
24F.
31:25
Exactly.
31:26
Dude, no way.
31:28
Yep.
31:28
I thought it sounded familiar, and then I'm like, no, really?
31:32
Yeah.
31:33
my battery actually took a crap while i was up visiting you one year and i had a little fun
31:38
finding one oh yeah yeah i was amazed i'm like come on it can't be that hard to find this freaking
31:46
battery you wouldn't think so so it's not it's not like an uncommon size i would think lots of
31:50
it's kind of vehicles use that it's far less common it's it's a if you looked at a regular
31:56
car battery right it's it's the same basic width right i mean they there are bigger and smaller
32:04
ones but the same basic width right but the depth of this particular form factor is only like two
32:11
thirds of the depth of a normal car battery right and that's that's where the problem comes in like
32:17
i can find all kinds that would work but they won't fit and then finding that particular form
32:24
factor with the terminals on the right freaking side it's like come on we were this close i'm like
32:31
i'm looking at you i'm like it's it's like a you know quarter of an inch on one side it's got the
32:38
amps it's got all the specs i need you know it's just freaking dang it i can't reverse
32:45
terminals on that thing batteries are super expensive these days i don't know why probably
32:50
like 200 bucks right yeah like 160 180 bucks yeah for a for a battery that'll last you two to three
32:59
years max yeah maybe yeah well it'll last you two to three years they put the warranty on there
33:05
you're either going to buy a one two or a three-year battery and if you buy a one-year battery
33:11
you have one year of life two year two years no that warranty yeah that's trust me they know
33:17
right they're not dumb they know this one year battery will last about 13 months
33:22
on average you know some people are going to get in there and get a prorated little bit of
33:28
you know cash for their next battery oh it died at 11 months but most of the time it's going to
33:34
last about 13 14 months somewhere around there and it's going to it's going to die you get a
33:38
two-year battery you get about a month two months after the two years as an average and it's going
33:45
to die in three years same thing they're out to get you it's it's planned obsolescence man and and
33:54
you you what isn't though you have to be able to understand this when you go buy you go buy a new
33:59
car which i don't recommend anyone does but when you do freaking 15 20 years on the dang battery
34:10
fine i don't think it goes that long too maybe seven my acura was 18 years old before i replaced
34:19
the battery no way i swear never never once had it i all the way up until i was living at this
34:25
house what yeah yeah that's crazy yeah i've never heard of such a thing yeah well over 15 years for
34:36
sure well over yeah wow yep so it's one of those things and then once i replaced it we'll just buy
34:45
another one of those once i get right where you find one man that's that's the thing i i would
34:51
i'd pay four hundred dollars for one of those i would because they they last and i don't know why
34:56
i wish i wish someone could come on here you're a mechanic dude tell me why tell me why there's
35:05
only a couple manufacturers of batteries but they make them the different uh price points
35:10
specs different specs for different customers so like i think there's either two or three
35:16
manufacturers of batteries and they slap stickers on them like yeah but johnson controls is one and
35:23
i don't know but you can't find the oem batteries yeah they are the ones at the dealer aren't the
35:29
same i don't think right they are oem you know branded and i get it that's just branding but my
35:36
experience has been they last way longer than the batteries you can go buy as a replacement
35:43
yeah i mean even if it was only seven years that's still over double the time you're going
35:50
to get from the best battery you can buy my my experience has been that way with brakes i don't
35:57
know why they last so long like the first breaks and then the next ones are like you know like i
36:02
get 80 000 miles before i do the first break job and then like the next one lasts like 20 30 25 i
36:10
don't know kind of weird china probably yeah it's china yeah i think the oems actually have like
36:22
you know they're like yeah you know let's pump this back up let's just do that for this one and
36:27
these are our oem only models you know what i mean don't sell them anywhere else well i know even
36:32
toyota does have even if you buy your brakes at the dealer they have a couple different lines i
36:37
got like the value line and then the expensive line they don't tell you that like they just
36:43
want to give you the cheap stuff because they think people don't want to pay for the expensive
36:47
stuff yeah brakes are when it's available brakes are one of those areas where i would say go with
36:52
you know the more expensive stuff typically the cheaper stuff you're going to get brake squeal
36:59
and heat issues and all kinds of problems dust yeah lots of dust yeah yeah and and it's just
37:09
the brake squeal to me is the most annoying part of that really is dude that's just oh i hate that
37:17
A lot of that has to do with the installation method.
