 minute. Make sure it's actually started. Think it started? It's got to be started by now. Yeah. Okay. So today, it's kind of like sunny and cloudy halfway in between. And a few days ago, I could not 3D print stuff. Unless it was like sunny. So two days ago is like, all right, I need to I need to increase my power in this house. And I was thinking of putting a solar panel on the roof. Another one I have one up there. And then I was like, wait a minute, there's a there's a hatch like on top of the top of the roof. And I could take that off and replace it with two solar panels. I was coming up with all these, you know, kind of like labor intensive complicated things. And I was like, you know what? The lumber mill is not that far away. Like the wire that goes up to my roof to get the solar panel up there is almost long enough to reach to the lumber mill. So I just got a pair of big wires and ran them out to the lumber mill. And I happened to have a I have a lot of wire because you know, there was a scrap guy in town who's now gone. I wish he was still there. But he would just have like, just mountains of wire sometimes not be like, Hey, can I buy that mountain of wire? You'd be like, All right, 20 bucks. I'd be like, Oh, really? So I have a lot of wire and I have to do the wire to the lumber mill. I have this this roll of wire. It's like this big. I think it's like four or two gauge, I don't know, somewhere around there. It's it's pretty thick. It's not copper, though. It's aluminum aluminum. But totally works. It's not quite as conductive as copper, but it's pretty good. What are you doing? All right, just just to make sure everyone knows no naked kids can come over here. Anyway, right? I've got I know there's at least one naked kid and one kid picking her nose and eating it. Yeah. Okay. No. It tastes great. Okay, anyway, having kids is so funny. It's like just having like little little miniature clowns all the time in your house. Oh, anyway, what was I talking about? Oh yeah. So anyway, I hooked up the wire to the lumber mill. And I was a little concerned the wires a little long, it wouldn't be good enough. But no, it's totally good. I have way more electricity now. And I can run this thing like all day. And oh, when I got this, I got a bunch of packages at once, right? And I made a video of it a few days ago. Because I know you guys love to see the package of videos sometime. Anyway, some people were concerned. Maybe concerned is not the right word. But some people were, I'm just gonna use the word concerned. Some people were concerned that I was getting all the presents and all the like, hey, don't touch that. And all my kids were just sitting around helping me open my presents and there was nothing for them. Well, first, this 3d printer right here is doing a five hour print of a My Little Pony, which I admit is for me because I love My Little Ponies. Now, obviously, it's not for me. Yes, I can hear my daughter back there saying now it's for me. Anyway, you want to see you want to see what I've printed with this thing so far? Okay, first, I did just the silly little boat that, you know, came on the card, because it was on there. And I was like, all right, let's just let's just make sure the thing works. And then I did my favorite thing because of 3d printers all for me. And then my son wanted a tank. So I let him go online and and look all over for tanks. Oh, and these are these are painted, by the way. Yeah, I have a I have a mostly used can of blue spray paint and the mostly used can of silver that I've just been milking them for months. Anyway, check that out. It came out pretty good. Nice. And this I just let them look on Thingiverse and find some stuff. But after they printed, oh yeah, and then I was wondering where that went, just they're holding it. And then I've got a this one's not printed or not painted. So you can't see the detail on it as well. But this is like really detailed horse. Unicorn, sorry, sorry. Unicorn, it's a unicorn with lots of flowing hair. So that's for this one over here. And then I was like, well, I'm going to print something for myself. So I printed a video game tank. It came out great. Anyway, I mean, I want to print robot machine parts to build some prototypes of something that I eventually want to build into a giant thing. But I haven't I haven't I haven't gotten to that yet. But that's fine. I had to do a bunch of you know, test, test out stuff, do some prints. You know, figure out the slicer program. Okay, hold on a second. What do you say? Oh, I did a good job on your book. Well, you want to go take it and play with it? Not this though, because you're breaking the tail off again. The tail on this is so skinny where it's connected. And not great for three year olds. So we're making sure the bigger kids play with that one. Oh, what was I talking about? Oh, yeah. So I had to do a bunch of like, you know, little prints anyway, just to just to figure out how the 3d printer worked and you know, see how it's going and everything. And one thing was that, well, it doesn't happen now, because now I'm using a big roll. But the 3d printer came with a you know, a little piece of filament that was just wrapped up kind of tight. And you know, that was coiled so tight that when it came down here, it kind of get caught on things. So I'd have to keep an eye and make sure it didn't get stuck. But it doesn't seem to be a problem at all with the with the full rolls. It just comes straight down. There's no tangle or anything. Another thing I wanted to test was, would you settle down? So I used that first piece of filament that just came with a 3d printer and printed all the stuff I just showed you. And then this morning I started printing another My Little Pony. But I knew I was going to run out of that that first piece of filament. But I took a soldering iron and melted it onto this one to see if I could do that, you know, see if it's going to mess it up if I just melt it right on the next one so it can continue right through. So I don't have to waste a piece, you know, works work totally fine. You know, I just took the two pieces of filament, got the got the the what's it called the soldering iron in there and just got got you know, the ends melty and and then just stuck them together real quick and then sand it off a little totally work fine. Yeah, I watched to make sure it went in and no problems at all. So when I run out of one filament, I can just melt the next one right on. And then I can get a bi colored item. What else is going on here? Let's make sure sure. So yeah, what I want to do is I want to start printing some machine parts soon. I do have a bunch of a bunch of old 3D printer files. Maybe maybe I'll print one of those because you know, I have those old spider tank toys that I made. And I don't have I don't have any of them. I don't have any of them here. But I do have all the files so I could I could print one out and make one here. All right, guys, you gotta get out of my ear. You're gonna you're gonna drive me crazy. Here, go go play. But then I want to I want to design a new thing and print a new thing. I want to I want to you know, make a bunch of new things potentially for prototypes that I then want to build build big. Anyway, oh, but for anyone who was concerned that I got all the presents and my kids didn't get any presents. I know a few people asked me if my kids have a have a wish list because all that all the most of those packages I got in the in the thing were things that were on my Amazon wish list. And either I just ended up buying them or or you know, you guys bought them and sent them to me and my wish list is down in the description down in the description here. So this morning, I put a bunch of stuff that my kids would be interested in. Well, one of my kids was sitting there saying, Oh, wow. So there's a bunch of there's a bunch of kids stuff on my Amazon wish list now. So for the people who are asking if I had a wish list for for my kids, it's just on the same one as mine. So I added a bunch of kids stuff. Presuming you're asking because you wanted to send them stuff. So if not, never mind. But if you want to send my kids any stuff. Oh, and if you want to send them something specific, actually like a week ago, a guy was like, Hey, I want to send your kids a game of go. You guys don't know about this yet, but it's coming soon. It's, you know, the game