 Okay guys, we're dragging the Christmas tree around back and we're gonna set it on fire Monkeys at work And she said She said we wish we had a camera around back so she could watch it so I told her I'd film it for her so we're gonna bring it back here to the burning pile and I'm gonna use my my striker and We'll see how quick we can get this thing to go up and I won't try to get it to stand up because it's a lot cooler So hang tight and we'll get this thing going. All right, so Got my little fire striker here I want to try it first and if it don't work, then we're gonna stuff this in there and we'll light this that'll make it go but It just see still have water in it, but it is still kind of dry Now let's try our this stuff hasn't It never fails usually I have had it fail like if you're washing sheets That are fire retardant Or blankets or something. I Think it might be what they had in it right now It was lit like on the second try, but All right, let's see what happens. I'll sit down here beside you guys That sucks. I did have my water hose right here beside us Just in case something goes awry Now if that was standing up that would have been gone by now guarantee But as you can see if this was in your house You know That's pretty hot Back some guys up too. Whoo. I think I think that's who sir I think that's from last year's tree if I'm not mistaken Whoo, we're back about 15 feet now I'm taking a picture that and send it to monkey. I sent her a couple second clip like I said as you can see That If that got out of hand in your house I mean your whole living room dining room wherever you have that set up would be gone right now well, I Gotta go grab another one out of the shed. Okay. I got this one It's plastic. They're gonna be careful with it Me These things well, I know the one was left outside, but I didn't think this one was Well, I got my water hose here Just in case so I'll just sit out here for a couple minutes Have a gold cold beer and talk to you guys for a minute. Okay guys, so We'll sit here for a few minutes have a cold beer with you Man, that looks like a mobile home behind me with that tarp on it like that Not that there's anything wrong with that. I've lived in a I lived in a mobile home once Twice actually once when I was a kid and once I had my own while I rented it I didn't own it but uh Yeah, that's uh, it's trying to get money. It's gonna cost around 12,000 to do that roof So but that's everything. That's you know, that's all the The face of work and of course not gutters, but South's never had gutters But that's all the face of work and The cap and all that stuff, you know, the there's like three soil stacks on there I think it's got lead on them right now, but they'll replace those But that's the whole nine yards. That's all the wood the sheeting. We call it They just call it wood down here a message and monkey back and forth because I showed her a picture of the The rakes and she said well you fixed one once for me And I was like, yeah, I did but I can't remember which one. I think it was the first one that broke The second one I don't think I fixed and she was like you'll have to fix them I'm like or or now hear me out or we just get a new one She says well, I like you to fix things so maybe I'll let you fix them. She was joking, but she told me she said This is cool. You know, I can't give out locations, but she's you know in the office Um It says I think there's a ghost in here things or Falling the house is shaking. I don't know why she called it a house. It's an office building, but I think it's a single single story though, you know Uh Again for whatever. Oh, she said or whatever you want to call this office So, um, I I don't know if it's a house or if it was a house and they made it into an office, but Uh, yeah, so that's pretty interesting. But you know, I mean She's got You know, she's in the office and her other worker Uh, she ended up going to the hospital because she got sick. She had the shots And the uh physical therapists are all sick The nurses are all sick And two other people just got sick yesterday Yesterday one the owner showed up. It's kind of it's a private company Uh that does the healthcare and He left on the ground, you know, he brought some supplies some masks and some gloves, you know for the workers But he left him on the ground. He wouldn't get out of his truck. He wouldn't come and talk to her He didn't want no part of it and he's the owner. Okay Now that's that's what that what that's what gets me because he knows, you know, everybody's getting sick Now monkey Is the only one that hasn't gotten sick and she hasn't had any of the shots So, you know take out with a grain of salt. I usually don't talk about that stuff on here But you know, they say What is it the Heroes behind the scenes or whatever. Well, you know, like I said, they don't mention cna's They only mentioned doctors and physicians and and those kind of people. What about the cna's? She was in more homes than the nurses were she was around more patients than the nurses were You know, but anyway, she's on light duty. That's why they got her in the office But you know this week she's been there all by herself because you know, the other woman That had gotten sick. Well, she got better came back. I think one or two days And she got sick again and she's been doing some work from home, but she's really sick again And she's had the shots So I don't know what's going on there and you know, she's scared to death I'm scared to death because you know, she could bring something home to us But this she's in the office by herself like yesterday She wouldn't let anybody in if somebody needed something She would put it in in their bag or whatever and set it outside the door and it would come and pick it up So, you know, even when the other girl was working there, you know, she they they wore their masks So it just doesn't make