37:23
Really?
37:24
It's not just the cheapest stuff that came out of the train.
37:28
Oh, no, that has something to do with it, too.
37:29
Yeah, right?
37:30
Yeah.
37:32
A lot of guys, they just do a pad slap, throw some pads in there, throw a bag on the car.
37:37
Yep.
37:39
That's what most people want, I think.
37:41
They want to get out of there with the cheapest.
37:43
Cheap.
37:43
Yep.
37:44
Cheap as they can.
37:44
and what they don't understand is,
37:46
look, you can sit there and, you know,
37:48
this is the old, I don't remember the actual adage,
37:51
but, you know, you can do it, you know,
37:54
you can sit there and pay for it cheaply, repetitively,
37:59
or you can pay for it once and get the good stuff.
38:05
At the end of the day, the cheaper stuff
38:07
will cost you more money over time.
38:11
Usually it will, yeah.
38:12
Yep.
38:13
So.
38:14
Mm-hmm.
38:14
And break's kind of one of those things you probably want working at all times.
38:18
Yeah.
38:19
Yeah.
38:21
Mm-hmm.
38:24
That's Break Talk 101 today.
38:26
Yeah.
38:27
Yeah.
38:28
We'll be back after this break.
38:31
We don't take breaks.
38:33
Okay.
38:34
Well, hey, if we did, we'd be back now.
38:38
You wouldn't even have noticed that we took a break.
38:40
Maybe.
38:41
Maybe.
38:42
I probably would.
38:44
I'd end up trying to figure out how to get right back in the exact same position
38:47
with my eyeballs in the same place so it didn't go, fleek.
38:53
I wouldn't worry about it too much.
38:56
Yeah.
38:56
So we got some fencing done yesterday Oh you did All right Yeah Well we were going to do Barring the tractor issues issues yeah we were gonna do an area that we got that we need to restring and repower um and unfortunately the tractor
39:12
was necessary for that i have to brush off the whole area um so that didn't happen but we had
39:19
had our top line uh one of these these i don't really like them but there's a there's a bunch
39:26
of different insulators okay we use electric fence and so when you connect electric fence
39:32
typically you're going to have t posts and you know uh you know standard posts round posts etc
39:38
that are made out of wood well electric can't be touching any of that stuff right or it you know
39:43
it'll ground out and you lose power and it's just not not the way you want to do it so um
39:50
the little insulator basically has plastic typically instead of ceramic some of them use
40:00
ceramic not often but it has a plastic base that you screw onto a post and then these metal clips
40:06
that kind of come off of it you attach the fence line to these metal clips well that plastic clip
40:11
had broken so our top line around the whole front pasture was just kind of sagging um so we basically
40:19
took that and replaced all that and rewired it into the back pasture and you know all that good
40:25
stuff and i think today we're going to try and do the other two runs for that we would have done all
40:31
of it yesterday but we spent so much dang time running around trying to find a freaking battery
40:37
i just don't understand how is it that i mean like literally
40:44
what was the hard part of that like you don't nobody has a 24f why why is that a thing
40:52
did you google and uh do the shopping thing and see if there was one close to you did it say
40:58
nothing nothing nothing close all online orders wow yeah which was weird i i thought the same
41:06
thing did try that though and we like i said we went to multiple places and we we looked around
41:12
And they're like, no, no, I don't have anything.
41:14
No.
41:16
So.
41:19
If you had a manual, it must be, you have a hydrostatic, don't you?
41:22
You could push start it.
41:24
Yeah.
41:25
I don't think so.
41:27
Getting that thing rolling at like a tenth of a mile an hour was extremely difficult.
41:35
And we live kind of in the Piedmont type of region.
41:41
the Piedmont region-ish of North Carolina.
41:45
So there's not like a hill.
41:47
We'd have to go push it to the top of the back pasture.
41:51
I don't know that that would work anyway, honestly.
41:54
Although I could put the tow rope around the bucket
41:57
and pull the tractor with the truck.
42:00
But again, it's hydrostatic, so it's not going to do anything.
42:04
Can't do that with a manual or an automatic, unfortunately.