go, you know, it's kind of like checkers. But if you don't know what go is, you can look at them. But anyway, he was like, I want to send them to send us to your to your kids. Can you put it on your wish list? So I added to my wish list and he sent it. So if you if you want to send anything to my kids or I mean, if you want to send anything to me, just tell me and tell me to add it to the wish list and I'll put it on there. Anyway, what else is going on? Oh, the tide was, oh God, can't go pick your nose somewhere else. I've spared you the eating of the boogers. Anyway, the tide was super high this morning, like ridiculously high that went actually over my running trail. And I was like, Oh no, the tide's going over my running trail now because my running trail, I built it up pretty good. You know, the running trail, I made a video of it a few videos ago, just like running around the whole running trail. It was actually parts of it were underwater. And I noticed that because this morning I went running on it. And as I was running, I went I ran five kilometers on it. So as I was getting toward the end, parts of it were starting to get submerged in water. And I was like, anyway, and then after I was done, I went out look 10 minutes later and like significant portions were underwater. But then like 15 minutes later, the water was like this far below it. And I was like, what is going on? So I think I think what actually happened is today there is well this week, this whole week is a really big high and low tide for this area. I mean, the tides here are nothing compared to what happens in the Pacific. And the Pacific, it goes up like two stories here, it just goes up like, you know, a couple feet less than a meter is the distance. But I think what happened is, you know, I'm in, I'm in a bay in Panama, and the entire Caribbean is a bay too. So as the water, if the water comes in, as the tide's going up, if it's coming in fast enough, you know, it'll kind of hit the hit the end, and like, and then, you know, settle back down. So I think that's maybe what happened, like, as the tide was coming in, it got to the point where it was just like fluffing up, and then went back down because it went back down really quickly, like, like faster than the tide would move, you know, and it went up really fast. But anyway, yeah, there's kind of some crazy tides this week, like the maximum highs and the maximum lows are really high and low. What else do I want to talk about? Oh, yeah, I was thinking about the other day. This is something I've been thinking about off and on for a while. But I think I'm going to get someone to cut the wood for my second floor. And I'll get them to do it with, you know, with my logs on my land. But, you know, I want to do it all. But, you know, I'm building a camp. I'm trying to finish my house. I'm planting food. I've just, you know, I've just got a lot on my plate. And that's one thing that I can actually get someone else to do. And they can do a reasonable job. And probably what I'm gonna do, you're not picking your nose now. It's great. So, you know, I asked, and there's a guy who I can hire, like, per day, and like, for a day, he'll come with his chainsaw and cut wood. And he'll, like, you can identify the trees. This is another reason I want to do this. So I'll go out with the guy on the first day and just walk around the jungle and just ask him what all the fricking trees are. And then maybe take a label with me and stick labels on all the trees. And just leave, maybe I'll make the labels out of something really durable, like metal labels or something. So they'll be there for a while. So every time I walk past the trees, you can stare at it, look at the bark, look at the leaves, read whatever it says. And then, you know, really try to learn the trees here. But anyway, I mean, I'm gonna try the guy for a day first. If it goes well, then I'll get them to do a bunch of stuff, a bunch of cutting. And I'll probably just get them to cut the logs to length, you know, whatever length I need, obviously, and then just cut slabs. So not cut the sides. And then I can, I can bring the slabs over here, and then cut the sides on my lumber mill, because I want the boards to match up. And if you cut them with a chainsaw, you know, they're not going to match up perfectly. And then I'm gonna have to plane them and do stuff anyway. But if I just bring the slabs over here, take them to the lumber mill, and cut the sides, then then they'll match up right, you know, the flat sides. And I want to do that because it's just gonna it's just gonna take a whole bunch of time out of that operation. And I don't know if I don't I don't know what I'll end up doing with the third floor. So I want to do that to to cut all the wood for the second floor. And then I don't know, I'll see how that goes. If that goes well, maybe I'll do that for the third floor too. And just kind of because I really want to get this second and third floor is done. You know, I'm kind of living in a storage unit here with like three floors worth of stuff all on the first floor. So it will be really good to just take a whole bunch of stuff upstairs. That's that's supposed to go upstairs like all the stuff down here it has places to go it's just the places aren't there yet. Oh, I was also I've also been thinking about how to how to move heavy stuff. And this is when I was kind of this is when I was debating whether or not I was going to cut the wood all myself on the lumber mill here, in which case I'd have to drag out huge logs. But I'm probably not going to do that. But anyway, still, I feel like this is something worth sharing. I stop stop doing that. I was thinking about the heaviest thing I've ever moved without equipment, like without any, you know, significant equipment, you can drive on me just don't be loud in my ear. So once about 20 years, I don't know, many, many, many, many years ago. He stopped doing that. A friend and I was his project and my friend was doing this project, where he was making in front of a house, a big, a big granite slab for like, you know, a walkway in front of the house, but just like one big solid piece of granite. And he got this big piece of granite for a deal from a quarry, because it broke kind of like, like not rectangular. And it was like, so we had to end up drilling a bunch of holes and then pounding pieces of rebar into it until we crack that part off. And then we got a nice rectangle. But the footprint of this this piece of granite was about this is about a full sheet of plywood, you know, a little thinner, a little longer, but more or less like a sheet of plywood. But like this thick, you know, about maybe like maybe around a foot thick, like 30 centimeters thick, maybe a little bit less of solid granite. So this thing was heavy, like heavy, heavy, you know, like the kind of heavy where like you kick it and it doesn't move. Like you can't you can't budget like it's it's super heavy, right? So there were two things. I mean, we had to we had to move it into into the yard where it was going. Then we had to, you know, break off the chunk. And then we had to like, move it into position. So we had to move this huge heavy thing under control accurately and get it into the right spot and everything. So what we ended up doing was my friend was like, you stare at this thing for a while, I'm going to go do something else. Let me know if you figured out. Anyway, I was like, All right, I think I got it. Yeah, we didn't have a lot of equipment. But I, you know, we had we had a bit of stuff. We we took three four by fours, you know, four, four inch by four inch pieces of wood, a couple meters long, like six feet long or whatever. Three of those. And say that say this is a four by four. You know, it's long this way, drilled a hole through this way, and then drilled another hole through this way. And the holes weren't lined up just to make it a little stronger. They're, you know, one was here and like one was here. And then we had metal strapping, you know, like plumber's tape, and wrap that around the whole thing. And you know, put a bunch of screws in there just to make this this whole area with these holes reinforced really well. And we also had two pieces of rebar, like pretty thick rebar that were like basically our height, like two meters tall, two meters long, six, six feet or so. And what we did was first, we use