Hi, today's episode of We Are Only One is brought to you by mountgox.com and the Thank You Economy by Gary Vaynerchuk and the site for that is thankyoueconomybook.com. Hi everyone, I'm Jude Byrne, the host of We Are Only One. We've got a great show for you today. We're going to be talking about the importance of intuition, following your intuition and what happens when you don't. We've got a great guest who's an intuitive life coach, Jennifer Alhasha, and we're going to be chatting with her, but I followed my intuition today and it told me, many of you know that I'm a sound healer and I do drumming and reiki and ceremonies and I thought today we'd open the show with a little drumming meditation to kind of clear out anything that might be an obstacle to our full enjoyment of the day and to listening to our intuition and listening to our heart. So this is a buffalo drum with dolphins on it and it's used in a lot of ceremonies to the Native Americans. Buffalo is the most sacred of all the drums, so just sit back if you can close your eyes. We're going to just, if you have anything in your body or anything that's hurting or causing any kind of discomfort, just let the sound go to that spot and it's going to dissolve it. So enjoy, here we go. To officially introduce Jennifer Alhasha, who's an intuitive coach. Welcome. Welcome. Thank you so much for having me. It's a thrill to be here with you today, Jew. Oh, it's our pleasure, Jennifer. And I wonder if you could tell us what led to your becoming an intuitive coach? Well, I was always an intuitive little girl and I can remember sort of knowing things and experiencing things on a different level in my heart and feeling them. But as an adult, I grew up and I stuffed my feelings, I stuffed my sadness and I lost a lot of that intuition connection and I, you know, I was a young woman working an office job and I smoked and I drank and I partied and I lived it up and I didn't have an inner life. I didn't have a spiritual connection and I lost all track of that.  So I didn't even know that I was missing a spiritual life, you know, and it was been through my own awakening to that that I recovered my intuitive nature and got back to my inner child and the senses that I always experienced then. Uh-huh. Yeah, it's easy sometimes to get distracted and lose track, but tell me how you use it as a guide, you know, in your life. Sure. Well, now I'm at the point now that I'm really tapped in and tuned into my intuition that I use it almost to make every decision, you know, from what I'll eat to what train I'll take. So just for example, this morning I had in my mind the route I would take that I got from Hopstaff to come here to the studio today. And then as I was walking and I was going to turn right, I heard no go straight, take the seven instead of the F. So I walked and went to the seven and I didn't know why. And sometimes that's the interesting part about it is you don't know why, you know, you don't know what you'll either be getting or missing by making that turn or not making that turn, but it ended up taking the seven and had a wonderful mariachi band grace me on that train. And it got me really excited and awake. And there was a stand-up bass on the train and I loved it. And it got my foot tapping and who knows, maybe I was just supposed to have this music. Maybe I was supposed to get down here when I did. Got me to a cafe and I was sitting drinking a coffee and Ricky Gervais from the office walked by and we had a moment of eye contact. So it was like everything that I did today led me to that. And I'm sure I would have had other experiences had I taken the F, but it was just like that. Just listening in day to day moments, what to eat, where to go, what to wear. I mean, for me now, everything comes from my heart and tuning in instead of my mind. Now, you know, you hit a couple of things. When we do listen and we're in the flow, like you ran across a friend because you took that direction. And I remember the Celestine prophecy where he said when you follow the flow, people are going to appear that have messages for you and life is going to unfold in a magical way if we're open to that and we're tuned into that. And there are many ways like I use the drumming and sound to kind of clear when it gets little energetic obstacle course to clear it. And I wonder what do you do? You know, you said you were living a wild life and kind of numbing yourself out a little bit. And I think many of us have gone through that faith in life. And what could you share with our listeners about what led you to fine tune your listening to the intuitive voice? Sure. Well, I think it was just meditation is the first thing that I started with. You know, part of my journey was that I got diagnosed with cancer and was awakened to this huge door of spirituality in order to heal myself. I needed to heal my soul and heal my inner ache. You know, what was the original pain that was lost? And through that, I started exploring different parts of spirituality and meditation was the first stop on that train for me. So Buddhism and meditation and just sitting. I mean, it had been years since I sat and let a candle and listen to music and you know, just opened to that. And then it's gotten more and more progressive. I think as you do it more, you'll hear more. You know, at first I would sit there and think, well, nothing's really happening. This is uncomfortable. What the heck? You know, I don't understand what's the benefit of this, right? What am I doing down here? But then I would