Progress Not Perfection
United States
Приєднався 26 гру 2019
Focus on making progress, not being perfect.
I use video projects as motivation towards the pursuit of long term goals in all sorts of things from health & fitness to music and photography, and hopefully many more. It's about progress towards the goal, focusing on each stage of the journey, and not focusing on being perfect. Some say striving for perfection is the best way to reach great heights, but for others this approach leads to an immediate road block. Road blocks like frustration, self-doubt, and even quitting all together. I've found that, for me, focusing on the smaller goals, and learning from other people's experiences, leads to greater success in the end. Focus on making progress, not being perfect.

How to Unclog a Sink in an a 100 Year old House
I had some guests coming to visit for this past Christmas 2023 and I new we needed to address this slow drain in the main bathroom. Thanks to This Old House I was able to figure out why I wasn't having any success with snaking the drain until now.

I try this cutting method to repair my cracked and broken 18" Oriental Crash of Doom. I had tried drilling out the end of the crack to stop it from spreading, but the stress eventually makes it past the hole. We try this method from Mike Levitsky's channel.

How to Replace Your Old Delta Faucet
Переглядів 88Рік тому
Since we moved in, our kitchen faucet would drip constantly. But recently it was so bad I'd come down in the morning to see it running a steady stream directly into the pitcher we used to save the water. A plumber was too expensive so we bought a new faucet, assessed the situation, and got lucky that replacing the faulty shut off valve below the sink was all it needed to properly connect the ne...
What it Means When a Husky Golden Mix Blows Its Coat
Переглядів 407Рік тому
My dog Hunk is a Husky, Golden, Ovcharka, Rottweiler mix. So like 98% of him sheds profusely. This isn't new to me though having had a husky and golden retriever growing up. Normally Hunk would go to the groomer when he'd blow his coat while we lived in the apartment. Since we have outdoor space now I decided I'd give it a honest try and comb him out myself. I made a solid dent but we brought h...

Take it All in Stride - Our First Fire Pit

We've had a lot to clean up in order to get our yards ready for grass to grow. And, with projects everywhere we turn, we just focus on one thing at a time. But, it's important to take breaks, and get some rest too. After making great strides this past month, we're about to take a break by the fire pit grilling up some hot dogs. I can get used to this.

I Bought a 100 Year Old House So This is My Life Now
Переглядів 540Рік тому
My wife and I finally bought a house after 2 yrs of what seemed like constant searching. The only way we could get into the market was buying a 100 year old house, taking it in "as-is" condition. This means everything we touch leads to an unexpected repair. This video doesn't even touch on all the things that are going on but if I listed them, the video would get boring or totally overwhelming ...

Last trip to the hill before the winter, was packing up the cabin and the rain finally cleared so I sent the drone up to capture the full hill.

My Super Connector (Happy Birthday to my Sister)
This is my favorite stream! I live along it and know it like the back of my hand
use a metal file to smooth the edges!! or else it will DEFINITELY crack again and probably faster than before
Appreciate the sound advice. All of my other symbols have a nice smooth edge, but the crash of doom is fairly squared and I’m worried that that’s the reason why it has cracked so many times over the years.
Look Amazing
Thank you so much for the comment. Vermont is a beautiful place, full of amazing views.
Aye this is cool man but we were horrendous
Appreciate the kind words. My friend and I will admit we kind of set the bar low. ;) We started developing soccer specific content on another channel called @redbullsrabble. We started covering the season to try making a video per match. You may enjoy some of that content too.
The vibration of the cymbal is the secret to sustain. Great stuff sir
Appreciate the kind words friend. The crash of doom has some of the most insane sustain I've seen/heard. Love me some thin cymbals.
this method is the only way. buy edge cracked cymbals for 20 bucks and do this. Im not a fan of bright rock cymbals but I need them for recording so rather than spend a bunch of money I did this to a bunch of cracked cymbals I got for under 40 dollars a piece. works great no one knows the recordings are done on cracked cymbals
That’s a great idea! If you get pretty good at trimming them down, you can start making symmetrical designs too. Appreciate the dialogue.
@@NotPerfection if it cracks that way that's ideal. usually, I just prioritize smoothness and preserving as much bronze as possible.
Great results 😊!
I think so too! Thanks for watching.
I have a couple old broken cymbals laying around. I'll give this a try. Might get a cool sound out of em.
I’m telling you it worked. Just make sure you’re cutting long swooping cuts so you don’t leave a new stress point for the symbol to break. I don’t think this method would work around the bell. A lot of my symbols are showing some stress fractures there.
Neat. Sounds so much better after. Cool stuff.
Thanks, I think so too! I’m just happy to have it back in the lineup.
I'm in the same boat, brother
It’s the spice of life isn’t it? I just hope that at least I can keep the house from getting any worse than it was when we bought.
Sounds great!!!!
Feels like I got my favorite cymbal back.
Captured the picturesque hills and scenery, and nice dramatic sound track. Great video
Thanks so much! It's so peaceful up there. I'll have to try and send up the drone before the clouds clear out in the morning. It's a site to be seen.
Nice, I got to see my cabin, Jeff is doing a great job having it cleared out. Thanks
Of course! I always aim to give everyone a nice view of their camps. Jeff is definitely putting in some good work.
Jordan...loved this and the stuff looks amazing
Thank you Diane. We hope to include Jordan on future video projects! Once he's settled in to his new place.
Very creative beginning of video!
Thanks, it was fun to put together.
I love watching my grand puppy ❤
Isn’t he the best? Lol
I love the beginning of the video with the dramatic music and silent movie style! Very creative! Beautiful dog too!
Thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed it.
Handsome !
Thank you. One of the handsomest around!
This guy must have some awesome coworkers
Couldn’t ask for better!
Yummm