these pieces of rebar to pry up the side of this, this giant rock and get one of the four by fours under it. What are you doing? Don't touch that. Hey, hey, no, no, no, guys, don't don't start leaning on there, because if you were, we're figuring out how to not bump the 3d printer, because you know, 3d printers are pretty precise thing. You don't want to bump it because it screws up, right? Right? Okay. Anyway, so we pried up the one side of this huge rock, got a four by four under it, then pried up the other and got a four by four under that and got the got the third four by four in in the middle, right? So now we've got this huge slab of rock with these three four by fours in it. And I mean, you can probably figure out what we did. We took a piece of we two of us, we each took a piece of rebar and stuck it into the holes into one of the holes in the four by four. And you know, just kind of like cranked it up. So the whole four by four tipped over with, you know, with the rock in it. And even with two of us doing it, we were lifting pretty hard. And when it got to the point where it started pulling forward, it was just like throwing us forward. But though we could totally move it. And you know, once we kind of got into a rhythm, we could, we could, we could get it moving at a decent speed. And that was heavier than any log I would be moving around here. So if I get to a point where I need to move like a really big heavy log or anything like that. Yeah, four by fours with holes drilled in with reinforcements. Although I probably wouldn't use four by fours. Well, I'd make my own four by fours out of some kind of hardwood, because they would last longer. And when we did it, the four by fours did last through the moving of that rock, but they were in pretty rough shape by the end, because they were, yeah, they were just beat up. So yeah, we're, I mean, a bunch of times in these lives, we've talked about how to move heavy stuff. So that's that's like how I've moved like the heaviest heaviest thing. Anyway, well, so I wrote down a few things I wanted to make sure I talked about. Oh, yeah. And the, and the camp is going well. Mostly I'm just airchair. What is that? Are you breaking it? So I'm trying to keep little models away here past our way past the piece to away from my three year old, because she likes to drop them and then snap pieces off, obviously. And then I have to get my soldering iron out and weld it back on these little little tiny things. Stop taking these and she hides them too. She'll like take them and put them in weird places. Anyway, we're working on that. So yeah, I've been talking about how I want to have this this camp ground that I'm building ready for May 3 of next year, so that people can come and have an adventure builder meeting. So if you want to come and camp for the week of May 3. I still haven't looked up what what day of the week May 3 is. Hopefully it's a weekday and then the week of May 3 makes sense because if it's a it's a weekend, then it's like it's the week before or the week after. Anyway, the week of the week of May 3. I want to have like an adventure builder meeting where people can come, you just, you know, let me know and I'll help you get directions and stuff and camp out for a week and hang out and do whatever. So I'm still still planning to get that campground set up. And when I say campground, not not just tense, like I'm, I'm planning on building, hey, May 3 is a Friday. Okay, yes. Okay, May 3 is a Friday next week. Thanks. Yeah, so that week, that whole week and the weekend before and the weekend after just come whenever we know I know people a lot of people will be traveling. I say a lot of people when I'm always like who is even going to show up but when I used to have these things like people would show up from like all over the world. It was pretty cool, like really cool people too. Anyway, so not just tense, like I want to build some cabins there and I want to have at least one complete cabin, you know, with Oh yeah, I have the drawing here. Where's it? Yeah, I want to have at least one of these. Oh, look, the marker came through on the other side. There's an uncolored anyway, I want to have at least one of these built, you know, with the with the plumbing working and everything, you guys got to stop dropping those are going to break. You know, and if if I don't have enough space, then people can use tents and stuff. It depends how many people say they're coming. So you know, as it gets closer, let me know if you're coming and I'll have a better idea of how many spots of accommodations I have and all that. But yeah, that's that's still months away. Oh, not that many months is like four months, four months in a week or two now. Yeah, but I still got time. Yeah, I think that's everything I wanted to talk about right now. I was going to make a video of adding solar panels, but instead just ended up running a wire to lumber mill, which is working out great. As long as no one steps on the wire or anything. Let me just see what people are talking about 3d printers live. Yes, happy holiday Jamie and beautiful family love from Switzerland. Phantom Phantom. Sorry, I took me a minute to read that because the a is a four and anyway, holy moly is that Bellatrix behind you. Yes, she's grown. I've missed way too many chapters. Yeah, look at this kid. She's like eight feet tall now. Not really. So skinny, though. This is what I was like. I was like a boy version of this kid when I was little. I was super skinny. Not quite that skinny. She's like the girl version of me. But but check it out. Make a muscle. Yeah, check out these little muscles. She's like solid. That's what I was like. When I was a little kid, just like skinny, but like real wiry. What's up, Dromies? Jamie, you are my hero. Well, be careful. Don't don't meet your heroes. They're always disappointing. I noticed your running trail going through water. Are you going to put plants on there to prevent it from eroding? Yes, definitely. I've planted a bunch of Bermuda grass, otherwise known as golf course grass. And you know, it's going to take a while to grow in there. But right now on the edge, that's the side that that gets you know, splashed and waves and stuff. I have kind of like, not topsoil, but what you know, when you're digging and that the top is like solid from all the roots and the grass and stuff and still got the grass on it, like sod kind of. So I have kind of like, like thick blocks of sod all along the side of it. But that's not going to last because the grass there is going to die in the salt water. Some might survive on the top. But the Bermuda grass is okay in salt water. So before the roots break down in those blocks, I put along the side, I need the Bermuda grass to like take over and you know, do that. But yeah, I do have I do have I have grass started, like just I just planted like clumps here and there. So, you know, it takes a little bit. But as they start expanding, it kind of gets exponential. Although now that now that I had the super high tide this morning, where parts of the trail were underwater, I kind of want to like build it up like another 15 centimeters, six inches, you know, something like that. But yeah, I definitely want to put more more dirt. Mr. Landville, what's going on man? Using a come along with a police system with rolling logs underneath. Yeah, this that has been suggested many times. Definitely. That is definitely a way to move things. The the tricky thing with a come along is that you need something to pull it pull against. And if there's nothing there, it's kind of like, all right, now I got to put like a big stake in the ground and I mean, it's not it's not a terrible way to move stuff. But it's just yeah, it's just all that all that stuff you need. I don't know, maybe we'll end up using that though. I've done that before to move a truck. I pulled the truck out of the mud once with a come along. She is your product toughest tester. Oh, yeah, my three year old is a product toughness tester. And yeah, I didn't design any of this stuff. I 3d printed here. Like, this is just stuff I got off the internet. It's got all these little little things. So she dropped it and snapped off one of these. Yeah, it's right there. Oh, I'll get out my maybe I won't even stick it back on because it's just gonna get broken off again. But I have had success welding with a soldering