 Did you see yesterday's vlog? It's a good one all about independence day freedom in America It's just great tons of kids birthday party good beer and yes fireworks So the vlog is starting at 4 15 p.m. Looking over at my clock great day Crazy a little bit of a catch-up mode. We were out till 10 30 last night insane We don't do that on my way to the filming event tonight, but yesterday the 4th of July I wanted to share this story with you this little tidbit in American history But I just ran out of time basically every year I share this story, and I think it just is a reflection of bigger things bigger things that we cannot see with our own two eyes, but that we know are out there in this world So what is it? Who were the two gentlemen who helped form the United States of America, you know 240 years ago 241 years ago? I believe Who are the two men that probably had the most influence? Okay? Maybe you could slip Benjamin Franklin in there. He definitely was big, but Arguably it was TJ and John Adams Thomas Jefferson and John Adams those two fellas threw down They they were good friends at the beginning enemies in the middle of their lives and best of buddies at the end But the little tidbit of history that nobody really knows about is that they died Yeah, they died they died. I know it's crazy. All right, hold on pull it in Park here. Okay part part tidbit of history by the way. We park safely. We're good. Okay. They died. They died John Adams died brain tree, Massachusetts TJ Thomas Jefferson died at his estate called Monticello in Virginia and basically This is a this blows my mind And it's just like a reflection of things that we cannot see and that we are not in control of but they died When did they die? Within hours of each other within hours of each other hundreds of miles apart from each other and once again They had become enemies in the middle of their life because of politics and they didn't agree on how the government should be run Specifically, but then toward the end they started writing letters to each other again and became friends again Through letters and through communicating and through sharing their story and their experience with each other And then they died in 1826 1826 within hours of each other on what day? July 4th July 4th the signing of the Declaration of Independence Which they had worked and strived so hard to form in the early days of the Republic and then they they they made it, you know 40 more years into their life And then they passed away within hours of each other, you know hundreds of miles apart Obviously no commute modern communication. Hey, by the way, I'm not feeling so well. How are you feeling TJ? Oh, you know, I couldn't be feeling better, but I think I might kick the can today. No, they're no communication and then They died on the same day and it was July 4th. Does that blow your mind? Okay, I studied history at CU Boulder in college. It's like that That's so this it just gets me riled up gets me riled up and it helps give me a little bit of inner peace for the future of this country and The fact that you know what? There's a hand there. There's a hand there at the beginning of our country. All right, that is all We've arrived at the filming location Getting set up We forgot I kind of forgot that we're filming outside Which is fine, but it's a little toasty So we have to deal with the the sunsetting on the speaker. So, you know, just a little added challenge little iso Juggle juggle match. So, but we'll be all right. We'll be all right. It's a beautiful location I was actually here last week for another talk. You probably remember that up there check out that vlog and Joe's throwing down getting his get getting the zoom on All right So I've got See I've got I've got a card Yeah It's 830 Sun is setting rapidly as you watch the time lapse go across your screen It was going all afternoon as I was now working. Thank you, mr Time lapse machine for getting the get in the sunset for you guys a little beauty, but I'm going racing home TS give you What could be potentially? one of the final updates for This won't cooler. I know I know But it's I do believe I actually figured it out this time and I'll show you why once I get home But I got a race home because the Sun is setting and what a bing-ba-da boom. This is I have figured out the leak Basically if the water level gets too high inside the in the pan of the swamp cooler It will start leaking into the house now. I have not found the actual leak I have not figured it out, but over the last four nights. I have come up here on the roof and I have Propped up the float so that no water can come in throughout the night because that was the issue Was that the the leak was happening especially at night when the water level was getting too high now I probably need to just get a whole new float in valve system It can't do it now because all the stores are closed So my temporary fix temporary is to lower the level of the drain on the front of the swamp cooler So that the water level will just it'll just drain on to the roof if the water level is coming up too High throughout the night does that make sense and then another issue popped up It's it's you know For the last week is basically the belt is getting too loose so I have a new belt I'm gonna try and put that on tonight as well Wish me luck. Wish me luck. All right home ownership. Love you. Love you home owners Seek beauty work hard love each other at least it's not gonna leak into the house tonight I look on the bright side glass half full The swamp cooler will not leak into the house tonight because I did that work on the drain valve But now I need to try and put a new belt on tighten it up by moving this so that I'll have to wait till tomorrow
