    I'm 74, my daughter passed December last at 50, your daughter reminded so much of me and mine, on those days we had together !
    Never pass up a chance to make those memories, my daughter didn't and always brought back her memories, of her perspective about those days. Priceless !!!!

    Mike, how can you become more and more likeable?!?!?! Show the Admiral how much you love her by building a plunge pool with a waterfall, spend time with your cute as a button daughter, showing her how much you love her, and encourage her kindness by letting her rescue a box turtle. Yup, its hard to believe, but you've stepped it up another notch. May you and your family continue to be abundantly blessed. Thanks for the hard work and taking us along for the ride. The project is gonna be gorgeous. John here, photographing the back-roads of Northeastern Tennessee, y'all.

      I was going to make a similar comment but this one sure works “just fine”. I would only add that his ability to allow the rock throwing into the water after first seeing how much it means (through her eyes) was pure gold.

    Made me itch just watching the video. 😂
    Poison ivy is one of the things that made me get out of professional tree work. I've seen trees that look alive and healthy and then you realize the only green on them is the poison ivy.
    Funny thing, I never reacted to poison ivy as a kid. After being in contact with it pretty often, I became quite sensitive to it.

    I really like it whenyour kids are with you helping out building memories they'll cherish when they grow up and begin their future families.
    I used to take my Daughter Ronni with me on my Harley when I had an Arcade and pinball games route when she was 11 and my locations would spoil her.
    One time coming home from northeast Miami-Dade County down to southwest Miami-Dade where I lived along Old Cutler Road it began raining I got soaking wet and she not so much.
    Got home she was shivering so I made her take a hot shower. She comes out in another fresh pair of bib shorts overhauls (her favorite thing to wear then) and wanted to go riding again.
    Nope, Daddy was bushed and I just turned on the line if Arcade and pinball games I had in my dining room and she was entertained while daddy took a quick nap.
    To this day she remembers that day fondly.

      I know two spots in Missouri that would fill up. One is a big granite spot in the sun that gets covered with rattle snakes come sun down so they can soak the heat from that rock at night. It is in a National Scenic Riverway. Another is a National forest that any sunny spot on the path gets copperheads sunning on it. Just got to be careful at the right times. That granite rock is covered with people all day in the summer time, but the snakes clear out for that and come back as the people leave near dusk. We can co-exist with them.

Strip it from the case, fit tripod legs on it, and you got a little fire pit for the plunge pool. You could even build a hot plate/grill on top for a neat little BBQ. All the best from Perth, Western Australia.

    Mike thank you for the great content! Truly appreciated! Watching you switch from bucket to forks makes it look like the front tires of the 555 are filled.....with helium!

    Wow I'm jealous of Mike's 304. I have a Deere1025R with a backhoe and loader. A small track hoe with a thumb is very productive.