iron. It's just a 15 watt soldering iron. It's really easy to do. That's how I was mentioning earlier, how I was running out of one kind of filament. And then I was adding another one. And I just melted the two filaments together so it could just keep going. I just did that with the soldering iron. That was that was really easy to do. But yeah, I'm gonna print stuff. I'm gonna I'm gonna draw things to print that are more durable. May 3rd is a Friday. Yes, May 3rd is a Friday this year. Next year. Using an air bladder and styrofoam you could have that up in a day using an air bladder and styrofoam. Oh, you're talking about the the dome thing. Okay. Here's the thing with I know I know people do these videos, where they're like, Hey, here's an air bladder. And then you just spray the concrete on it. It's like boom done in a few hours, right? But like the amount of setup for that is is often overlooked. That is a lot of setup. Like even just mixing that much styrocrete, like grinding that much styrocrete and mixing all that I can't do that much in a day. That's a lot of material. And then, you know, the bladder, I don't just have a bladder like that's going to be a lot of sewing or fine. Where am I gonna find one? I don't know. Yeah, it's definitely not something I could just throw up in a day, unless I had all the stuff and all the equipment there. Once everything is there and ready to go. Yeah, it doesn't. I mean, I could I could build it in a day with with with blocks, if I made all the blocks ahead of time, you know, guns g u n n s. I don't know what guns is. How warm is may normally? Oh, may here is probably about, I mean, it's like always like 28 degrees Celsius. It's like 26 to 30 degrees Celsius, almost always. And Fahrenheit, that's like, it's in the 80s. It's like warm, you know, like summer, but not like, like the summers here are still pretty mild. You know, I'm close enough to the equator that the extreme temperatures are just like leveled out so much. So it doesn't get cold. It doesn't get hot. It's just always kind of warm, hot ish. I remember in Canada in the middle of the summer, since it was the sun was out for such a long time during the day, it would be like, like 115 degrees Fahrenheit, which is like, I don't know, 3540 degrees Celsius. I mean, it would get so hot in the summer sometimes just because of the long days. So we don't we don't get like the really hot summer, but it's definitely hot, you know, like if you come here in the winter, you'd definitely be hot. And it took me a little while when I first got here to get used to the heat because I grew, I grew up in Canada and then lived in Vermont. And most of the year, you know, it was kind of chilly. And, you know, during the during the summer, there's just a lot of whining until until it cools off. And I'm obviously definitely genetically made for cold weather anyway. Oh, guns equals strong arm muscles, right? The guns make a bladder from canvas and duct tape. You know, I mean, it's I where's the duct tape and where like this is this is that's a lot of canvas. Like I don't know where do you guys just have like, like, like giant rolls of canvas and like 40 rolls of duct tape laying around. First of all, I think this is a terrible idea. If I'm gonna if I'm gonna make a big bladder, because we're talking about something the size of a house here, right? We are talking about like building that dome like like a house. Like if I'm gonna build something that big using that much material, I'm definitely sewing it. I'm gonna do a good job and make it reusable. Doing it with duct tape. It's it's gonna be just wrecked at the end, you know? Like if I'm gonna go to all the trouble to make something and I wouldn't use canvas because I don't even know if that's gonna be airtight. You know, I have like nylon cloth that's lightweight and really strong. That would do a good job. A lot lighter than canvas. But man, I don't know. It's like it's like when you guys throw these suggestions, like just just get like, you know, 400 pounds of canvas and eight rolls of duct tape. Like what? Don't you just have that in your garage? And I'm like, no. And if I want to get that stuff versus get a cost of fortune, canvas is expensive. And then I have to ship it here and it takes me like a month to get stuff here, you know? At least. Why? It depends. Anywhere from like two weeks to like two months. It just totally depends on when it is and what's going on. Let's see. Where are we? Man, I wish I just had giant rolls. Mr. Landfill says, I only have three bolts of canvas and five of ripstop nylon. I do have a bunch of rolls of cloth, actually, but no, no. I've a little bit of canvas. Not that much, though. What is canvas? Canvas is there's some canvas over there. It's just like thick cloth. This? No. That is definitely not canvas. Okay. You know that jeans material? It's kind of like that, but but like white creamish color. This? No, that is. What is that stuff? Velcro. Hey, I'll I'll show you after. Hello, Jamie. I was wondering why did you choose a Soval printer? Okay. So when I chose my 3D printer, I don't want to say I agonized over it for months, but yeah, I was thinking about it for months and I mentioned it a bunch of times on here and you know, I got a few suggestions over over the months now and then and I mean, I could kind of tell you why I ended up eliminating different things. Like one guy said, hey, careful. This is the one you're breaking. You can have this is three year old proof. This is the three year old proof one. You can have that. So, okay, for example, someone told me an Ender 3 and when I started looking into the Ender 3s, it was like there were like 20 different versions of the stupid thing and I'm just like, why don't you guys just make it like instead of like adding a thing and then adding like Ender s and then an s v and then an s and Ender s v a b c d b d. It was just too confusing. I'm like, am I going to get the right one? Is this even a finished product? Like next week, they're going to come out with a new thing they should have done and like it just seemed like they were kind of rushing, rushing things to rushing it out of the door, you know? And I guess there, I mean, there is definitely a good thing about them constantly making improvements. It's just like, whoa, guys, slow down. Why don't you stop for a month, take a deep breath, take your design back to zero, make a new machine, call it the Ender 4, have all the stuff that you know. So that's why I didn't end up getting one of those. And there was, someone recommended the elegoo. I don't remember why I went. I didn't end up getting that. But one of the things was, no one mentioned a Soval or an sv6 to me, but whenever I went online and was looking through, you know, chat rooms, it's like living with a bunch of clowns, you know, looking through not chat rooms, but like chat boards or whatever of people talking about 3D printers and ones we get over and over, I kept seeing someone say, blah, blah, blah, but I could just, you know, just get a Soval sv06 instead. You know, and that kept coming up and I was like, you know, I could do that or I could just do the thing. And it seemed like it was like, this was like kind of in a lot of people's mind, the default thing that you're not going to be disappointed with, you know, like I could try that or I could just go with the sv06, you know. And so I was like, all right, well, what is this sv06 thing? So I looked it up and, you know, good reviews. It was hard to find any anything negative about it. And it just seemed like it was, it was just like a really solid, you know, just a really well made thing. And they're open source, which is something I care about a lot. Oh, and there were also a bunch of like much more expensive 3D printers I was looking at. And kind of at the beginning, I was making the choice between, okay, like the thousands of dollars 3D printer or the hundreds of dollars 3D printer. And, you know, it didn't take me that long to be like, all right, I'm not like making a bunch of money with this thing. I just get the hundreds of dollars one. And then I'm not going to be like busting the bank to, you know, get this thing. And then it went on sale on Amazon. So I was like, you know what? I'm just going to get it. Yeah, then I got it. I'm super happy with it. Even when I was putting it together, like, you know, I'm not a huge fan of