Oh Guillaume, I’m truly honored and thrilled having your gracious, detail review and attention on every element in my video…your opinion and keen observations are so very valuable to me…thank you! You have an open invitation to visit and join me anytime…for me it would be a masterclass from a master himself 🙏. Wow, you have such a keen eye to catch my missed opportunity on those lawn chairs! I got so fixated on the miniature “Easter Island Head” replica facing the morning Sun and underground utility marking lawn flags I completely missed seeing those colorful lawn chairs and their shadows against the garage door until after watching my video when I noticed the missed opportunity shooting those! Man, you do have a scrutinizing perception of so many details…you really are at another level my good man! 🫡…very impressive!! I plan to try a “city walk” soon in nearby Grand Rapids and actually start learning to use my R8 as I know it’s a matter of just using it and learning. Grand Rapids is 2nd largest city in Michigan (Detroit is obviously #1 largest) so I hope to have more “traditional street photography” style video/photos. Again, I can’t thank you enough for your valuable review and feedback and I can accept, handle and frankly need all your criticisms knowing that’s how I can improve. Please forgive me for always pushing “money-making” ideas but I do think you could offer your critical reviews like this on aspiring videographers/photographers here on KZfaq even in a “per-video” pricing model and make a bit of a side-hustle. I know I feel I just got “free advice” from a real master and I truly value your opinion…thank you so much for taking your precious time from your loaded schedule of work and tasks in your own life! ❤️❤️❤️✌️

I meant to answer on the flowers…yes, I think those are hydrangeas and some homes have giant specimens in their landscaping…I love those, too! My wife is very upset that her own flowers in our borders and landscaping beds have been devoured by a gang of rabbits that seem to call our backyard their home. I think our fenced yard provides them some protection from any predatory foxes in our area but now my wife has even hinted to me it may be time to get lethal with them😂. We won’t of course but it shows how far they’ve pushed my wife as her Summer-long efforts planting and caring for her flowers and plants ending as simply meal salads for the rabbits is starting to sway her away from humane treatment of them 🤣. I will need to install some tight-slatted fencing around her beds is what I’ve now promised her in hopes of providing some protection from these otherwise cute gangs of furry rascals living around our home…clearly they’ve caught on my little “patrol-dog” is no longer with us so I think they’re living their best lives and clearly thriving and propagating…I shouldn’t laugh but I can’t help but find it amusing seeing my otherwise animal-loving wife turn against these rabbits with such vengeance 🐇🐰☠️💀🤣

@@WorksIRL oh nooooo! KZfaq just erased my second answer to you.... 😔 I have to write it all over again. I'm going to make it shorter this time. I do understand Barbara's feeling as we had an ant invasions inside the house this summer. Since we operate the café they can smell the dishcloths we bring back for washing and get attracted by the food odor I guess. Sachiyo wanted to pick them up one by one to put them back outside, which is the most humane way, but I conduct my afternoon lessons here and I don't have time to catch all these tiny insects. So once my Love went away to her own school I did as usual, used the vacuum cleaner to take care of the floor regardless of the hundred little workers just doing what they are meant for 😣 I know it's very bad... Sachiyo is particularly sensitive to the wellbeing of the microscopic world since I introduced her the movie title "Seven Years in Tibet" from the French filmmaker Jean-Jacques Annaud with Brad Pitt in the main role. There is a scene where buddhist monks remove all the insects by hand on the place they decided to build the temple. She was very impressed with it, which was one of my goal showing her the movie that I love myself, but I didn't calculate all the consequences it would have on our life later on 😝 May Mother Nature understand and forgive us (you, Barbara and me) for our choice in this dilemma. On another note, Do you notice a difference of treatment between big and small channel? It seems that KZfaq isn't treating everyone equally. First, I turned on the notification bell to "all" on your channel, but nevertheless I don't get notified when you upload a new video. Second, the video stops loading every few mites as I am watching it, hindering the viewing experience. When in parallel I play a bigger channel video without any lagging. Is it just me or do you come across the same issues? Love from Japan!

@@DiligentDave1966 right!! Thanks for stopping over to watch this bit of a departure…been hitting Summer tasks/chores every weekend I needed a “getaway” topic for a change 😎

I was pretty impressed, too! Thank you for watching and sharing your positive observation...I appreciate you! 🙏

🤣Hey, that's true!! 😆I appreciate you watching and leaving me your positive vibes 🙏Mahalo!