42:09
when i was a kid i tried it i didn't know any better didn't work i will tell you this lesson
42:15
i am glad that it was just the battery because when i was starting it was doing this i sent
42:22
lx a video of this because he's my mechanic friend and he knows mechanic things maybe sometimes
42:28
sometimes but anyway i started it and it was doing this click click click click click click
42:34
click click click click click click click click click and i was like classic battery did i pull
42:41
teeth off my freaking starter or something you know what i mean like it wasn't quite it almost
42:47
sounded like it just wasn't quite catching on the teeth and then it would catch which i've had
42:52
happen before but that was on an old camaro i think do you get one of those battery jumper boxes
42:58
no just jumper cables they're they're pretty nice they're small they're lightweight now they
43:04
get like lithium ion ones like dude that one i had like and when i had a service truck you know
43:10
like it was like a suitcase the thing weighed like 100 pounds yeah now they're like this
43:15
you can almost fit in your back pocket almost yeah almost um no i don't have one of those that
43:22
I probably should.
43:26
I looked at them yesterday.
43:28
I was looking at them going, we should probably get one of those.
43:30
But, you know, you do have to charge them.
43:34
Yeah.
43:34
So if they're not charged.
43:35
I think lithium ion stays for a while, though, before it gets charged.
43:38
It should.
43:39
It should.
43:40
Yeah.
43:41
It'd probably not be a bad thing to have.
43:44
I have a good little, you know, tire compressor.
43:47
That's nice.
43:48
so that probably wouldn't be a bad thing to have in each of the vehicles
43:53
you you know what you need to put in your toolkit for that tractor is a couple cans of ether and
44:01
some matches for when you need to set the bead back on the rim right uh i have it
44:06
i don't keep it on the tractor but i have it it's in the garage
44:11
and a broomstick with a rag tied to the end of it because i am not standing next to that thing
44:19
when it goes oh come on it ain't gonna hurt you burn the hair off your arm a little bit
44:24
yeah i don't know you know i've seen tires pop before that seems like a pretty explosive event
44:30
when i've seen them we tried it on my on the tractor when that happened didn't work
44:36
you were doing it wrong i'm sure we were we were being very conservative with our use of the ether
44:44
stuff is insanely flammable man you need to hose it down like you're spraying like a wasp nest with
44:52
you know a can of bug spray yeah i'll let you do it next time you get that air on it straight away
45:00
when you come to pick up the puppy i'll let you do it that's all right come on
45:05
I'll give you a match
45:07
I mean I'd show you
45:08
No brain stick for you
45:09
You do it with a match
45:10
I'd make my wife do it
45:12
I'd be like
45:13
I'll spray
45:14
You get the match over there
45:16
It's fine
45:16
That's how
45:16
That's how our relationship works
45:19
Yeah
45:19
It'll be fine
45:20
Don't worry about it
45:22
Here let me tape your eyebrows
45:25
She doesn't mind
45:25
Real quick
45:26
Oh yeah
45:31
It just lit on fire
45:33
I mean it did make a good
45:34
boof but then it just was on fire and i was like okay let's not do this it'll stop burning when the
45:40
stuff burns off don't take long it took a little while mr safety it took i'm gonna call you mr
45:48
safety took longer than i wanted it to those tires are expensive man really expensive everything's
45:55
expensive no like rear wheels rear wheel tractor tires that's that's a whole level level of expense
46:03
different on tires very very different like your your car tires like the most expensive ones
46:10
still will not you're you they're not rated to fill them with liquid okay and then pressurize
46:18
them and then drive around on them these are the reason reason number 325 why that military
46:26
truck was not a good idea because it has 10 tires oh 10 large tires oh yeah i can't even what are
46:33
those like 250 each at least yeah and they're in a weird size that you can't just buy you know
46:40
of course tire store can you not retread those no really i don't think so you would think that
46:49
they have tubes in them they're tube tires so you got to get the tubes and the flaps and and
46:56
And then they're not technically split rims, but they have a locking rim.
47:00
They're not the ones that, you know, the widow makers or whatever they call them.
47:04
They're technically not those, but people get afraid of them.
47:08
Some tire places won't even deal with them.
47:10
Yeah.
47:13
Hmm.
47:14
Well, you would think the army would have made those, you know, retreadable.