this whole, this whole design piece here, which is like how all the 3D printers are made now. You know, it's got this this thing. And it's not like really that well reinforced. Like I kind of want like angled pieces like coming down like this to keep that from wiggling, you know, but the way it attaches down at the bottom here, it like slides right into a really, really snug groove. And then it's got a couple bolts. It's, you know, it's really solidly put together. So I'm not going to do it right now because it's in the middle of printing. But if I grab this part here, you know, try to wiggle it, like the whole thing moves. Like it is solid. And that's that was when I was putting it together. That was the first thing where I was like, oh wow, that's, I mean, they weren't screwing around when they put this together. You know, they actually put attention, put a groove that's snug. The thing slides in there. It's like tight. And then there are two bolts that hold the thing. And yeah, the whole thing is just really, really solidly built, which is really nice. And that was one of the things I kept seeing in the, in the reviews, you know, it's just, it's like the 3D printer you get if you, if you just want it to work. Of course, other people have also had excellent experience. It's like everyone who recommended a 3D printer to me, they had excellent, excellent, excellent experiences with, with other 3D printers. So I mean, I think there are just a lot of really good 3D printers out right now for not, and they're not that expensive. And I think that has a lot to do with the way 3D printers have been developed over the years, which is open source, you know, because when you, because when, when the development of something is just open to the public, you end up getting really good stuff. And this is an argument I've had with people over the years, over and over and over, where I'll complain about, you know, some big corporations, the big corporations are ruining everything. And then people will say, yeah, but nothing ever gets developed by anyone, except a big corporation. If a big corporation isn't doing it, nothing, we'd have no technology or nothing, man. But this is a perfect example, like no, no one got a monopoly on the development of 3D printers. It was just open to the public. And so many people have put so many ideas and so many people have tried things and there's been so much trial and error and all these people all over the place are adding, adding knowledge and information and and, you know, it's just getting put together into better and better stuff. Whereas if someone, if some company patented just the whole idea of 3D printers and just wrapped up the development in their little their little team, it would be extremely limited. They would go in one direction, they'd be told where to go by people who don't even have anything to do with 3D printers, but, you know, want to want to know what the bottom line is going to be. And that's, that's, I think that's why there are so many really good 3D printers now. It's just, it's just so many people are working on them, people who care about them, people who aren't even doing it just for money. And that's what I love. I love that. Like, if we could have everything in the world going like that, that would be awesome. You know, at this point, I think it would even be better to just get rid of the entire patent system and someone's going to say, oh my god, but how are you going to protect the inventors? The patent system does not work for inventors at all. Like, you're actually better off without any patent system. Because what happens more often than I've seen is someone will invent something, some, some, you know, multi-million-dollar corporation will take the design and patent it, and then the actual inventor will be like, what? No, that was mine. And they're just like, well, sorry. Yeah, but the 3D printers, open source, that is, that is, I'm always all for open source. And that's why whenever I'm, you know, doing things or designing things, I always try to just share the information freely, because it's much more valuable to the world. And one of the reasons I can do that is actually because of you guys, because you guys, you know, donate money to me on Patreon and send me PayPal or Bitcoin every now and then. I got to read what you guys are talking about. Anyway, but yeah, you guys make it so I can do that, which is great. So as long as you guys keep my head above water, I'm going to keep open sourcing everything I do, because I think that's a really important thing. Anyway, what is, what is going on here? Merry Christmas. Those fans take a lot of power. I was thinking, yeah, so the 3D printers actually kind of take a lot of power. I mean, not a lot, a lot, but when I only had one solar panel on my house, like I could only 3D print when the sun was like good, like no clouds. Now that I've connected the lumber mill to the house. Yeah, dude, can you get her a snack of raisins? Thanks. Not a giant handful. Okay. This doesn't happen anymore, but before if I'd be like, hey, can you get this kid a snack of raisins? One of my kids would just be like, here you go, like a whole bag or just give the 3 year old the bag. And she's just like, all right, we're a duct tape, bladder from thing. Wondering why did you choose to solve a printer? Oh, that's why I went off for like 20 minutes there on a tangent. Check out the binny shell process. What is a binny shell process? Okay, binny shell process. I gotta write this down. Where's my stuff to write with? Okay, a whole bunch of pencils with no, oh, here we go. Well, here's one of my favorite comics that I've never made. Oh, isn't that great? Oh, I love bacon. Where does it come from? These guys are all like, okay, let me make sure I spelled this right. I think I, yeah, binny shell process. I'll look up whatever that is. I don't know. I have no idea what you're talking about. Of course, someone's probably just going to tell me in the comments now and then I'll tell. That would be a good subject for a building camp vacation. Cool. Another cool way to change filament while printing is to slow down the printer to the slowest. It can go and pushing the new filament in with the last then speeding the printer back up to normal. I actually did that once when, all right, the piece of filament that came with the 3D printer is just like a little piece that was kind of wrapped tight. So as it was unwrapping to go through the thing, it cracked and kind of broken half. So I just took the piece above and just held it. I didn't slow down the 3D printer, but yeah, I just kind of pushed it in and kept it going. But you got to make sure you keep pushing it until it gets in there. Air Creek, Harry makes his air forms out of Tyvek. Yeah, Tyvek could work too. Yeah, I mean, Tyvek is like, it's like this really strong paper stuff. It's airtight. Nothing would, I'm pretty sure it's watertight. So things wouldn't soak into it. Soon we are going to see a spider tank in the future. Yeah, I'm excited about that. A cheap wooden geodesic dome mold is better than a bladder mold. Well, what I'm, what I'm planning to use unless something changes, but for that dome, where did the picture go? I don't know. You saw the picture already, right? Oh, it's shorting it. Wait, where did the picture go? Am I drunk? Oh, right here. Yeah, so, so what I'm planning to use for the mold for this is a fiberglass mold, because I have pieces, fiberglass pieces that make a dome like this, like the size I'm going to make. I chose that size because I already have a fiberglass dome. And the way it works is I have eight different pieces that make up the thing, you know, kind of like orange slices. So I can just use one of those and maybe put some kind of edge for the biggest size that I could make a block and actually be able to move it. Or I might put the fiberglass thing where it goes, put styrocrete on it, and, you know, wait a day, then move the mold over and then put fiber, styrocrete on the next part. I don't know, we'll see, but I don't know, either of those would totally work. But yeah, I'm going to use a fiberglass mold. The problem with wood, anything here is if you're not protecting it, the termites get in, rods, you know, I'm in a tropical environment. Oh, let's see. Tropical is where we are. It's like warm, warm environment. But technically it's like within a certain