Target practice with the AAC Ti-Rant 45 on a Sig P229
Surprisingly, it doesn't hurt my ears. Seems to shoot more accurately with the suppressor. Reduces recoil but is light enough for all day shooting.

DynaTrap 6month test and review - 1/4 acre, 1/2 acre, 1 acre sizes
Переглядів 9 тис.4 місяці тому
Weighing the bugs after 1 season to see which trap caught the most. Overall these seemed to do their job, which was to reduce the number of mosquito bites. We had the fewest number of mosquitos after putting these up. I initially liked the 1/2 acre size and even bought one for a gift for someone. However, the fan stopped working halfway through the year, which was disappointing. The 1/2 acre si...
90% med school acceptance rate: Do this!

A small undergraduate university has figured out how to achieve an 89% acceptance rate into medical school. That's an astounding acceptance rate. If becoming a physician is in your future, you'd be wise to at least look into this program. Good luck. This isn't a typical video for me, I was just caught by the statistic in the paper.

How I inspect bees in the winter!
Переглядів 245 місяців тому
This appears to be a complete colony loss! I uploaded this short video to show you how well the Milwaukee M12 inspection camera works at inspecting a hive. I haven't seen this done before so thought I'd share the idea. In the past I have used a stethoscope and a thermal camera, but this is my favorite tool now to check on the bees. It is small enough to peek right inside the hive's entrance. No...

Easy way to Clean Dryer Vent
Переглядів 1828 місяців тому
House fires can be started by lint in the dryer vents. Here's how I clean my dryer vents. I use the dryer vent cleaner kit shown in this video, then I blow out the vent with a leaf blower from the inside of the house. It works very well. I'm not affiliated with it but here's a link to the kit I purchased: www.amazon.com/dp/B088GR7DM8 Thanks for watching.

