Registrace 24. 07. 2021
Interstellar Ranger is the name. I thought it was an interesting name, it was also available. 34, Army Vet., graduated from NASCAR Tech Institue. Few credit hours in Space Studies and Physics. I have had an interesting life thus far and look forward to the rest. Maybe sharing some of those moments here.
I will stream some games, like to chat, and try to engage as much as I can. I am an introvert, trying to do more. With issues, like most, I find myself not doing anything or engaging with people. I am using this as a method of holding me accountable for the day. This keeps me sober. I've tried different things; this has worked so far.
Some things I look forward to: Yard Work, Random Videos, Nature Videos, Golf, Kayaking, NASCAR races, random trips to parks and events, theatres, amusement parks, state parks, national parks, hiking, auto work, welding, lawn care and many other things.

Kayaking Log: A trek up the river and a swift ride back down
We walked up the river a ways. It was an interesting and rocky adventure. We got up there. Chilled for a bit and then rode the river back down. The walk was worth it. My phone cut the end of the video off, but I got most of it.

Kayaking Log: First Run Small Section
zhlédnutí 1Před 4 hodinami
After getting upriver. I did my second run down, but my first with a bit of knowledge and a camera, and a CZcams channel to put it on. So much has changed since that first one. We will call this the first one. It was fun. Phone cut the end of the video off, but I got most of it. It was tons of fun....Bye for now.
Kayaking Log: Started the day paddling upriver.
Před 4 hodinami
Feels good every time that I do it. Reminds me how far I have come in this project. In the beginning I would look upriver and it seemed daunting. Now it is one of the first things that I do when I get in the water. It was higher today which was good. Made for better kayaking.
Kayaking Log: Learning some outside your boat things.
zhlédnutí 1Před 5 hodinami
Had fun out on the water today. Got to learn what to do if I fall out of the kayak in rapids. She said more would be a better demonstration, but knowing some and how to put it to use could be very important for me in the future. I will log some of the content I got tomorrow. I got some good stuff this go round. Bye for now.
Yard Log: Gotta charge the damn weedeater battery...I forgot.
Před 10 hodinami
Grass is cut and looks better than last time. I gotta clean up the mess in the back, but I don't know if I will get to it. I'm kinda, but not in a hurry. There are already stupid mice under it. Dogs are constantly barking at it. Won't take long to clean it up. Just gotta get motivated to do it. For now I will let that battery charge for the trimmer and that will be my excuse. Ha. Bye for now.
Yard Log: Great Day to Mow.
zhlédnutí 43Před 13 hodinami
Cloudy, looks like it might rain. They aren't calling for any. Maybe these are just some high-level clouds from that storm. They look like rain. Hopefully not now though. Anyway, I am gonna get this grass cut down and jam out to some tunes. Gotta take advantage of this cool, cloud-covered, low-humidity day. I am gonna go. I'll probably be back. Never know what could happen. lol
House Log: Another day of progress.
zhlédnutí 1Před dnem
Another day down. Got the frame for the next window up and started on the door frame. Then moved over and corrected some electrical and with my Dad's help, wired some new receptacles. We need a new breaker, the ones that were here won't work. But that'll be another day. Tomorrow is kayaking and time to mow again. So tomorrow will be another addition to the great Yard logs. Become less frequent ...
House Log: Window Frame Built.
Před dnem
I started with building the window frame this morning. I was supposed to go hiking, but I overslept. Have been doing that more lately... I did do a longer video this morning. Right before I made this. I always just get started and when I finish I would wish that I had made a video, cuz it turned out pretty well. I can't wait to get more equipment, but this rebuild is my priority.
House Log: Finishing this window frame
zhlédnutí 14Před dnem
Just finishing up the window frame and adding some support. Gonna add some more support to the other side and then move to the other wall. That should be an interesting build. Anyway, gotta get back to it. Was a nice break sitting here to gather all this together.
House Log: Feelin Great about the progress today.
Před 2 dny
I think I am going to call it a night here. I have gotten a lot done today. More than I anticipated. Gotta get some things wired up tomorrow and build the frame for the window going in. I learned a lot from doing that first one. Hopefully I apply it successfully and don't overthink it into a mess of construction....it'll be fine. Maybe. Anyway. Goodnight. Bye for now.
House Log: Finally finished the wall.
zhlédnutí 1Před 2 dny
Finished the wall. I am so glad to have finished that. I feel better now. It was starting to wear on me. Not seeing the successes of my work yet. That would be that ADHD kicking in. That's the hardest thing to fight. The combination of that and depression is a tough thing to deal with. But I see some success now. Makes me feel much better about the project at hand. I will probably suffer that a...
House Log: Work again.
zhlédnutí 39Před 2 dny
Back to work. I really believe today that I will finish this side. I have already gotten that one board up and yesterday I broke the damn fan. These boards are long and the fan was in the way. It probably wouldn't have happened with help, but you gotta do what ya gotta do. Let's go get this thing done.