distance from the equator of the earth. Got it? I was thinking that the big lake blob bladder would be tough enough. The big lake blob bladder. I don't know what you're talking about. Those fans take a lot of power. Yeah, the 3D printer fans. Although, I don't know, it's not that much. I mean, for someone who's on like grid power, it's not that much. I'm actually impressed with how quiet this thing is. Like, listen, you can probably hear the fan on it. But other than that, it's pretty quiet. I actually have another fan over here that I think is louder. And that's a fan for a bug sucker. It's just a fan with like a sock of mesh material on it. We have a little light there to attract the bugs so they get blown into this thing and stuck. So if there's a mosquito in my house, chances are, you know, at night it'll go to the light and then get sucked in. I have, I put one of those on my cargo boat outside and it's been there for maybe two months. And it has like a block of just desiccated bug corpses in there. It's like, I'm going to have to clean it out. It's going to be disgusting. Like a good handful, maybe even like a double now. Like a good solid handful of just like dried up, you know, noceums, chitras, mosquitoes. Chitras. So in Panama, we have these things that people call chitras. But they're just like little, people call them noceums in other places because they're just like tiny mosquitoes that you don't really see. You can see them, you know, if one lands on you, it just looks like a little dot. But when they're flying around, it's like, it's hard to see them. Jamie makes some awesome geodesic domes. Well, thanks man. Burlap and layers of concrete, soaked layers that can be waterproof will be my next experiment. That's cool. I want to see that. Robotron, the geodesic dome with air creed is what David Nash did on Doomsday Prepper Show. Solid but looked horrible. Robotron, the geodesic dome with air creed. Yes, burlap and cement mixed with polystyrene. Burlap and cement. Yeah, I've done burlap before, but I didn't get good results because animals pooped on the burlap. I didn't want to get into it. That was just a nightmare. And that was very obviously someone's fault and there was just no reasoning with the person. What happened to the solar dozer? Oh, it's up on the hill. Although it only works sometimes. So years ago, I built this little solar powered bulldozer that I used to flatten out a whole bunch of ground. And I might want to start using it again, actually, or modify it to use it a little differently, maybe not necessarily as a bulldozer or maybe not just as a bulldozer. But anyway, it's up on the hill. And the speed controller for the motors is getting kind of finicky. You know, it has a speed controller. The tracks speed controllers are pretty common, like in all the golf carts and everything. I got it from a guy out of a sailboat. I got it with a motor and a bunch of other stuff, but it was still in good shape. But now it's getting finicky where sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. Like sometimes it just doesn't do anything. If it starts working, it works. But if it doesn't do anything, it's just nothing. And I've actually noticed on my cargo boat, I have the same type of speed controller. And the maximum speed isn't the same as what it was. You know, it's kind of like, I don't know. I don't know what's going on there. And this is why I like making speed controllers out of just a coil of resistive wire, nichrome wire. And in the packages video I made a few days ago, last week, whatever, I got a bunch of nichrome wire. Someone sent me a bunch of nichrome wire. I think, I don't want to say who I think it was in case it was the wrong person, then I'll feel like a dick. But anyway, it was a bunch of nichrome wire so I can use that to make speed controllers that are like, you know, it's like a $10 speed controller. That's not as efficient as a fully functioning, one of those $600 super-electronical ones. However, at full speed it's going to be, it'll actually be more efficient. Why? I don't want to get into why because, well, because it'll be basically 100% efficient because you're bypassing the whole speed controller. Whereas with the electronic speed controller, even when you have it on full, it's still using some energy through some electronical stuff. Anyway, doesn't matter. But I think I want to replace the speed controller on the bulldozer just with a coil of wire and a switch that does a couple different speeds. Because it's so reliable. It's so nice. Like the electronic one is really nice when it's working. But then it breaks and like, or it starts getting finicky and works half the time. And I've already gone in there and checked all the connections, checked everything, like outside the speed controller. And it's just like, there's, there's nothing else I can do. I can open this thing up and destroy it more. But you know, it's all tiny electronical stuff that I, I'm not going to be able to repair an integrated circuit unless I, you know, I could replace it and go get another one. Or I can just get a coil of wire, give up a bit of efficiency at lower speeds. And, you know, it just works amazingly. So I think I'm going to do that. So anyway, that's where the solar bulldozer is up on the hill. Same with the kids car. And the kids car has a coil of wire, but it's not nichrome wire because I didn't have enough of that at the time. Now I have enough. But when I made that, I just use a piece of stainless steel wire that I was using for chain mail. Actually, I just took a piece of it, coiled it up, and it worked great. Let's see. And it, yeah, that's, so that's the speed control on the kids car. And it never has any problems. Yeah, I can leave it sitting there and every time I've gone to drive around it, it totally works. We have to give a lot of thanks to the rep-rep folks who really kicked off the open source 3D, 3D word 20 world, 3D world, I think, 20 years ago. Geez, was it only 20 years ago? I mean, yeah, 20 years is so long. I've already got a site set up and waiting for better weather now. Oh, is this for the, for the dome you're making? Soaked carpet. Awesome idea. Yeah, so when you say soaked carpet, are you talking about like cement soaked carpet to make a dome? That's cool. I want to see that and see how it goes and see how it lasts like three months later. Is it still in good shape? Like soaked carpet genius. Yeah, I know, I know people who've done like towels, like soaked it in cement and used, used the cement soaked towels to make, well, they were making fake coral for fish because you know, it's in a place where the coral was dying. They're like, well, let's make some fake coral and they used old towels, soaked them in cement, put them over some kind of form to make a corally kind of shape and put it in the ocean. And I want to find out how they made it so it's fine in the ocean because cement degrades in the ocean supposedly, right? I can get old, old carpets from remodels. That's cool. Old area rugs can be done modular, transported for walls. Yeah, plastic, then burlap. Okay. F-W-I-W. Oh God. I never know what acronyms are. Fully wild in wimps. I don't know. I've been printing for a few years now. If you don't need a solid 100% infill print, but you want it to be real strong, a 0% infill with four to six walls has been better than less walls. So you're saying just make it totally hollow and just make the wall thickness thicker. The problem with that is if you've got a top surface that's not going to be supported by anything, you know, it might just not print. So a lot of the infill is to support the pieces that like the top wall, the roof of what you're making. Yeah, other than that. Yeah. Yeah, that would be good weight bearing and some rebar too. Man, I hate rebar. I love rebar, but I hate it, man. Like, okay, rebar is so amazing because it makes your concrete so strong. But then after a while, what? You want to kill some ants? Yeah. You want the squirter? Okay, can you give her the squirter? Let me open this. Oh, just leave it. It's fine. Just give her the squirter and let her kill some ants. I keep a squirt bottle full of soapy water to squirt ants. Kill some. Oh, God. What was I talking about? Right, rebar. So rebar is amazing because it makes your concrete incredibly strong. But then after a while it starts rusting and then actually like it expands and