Boring Tactile Turn Side Click Informational video
Not bad considering the moon is appr. 250,000 miles from us.
Agreed. It’s a good scope.
@@thelifeofriley7668 Gonna get me one. Should be as good as anything out there. Unless you spend a lot.
I think you convinced me to get a pole saw for mountain bike trail clearing mostly grass and light shrub.
I forgot I made this video :) I still use this tool for knocking back these grasses. Milwaukee does make an actual pole saw too, which is nice, and you can buy the 3ft extension for it as well. Have fun clearing trails!
@@thelifeofriley7668 I actually meant a pole hedge trimmer! My mistake, as per usual!
Consider wearing a dust mask next time.
Thanks brother went threw 3 dozen video’s of people half way explaining things and block everything with there hands so frustrating lol but thanks to your video I got it done thanks man Blaze on 🤙
I’m glad I found your video because I have the same head with the same way that you’re stringing that but I bought some of the auto feed that you can just twist and feed it to, but I was curious how you loaded this single head and now I know my question is though on the inside, there’s two of those little areas with the holes where you can put the string througha 10 foot section with a little bend through one of those holes and then put another section through the other hole instead of winding it or do you have to use one hole and do it the way you did it understand what I’m talking about
It’ll still work if you use both.
If you don't empty and clean them every few weeks the fans get clogged and stop so that's why your medium one stopped.....
@@albertawecker3984 Yep, you’re exactly right. cleaned it and it’s working fine now. I’ll upload another video showing that.
Great video, thank you 🤙
You’re welcome
oh hell yes. thank you so much. this is my new project for my dog
lol, you’re welcome. Have fun!
what percentage of all those bugs do you think were mosquitos? We're having a hellacious year for mosquitos up here in Minnesota. Would love to find a reliable way to thin the swarms.
It’s hard to say because the bugs kind of turn to dust. I’ll empty the traps before the end of June and look for mosquitoes.
you can get a mosquito bait to put in the trap
How does it attract the bugs?
From their website: 01 | LIGHT LURES INSECTS Lamp generates UV rays to attract flying insects, day and night 02 | FAN PULLS INSECTS IN Fan draws insects into the trap and a damper keeps them there 03 | EASY INSECT DISPOSAL Easily empty the catch basket with just the touch of a button
Where did u got the attachment. Can't find them anywhere.
Picked it up on Facebook marketplace. They made a lot of different attachments for this jawhorse, even a welding attachment. I use them all. I wish Rockwell was still making attachments.
Do you know if the ones made by Triton fit?
@@npp909I don’t. I was just going to make some out of angle iron if I couldn’t find these. I think a rough looking copy could be easily made.
I love this idea! You mentioned when people come over with a dog, you have somewhere to put them. Have you used this with multiple dogs at the same time? How do you do that? How do you keep them from getting tangled? I'd love to do this for our dogs!!
I’m glad you like it :) I spent a while thinking it up. I’ve only actually tried one dog at a time. Let me know if you do try with two how it works. I’m sure you could keep them separated completely with stop-knots and shorter ropes, but that’d greatly decrease the area they can roam around.
Don’t like the ends on your straps - use the ones with the triangle shape locking latch which locks over the hook…..
Thanks
Lower the implants as before you turn of the motor - always
Why?
@@thelifeofriley7668Basic Make that lower implements before getting out of operators seat -- (to much red or auto spell check) ---- 101 safety - here is my take ---- I was a manager in several nearby coal mines and also farmed - lowering all implements and attachments to the ground before leaving the operators seat is basic 101 safety - and taught at all operator training - a worker would be disciplined for leaving a bucket or blade etc of the ground and leaving the operators seat. Just think in your case - leave an implement above the ground and young children happen along start playing around the machine - the potential is for one to pull the lever while another is under a raised implement --- even adults fiddling with levers can pin themselves or others etc ---- Or highly likely in your case you bump or catch a lever in your clothing getting on and off the machine. and bingo! ---- Phew long winded but safety is important!
Do you enjoyed your backyard while those mosquito buzzing machines are working? Any mosquito bites?
The traps are great. They trapped a lot of bugs and I had noticeably fewer mosquitos last year. The fans aren't bothersome at all. I don't hear the small ones outside. The largest one can be heard if you're near it, but I don't go near it often. Hope this helps.
Good video and have a good day
Thanks!
Thanks.....works perfect! Hard to find this head installation......
Glad it helped!
Ohhh I like the idea of having the run low instead of high up
Nice! I’m curious how this idea has been working for people. If you end up giving it a try, let me know how it worked out.

lol, appreciate the comment.
How will it go cutting tree roots thanks
It’s great for tree roots! I use it to cut tree roots when removing stumps.
Thankyou aussie@@thelifeofriley7668
We have started using our 9kg bottles on our instant hot water and for the last 3 months it's hit cold cold cold hot. Read in forums today the gas freezes because it can't handle the high flow rate. We t outside and sure enough the copper line was cold asf..wet a rag under Tao and draped it over line. Instant hit water. Just wanted to share incase someone having this issue.
Nice! Yep, my understanding is the conversion of propane liquid to gas is an endothermic reaction and requires a large amount of energy from its surroundings, such as from the tank or lines. The water has enough thermal mass for this reaction so the flow rate doesn’t slow.
Which is the rope? The one attached to the collar or the ground??
There are two ropes. One rope is on the ground. The second rope is attached to the dog's collar on one end and attached to the ground rope on the other end. Hope that helps.
Fine I won’t get a fence.
You can still have your fence! 😂
Looks great! We're looking to rebuild a similar walkway over 90' on dry to muddy duff depending on the weather and over a stream in wetland that was previously built with 10x6x6 directly on the ground with 34" cross boards. There has been too much shifting and sinking with this design and we are looking for solutions. What are your results after 3 years? Have your logs sunk disturbing the level? Do you get frost heave in your area? Does your area flood causing it to wash away? If so, did you find solutions or create another walkway? (link to another video?)
Thanks! We visited the site recently and were surprised and amused that this bridge has held up so well after all this time. It was just made from scrap and the logs aren’t anchored in the ground at all. The water flow doesn’t seem to bother it because there’s so much space between the support logs. It’s still right where we put it, just looks a little dirtier.
Thanks for the informative. I've only removed and reinstalled my backhoe once. But you're calm demeanor makes me feel that I'll get better with time. I think I'll take your suggestion and buy on off the self. Thanks again.
You’re welcome. Thanks for watching and taking the time for the feedback. Take care.
Why do you run the tractor without the roll over protection up😢
Garage door clearance is low so I store it with ROP down. I usually put ROP up if it’s risky but that farm was on perfectly flat ground. You’re right though, ROP should always be up.
Does he get tangled in the rope?
Nope, it’s just a grassy field. Nothing to get caught on.
i saw them at Costco the 1/2 one
Size-wise, that one is my favorite. It’s also nice because it can be mounted on the wall.