sense. Everybody has had their shots except for her And she's the only person that has not gotten sick And the 22nd of this month they're mandating to where if you don't have your shots, they're going to fire you So they're going to make her take a shot For something that hasn't bothered her since she's been there But everybody else had the shots has all been sick and missing work and out of work Because you know that you can't come to work sick like that And um So, you know, if she don't get her shots They're gonna fire But she's the only one that hasn't been sick Anyway, that's my little rant that pisses me off You know, I mean Come on You know, I'm not against it. I just ain't gonna do it. You know, I'm not gonna be forced to put something in my body I don't want my body and she feels the same way You know, we shouldn't have to be forced to do that as far as wearing wearing a mask out in public I get it. I'll do that with no problem. But you're not going to force me To stick a needle in my arm and put something in me I don't know what it is when they say it's better for you Then you got to get a booster shot after you get the first two shots and all this and then what what's next Another booster and people still getting sick people still dying From this it really upsets me, you know So anyway, and yes, we've been tested We none of us here's had it and we want to keep it that way So Okay, she sent me a Okay, she figured out why the building is shaking. I know you probably can't see it, but there's a big d9 in In the back field there Yep, that'll do it Yep, that'll cause it to shake So anyway, but you know, I mean it should be to each his own, you know what I'm saying And they'll tell you that shot don't keep you from getting sick. It keeps you from dying If you get sick No, if it's your time to go it's your time to go, you know, I mean They smoke a half a pack of cigarettes a day. I cut down from three and a half packs Well, now you need to stop I said, look, you're not taking everything away from me, you know Like I had one is one young punk ass doctor said you quit smoking I guarantee I can put 10 years on your life So you're going to guarantee me that I'm not driving down the road or I'm not going out checking my mail and get hit by a drunk driver. Well, no So you can't guarantee me 10 years on my life. I told him straight up. You're not god You know My saying is, you know, I put I put my health and my body in the hands of god not physicians because physicians aren't god You know, I do take my blood pressure or not blood pressure my blood thinners. I do take them every day um But I mean, I'm not I'm not going to be forced to put something in my body I don't think anybody Should well, you know, it's your career or you can go get the shot For something that hasn't made you sick yet Just it upsets me, you know Yeah, doctors say, uh, you quit smoking. You'll live another 10 years How long you figure I got now? You you you might live being your 70s. I'm good with that because pretty much my 95% of my family has all died in their mid 70s. So except for like my mom and stuff, but You know, that seems like the cutting off point. I'm like, uh, you know, I mean You can't guarantee somebody something like if you quit smoking you'll live 10 years longer Or do they come up with that? You know I mean, I've had two doctors tell me, you know, your your lungs are fine Because I started smoking late your lungs are fine. So if you quit smoking now, it's not going to matter because You know, it'll be something else that'll that'll get you just like my stroke. I've had a lot of comments about that That's what smoking caused your stroke. No, it didn't a hole in my heart caused my stroke, you know And You know, we're all born with a hole in our heart, but they usually They usually heal over grow over, you know, it's like babies. They got soft spots but Mine didn't now usually in those cases You're pretty much an outpatient. You go in they fix it, you know, put a patch on it You're in there. So two days, maybe whatever You know, it's it's just a quick procedure nothing to it and They can fix it, but I uh When I went in to get mine done I was prepped and ready man They shaved me and everything and you know, I was all ready to go just waiting on the doctor and doctor come in And says you ready go and I'm like, yeah, I'm ready. Let's do this He says, you know, it's not a big deal, but he says, you know what? He said, I want to take a look at your images again. I just want to be sure He come back about 20 minutes later and says I'm not going to do it. He says I'm This is what worried me is this doctor actually said I burned that bridge before he says you have an aneurysm around that hole He says it's it's flapping. He says if we try to put a patch on that And I like the way the this doctor was pretty cool because he wasn't from here. He's from leesburg I mean, he knew his stuff, but He says you're a mechanic. So I'm sure you've patched tubes before and I said, yeah, I patched tire tubes before he says, uh There's a reason why you don't get that wrinkle, right? I said, yeah, it'll leak. He said same Same same way there. He says you got a wrinkle around your heart around that hole. It's called an aneurysm He said if we try to patch it, it could be a lot worse possibly even kill you Okay, so we heard that so we made so And he talked to because that was a team of doctors he talked to his colleagues and they nobody wanted to do it so we went to shans in gamesville and uh Had a team of doctors checked me out They ran all kinds of tests and then they called me back in and it was like we're not going to do it either I said And monkey said uh, so it can't be patched and they said normally yes, but he's won in a thousand cases That there's nothing they can do, but he said let me go talk to my colleagues 30 minutes later he came back. He said look, we don't