House Log: Got a lot done. Damn Planks.
zhlédnutí 387Před 3 dny
Got more done. Almost finished with that side. Gotta get a couple things tomorrow and then I can be officially complete with the rebuild on this side. Done for the day. Time to watch some racing in the rain at Chicago street course. Always good stuff. Have a great evening!
House Log: Can't wait to finish this wall.
zhlédnutí 443Před 3 dny
The wall is finished. Now I need to get to the top. I may break for the rest of the day and watch some rain. It looks like the rain is gonna be choppy, I may work in between. I don't know. Progress is progress. Anything more than I have done, will be extra. That way I feel better at the end of the day. lol
House Log: Finishing one side.
zhlédnutí 439Před 3 dny
Starting with finishing this side. It will be complicated, I have to remove the boards that are upside down and correct them. Shouldn't be too bad just time consuming. It's looking good.
When stupid ideas have stupid consequences
Wait. Are you blocking off your soffit vents? Is that what you just showed us?
Yes, I am blocking of a few of them. Not all of them. Thought about it. But someone mentioned their importance. I did some research, and I am leaving the corners open. But there is still plenty of vent for the roof between the air inside, the roof vent, and the ones that are left. This being a shed and no separation between the openings and the inside of the shed every two feet seemed a bit much. Hard to keep the temperature stabilized in here.
@@interstellar_ranger You don't want to block them holes, you need them for ventilation. In addition, you will want a one-inch air space behind your insulation in every stud cavity that runs from your soffit to your ridge. Without proper ventilation you can develop moisture and mold.
Ok. How big do these vents need to be? I will do more research. Also, thank you.
Eve and roof ventilation and air circulation are crucial to keeping your roofing dry and not too hot
How much ventilation?
That's an improper window installation, don't repeat it on your new build
Thank you. I won't.
@@interstellar_ranger HaHa.. no offense intended
I would rather know. I am figuring it out.
Sorry for your loss.
🙋♀️💖🫶🐎🐎🐎🐎
Yes. They are great to have around. They always think they are funny.
That was a great break....just too short. Beautiful horses.
Every break is too short. lol They have been a nice addition to the family here. Thank you.
Would love to hear what u are saying about the horses...the mike is not good at all.
Sorry about that. The ponies are a family of four. Mom and Dad. Two Children. Bigger one is said to be a retired police horse. I don't have a handle on all the names yet. The two in the back are piper and sass. Those two have been here for a while. I will work on my audio.
They're beautiful
They are. Good additions to the family.
Dngidbkdggt😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Looking good, do you plan on capping the top?
I don't know what my plan is. I don't think so, though. I have been just kinda feelin it out. I know that I'm going to sand everything smooth. I have never done this before.
@interstellar_ranger If you attach a 2×4 to the outside & one to the top it will give you that finished look & be alot more sturdy. That's generally how you construct the top rail/cap.
Thank you, I appreciate that information. Now I will probably need more wood...I hadn't considered it.
Stand a bit further away from the ball. Keep that front arm straight. Focus on turning your whole body.
Thanks. That seems to be the focus for me right now. Sometimes I get it right, but I don't have a consistent swing yet. I appreciate your advice and will take it to my next outing.
Tell me you shop at harbor freight without telling me you shop at harbor freight lol
Hey, the stuff works. lol
Nice job!
Don't give up on yourself Don't know you from the hole in the wall but i'm rooting for you enjoy your Sunday do something upu like to do or don't do anything live your best life !!!
I will be fine. I have gotten good at bringing myself up. Just couldn't bring myself to work anymore. I appreciate it. Thank you for engaging as well.
I wish you all the best of luck. Bring this brother home.
Park Rangers found him while we were out there. A good ending. We weren't told much due to privacy, but we were told he was found and transported somewhere.
Nice!
that’s pretty cool
What an utterly waste of a CZcams video.
Thanks. But I believe that's up to the creator... and what they want on the channel. Thanks for your engagement, and I hope you find the videos you're looking for.
I hope the 🐕 gets a little friendly
He has a little bit. I still think he is adjusting. It is probably a surprise that we show up instead of his family.
Share some rain. Sooo dry in the panhandle of Florida. All the trees are white with dust.🤷🏼♀️
I wish I could. Some people are getting too much while others aren't gettin any. I stray from complaining, never know when it will be back. Hopefully you all will see relief soon. Just rain, not all that other stuff that comes with rain down there.
Why don't you clean up first then do the oil change. This is a fire hazard.
I cleaned up the pine needles and debris located around the oil inlet and filter. Made for good oil dry for during the change. Trashed all of it. Great point.