47:21
Why?
47:21
They just buy new ones on your money.
47:23
Well, they're, okay.
47:24
There is that.
47:26
Duh.
47:27
What was I thinking?
47:28
I mean, these vehicles are literally designed to be maintained by an army of free labor and parts.
47:37
Yeah.
47:38
Free.
47:39
It's all free.
47:41
It's all free.
47:43
Yeah.
47:43
You want a prime example of government efficiency.
47:47
Here it is, right?
47:48
have someone put ten thousand dollars on their own their own money on a credit card a secured card
47:58
and give it to them say here you go then give them one with ten thousand dollars on it
48:05
but you're just giving them and see how they spend on each of those cards
48:11
government is given the card it's not their money they don't care they don't care
48:19
you know i mean it's just the truth you know you'll spend your own money a heck of a lot more
48:29
uh conservatively and appropriately than you will spend someone else's money that's that's true
48:39
but hey you know whatever here we are life moves on money gets spent so is that a little warmer
48:51
this week at least you're going out working outside yeah it was like i got my coat on
48:56
and everything yesterday to go work outside and i'm like next thing you know i'm stripped down
49:01
just a t-shirt it was like 61 oh nice yeah that's not bad at all no t-shirt weather
49:08
not normally like when we first come into winter that is not t-shirt weather but after being in it
49:16
for a while when it goes from 40 up to 60 you're like oh this is warm especially when the sun's out
49:21
you know you're outside working in it you know yeah we usually uh my wife has the weather app
49:28
and monitors the the weather of where our various friends live around the united states and
49:34
our nice iowa friends it's like six degrees there yeah yeah no i was talking to someone
49:40
from wisconsin the other day and they're like yesterday actually and they're like it's a
49:45
negative seven right now uh it's supposed to be negative 20 is our low but our high gets up to
49:53
negative one and i was like wow that's that sounds pleasant yeah if you're a polar bear
50:00
like i wouldn't want to get out of bed that's terrible yeah that's that's cold that's really
50:06
really brutally cold stuff hey man you know takes all kinds right people love that stuff i i couldn't
50:15
live in it i i just don't think i could i mean i could i'd be okay it's just not my preferred
50:21
method of chilling not my preferred method
50:26
i like to chill in warm weather not chill in the freezer you were looking at property in wyoming
50:35
what were you thinking yeah it's not quite that cold in wyoming it got pretty cold there
50:42
no not quite i mean it does get cold it'll spend a long time in the you know 15 20 range stuff like
50:50
that and it will get down into those temps but wisconsin's a whole different ball game man
50:55
it's freaking cold up there
50:58
really cold
51:00
our other friend in Michigan
51:02
it's pretty cold there too I guess
51:03
yeah and Wyoming's going to be
51:06
more wind
51:07
you know what I mean you got kind of a high
51:10
desert thing going on you're going to have more
51:12
wind and you know stuff like
51:14
that
51:14
and it was a thought we'll see
51:18
I think for now we're going to
51:20
we're kind of
51:22
like I like the south I think we're going to stay
51:24
in the south.
51:25
Me too.
51:26
And for now,
51:27
we're going to stay
51:27
right where we are.
51:28
We have no plans
51:29
at this point
51:30
to move now.
51:32
We look, though,
51:34
every once in a while.
51:35
So you never know.
51:37
We'll keep you
51:37
on your toes.
51:39
There you go.
51:40
Next year,
51:41
alapaca
51:41
might be some news.
51:44
But it probably won't.
51:45
Maybe.
51:46
It won't.
51:46
It won't.
51:51
No, prices are weird
51:53
right now.
51:53
and, you know,
51:56
this is not a great time to be making
51:57
a move like that, in my opinion.
51:59
I don't think it is.
52:01
Yeah.
52:03
So, we're okay.
52:05
doing well having fun the puppy is all healed up she's doing well yeah good yeah back to playing
52:13
with her sister yeah she's she's back to full routine having fun little whirling dervish
52:20
crazy little maniacal four-legged oh wait i'm sorry two-legged two-armed beast that's right
52:31
Come on now.
52:35
I'm still sticking with they got arms and legs.
52:38
They don't.
52:41
They don't.
52:44
Notice.
52:45
You're wrong.
52:45
Notice this.
52:47
You see this?
