      😄😄
      Cali is such a friendly, also demanding beeing and obviously enjoys beeing around You at the cabin, Shawn!
      I wouldn't wonder if Cali is the first dog to properly do "woodworkx" 'cause she *really* is highly interested to co-work and to cooperate *successfully* => as a "fully functional pack" with You!
      To me it transfers that Cali really want's to solve successfully tasks!

    Did you all know that the fall leaf colors are the true colors of the leaves and that the green is the presence of chlorophyll until it is stopped in the life cycle of the leaves in the fall. Just a small factoid for you on this wonderful fall day. Great video!

      Do you know the color you see is not the color of the leaves? It's the color that is reflected from the leaves.

    • @jrp7837
      @jrp7837 Před 4 lety +3

      Also the fall leaf color has to do with the chemical makeup within the leaf, affecting the light ratio reflected and absorbed.

    Everything is so beautiful! I watched this morning (very early) while still in bed (I am retired). The laptop on my knees and my little dog curled up beside me. Once in a while, he would raise his head at the sounds coming from the video and give me a little ruff-ruff. I think Bilou really enjoyed it too! I live by a river and this morning, I heard a flock of geese flying over the house (it is autumn after all). It all seemed surreal. Life is beautiful.

    I always enjoyed building things, the amount of time just don't matter. It's the end result that your looking for. I would get into the building and forget about the food. At least my dog would eat good. Shawn I enjoy your taking time to go walking and showing us the area that you see
    through the camera. I know it takes time to film the area, moving the camera, going back and forth to get and move it around. I didn't realize how much time is involved in the editing process until a boy told us how much time he spends to edit and download to YTUBE.

    Watching your building, harvesting and cooking videos, enjoyable. 👍 Hearing Cali drink water, and jumping back from a snake, priceless! 😄
    Watching her pester you for a throw, funny! 🤗

    When you first started this porch in the last video, I had no idea what you had in mind. Imagine my surprise and delight to see, as if by magic, the end result at the beginning of the video. Seems to make more sense when you follow now.

    Shawn, you need to take a recommendation from a Finnish person: Warm the sauna up to 80-100 degrees, be there as long as you can. It helps to bend a bit so you can breathe the colder air (heat goes up). Then go outside on your new porch and sit down and let the body cool down. Then repeat. That is how we finns go to sauna and it really relaxes your muscles and cleanses your body when you take a good sweat in 80-100 degrees Celsius

    • @syndicated85
      @syndicated85 Před 4 lety +10

      @JOOGAL1111 No dude, I mean celsius.
      When growing up, I used to go to sauna at our cottage with my grandpa. Back in those days he told me that "anything below 80 is where women bathe" and it was true. My mom and grandma went to sauna when it was around 70-75 and after that me, dad and grandpa went there and it was usually around 80-90degrees. But I have experienced 100 C and it's quite extreme. You can be there for a few minutes before you need to go out to get fresh air and cool down. But there is no other feeling in the world when you go to the porch with only a towel on and your skin is steaming and the cool summer or winter air cools you down. We also jump from a ~100 C sauna to snow or a frozen lake... Finns eh? ;D

    • @syndicated85
      @syndicated85 Před 4 lety +4

      From Wikipedia: Under many circumstances, temperatures approaching and exceeding 100 °C (212 °F) would be completely intolerable and possibly fatal if exposed to long periods of time. Saunas overcome this problem by controlling the humidity. The hottest Finnish saunas have relatively low humidity levels in which steam is generated by pouring water on the hot stones. This allows air temperatures that could boil water to be tolerated and even enjoyed for longer periods of time. Steam baths, such as the Turkish bath, where the humidity approaches 100%, will be set to a much lower temperature of around 40 °C (104 °F) to compensate. The "wet heat" would cause scalding if the temperature were set much higher.
      In a typical Finnish sauna, the temperature of the air, the room and the benches is above the dew point even when water is thrown on the hot stones and vaporized. Thus, they remain dry. In contrast, the sauna bathers are at about 38 °C (100 °F), which is below the dew point, so that water is condensed on the bathers' skin. This process releases heat and makes the steam feel hot.

    • @syndicated85
      @syndicated85 Před 4 lety +1

      @JOOGAL1111 The secret is in the amount of moisture in the air. If you see a finnish Sauna in your neighbourhood (there are some around the world) go and try. It's amazing.

Your drone views are breathtaking, your craftsmanship is first rate, and the exchange and sharing with Cali is the icing on the cake for each episode. Did you identify the type of snake that Cali confronted? Nasty little critter. What a great time of year at the cabin, and a pot roast to celebrate all the work. Thank You and God Bless for all that you are, and sharing your life with us. Give Cali a big smooch from Mike & Ronnie.

    I love how you show the moments where you take care of your tools. A lot of people in the modern age just sorta...assume...that chisels and saws and drill bits remain sharp forever & ever. They might know that knives (mostly kitchen) need sharpening, or maybe axes...but they might not think about it at all. So it's great to see these steps taken every so often to keep things sharp and rust-free, well-oiled, and functional.

She sure likes to be at your side and just lives to have you throw her fetch toy and keep you company. She is beautiful and your viewers love her. When she is in your company her tail is wagging continually. Never take her for granted! The best to you and your family on this journey. You have put so much hard work into it.🐺🐺🐺🐺🐺😊😊😊😊😊😊👍👍👍👍👍👍

Cali is so full of energy and to want to play fetch. She should sleep good at night. Keep the videos of Fall coming enjoying them.