Unless you mean the tent. It's dirt and the extension cord hasn't been plugged in for years. lol Risk Management
I now work on small engines and I get upset with the shity attitude of people now and how dam lazy they are, fat and useless 😢
You can tell a lot about someone simply by maintaining their vehicle or equipment. The expectations are for it to just work and continue to do so.
I’m a retired diesel mechanic and I’ve been using same old Murray riding mower for 26 years and I change oil after every 4 hours of mowing It still runs like new and looks great So it cost 6 bucks plus the no corn gas to mow my yard Not bad and I buy air filter 30 at a time also
Yea, I like to talk shit about mine. But it survived the fury of all those before me. Lack of maintenance destroyed the deck. Engine is maintained and runs smoothly. It will probably last for years now, if I protect it and maintain it. Easier to blame the machine. lol
If it was mine I would take the good parts off and get rid of that deck get another decent deck to put back on
Wasn't much for good parts. Bent or broken. I did have some steel and a mig so I made something. Will probably never be an issue again. If I paint the parts I cleaned. I still need to do that. I do appreciate the suggestions though...can never go wrong with more ideas.
Where is your place?
Tucked away in the mountains of Tennessee.
Nice work on your fence
Thanks. Took a bit to get everything together.
Yeah.. adding material here isn’t worth it
Yea. I know. I need one more season out of this thing. Good excuse to buy the welding equipment.
I mean… yes.. but if you’re gonna do anything….
That blade support may cost you an extremity
Yea, everything on these things seem to push you towards just buying something new. On this one, it was pushed, blew up, rebuilt, bearings fell apart, and the deck rusted out. On the broken ear for the blade. I pryed it back, welded to the steel....hopefully it stays. Aluminum, it no like steel. I think I fixed it. Fingers crossed. I get out of this with my welder setup, maybe 1...hope 2 seasons.
@@interstellar_rangerI wouldn’t use this! It’s not worth the injury you could sustain. At least add some more actual sheet material.
What kind is it?
Yard Machine by MTD. 42 inch deck.
You need to put in an engineering board…or at least that’s what my buddy calls them.
An engineering board....What's that?
HEY GUY. Work on your audio!
Personality I just don't know what the hell you're doing you should never been the pulley under the deck that is supposed to be that way it's supposed to be angled like that
That pulley is actually supposed to be straight. Also, the rust that ran down the deck allowed it to rip away from the metal under the load of the belt. And it is a problem that will continue to happen until I replace the deck or put a steel plate there. I appreciate your comments.
😢
JB Weld and tape, my Grandpa’s go to for fixing just about anything.
Yea, it worked out pretty well. The deck seems solid. So hopefully it will hold up under a load. Hope you are doing well.
Why do people feel the need to film themselves so much? I need to go to the bathroom... want to know if it's #1 or #2? Tune in to my short will be live in 5-7 minutes!
You do realize that this comment, your engagement in my feed helps me. The best method is to stay away. And your comment applies to none of my content. You're one of those people. Have a great day!!!!
If you'd like you can view more. I just posted one. So you can find it. czcams.com/video/Yk1NapHlZK0/video.html
Beautiful
Congratulations! Love the chrome! Looks sharp!
Thanks!!
Looks great for a 12 tho!
I thought so, too.
What vehicle are you working on?
04 Jeep Liberty Sport.
Speed sensor in limp mode more then likely my speed sensor was in my transmission pan but i had a commander yours might be by your brakes
Thanks for stopping in. My speed sensor is on the rear end. The wires were shorted together. Thought it might fix it, but I believe the sensor may be done, because it still throwing a sensor code.
The throttle position sensor, TPS, is what gives the transmission the signal to shift gears.. The transmission in jeeps very rarely go bad.. Though a solenoid could be sticking, I would bet more than anything you just need a TPS.. I worked at a jeep dealer for many years.. the transmission will give a very long and hard shift from 1st gear and eventually into 2nd gear, then stay there.. I would advise putting a TPS in it.. It’s located on the side of the throttle body… Hope you see this 👍🇺🇸
I can give it a shot. The valve body is good, replaced it twice. The harness and connectors are good. The only thing left would be the sensor themselves. Now it does have a P0501 for the Speed Sensor circuit and a P0731 for 1st Gear incorrect ratio. But the symptoms you listed are consistent with the ones I have.
Its lookin' good 👍🤠
Nice! 👍🤠
Thank you. Have a Great Evening!
@@interstellar_ranger thank you very much. You as well 🤠
Beautiful environment
😂😂😂me too, or maybe start going backwards. But it is peaceful.😊
It would have made the video way more interesting.
I was waiting for the water to stop running. Sooo disappointed 😞
I agree. If I hadn't recorded it, something would've happened.
Looks great! I’m sure a lot of hard work was done to put this up
Thank you. It was. One day at a time got it there.
Looks great, bud 👍🤠
Thank You
You got a face made for radio