52:48
Right?
52:49
That's a hand.
52:50
You see how it articulates?
52:52
You see this?
52:53
Yeah.
52:54
If you were to hold your foot up and try and do the same thing, you can't.
52:59
Do you know why?
53:00
Foot goes on a leg.
53:01
hand goes on an arm i'll send you some videos of my cat she does the same exact thing oddly enough
53:09
all of the dog's feet look the same and they are dog's feet we call them paws not hands they're
53:20
paws so on their front appendages are those shoulders and elbows or do they have sure two
53:31
knees and hips well they have is that a hip they have elbows because their arms are their arms see
53:37
you got me no it's not a thing no it's not a thing it's not a thing yeah you said it uh their their
53:46
front appendages legs uh articulate differently they do it's a difference between an elbow and a
53:56
knee which way does your knee bend does your elbow bend in the exact same way no it does not
54:03
it bends the exact opposite way that's why they're called elbows and knees on dogs
54:09
because of the articulation has nothing to do with arms okay you're so silly you know just so
54:19
everyone realizes this all started with a meme right if if cats wore pants how would would they
54:25
wear them it's like the one's got the pant like you know all on all four legs right the other one's
54:32
got the pants like a human wearer just on the back legs and so this is where this whole thing started
54:38
from it originates from a meme and now it's this hotly contested thing about whether animals have
54:45
arms in the front and legs in the back or four legs and okay i you know what they are what you
54:53
believe they are that's what they are what about monkeys monkeys have arms how about rats
55:02
what about them what do they have legs are you sure i am they like eat their little squirrels
55:12
sure and they have legs too i don't know about that how about raccoons also legs but they're they're
55:21
Their, their, their front appendages are kind of a different one because, you know, yeah, they do have that articulable thumb.
55:30
I don't know, man.
55:36
It's okay.
55:38
I don't think I can agree with you.
55:39
So let's go back to the meme for a second.
55:43
Okay.
55:43
now
55:44
in a dog's world
55:48
the way they greet each other is
55:51
hey what's going on
55:55
they do not
55:55
they sniff butt
55:59
and if you put the pants on
56:01
the way you're talking about putting the pants on
56:03
you've literally destroyed the dog's entire
56:05
social life they'll never be able to
56:07
meet another dog ever
56:08
never ever again
56:10
however if you put them on appropriately
56:13
then the dog can meet other dogs so once again even the meme self-proves it's legs it's got to
56:23
be legs man it's all legs whatever makes you sleep better right all right we're gonna end this debate
56:36
here i'm just gonna leave it we're gonna have to go get some biologist or something to come in here
56:41
definitively answer this question there you go like hey man i just need you for like two minutes
56:48
for what you i can't tell you you just gotta come on this is very important
56:55
i can call up duke university find the biology professor
57:01
they don't probably have nothing better to do i'm sure no why you know what else are they doing
57:11
That's funny.
57:12
It's a good little...
57:13
My cheeks.
57:14
My cheeks are starting to hurt.
57:16
It's a good mind exercise.
57:17
It's kind of like the giraffe, right?
57:19
If you were leading a giraffe, would you put the leash around the top of the neck or the
57:23
bottom of the neck?
57:25
I mean, you don't put it around the bottom of the neck for the dog, right?
57:30
Put it around the top of the neck.
57:32
So which is it?
57:34
And they do have big necks, right?
57:35
And they're bigger as they go down further.
57:38
They do.
57:39
Yeah.
57:40
I kind of think you'd probably put the leash up at the top of the neck.
57:45
You would think.
57:46
Maybe.
57:46
If you can reach it.
57:48
Yeah.
57:49
Well apparently they put them in like you know barns these buildings and they have a full second story thing where they can feed them from the second story yeah well I don know if that commonplace or anything I saw one video so
58:03
I know I can't say that empirically in this one video I saw they had this okay but I have to
58:10
imagine it's the same right otherwise how do you check in on their heads or whatever you know like
58:19
make sure they're in good health or I don't know.
58:24
I probably will never have to worry about that.
58:27
Have you ever seen how those things fight?
58:30
Like the males fight.
58:32
They do.
58:33
And you know,
58:33
those little stubby little horns they have.
58:35
Well,
58:35
stubby,
58:36
cute actually.