actually cracks your your concrete open. So it makes it weaker. So it's, it's, it's just a short term. It's really good in a short term. It's not, not going to long term. I just grabbed, all right, sorry. I just started building a laser cutting CNC ching gas. Oh, what's a ching gas? Oh, yesterday I'm using some carbon fiber from arrows and it reminded me of a messaging. It reminded me of messaging you for the first time a billion years ago about robin materials. Dude, you got to work on your typing. Oh, that's funny. I'm stoked. You have a printer again. Everything you do is pretty legendary, but you're making, no, maquina magníficas are my favorites. Got it. What are maquina magníficas? My, my machines. Oh, FWIW for what it's worth, right? Bezalt rebar for the win. Yeah. I want to, I've looked around. I have no source of Bezalt rebar here and it's kind of expensive. I looked online. It's kind of expensive and shipping it in. I don't know. What's Bezalt rebar? Bezalt rebar is just rebar that's not steel. It's made out of Bezalt. So what's Bezalt? This is, I don't know. It's like rock stuff. It won't rust anyway. Oh, I think people also call it Bezalt, but I just call it Bezalt because I like it more. How about using a stainless wire mat at rebar in your concrete designs? Yes, stainless rebar, but I don't have the budget. You know, I mean a lot of this stuff just comes down to the budget. For supporting the top layer on hollow print, there are some wall percent settings that will assist with bridging. It works in most cases, right? But like, it's not going to work in all cases, you know? Like there's going to be situations where you've got a vertical, not a vertical, horizontal thing that you got to print across and it doesn't matter how thick your walls are, unless your walls are like, like you can't just print across an open area or if something has to come back down, like, yeah, it's just not going to work, you know? But if you have something like this, yeah, yeah, totally fine. Your printing in the background is motivating me to warm up my printer and work on some things I've been meaning to print. How's it going up there anyway? Whoa! Dude, that looks amazing. Here, let me, let me show you real quick. Where's my turn camera on? Where's the camera to that corner? Wait, maybe we can get on this side. Yeah, the light's not too bad over here. I don't know, it doesn't, it doesn't look as good on the camera. Just the detail on this 3D printer I'm really, I'm really impressed with. Of course, I'm comparing to 3D printers I've had in the past, which were, you know, way at the beginning of the 3D printer thing. So there have been a lot of improvements in them. Let's see, but if you use concrete-soaked fiber like hemp burlap or the cement-soaked carpet would hold together, is there such thing as a plastic rebar? Well, fiberglass rebar, which is, you know, plastic with glass reinforcements. That's what fiberglass is, you know, just glass reinforced plastic. What I used for the, for the rebar in my house was just ropes, polypropylene ropes. I totally could have used thicker ropes too, but I put the ropes in as I was building and always put them under a lot of tension. So for instance, this right here is a beam. It's about, oh, what's that beam? Like two meters? It's a beam about two meters long, and it has a rope. It's about the thickness of my finger attached to that wall, actually attached to a rope that goes up through here, like up through here, and then it goes over to there. And at the other end, while I was doing the concrete for this, I had a bunch of stuff hanging off the rope, probably putting about 400 pounds of tension on the rope. So the rebar in my house is just all polypropylene ropes that were under tension when I put the thing together. And then in my roof, the dome roof, it's fishing net, like nylon fishing net. Yeah, I think it's nylon fishing net. So, but you know, like fishing line, but just in a net. And I used that partly again because of the budget, because I got a used fishing net from a guy for 20 bucks, and it's huge. Like I didn't even use half of it making my roof. Bellatrix, get your, give me that. Is chopped fiber available? I don't know where to get chopped fiber here, but you know, I can get it. Yeah, well, I don't know. I don't need it for anything right now. When I'm building the domes, my plan for building these domes here is to make, basically make everything out of Styro, yeah, Styro Creek first. And then once I've got everything done in Styro Creek, get that fishing net that I used for the roof and wrap, wrap several layers around it, pull it real tight, and then, you know, spackle over it. And I think that'll be good. And yeah, I think that should be good if I'll use a few different layers of the fishing net. And basically, I want to make it tight enough that it's not going to develop any leaks or anything. And it's not that big a building, so I don't think it'll be that hard. Instead of rebar, what about recycling electric cable? The heck? First step? Yeah, I don't know. That could get expensive first if it's copper cable, but you know, you might be able to get it really cheap. But then I'm thinking like, it's got the plastic jacket, which isn't going to grab. It's not going to have good grip. It's going to slip. So if you take the plastic jacket off the electric cable, then you've got copper cables, which are still smooth and slippery, but maybe you could tie knots in it every now and then. But then I don't know how copper reacts with cement. What's the story there? How does copper react? Oh, this is funny. I see when you did the dome with the rope, that was a really good idea. Yeah, it seems to have worked pretty well. Although if I was doing it again, I would use thicker rope, because I totally could have used thicker rope. But it's working. I mean, nothing is broken. Anywhere that cracks developed, didn't come apart, the rope held it. But if I used thicker ropes, it might have prevented it, prevented any cracks from even showing up. And it was just, there's just a few cracks like toward the front, where the building is over new ground. So the ground settled, you know, I wasn't really going to get around that unless I waited like, you know, sufficient time for the ground to settle. But I needed to get my house built. Poor Jamie, such abuse. Do you hear that? Yeah, abuse. Geez, you guys need to relax. Does anyone else think Jamie needs to receive some Arduino CNC shields and a new, and a few stepper motors so he can build the NC mill for wood propellers, giant robot arms, and everything else? Well, I don't know. I feel like my propellers, I've got those worked out. But there are plenty of other things. I really want to get, I really want to get a CNC mill, like a CNC router mill thing. And I also want to get a laser cutter, CNC laser cutter. But you know, I want a lot of things. I also want a spaceship and a dinosaur. But you know, well, one thing at a time. Lovely hat, Sam likes your hat. Does anyone, oh wait, that's, I just read that. Thumbs up everyone. Mr. Lanthal says, personally, I feel like building a CNC is much easier than the program. Also, my apologies for my typing previously. Don't worry about it then. Oh, my typing is terrible. Like when I'm using a tablet, my, my thumbs are just too big. I need a tablet like this. So I can be like, don't, don't, don't, don't, because like, this is even a pretty decent sized tablet. But I'm like, my thumbs are too big for these buttons. And what I always do is I always miss the end and hit space. So, so all, all my ends are replaced with space bars. Not all of them, but like a lot. Let's see. Giant robot. Yeah. Personally, I think building a CNC is much easier than the program. Also, my apologies for typing. Too much voice excerpts for robot. That's the proper way. Yeah. How about a glass bottle window? Um, how about a glass ball or window? Too cool. Hey, what are you doing? Come here. All right. Here. There you go. Now, shut up and be cute. You sit there and you shut up and you be cute. You got that? Yeah, I'm abusing my children now. All right, it looks like we're at the end of, end of one of those comments. And yeah, I just wanted to give everyone an update on the, on the things that have been going on building wise. And I guess I'm going to shut up now, unless anyone has a last minute question or comment you want to make. This thing is still got, but it's still got like two hours to go. Damn it. Late to the live. All right. 