want to do this He said that the chances of it getting worse Are higher than the chances of it making better He says it's probably not going to work and it'll probably make it worse That's two teams of doctors doctors that told me that there's nothing they can do one in a thousand case had to be that one but you know so But anyway, you know back to it's just uh You know the shot thing I think if you want to get it go ahead go for it, you know if you know if that's what you want to do I'm not against it. I'm just against me taking it. I don't want to take it. You know, I mean I'm not going to I don't have to but They're threatening her job her career If she don't go get a shot To keep her from getting sick From something that she hasn't been sick with yet and the whole office everybody like I said even the field people the the uh They're all getting bronchitis pneumonia and all that stuff cause you know It's uh, well, it's cove it. I'll say it. You know, I guess they'll demonetize this but You know and and she's the only one it hasn't been sick in any way, you know Not even so much as a cold And you know, like I said, they're they're patients, you know, they don't have You know, they don't have nurses that can go in. They're sick. They can't go in sick Taking care of patients, you know getting them sick physical therapists the office people like I said, she's Pretty much two weeks been there by herself because Everyone is sick and when the owner don't even want to get out of the truck and come and talk to you or hand you this stuff He didn't he didn't even go in the building and set it on her desk or anything He just Set it down on the ground. I guess by the door or whatever and he waved at her and left That's it. He wouldn't even go in the damn building. He would not go in the office But yet he expects them to be out there doing it Hmm Yeah, I'm not gonna do that because you know, I don't want to take that chance But you better go do it and you better get your shot or I'm gonna fire you I told her, you know, I let them fire you screw that, you know, she's looking for a job when she found this one I'm you know, I'm over People pressuring me. You should get the shot. You should do this and And it'll make you better and No, no, I mean it's getting bad down here how they close Her aunt and uncle, they'll be here tomorrow. They're gonna come over and spend the day with us But they come down which they didn't get to last year Well, they didn't get to what last year And a year before last because the borders were closed because they're from canada. They come down every year for a couple months and um They go over new smurna beach and they stay over there in condo And they just made it. They just just got in they closed the borders Just so we don't know how long they'll be closed so they might be stuck down here for a while But you know, I mean it's getting bad down here really bad down here Nobody wears masks You know monkey wears two or wherever she goes. I always put on a mask, but I stay home a lot You know But um, like if we gotta go to the store or something, you know, you got to do that But you have to you know, you wear your mask. I mean and people's not wearing a mask They don't understand, you know, you guys that are against wearing masks. It's not for you Anyway, it's for the next person. So you don't give somebody something And you can still be a carrier even though you get that shot because you can still get it So you can still be a carrier carrier, but you don't have to wear your mask But this person that that that hasn't been vaccinated Um, that hasn't got it hasn't been sick He you know, he's not allowed to do nothing. I don't care. You know, I really don't care, you know I mean as long as we can go to the store and get some supplies here and there I'm good with that. If I got to wear a mask out. I'm good with that. Okay. I'm not against that I'm against forcing someone to put something in your body and if you don't, you know Your career is gone Yet that same person won't even won't even go in the office because they're scared But yet you better get that shot and you better go to work every day But I'm not going in. Nope. I'm gonna set that stuff over there. You know, that's not right. That's bullshit So anyway guys, that's my little rant. I know I said that once already so fire's pretty well down now Well, the fire's down. Just got a little bit of smoke there. I'm gonna go ahead and wet that down and See what else we can get into so Anyway, stick around. I'm sure there'll be more to come. Okay, so this is what But monkeys wanting to do monkey wants to put a like a bird feeder out here and get some bird feeding stuff and put a live stream on the bird feed because she's been watching these birds people has been doing that and I guess they're really liking it the live stream of watching the birds I thought her sure I'll build your bird feeder and we can do that but The problem I'm having is we've got so many squirrels here That's why we don't get birds in our bird houses that I built because the squirrels get in there and the squirrels chase the birds away Same way with the bird bats. She's got a couple bird bats And it's very rare to see a bird in them because usually you see the squirrels in them So it may turn out to be a squirrel live stream. I don't know because you know You go putting bird seed out here and them squirrels are really going to come in. I know The other dad let Bruno out here and there was four in this one tree over here by the shed And there was one over here by the garden over here to my left and so I don't know if that may end up being on be a squirrel live stream thing, but You know, whatever she wants we'll do that. I don't care She's like, well, I just thought it was a good cause she's excited about it. And I'm like, no, we can do it It just made we may catch more squirrels than than birds, but