58:37
But apparently they turn those into like some kind of a flail or something.
58:42
So they take their neck and they just wham and slam each other.
58:47
It's pretty interesting.
58:49
Yeah.
58:49
I never thought of giraffes as being, you know, like...
58:54
Violent? No.
58:56
Bruisers, you know.
58:57
Yeah, I'll mess you up.
58:58
I'm a giraffe, man.
59:00
I always think of them as, like, the really funny-looking thing
59:06
that just moseys around and eats leaves.
59:12
Now you know.
59:13
I do.
59:14
Don't mess with a giraffe.
59:15
They're very violent.
59:16
Or they can be, apparently.
59:18
Hmm.
59:18
I don't know.
59:20
I wonder if they can strike something like our size with their neck.
59:25
Probably if they want to do.
59:28
Maybe.
59:30
I don't know.
59:31
I'm not going to risk it.
59:33
I am not either.
59:34
I don't like horses.
59:37
I'm good with.
59:39
But, you know, animals that are as large as a giraffe, I don't really have any interest in.
59:46
I don't want to be around them.
59:47
I'm good.
59:48
I'll view them from a distance.
59:50
Yeah.
59:50
That's a big animal.
59:52
I hear those large birds like emus and stuff are pretty mean.
59:56
Can be.
59:57
Oh, yeah.
59:57
They can be for sure.
59:59
Yeah.
1:00:00
You know, you got ducks.
1:00:01
Those things are nasty.
1:00:03
I don't have any ducks.
1:00:05
Geese, sorry.
1:00:06
I have angry ducks.
1:00:09
They're geese.
1:00:10
And they are angry.
1:00:11
They are very angry.
1:00:12
Always very angry.
1:00:15
Which is, honestly, that's the reason they're there.
1:00:18
is to be angry, right?
1:00:20
Just angry.
1:00:21
If you're not part of like what lives down there with them,
1:00:25
the chickens and the turkeys,
1:00:27
and to a lesser extent the dogs and the horses,
1:00:31
then they're angry at you.
1:00:33
They don't like you.
1:00:34
They want to hurt you.
1:00:37
That includes us, and we feed them.
1:00:42
Although they're not.
1:00:44
What are you going to do, little goose?
1:00:46
They try to put on a good show, though.
1:00:48
They do.
1:00:50
They do.
1:00:50
And I mean, don't get me wrong.
1:00:52
If they get your finger or something, it's going to hurt and it's going to tear it up a little bit.
1:00:57
But, you know, other than that, if they grabbed you through jeans or something, you just get a little pinch, basically.
1:01:06
It's all right.
1:01:07
You just pick them up by their neck, hold them out like this because they flap.
1:01:12
And you just kind of look at them and have a little discussion with them.
1:01:14
Like, now, did that work out the way you thought it would?
1:01:17
do you think this is a good idea going forward you know you have a little discussion with them
1:01:22
you let them go and they go running off and leave you alone for a day or two i notice they they tend
1:01:30
to um get their courage up when you turn your back to them oh yeah they're little sneak attackers
1:01:38
that's the only time they have their courage up if you're facing them they're like they'll scream
1:01:42
at you you know honk you can call that a honk i'm sorry but if you ever stood next to you know more
1:01:49
than one goose or even one goose doing that that's not a honk it's screaming it literally is a very
1:01:55
high-pitched screeching yeah honking kind of a noise but it's terrible but yeah they they uh if
1:02:02
you're looking at them they don't really want anything to do with you the second you turn around
1:02:07
and start walking away, they get low and they come after you.
1:02:11
They're not very discreet in their attacks.
1:02:13
They're not like ninjas or anything.
1:02:15
They have big, goofy, goofy-ass flat feet.
1:02:19
They just go, flap, flap, flap, flap, flap.
1:02:20
You can hear them coming like so far away.
1:02:25
It's so funny.
1:02:26
And you just turn around and they're like, ooh.
1:02:30
Busted.
1:02:31
It wasn't me.
1:02:31
I wasn't doing it.
1:02:34
It's pretty funny.
1:02:35
They're cute, though.
1:02:36
They're fun.
1:02:37
They're fun to interact with.
1:02:39
You know.
1:02:40
A little difficult to converse on a phone call when you're down there, though.
1:02:44
They are very loud.