find the right CD and you know, the right piano music maybe would open me up to Oh gosh, I really loved playing the piano. And it's just certain things would just open me deeper, deeper, deeper. And like everybody always says, it's a practice, right? I mean, it's something that comes more and more, the more you do it. So it's like, and there are days where I will forget. I mean, I'll wake up, I'll jump out of bed, I'll grab the laptop in bed and read email and forget to start my day with that tuning in. And then it's like, doesn't feel good, right? It starts to feel uncomfortable. And I'm not listening. I'm listening to the ego and the ego is driving me in a really different direction than my heart might. So then I'll just take a bath. And that's a really important step for me to as a Pisces and as an intuitive person and an empathic person, like I pick up energy from everyone and from everything and all around me. So if I spend too much time with technology, I really need to take a bath and cleanse and with saltwater and just really get that out. And then sit down in meditation. And it's like, it can be a real exercise for me to not go right back on the computer, right? Like, because that's, we're so plugged in and we're so technologically focused to say, stay down there, stay down there until you hear something, right? That's what I do until I hear something move. And then it'll be like, that I'll get these divine ideas, right? Like change this copy on your website. I mean, really important messages come to me that I would miss. You know, sometimes when you're trying to find a book title or you're trying to write some copy for your website and you're, you're really pushing the river is what I would say and you don't have the answer and you're like, working it a little too hard.  So that listing has really been important. And it's just developed more and more. I think the more you listen, the more you're talked to. I, yes. There's a old native program proverb in a program that I, a prosperity consciousness program that I took.  You know? And so when we, when we stop our talk, our chatter and listen, and like you said, put put ourselves in a space that's conducive to listening and getting that guidance. We all have it inside. I think we forget about it sometimes that we have it all the answers that we need when we get in touch with the divine source and the guidance. But I, I find the intuitive road to be one of the highest, you know, and intimately connected with the path of the heart.  What do you do personally when you're counseling somebody? Well, when I, that's a great question. Thank you. So when I meet someone or I'll do it over the phone, I'll either meet with them in person or do it over the phone. What I usually do is just have a conversation like we might be having and they'll describe their problem or their issue. So you might come to me and say you want to work on birthing a book, right? And then we'll start talking about the book and what that looks like to you. And then I'll get information sort of from my knowing, right? I'll know, well, these are the steps in like the life path you should take, but then I'll also simultaneously be hearing information. And the only way I know how to say it is to say it like that, like I'll hear a piece of information and it won't necessarily make sense to me. Like I might hear, well, what about California or something, you know, like, then I'll, if the person is in a place, I might say to them, well, I'm hearing something, would you like me to share that with you? Because there are some clients, you know, you work with who are very open and very spiritual and very deep into the woo, if you will, you know, like very open to that. Yeah, exactly. And they want that, you know, they're hungry for that. And they work with me because that's what they want. And then there's some people who are tipping their, tipping their toe in that water, right? And I might say, I'm hearing something, you know, and I, that was a big learning for me is to, because I'm always getting information, right? Because I'm empathic, like I might meet someone and see them and know things about them instantaneously, but I don't share that with them, you know, I mean, so it's been a learning for me how to work with that energy and to, to respect the information and to ask and therefore it is given, you know, wait for, wait for the permission. So it's on two levels, you know, I think I coach people with what I have learned, what I've gone through and the wisdom that I've picked up on my path of study and then also my intuitive. So it's a combination of the intuition and then the life coaching from a perspective of study and wisdom that has been gained on my path and through my experiences. Like yourself, I'm also an empath and Bruce, the CEO of OnlyOneTV and I heard a speaker who wrote a book called Emotional Freedom and she talked about different personality types and how key it was energetically to know your type and empaths in particular. She said, you will get a lot of messages and you need to be careful not to overload your circuits, you know, and I found that really good advice for people who really are tuned into getting that guidance to be mindful of, to take a break, like if you're doing intuitive work, you know, it is like you said, take a bath either, either actually physically or metaphysically and cleanse yourself. And something else that struck me too, how you start your day is key. You know, we here at the studio, of course, love the internet and it's a