I've had mine for about 10 years and it's been very useful. I think that "flow meter" assembly is its weakest link so keep an eye on any leaks developing around it. Mine, I could see the "housing" separating at the plastic seams and I think I may have used VERY hot water just before it sprang a leak so you might be okay sticking with just "warm" water, too...I suspect the very hot water from my hot water tank being turned up may have contributed to the plastic housing separating...just my theory. Good luck with your's and thanks for watching and taking time to leave your comment 👍

@@WorksIRL was ready to pull the trigger on a blacktop ‘23 GT but my insurance payment 2.25x’d so it’s just a bit out of my price range now sadly. really upset about it because i know it probably only skyrocketed because of my age (19)

@@WorksIRL any other recommendations?

@@Schmitty42 sadly, until you turn 25, insurance on any “sports/muscle” car is going to be problematic. I also like the Camaros and their V6 models are still cranking out numbers that used to be generated by V8s years ago so again, no slouches in power in their own right. Again, your age will fight you and make you pay top dollar. You might consider something entirely different like Subaru Crosstrek model with the 2.5L 4-cylinder boxer engine. The 2.0L won’t win any drags nor even the 2.5L but I think they’re athletic looking, practical for youthful outdoor activities, get decent mileage, usually reasonably priced and can offer some fun DIY lifts and skid plate “rally car” type mods to soup it up a it. I hope you find something you like but remember cars aren’t worth over extending your finances to get as the “newness” and excitement often fades before the long, expensive monthly payments. Please keep us posted and good luck!

I'm glad you found this helpful! I appreciate you watching and taking time to leave your nice comment! Be sure to read through your air compressor user manual to see what your brand recommends for routine draining, too. Good luck and work safely around air compressors!

No, any 2-stroke oil is likely going to work just fine! I'm sure the Echo Brand is high-quality but I'd hazard to guess most 2-stroke oil additives will suffice. Thanks for watching.

I really appreciate you watching and taking you valuable time to stop and leave me your nice comment! 👍Thank you!

Hey, nice of you to stop by and watch this, Guillaume! I appreciate your viewership! My wife and I struck up a conversation with a local we met on the dock who "spilled the tea" (as my daughter would say 🤣) about the owner of the yacht and from that I admit I "Google-searched" the specifications. It's rather like seeing a super-tanker amongst the relatively "small" cabin cruisers in that freshwater lake marina. Very impressive to see up close and I wish I'd posted it sooner as it was a few years ago now but as you noted, the day was so perfect I felt it was still worth posting. Thanks again for stopping by! 🙏

@@WorksIRL I've learned a new word thanks to you my friend. Viewership. Thank you for telling me the background story of your video. It's never too late to share such a beautiful and rather exceptional view. It must be even more impressive in real life as it already is through the lens.

No, the AMSOIL P.I. Performance Improver recommends a bottle every 4,000 miles and I likely do it even less frequently than that but I do try to drop in a bottle a couple times per year. Many will say "snake oil" but my "seat-of-the-pants-o-meter" truly feels a difference so I personally think it's worth the money. Thanks for watching and let us know if you decide to try a bottle and what you think.👍

Your Granite sleeper sounds great! 💪I truly think those Challenger GTs are a great choice with plenty of opportunities to take it to beast-mode as you stated! Keep-on enjoying your cool muscle car and thanks for watching and sharing your ride with us! 👍

It's nice to hear someone else state that as well! 💪Honestly, if I had owned this Liberty back in my teens through my early 30s, my forearms were much thicker and would never have fit through those steering/suspension components to reach that oil filter.

I agree with you! During the days following this announced Lastpass breach, the supposed "experts" were exhibiting how Lastpass still hadn't fully rectified their means of "encrypting" their keys databases to an acceptable level as compared to methods used by competing services. I'd like to think they rectified the issues soon after the public scrutiny was shining a light on them. Thanks for watching and sharing your observations and advice!👍

I really appreciate you watching and noticing the "multi-cam" attempt I was trying to capture...you're very kind to take your valuable time to stop into the comments and say so!! 🙏

You're definitely right about that! 🤣I wrestle with balancing letting out too much and the "auto-cut blade" leaving short pieces laying around my yard or I go the other way and have it so short sometimes I need to stop and remove the "speed-reel" and rethread the string because it pulled back up into the bump-head 😆Another challenge is trying to maintain the proper rotational speed so I'm constantly adjusting the finger-throttle...I tend to spin it slower where I'm likely to hit the house siding or the aluminum yard fence...both tend to get damaged when I'm spinning that line super-fast and strong but no damage when I'm taking it easy on that switch...I get "rusty" when I first use it every season until I get my "swing back" and keep the line length and rotational speed mostly-optimized for grass length and conditions. Thanks for watching and sharing your observational advice!