1:02:45
I can imagine.
1:02:46
Yeah, they come through.
1:02:47
The noise cancellation stuff, whatever it is, doesn't work on them.
1:02:51
Oh, wow.
1:02:52
Yeah, they have goosey superpowers.
1:02:55
Yeah.
1:02:56
Sonic superpowers.
1:02:58
Just crazy.
1:02:59
They are so loud.
1:03:01
They really are.
1:03:03
They are pretty loud.
1:03:04
it's like people don't you know you don't you don't think about it right because you've heard
1:03:10
them before but you've heard them flying over you at like you know they're like 500 feet away
1:03:15
you know when you're right next to them it's it's insanely loud it's hard to think
1:03:21
with them going yeah but they're cute
1:03:24
hmm yeah we lost a hen dang it no found one wing in the uh front pasture
1:03:35
what happened there don know predator large predator could have been like a fox or he could have been a fox maybe a raccoon coyote for for sure Could even have been a bobcat I don know
1:03:53
We heard one about a month and a half ago.
1:03:57
So we haven't seen one on property.
1:03:59
I know they're around, but not very common in our area, I don't believe.
1:04:05
But it could certainly be.
1:04:07
And we did hear one.
1:04:08
It's a pretty distinctive cry that they do.
1:04:14
Hmm.
1:04:15
All right.
1:04:17
Yeah.
1:04:19
I wouldn't mind having one of those for a pet.
1:04:22
That'd be cool.
1:04:24
Yeah, I don't know.
1:04:25
Bobcat.
1:04:28
I don't know if that sounds fun.
1:04:30
Outdoor cat.
1:04:31
I don't like indoor cats.
1:04:34
We have one.
1:04:36
And I like him.
1:04:37
He's cool and all.
1:04:38
I just wouldn't.
1:04:40
That's not my thing.
1:04:41
That's cats.
1:04:42
No.
1:04:43
I like dogs.
1:04:46
Dogs are cool.
1:04:48
Much better.
1:04:49
Yeah.
1:04:50
I like dogs.
1:04:53
I don't know.
1:04:54
You know, cats are okay, I guess.
1:04:56
I love Domino.
1:04:57
He's the best cat in the world.
1:04:59
But he is a good cat.
1:05:00
He's an outside cat.
1:05:01
I think that's what gives him even more, like, awesomeness.
1:05:06
Just, you're outside.
1:05:07
he's always there he comes up he loves getting petted he loves hanging out you pick him up put
1:05:13
him over your shoulder you know excuse me uh do all that kind of stuff and uh you know he uh
1:05:22
he loves it and he stays outside
1:05:25
he likes that too he like and it's cool because it's like he knows this property
1:05:33
is his home
1:05:35
because he roams all
1:05:36
I'm sure he does yeah
1:05:37
he roams all over the property
1:05:38
but doesn't
1:05:39
doesn't really go
1:05:40
past the property much
1:05:42
every once in a while
1:05:44
he'll go visit our neighbor
1:05:46
but other than that
1:05:47
he just hangs out
1:05:49
on the property
1:05:50
cool
1:05:51
it's like he knows
1:05:53
nice
1:05:55
yeah
1:05:56
so
1:05:57
that's a cool thing about cats
1:05:59
outdoor cats
1:06:00
the ones that live outside
1:06:02
I like our cats
1:06:02
oh i'm sure they're mostly okay yeah and they're cute they can be a little demanding when it's
1:06:09
time to eat yeah yeah at like 3 a.m yeah yeah
1:06:13
and the little bastards adapted they didn't used to sound like that apparently
1:06:21
and they figured out that if i mimic the sound of a human baby people wake up and then give me
1:06:28
what I want?
1:06:28
Oh.
1:06:29
Yeah.
1:06:30
Nice.
1:06:31
It's pretty weird.
1:06:33
Little rat bastards.
1:06:36
Telling you.
1:06:37
Telling you.
1:06:38
They're sneaky.
1:06:40
Yeah, even back in the Egyptian days, you see like the cats.
1:06:43
You have to wonder, you know, what was going on there?
1:06:47
What were you doing with those cats?
1:06:52
I don't know.
1:06:54
Probably companions, but I mean, they didn't put a, yeah, I guess.
1:06:58
birds and cats.