wonderful source of connection all over the world with people and sharing with lovely guests like you and, you know, every week we are sending out good vibrations to people that we wouldn't necessarily meet in another way. But we also know that balance is really key in life and to do things that are like for me getting out in nature is very key, connecting with the earth and really feeling the earth and going barefoot. I mean, there was a lot of wisdom in earth wisdom that is showing up now that we're disconnected, you know, with the balance of our natural ways. And I think that helps people. I know it helps me to get back to my intuition, you know, is to not get so caught up, but to start the day centered with a prayer or a meditation or some physical activity outside, if possible, you know, to feel that pulse. Yes. And I was recently read something about earthing, which is this whole movement where there are cultures who don't have any illness because the indigenous people go barefoot. So, you know, if we can ground ourselves and like really take your shoes off, get your feet in the grass, you know, we're on the sand, even five minutes a day, like the health benefits to that. I mean, there's something about neutralizing the magnetic charge, I'm not sure about the science, but just they're like the grounding and that that touching into our primal nature, it's both good for health and for our spirit. So it's a win, win, win. Yes. And I did. I've heard some doctors speak of that. How key that is one simple thing of going barefoot, like that really kind of reconnects us and can help. And that part of why there are some challenges are the materials in the shoes are not letting us get through and making that connection. So we're disconnecting, you know, from our, one of our home bases, you know, and simple things like that. But, you know, for not mindful or tuned in, might not know that. Yeah. And it's like sometimes in New York, you can feel like, you know, it's far away, right? But it's really not. I mean, even if you just hug a tree, literally like touch the tree, they'll impart their wisdom and they'll impart that groundedness. So sometimes, you know, I'll stop on the street and like hug the tree. So I care if somebody's watching and other times not, but it's like, it really does ground us and help us remember from once we came and, you know, I was a little girl in Iowa. I grew up playing in my garden and playing with the ladybugs and making mud pies and like having my hands in the dirt. And I didn't remember that for years. I mean, it took me years to remember that I missed that and that experience. So that has been a huge part for me is reconnecting with that nature. Yes. I go to Central Park every day, if I can. And I just, you know, talk to the trees and the rocks. I mean, feeling the life pulse like only one TV, we are only one is all sentient beings, all the life force of everything, you know, giving thanks to the earth and, you know, not just the two-legged and the four-legged friends that we have, you know, but just the beauty of it all. And I think New York is such an amazing city with vitality and creativity and it goes at such a pace sometimes that we can get distracted from the center of reconnecting. And so we encourage all our New York listeners, go have a treat today or say hi to a flower.  Remember you come across on your path. I mean, that's what you said. We're all one. All of us. Yes. Yes. I have a very good friend who's working on a book on the benefits of juice feasting, Dr. Eddy. And she is also kind of a, she's a holistic nutritionist, but she's also a life coach. And she has a phrase called fill your love bucket. That's her trademark, your love bucket. And doing things like that, really feeling the connection with nature, being mindful, like simple things we can do every day.  One of the things that you also do is you, I understand you work with your sister. You have, is it a talk show or? It's an online advice column. So it's called dear soul sister. So my sister Lara lives in Seattle, Washington. And she called me one day out of the blue and said, Oh my God, I have this idea. We should write a spiritual advice column. And then it just, it just took off from there and it was so natural. And it was, you know, we both sort of awakened in different ways. I awakened through cancer and she always says motherhood was my cancer. Like it awakened her to her anger and to her emotions into the things that she hadn't been feeling. And then we both went along our paths. But then just this earlier this year, we started your soul sister. So we give inspired, insightful, and informed advice to readers so they can write in for free. We're like Dear Abby of the new millennium and people can send in their conundrums, anything from, you know, prosperity questions to difficulties dealing with guilt. Some Sunday school, we had a Sunday school situation that we helped someone with recently. So whatever people are dealing with, I mean, there's a lot of people struggling with prosperity consciousness and how to burn that into their lives. There's a lot of people sort of being restructured in life, right? And how did they get going? If they've lost a job? Or how do they go after their big dreams? So we've been helping people and it's really been wonderful.  