 Eating an apple It's 4 59 p.m. Start the vlog a little later today Because trying to keep it a little little shorter. I'm now caught up from editing from the camping trip feels great and Go check that out yesterday's vlog out. I think you'll enjoy it a little drone measurements and shout out to the Hensley army, so basically gonna keep this shorter and Just work here at the patio all night That's true love It's cooking dinner inside. Thank you. Thanks, son But I'm gonna zip up to the swamp cooler. Yes inspect it. I have a suspicion that the leak is Quite gone not quite gone close, but not quite Let's go look So the nine volt battery died in the microphone, so this is gonna sound really tinty and not so good Tinny tinty tinny big moment though big moment Yeah, just one Said that you get why'd you get that why did you get it candy bar, but what did you just do in the potty? Got the batteries got the batteries So this is just audio from the camera Hopefully they're not owned by the same company Oh Can you hear me now? Can you hear me now? Just so you know, I know you're probably getting sick of me talking about the swamp cooler but When I left for there's water in the swamp for it right now And when I left for work this morning, there was a little leak onto the floor But now there's nothing and there's still water in the pan right now as we speak now It is not on because it's not very hot out right now So once again, it's like just a little bit of a mystery. Why is it leaking part of the day and not other times of the day? I do not know but I think we have slowed the leak that stuff that I sprayed on a couple days ago I think we have slowed it So we're just gonna keep fighting now. I'm gonna go up on the roof now. I just don't see Anywhere in here Where the leak is that because now it's dry Anyway, here is the water line And then here's another line and another line So I'm wondering if at its peak it was this high Last night before it shut off with the bobber thing But I I think the water is getting in Somewhere Right over here In that corner. I think this is the culprit area, but man as you can see I have sealed it three or four times So I I am actually going to drain it again Let it dry and Another shot so Listen folks. All right, I'm up on my roof enjoying the sunset soaking in some clouds Capturing it for you down on the yard show that to you in a second guys Be not afraid of the short vlog I'm a little concerned by some people who keep talking about how they're scared or have a little anxiety When they don't have enough footage for their daily video their daily upload listen people That's life. I didn't start this vlog till 4 59 p.m. Was it? Can't film the entire day. That's okay if the vlog turns into three minutes five minutes eight minutes Whatever that's okay. I remember having those anxious thoughts in my mind when I was just starting out on the YouTube It took me maybe a hundred and fifty vlogs before I realized like wait a minute. I'm just filming my life Why force it? Why why create something? That's not real and authentic just to fulfill a 10-minute video or a 20-minute video I mean some youtubers like every single video is 13 15 18 minutes And I'm like listen people you're pressing a little bit here now. I have seen the pendulum swing the other way as well I've seen youtubers go start out and say I'm gonna upload a new video for 365 days no matter what and that's it that's a commendable goal But then they realize how hard it is how difficult it is and they begin to digress So they start out with the six minute eight minute ten minute twelve minute vlogs that are really high quality with good B-roll they're entertaining to watch you're not bored while you're watching them and then they slip to the six to the five To the three to the two. I've seen it happen. I've all I'm saying is like this vlog today Probably gonna be about five to six minutes is my guess maybe seven which is on the shorter end of my Vlogs usually they're about seven to ten minutes roughly roughly Don't put yourself in a box saying I've got to hit five minutes. I've got to hit seven minutes I've got to hit twelve minutes. Don't put yourself in that box Simply live life. Huh? How about we just live life people enjoy life a little as my uncle would say let's enjoy life a little Okay, it's YouTube. It's YouTube. All right. Come on YouTube shouldn't dictate our happiness our joy our inner peace our Anxiety that it might create so create but don't force it is my tip of the day my thought of the day and That is my question of the day if you are a youtuber or or a vlogger or what are you know? If you're a creator, do you feel like you have to force it at times when it comes to creating? Media and if you do like why is that and how do you overcome it? That's the question of the day So that's my little riff. I'm just riffing with you and as I enter into The 450th vlog on this channel whatever I you know, whatever we're at somewhere in the 450s So I love you all keep keep keep filming keep editing keep seeking beauty Keep loving each other. Don't let YouTube get in the way of that love and And work hard in the process work hard in the process. I think I reverse those