I truly appreciate hearing that as it makes posting my video worthwhile as I'd hoped it would do just that...help someone! Thanks for watching and taking your valuable time to stop back and leave your nice comment! 🙏Best of luck to you and let us know how things go with your 2-stroke small engine!

@@faaabio shocker, right?!! 🤣Thanks for watching 👍

These 2-stage snowblowers are tricky to troubleshoot in my opinion. I had similar symptoms prior to this and made a video regarding the belt and even then it was not intuitive...so much in fact, as I write this I'll need to re-watch my own video because I made that older one to remind my future self which belt to change 🤣. I always think it's the "auger belt" but it turns out to be the "drive belt"...or vice versa...see? I can't remember every time! Please check out that other video of mine and see if you think it might be your belt. If you figure it out, please stop back and let us know! Thanks for watching!

@@WorksIRL I also replaced the auger belt when it snapped 2 winters ago so it’s not that. We even adjusted the governor so it would rev to the moon and still doesn’t have power. I think it’s time to retire the old 5hp and I’m looking at MTD 8 or 10 horsepower 24 inch snowblowers used so I can really not bog down lol

@@Matthew_Does_To_Many_Things That does sound nice having "full power" 🫡 One other thing I'm curious to check on mine is a small "spring" that applies pulley tension against the auger belt (may be one for the drive belt, too). I may pull it off and "spread it" a bit to provide a bit more tension or even source a "new spring" just to see if it makes any difference. Good luck on your's and stop back and let us know if you do get a bigger, meaner snowblower 💪Thanks again for watching!

Thank you for watching and taking your valuable time to leave me your nice comment in return! 🙏I assure you I gets lots of "negative" comments which makes video creating very challenging after awhile so your nice, polite comment was literally just what I needed to see...thank you, truly! I see your channel name and presume you may be a photographer, artist, writer or creative in some way but you don't have any public content on this particular channel. I realize you may have multiple channels and this is just your "comment identity" 😎If you are new to KZfaq or have hesitations on starting your channel, feel free to reach out (my email is in my channel "About") if I can be of any assistance or a sounding board if nothing else. I'm certainly no expert but I certainly can listen and try to help where I can. Peace and thanks again for your kind remark! 🙏

You're right, that is a real hazard. I was amused how this galvanized tub was sold right next to "fire rings" from the same manufacturer using what looks and described/labeled as the exact same "galvanized metal". Granted, a "ring" may not necessarily get as red-hot as a tub containing the burn but they weren't much larger in diameter as this tub so they'd have to get nearly as hot in my opinion. I suspect I've used my tub so many times by now that any "zinc" or galvanic bonding has likely been "burned away" but you're right it is something to beware. Thanks for watching and sharing your concern. 👍

You're right, the topic isn't as Earth-shattering as all the dancing-cat videos here on KZfaq shorts but it seems to have helped a few folks who haven't changed their edger blades before 🤣. Thanks for your viewership and leaving your comment which helps the KZfaq machine push this out to more viewers! 👍

I made my video almost two years ago and haven't visited their Amazon store in awhile. Unfortunately, I don't see them listing crossbars for the Subaru Forester any more at all. I see a model for the Crosstrek and Impreza. I'd like to suggest you contact ASSYAUTO directly to ask them but I'm not sure I saw any "contact info" on their Amazon store. Check to see if you can find way to ask them a question as I may have just missed it. I suspect the "Wilderness" edition Forester may have slightly bigger/beefier roof rails so you're asking a valid question and I'm sorry I can't answer that for you. Good luck and please stop back and let us know if you get any answer...thanks for watching!

Did you buy the R8 Creator's kit with this included microphone or did you buy the microphone separately? How do you like this microphone? Thanks for watching!

I wish I could but I suspect shipping costs would likely cost as much as the camera itself. Do you own any camera now and if so, what is it? Do you have a smartphone with a built-in camera? If so, it's likely as good if not better than a GoPro except for the ability to withstand harsh operating conditions like the GoPro. Thanks for watching!