you know At least it'll be some kind of wildlife. So We want to do well. She wants to do that for a while. So I told her, you know, yeah, I'll build your bird feeder so it's going to do it this weekend, but I don't know because you know Her aunt and uncle she talked to him last night and they want to come come over tomorrow for a while You know, because they haven't seen, you know, that's Her mom's sister and her husband that's coming. So, uh, you know, she hasn't seen her in a couple years So they want to come over. So I'm going to make some homemade chicken noodle soup form and uh, you know, they don't like he Randy, you know, they're getting up every year. So Randy, he don't like to drive at night. So They'll they'll be here pretty early and they'll they'll leave early so they get get back there before dark Because it's like a two-hour drive I think something like that from here Because you know, that's on the other coast of florida so um but yeah So we're gonna We're talking about doing that. So probably do that for for a little bit and see how that goes and um Yeah, I think it's a great idea. I just don't think we'll get many birds because the squirrels I think so this is going to come in and eat all eat up all the because I've put birdseed out here before We used to feed the birds, but the squirrels pretty much ate them. Some birds will come but hopefully, you know Hopefully they Some of the birds can get in there and get some feed to and get in the bird baths and get their drinks and And whatnot. So we're gonna be we're gonna try that. I got that all uh the fires all out now So Yeah, just want to bring you along with that kind of like a little vlog type thing Sorry about the rain. It's just you know, I mean Somebody threatens you with your career your job your livelihood You know because they think something's good for you But them themselves won't even go into the office that they make her go into every day eight hours a day I just don't think it's fair and I don't think it's right. So You know, I know if it was my job, but it's easier for me Um, when I was when I was allowed to work. I mean, I can find work anywhere. I can do pretty much there is anything to do, but You know, somebody threatened me like that. I would have walked that day. It's really she's the only one they got Working right now because everybody else is sick So, yeah, I you know, if they don't appreciate you more than that You know, they expect you to do stuff. They don't even want to come close to doing. I just don't think it's right I I would have told them, uh, you know what see I'm walking But that's just that's just me, you know, because you know, I try find a I can find a job in two days It it doesn't matter But you know, she she loves her job. She loves her career And to have somebody threaten her career like that It's just not right and they don't even want to go into the office they own Because they're so scared but yet they expect everybody else to do it. It's not fair All right, well Let me see If there's anything else to talk about. Okay, so I thought I'd just come out and take A few of these lights down So she don't have to worry about it. She usually does. She usually takes the stuff down every year but Just to help her out a little bit I'll go ahead and get some of this stuff Get some of this stuff taken care of Hope you guys can hear me Got the wireless mic on Oh, I borrowed hers Okay, so there's this All right, I'm done Uh, okay, so Check check check. All right We love the lights though I thought they turned out pretty good this year for Not having a lot next year If all goes well next year should be We should have Quite a bit of stuff up Like I said, if everything goes right Now I need to get that taken down up there. I'll bring you over here with me Hope everyone's having a Hope everyone's having a good new year so far and remember As a kid We never decorated the house so But we always had a lot of lights on our tree because we always had nice tree but Remember my mom Because every year you're going to have to buy a new string of lights pretty much Well a couple years we didn't but Anyway, all these lights That's when they had the styrofoam, you know inside the uh Inside the light boxes Man, we used to have to put all these these lights back in the boxes the way they came out Oh my god That was That was rough And that took some time because you know, you just get them out of the boxes. He's popping them out Put them back in, you know running them wires and putting each bulb into its own little Hole that it went into Yeah and I thought she had it rough because she said when she was a kid her mom my grandmother When they put the tinsel on the tree the silver stuff We call them icicles They used to have to put it on one strand at a time Well when she got on her own of course She wasn't gonna do that anymore they had What they called a tree drape It was the icicles but It was all one piece And you'd start at the top and it would go down, you know over the tree, right? She said those were bad too They'll make them any more that made them in many many many years But you would walk past in the static that thing would jump out and snap you, you know one of them Because I remember We used to do that rubber feet on the carpet and go over and watch the thing come out and snap us and see the sparks Yeah this Yeah, reminiscing I know a lot of you younger people Don't think a lot about that right now, but you will when you get my age you know 53 this month so Yeah, you guys will you guys will be doing the same thing talking about You know, it's a little stuff. You know what I mean the little stuff that that you miss and Just things like that That you know nothing stays the same just part of life But you can always you know, they can't take this room. They can't take it, you know I don't even think you guys are in shot now Or I'm in shot but you