87 design. I'll, I'll wait a minute. Tell, ask me a question or tell me something. Although, maybe you just wanted to sit there and listen to me talk in which case you can just rewind and go back to the beginning, right? But yeah, if you have any last minute questions, let me know. Oh yeah, Mr. Landfield says, Merry Christmas everyone. It's Christmas. What's it like to, it's 22nd today. I know that because something popped up on my computer and it was like, it's a 22nd. And I was like, Whoa, it's like almost Christmas, man. I don't do anything super special for Christmas, but wait, wait, what do we want to have for dinner for Christmas? Christmas dinner, pizza, pizza, Christmas dinner. Come on. All right. I hear a yes from over there and I just got a yes here. You want pizza for Christmas dinner? You want pizza for Christmas day? You want pizza for Christmas dinner with boogers on it? Extra boogers. You want some extra boogers on your pizza? No. No, no, you just eat your, eat your boogers on the side. Like you get your pizza with the side of boogers. Is that right? No, no, you don't, you don't need to order any boogers because you come with your own. Yeah. You know, when you go to a restaurant and you bring your own food, they don't like that. So if you go into a restaurant and start eating your own boogers, they might ask you to leave. I think she's wondering how serious I am right now. People think I'm crazy when I admire what you're doing. You're one of the, my idols and can't wait to live like you are. Do it, man. It's totally, oh, seriously, it's the awesome way to live. So before I originally moved off grid, yeah, people, people called me crazy. If I, if I mentioned anything about, oh, Merry Christmas to you too, Mr. Landfilly, just sent me 10 bucks. That's sweet. Oh, I'm gonna have to use 10 bucks or something. Actually, someone sent me a, someone sent me a gift card, $100 gift card a few weeks ago. That was, that was what prompted me to buy the 3D printer just then. I was like, I can use this for my 3D printer. Anyway, what the hell was I talking about? Oh yeah. When I, when I originally moved off grid, I just had to stop talking to people like, like everyone was like, no, don't do that. You're crazy. You're going to die and freeze. It's going to be horrible. Just everything, just like, no. So I just stopped talking to people and I just went and did it and like, oh man, I can't imagine going back. Like if you, if you want to do it, do it, man. And you know, like just be aware that at the beginning, everything's going to be different. You know, it might be a struggle having to, I don't know, learn to do some new stuff. For me, personally, I was kind of, I don't know if I should say lucky or what, but I really loved all the, all the stuff where I was like, I need to learn to do everything differently. And I'm like, just, I'm just living in a tent for like six months. I loved all that stuff. That was super fun. But even if you don't love that stuff, like you'll get to a point where you're just like, you realize every day you get to do all this stuff where you're working for yourself. Like you're not, you don't have to work for money and filter your entire existence through what people will buy you. You can actually have some control over your own life. So if you want to live off grid, man, don't, don't waste time. Just do it, like focus on it. Get, get yourself set up so you can do it and do it. And don't let people, don't let people discourage you because it's, it's super awesome. Let's see. Happy to see your family doing well. Yeah. Well, people, they are crazy. Yeah. Okay. Where am I? Happy to see your family. So, uh, love you to bits. Thanks, man. I hope your family's good too. Glad to see you. I've been watching since the giant robot project. I still say bearings. Bearings. Oh, I love bearings. They're such an amazing, amazing invention. Like, I know I've, I've, I've gone on and on about this before, but like just, just think about at some point in our history, there were no ball bearings. Someone, and then someone figured it out. Could you imagine like being like, like sitting there with your wagon being like, dang it all, this dang wagon wheel. I gotta replace them every, wait a minute. What if I put some, some rollers between the axle and the frame and made a ball bearing? Oh my God. Like the world changed at that point. Ball bearings. Oh, they're amazing. Rivets too. But rivets, rivets are amazing too, but they're partly amazing because they're just satisfied. Like it's sort of like popping a super strong zit or something, but like ball bearings. Whoa. That's like, that's like almost on the level of, of when that dude figured out that there's a connection between like electricity and magnetism. Like that. That changed everything. All right. Merry Christmas. How's it going to read? How long does it take a banana plant? Oh, I think you started typing this and changed, changed what he was saying. How I'm just going to read it exactly as it's typed. How long does it take a banana plant take to produce fruit from first emerging from the ground? It's about a year. Like it depends on your soil and stuff, but you know, about a year. Stop, stop. You know, I'm trying to keep your legs down because I don't know if you're wearing underwear and I don't want you to flash all the people on YouTube. Three year olds. Anyway, yeah, it's about a year, like nine months of in good conditions. Like you get, you get bananas in about nine months in good conditions. That's what I'm told. And yeah, nine months to a year. And then once you get the bananas off the tree, first the bananas, I mean, if you have good conditions, it's like a lot, like a hundred pounds of bananas all at once. And then the tree, the bananas came out of that one died. So you just cut it, cut it into pieces. And it's, it's not wood. It's just like, it's sort of like, like really thick, built up layers of grass. So you can cut it up and just throw it down in the, in the feed of the rest of the bananas and they'll decompose and compost and feed the rest of the banana trees. Anyway, if you have not in a while, you should watch a couple CNC build is pretty incredible. What you can do now with all the open source software out there. I mean, maybe I'm going to, I have a full plate. I have a full plate right now with stuff falling off the sides. That's why I was talking earlier about hiring someone to help me cut, cut the boards for, for the second floor because I just have, I just have so much to do. And yeah, I, I need to not get more stuff to do. I would love to have a CNC machine, but right now I could only get one if I, if I got one already made, like about one made. I have been messaging some companies, I do this now and then, you know, when I'm hanging around, you know, companies that sell CNC machines and laser cutters and stuff like that. And I'll send them a message saying, Hey, I could review this and, you know, every once in a while, I'll get something. Like I got solar panels, I got, I don't know, there's, there's been, been a bunch of different stuff I've gotten that way, but no, no CNC machines yet. But, you know, I throw out a little feeler here and there once in a while, maybe, maybe I'll get lucky. Have an awesome day. All right, I'm going to get out of here. Everyone has, have an awesome day. And yeah, it's the holidays. It doesn't really seem like anything different to us, right? Because we pretty much do the same thing all the time. But yeah, it's, it's Christmas time. People, people aren't going to their jobs for a few days and get to have some fun. Everyone have fun and eat a lot of food and make sure you keep doing your morning exercises. I know I stopped doing videos about morning exercises, but I still do them every morning. Are you still doing your morning exercises? Great way to start your day. Makes you feel great. You know, just gets everything going. Okay, I'm going to shut up and go see if I can do something useful and let this thing finish. Ah, thank you Robotron 2084. You're welcome. Thanks, Jamie, from McBongs Lab. McBongs Lab. You know, the image I get in my head whenever I read that name. Take care and thanks for hanging out. All right, I'm going to get out of here. Where's the button? There's the button.