So proud of you guys! I can't wait to watch (and stalk) your channel for updates!
Thanks Santeka. The Wheels are turning for sure. There's a handful of stories that can be told already.
Very cool! Best of luck in the new home!
Thanks Vincent. Fingers crossed!
U can make your own pepper sauce insted of buying it i am from trinidad and i love doubles
One day I will make the pepper sauce. Currently we get some from my wife's family when they visit. Peppers fresh from their garden.
That was neat. That final drone shot was dope.
So happy you liked it. This remains the most fun I had shooting, editing, and watching one of my videos.
That was fun!
See my reply to Vincent.

Felt more like a Starsky and Hutch moment to me but I see what you did there...clever.
Let's get my bud right back where he belongs, behind the drumkit! 💪
It does feel good to practice again. I think I'll set up in my building's basement again soon.
S: is that uncle Jon?
No...it's the other one.
3 minutes = length of an average pop song ... good target
Dunno... 10 minutes = length of an average The Plush Interior song 😉😁
You know me so well sir!
Wonderful job! Makes me miss jamming with you even more. 🙂
Rock on!
Sweet
Thanks
You would... Cause I like oat milk haha 🤣 it doesn't make my tummy feel icky 😆... But it's higher in sugars than milk.
I refuse to acknowledge the sugar content of Oat Milk
I was there!!
Yes...yes you were lol.
Awesome 📸
Thanks 🤗
Good stuff!
Glad you enjoyed it
Solveig stole the show!
I don't know, there's some stiff competition. Lol
He's such a beautiful dog 🐕
He's our handsome man! Such a good boy. I have a feeling he's going to show up in more videos.
I love you guys so much
Thanks so much Nicole. We're thinking we'll do more videos in the future as a couple. It was fun.
Lol yes the KFC smh. Doubles as gifts lol yum
Kareisha brought me back both KFC and Doubles before. It's great. You see people on the plane eating it too lol!
Cute. 🙂
🤣🤣🤣🤣y'all are cute. So funny!
Haha, thanks Vincent!
So I take it you want to see more of our antics?
Fun memories! 💛 (I actually forgot about the glowing sticks jam 😁)
There's so much more content to dig through. There will be many more memories to enjoy in the near future.
Excellent.
Many thanks!
Lol. 😅 Very entertaining. (and arguably the best thing to be said about the frat house basement was indeed that it was free 😉)
Neat! 🙂
Glad you think so!
“I’m ready now.” Love the video.
Thanks friend! Your support is greatly appreciated.
Nice! I love the column transition shots.
Appreciate the feedback!
🤣 your #7 sister knows things!!!
Fair enough. No argument here.
Very touching message. Happy Birthday Inge! 🎂🎉
I love that he took the time to do this! I've been bugging him to take this darn enneagram test! 😆 Its always fun to hear how we influence people's lives!
Recognizing the people that helped you get to where you are today is a major factor in understanding who you are. Love you both!
snowy freezing cold...nice dogs enjoy playing with other dogs in the snow...giving you my full support friend.
Thank you very much!
I love dogs and cat! New friend here