can't you know, he just They can't take it all from me. You know, he's you still have your memories And uh, I got a sun glare Let me move you over here. There we go Got you in the shade man. I was out back I was going to talk to you guys some more up back, but geez I was getting eat up by mosquitoes Like you would not believe This is uh going to be in the near future of this project. I was going to do it this week but Well, I didn't I've got the wood I need I'm just going to use the same hardware And I'll use this as a template A lot of sirens today Now see if I can do this Did this last year and I fell on my ass There we go. We did it. I'll get these ones down off the house for her This is her hook for her hummingbirds that Brian and mortal sent to her She really loves these things Okay, here we go Okay, here we go There we got them guys up there It's so pretty at night too They don't last a long time because they don't get full sunlight out here And you still didn't see nothing did you? Oh, well Anyway, I was up there Oh Geez So I'm gonna Trying to get you guys out of the sun So I'm going to take these lights down off the front here It doesn't start getting real tall until I get over on that end For some reason you would think this would be the tall end, but It's not probably because I'm up on this pavement Hope the mic's still working I do have those plastic clips that you clip these lights on with but They break a lot Especially up north when they get cold to break down here the heat gets to them they break So I just put some Uh drywall screws in like inch inch and quarter drove them in and Just kind of give it one wrap You know just kind of go Around it wants to keep going over here Take our gigantic ball down Check check. Okay I like this camera's got Analog on it So as you're talking you can see that your mic's working or if I'm on one side or the other You know corresponds to that So that's handy Because your mic can stop working anytime I can periodically check You know And know If my mic's working So that's a great feature on this uh ax 53 Um So My drone's back or it's done. It's on its way back. It'll be here Tuesday the 11th Um They got it What was it the fifth They got it the fourth Anyway, they had it one day and had it fixed in there It's supposed to be being sent back so I don't know if they fixed it that quick Or If it couldn't be fixed and they just sent me another one, but That was fast So hopefully if Well, it can be fixed that's not the issue sometimes To fix something is not feasible for a big company, you know To pay their workers so many hours of time To fix a drone when they can just send them a new one Might be better off doing it that way So I don't know if that's what they did but anyway, it's on its way here back already so I don't uh I know they were supposed to uh If they couldn't fix it or if it wasn't feasible for them to fix it They're supposed to send me a new one. So hopefully they didn't Screw up drop the ball and just go we can't fix it and send it back to me because We got two-year warning on that thing Um, well, it's it's uh insurance not a warranty. It's insurance The only thing they don't cover is theft Or being run over by a car So Not this this ball down. I think that's hanging down there. It looks like full of water Over here Looks like that's full of water Up there Yep, it is Probably want to get wet These I think they're called elephant ears Man, they're taking over How do these lights when I was doing all these lights here the little snowmen? uh I couldn't remember where monkey got them. They were her mothers That's probably why I couldn't remember But yeah, they were her mom so They're very old you can tell You can tell tell by the plastic On them that Yeah, they're They're very old Come be real careful with them I think they got the regular bulbs in them too Yeah, I think I'm gonna try to go with some LEDs next year This one come up with extra money because that stuff's expensive. I want to choreograph them lights Or to music All right now That's down Now I gotta roll the wire up Well, the lights up. You know what I mean, right? Let's see Yeah, just kind of You know doing a little bit of this and that For her Now The last night we had these lights on The ones over at the window Half of them went out And the other half started blinking Next night They weren't blinking anymore, but the other half was still not on so I'm probably Just going to dispose of those ones and Well, I usually try to save some of them for You know bulbs You know, let's get bulbs running out or burning out So I don't know Even sun's bright. It's hot out here guys Like I said, how's around back? Here it is January 7th and uh Getting heat up by mosquitoes and sweating sweating my tail end off here What I do is always go backwards From the way I put them up You know what I mean? So if I ended here, that's where I'll start taking them back down Probably ruined my hat. My good. This is my good hat. This one with the lights on it All right. Yeah, I'll probably Save this thread also guys What you can do is um If you got The string of these lights that are out You can save them because they were great as extension cords for other lights I'm not talking about Plugging in an air conditioner in it or nothing like that no toasters or but you know to plug in like You want to set of lights over here? You don't have an extension cord Well, here's your extension cord you plug this in Then you run the end of it Over to where you got to run it There's your extension cord So I may save it just for that because I used absolutely every extension cord I had well, I've been doing it for a couple years now Uh, so when I need one I really don't have one. You know what I mean? So All right guys, I guess I'm gonna call this video here Thanks for joining me. I appreciate it Thanks for listening to me to my little chat my talk my vlog.