Hi! Just got a news that Ricoh Pentax is launching their new Pentax PF 85 ED angled spotting scope and it will be with zoom eyepiece
I didn't see your comment until now. That scope looks nice! Have you tried it out?
@@thelifeofriley7668 no
This is pretty brilliant! So, a year later, how useful has this really been? Did it hold up well? Would you do anything different in its construction now that you've used it a while? Very good video!
Sorry, just seeing your comment. It has held up, although it spends most of it's life just sitting in the woods. I don't use it often, but when I do it's pretty handy. I put a lot of thought into it before I made it, not sure I would do things differently if I did it again. It hasn't been a problem, but ideally the chains should've been positioned lower.
Nice job
Spray the pvc with WD40.
I use a 3-pt snowblower now. I do spray the blower chute with WD-40, which does work. Snow shoots noticeably further after the WD-40.
Nice job!
Thanks!
I’ve used this exact setup twice now and the wear on the siding is minimal and excellent results while plowing. I have about 150’ of concrete driveway plus at least that much of asphalt street I clear for the neighborhood. I expect the first blade to last at least all winter (reversing it each use) and I still have the other half of the original siding board (48” bucket). Great idea!
Still using the original edge, haven’t needed to even reverse it yet. I like it when these simple solutions work so well. That being said, I’m using a rear 3pt wood max snowblower now, which does work even better for my drive.
I am wondering how powerful the motornis. By any chance you can tell the DC motor specs? Like HP, torque, Kw, RPM etc. Or model number?
I don’t know those details. Do you know where I’d look to find that info?
@@thelifeofriley7668 I actually found the motor part# from user manual. And google it, basically not much info available. Thanks for your response :)
Dual tank setup will fix the issue the correct way
Because each tank's flow will be halved?
Great idea, thanks for posting
Glad you liked it. Thanks for taking the time to leave a comment.
I just use the leaf blower, trying to get all the debris off the radiator is a chore without a leaf blower. Takes a lot less time. With my lawn I don't have an issue with stuff getting all over the screens. I mow a pasture for a lady that clogs stuff up, I use the leaf blower when I'm done, occasionally I have to blow the stuff out about 1/2 way through mowing....but the rest blows off the tractor on the way home as it sits on the trailer and the wind from going down the road helps a lot to get everything cleared off the rest of the way so I don't drag any of the crap out of that pasture back home.
I used to use the leaf blower but then switched to the vacuum. Leaf blower with all of those dandelion seeds just made a mess, I probably seeded my entire lawn by doing this.
I'm going to try this on my rear blade.
Thanks so much !!
Glad it helped
Excellent video!!! Thank you!!
Glad you liked it!
I'm going to guess that you need new batteries. Everybody says electric is zero maintenance, but they never consider battery care and they kill their batteries in one season. I have the Greenworks lineup and have kept the same batteries for 3 years now and they work great
They said it was a motor drive issue, which they fixed under warranty. Batteries still going strong.
@@thelifeofriley7668 great to hear!

She’s always moving, doing something! No way she would stop and watch, lol. It’s a good idea though. We do have a chain and use it for bigger jobs.