1:06:59
Can't they keep the vermin away from their food supplies?
1:07:04
Maybe.
1:07:05
Maybe.
1:07:06
It's possible, but then why would you have Pharaohs
1:07:09
sitting on thrones and stuff with cats there too?
1:07:15
Keep the cats off the throne?
1:07:17
Or the mice?
1:07:18
Maybe.
1:07:20
If you know, tell us.
1:07:22
Leave us a comment.
1:07:23
I don't know.
1:07:24
I guess we don't really know anyway, right?
1:07:28
It's all guessing.
1:07:29
You make educated guesses.
1:07:31
Everything's guessing.
1:07:32
Right?
1:07:32
That's what archaeology is, I think, right?
1:07:36
You can get an idea and you can go,
1:07:39
well, yeah, this looks like it's this
1:07:40
and it was used for this and blah, blah, blah.
1:07:44
But you could be way wrong.
1:07:48
Totally could.
1:07:49
Probably are.
1:07:50
Yeah.
1:07:50
You just don't know.
1:07:54
I don't know.
1:07:56
So what are you guys doing today?
1:07:59
I don't know.
1:08:00
Might go visit my in-laws today?
1:08:03
I'm not sure.
1:08:04
Oh, yeah?
1:08:06
It's a good day for a visit.
1:08:07
Sounds like it.
1:08:09
Pick some snap peas, sugar snap peas, maybe.
1:08:14
Oh, nice.
1:08:15
You guys got a bunch of those, right?
1:08:17
They grow fast.
1:08:18
They get a ton of them things.
1:08:19
Yeah.
1:08:21
My broccoli is still that tall.
1:08:24
it'll be that tall until spring if it lives and it probably will yeah but as soon as it starts
1:08:32
getting warm ish the cool thing is we'll have early harvest before everyone else is planting
1:08:38
this this stuff will come up and we'll have food so it'll be good yeah that's good
1:08:44
might have to make some sweet potatoes tonight
1:08:48
that sounds good i had some i had one last night oh yeah how was it it was excellent did you bake
1:08:57
it cube it roast it i did i baked it baked it nice now do you foil them or do you just
1:09:05
slice yeah what do you what do you do just wrap it in foil stick it in the oven
1:09:10
yeah they're pretty tasty put a little butter on it when i dig it out and that's about it
1:09:17
Someone told me to put them on the grill like I do normally.
1:09:21
Not always, but we bake them too.
1:09:24
Or cube them and put them in a pan for roasting something.
1:09:29
But someone told me to put them on a grill and just give them some slits.
1:09:33
And they will come out a little bit more a little less mushy A little more like a potato
1:09:44
Yeah, I think that's all she does, just put a couple of holes in them,
1:09:49
wraps them up in foil, and sticks it in there.
1:09:51
I put it on a tray, though, because they can get juicy.
1:09:55
Yeah, well, and that's where the person that was telling me that was like,
1:09:59
yeah, if you do this, they don't get as, you know, they're more firm.
1:10:03
They lose some of the moisture out of those slits.
1:10:06
All right, yeah.
1:10:06
And they said, don't wrap them.
1:10:07
Just put them on the grill, and they'll take it.
1:10:11
I'm like, okay.
1:10:11
All right.
1:10:12
So I haven't tried it.
1:10:13
I want to try it.
1:10:13
I'll have to do that and report it back.
1:10:14
Or the shot.
1:10:16
We'll see how it goes.
1:10:17
We also want to try doing some air fryer sweet potato fries.
1:10:22
So we'll see.
1:10:23
We'll probably big bust, but we'll give it a shot.

1:10:36
I like sweet potato fries,
1:10:37
but I'm not going to dip them in a crap load of oil and fry them.
1:10:43
I'm going to try and air crisp them.
1:10:47
We'll see.
1:10:49
I don't know.
1:10:51

1:10:56

1:11:04
more to say i'll probably say a lot of things throughout the rest of the day but as of right
1:11:08

1:11:13

1:12:23
which, again, I would love to if, you know, I knew that it wasn't going to eat our cat.
1:12:30
So, I mean, if somebody has a German Shepherd out there that they're looking for a good home,
1:12:34
I mean, I don't mind an older dog.
1:12:37
I'd be okay with that.