I agree with you on it's painful having to throw away so many quart bottles given most recycling operations refuse to accept used motor oil plastic bottles. AMSOIL does sell a "1-gallon" jug which I've been using lately but get this...it costs MORE per ounce than the single quart bottles...that really bugs me! It's like American Heinz catchup where unlike most products where you pay less per unit buying the larger container, the smaller container is actually cheaper per ounce...go figure! Regarding the proper disposal of the used oil, I just answered a fellow that basically took me to task on not delivering some epic idea on my "shorts" video titled "What DIYer does with used motor oil". He expected some epic idea and was utterly disappointed and lambasted me for showing taking my used motor oil to a local auto parts retailer to properly dispose and recycle my used motor oil...classic "you just can't please everybody" 😆Thanks for watching this video and sharing your thoughts on the AMSOIL packaging...again, I agree with you! 👍

@@WorksIRL ask them why it costs more to sell one gallon? Say to them People are not happy about having small bottles, why are they not willing to help the environment!! as well? see what they say. it might change their minds and offer it slightly at a discounted price even 50 cents or a dollar.

@@jedi-mic I will send AMSOIL a "comment to the editor" type remark expressing what you're rightfully asking. AMSOIL has a "Preferred Customer" magazine they publish quarterly and I'll see if I can get an answer from them that way. Unfortunately, my cynical "business mind" likely knows the answer in that there's probably a profit/loss sheet that shows they either make more from the quart bottles per unit even though it may cost more in materials but when they take into account "inventory rotation" and other factors...but, given what seems like a more environmental focus some corporations are at least trying to show, maybe they'll provide some change. Thanks again for sharing your opinion. 👍

@@WorksIRL yes they probably make more money from quarter bottles but that's not the point is it??. isn't it about ethics we're trying to eliminate plastics as much as possible not add more, I would go to the extent that they should put them in metal tins again metal tins are still available for oil. and the government offer a rebate if you use non-plastic containers because of the extra weight, I'll put it to Karmela Harris. Not so much with metal tins I don't think there's much in it but with glass and Tupperware what should come back more,A rebate tax should be offered to companies or bi gradable plastics. Yeah let me know what they say if it gets in that is ;) if we all bang the Drum hard enough they might listen! Tell them to do a survey, would you buy our oil over the competition if we went more green with using less plastic or alternatively using tins containers.

@@jedi-mic I like your thinking! 👏Gosh, I recycle every ounce of metal in my life to the point of obsession! 🤣I can’t stand seeing metal objects in the garbage bins in my neighborhood to be thrown into landfills! I like your idea of going back to oil cans…so much better than plastic in landfills. 👍

😆Now that would be exciting! Right up there with reading our car user manual chapter on "Your Trunk and Welcome to It!" 🤣Sorry my video disappointed you but it's shocking how many DMs I get from folks asking "...but what am I supposed to do with the used motor oil if I venture to change it myself." 🤷🏻‍♂so, I have to give the viewers what they want. Thanks for watching and again, sorry I didn't have any "super cool and terrific new heating oil contraption" to show off. Thanks for the view and the comment...helps jump my video up in the the 'ol KZfaq "machine" 🙏

You're right, hand-tight is usually sufficient. I got into habit of giving my oil filters a bit more of a tighten after witnessing some "vibrating loose" and leaking on off-road vehicles, especially those that enter cold Winter months after having had their filters installed hand-tight in warmer months. Hand-tight usually does the trick, though. Thanks again for watching and sharing your insights!

Regularly changing the oil is the right answer but WFH has messed up how often I drive my vehicles so I found myself not needing to drive as often combined with some other life events and time just flies by. Thanks for watching and commenting!

You make a wonderful observation and conclusion of how high "the bar" has been set for horsepower given the explosion in factory model's so far beyond what used to be "powerful" decades ago 🤣. I really do think the V6 Challenger is more than enough for everyday driving knowing it's likely King of the Hill at any given time vs. the vehicles around it at any given time on the road. Not to mention it's not "out-of-control" type power but actual usable power as you point out. That's so cool you had one of the classic Buick's so many would love to have now! Funny how EV crossovers and peanuts will now blow the doors off even the biggest displacement ICE muscle cars without even trying but we still feel that excitement hearing an "engine" winding up with a throaty exhaust. I'm sort of glad we grew up at least having known and heard that as"the norm" for muscle. Thanks for watching and sharing your nice comment 👍

Thanks for watching and your concern 👍I can say I've lost 30-40 pounds since that clip and breathing easier...😎

Hmmm...now that you mention it I can see what you mean looking like that red Stingray from that movie 👍

It might be the mower deck spindle(s). They have grease zerks on top into which I try squeezing a few pumps of grease routinely. However, I've heard the grease may or may not even reach the bearings inside. The spindles on our X300 apparently are notoriously loud and often need replacing or rebuilding. Mine has one that's very loud but not "squealing"...more of a "rumble". I usually attribute squealing to a slipping belt on a pulley or sheave. Too much or too little tension from the belt spring (likely too little tension if the spring doesn't keep the belt taut enough). Grease on a belt surfaces of sheave or pulley might also cause the belt to slip and squeal. The other possibility is the PTO bearing driving the mower deck belt directly underneath the engine. It has a clutch mechanism and might be worn out. I've not changed mine, yet, but I suspect it could also "squeal". Good luck and keep us posted what you find out! Thanks for watching!

Sadly, GM eliminated the Pontiac brand back during the financial crisis in 2008 when General Motors became "Government Motors" when they ran themselves out of business and had to take a U.S. tax-payer bail-out to restructure. Sadly, Firebird last rolled off the assembly line in 2002 so over two decades without the "Screaming Chicken" TransAm grumbling out of the factory. I like the Chevy Camaro but I always liked the front-ends on Firebirds and TransAms better.

@@WorksIRL I also liked the looks of the Pontiac Solstice and Saturn Sky. They were basically the same car, but it was sort of sad to see them discontinued.

I liked those, too! I grew up and lived first part of my life in Metro Detroit Area of Michigan where you often see new models being driven by engineers before they'd hit showroom floors. One of our family was a GM engineer and drove a Pontiac Solstice long before it was released. Such a sweet car with a manual shift making for fun drives on a warm Summer night 👍

@@WorksIRL I knew someone who owned the Solstice, and I worked with someone who owned the Sky. You literally couldn't tell them apart, but they were cool looking cars. Rear wheel drive roadsters seem to be a thing of the past, unless you can afford a Corvette.

@@DiligentDave1966 I haven't checked recently but maybe Mazda Miata/MX5 may still be rear-wheel drive convertible roadster...may even still offer it in a stick-shift/manual transmission, too. Again, that may have been stopped. Not the most "manly-looking" sports car but I always liked them...I sat in one at the Detroit North American Auto Show at least 2-3 decades ago and it was like putting on a perfectly-fitting glove...just wrapped around you and felt like it was part of you...seemed like it could be a very fun car those little Miatas!

Good luck and keep us posted how it goes! Thanks for watching!

That sounds like a good plan! I was going to use a similar connection to the battery jumper cables from the external battery but the jumper cable's rather large clamps were so unwieldy it seemed like it may be a bit tricky to not accidentally short positive to ground or have the camps pull off as I was removing/installing the old/new battery. Good luck and work safely. Keep us posted how it goes. Thanks for watching and stopping by to leave your nice comment 👍

I think that's a great idea! Check your user manual but if I remember correctly your Osmo Action4 is water-proof as-is down to 18 meters and 60 meters if you use the protective case. Even though it's already water-proof up to diving down 18 meters under water, I think having that protective case is a good idea in salty ocean water to save having that salt water residue on rubber door gaskets, etc. At minimum, I'm sure your user manual will suggest rinsing it with clean, fresh water after every underwater use. Even used in fresh water I think rinsing with fresh, clean water is prudent as you see in my video even "fresh water" can be a bit "dirty", too. Thanks for watching and sharing your nice feedback! 👍

@@WorksIRL with you help i have decided to get the case as an extra ptotection.. thankyou wish well

I can see stacking them would be a nice benefit of not bending in those tabs. I have a spot in my garage on the floor out of the way and usually carry these around the garage from their support arms so I like them staying in-place. When I post a short, I think I've seen some footnote stating they don't send out notifications for shorts but that may have been awhile ago, now. Thanks for finding it and watching!

@@WorksIRL I’m a little jealous. My garage is in such disarray, I have to move stuff out of the way just to get my jack stands off of the shelf. 🤣

@@DiligentDave1966 🤣I think you'd retract your comment when you saw my garage as I'm a classic example of "the more space you have, the more junk you have to fill it up!" 😆As I mentioned using the jack stand arms to lift and carry the jack stands is because they live in a gap next to the stairs from garage into my house along with a pile of "junk" I should throw away and those arms sticking up give me the chance to grab them from the sea of "junk" around them on that somewhat unusable floor space! 🤣At least you're using shelves which sounds much more organized 💪

@@WorksIRL My garage is supposed to be a 2 car garage, but the way it’s built only allows one car to fit comfortably. I thought that was great when we moved in. I can just stack stuff along the walls on either side of the car, and I will never need a storage unit again. Well, fast forward to about 2 years ago, and we had to get a storage unit. 🤣🤣