I'd like you to comment further on prosperity consciousness because that is very challenging for people. What do you say to people right now? So what we said to the latest person, her question was where's my prosperity, right? Looking around the world, it's like she's done a lot of inner work. She changed her spending habits. Maybe she's not accumulating as much debt as she used to, but she still hasn't birthed her prosperity in a way that she would like to. And so we sort of talked about how prosperity isn't just your bank account and it's not just your credit score that it's a consciousness, right? Like even if the economy might be in the toilet globally, there's still people making money, right? And what is that? What do they got going on that you don't, right? So like what is their secret, you know, that they've got? So we talked about starting from a place of gratitude, really having her look in her life and make a list of three things that she was grateful for now, right? And to step to get into that flow of gratitude really opens you to like everything you do have. Cause I think sometimes when we're thinking about prosperity, we can get into a lack of consciousness just thinking, I don't have this yet, right? But it was like, so we started with the gratitude and then to just make a list, like a list of maybe five things that prosperity getting ahead means to you. Like to some people, it might mean a big house and to other people, it might mean traveling. So what is it, what does it uniquely look like to you? I think it's really important. So make a list of five to 10 things that are really important to you to have, you know, a travel fund or an apartment or whatever it is that you would like to berth in your life. And then you can start defining it on your terms. Great. I want to take a break, speaking of prosperity and consciousness to thank our sponsors. And then I want to get back to gratitude and the high vibration that brings in. Okay. Okay. Thank you. So without further ado, we would like to thank Mount Gox and tgox.com. Mount Gox is the largest online exchange service for bitcoins. They now take euros, the British pound, the Australian dollar and 16 plus currencies at the moment. And you can you can buy them from the comfort of your own home. And I highly recommend them. I use them personally myself. Full disclosure. And the thank you economy by Gary Vaynerchuk. That's just to spell the author first Gary VA Y space and ER space CH UK. And the website for that is thank you economy book.com. And he has his finger on the pulse of the shift that's happening talking about consciousness, how businesses to be competitive right now are going back to making an emotional connection with the customer like our grandparents did to build loyalty to provide better service. And he's got many ideas. He's combining the traditional ways with the modern social media and how to market your business. So we highly recommend that as well. I want to thank him for the thank you economy. So now we're back to gratitude have so much energy, doesn't it? It really does. It really does. It shifts everything. And it's seems so simple, right? If you wake up every morning and you write down three things for which you are thankful. And you do that at the end of the day as well. You can really bookend your day and say like, here's where I started, right? And then here's, I think the Obama's do this around their dinner table, right? They do roses and thorns, but every day they do something that really good happened. And they share that as a family and talk about neat, isn't that cool? That's very cool. What do we think before at the end of the day? You know, and instead of saying like, gosh, all these things didn't go wrong for me today, just say like, let's talk about the three things that did, you know, I got this piece of business accomplished on my website. I found really great food at the store.  I mean, and that's what I've been feeling lately. And I know a lot of people are talking about this now. There are really two choices. There's love or fear. And that's it. You know, out there, there's love or there's fear. So what can get you in to fear is thinking about what you don't have, thinking about what didn't go right, thinking about what you need, and you would be happy if you only had it, right? If you can get into gratitude, it drops you into love. I mean, it drops you into, I have this, I have these friends, I have this bounty of goodness that I've forgotten about. So for me, that's what really helps us to remember everything I do have, instead of focusing on what I don't. I couldn't agree more. And how easy that is to shift and to choose again and to look at whatever it is that is a blessing. And there are so many that we take for granted, even running water, how much of the world doesn't have that clean drinking water. But I so agree with you and I've heard several people say, to really raise your vibration, take your wildest fantasy, or your dream, or what you feel your heart's desire, what would really, truly fulfill your heart's desire, and to put yourself in that is the next day after the frame of mind that it's just happened to you. And how do you feel? And you feel fantastic, you know? And you feel so happy. And what it does, as we're saying, it raises your vibration to a point where you're in a different space. You're not as dense. When we're complaining or out of sorts, we're at a lower vibration. And so we're more dense. And so we create obstacles to our good by our attitude. And when we are thankful, the gratitude, and we're seeing that it's happening, we're vibrating in a much higher place, and things happen quicker that way. And you draw your good to you. It seems like a simple thing that we all have at our disposal, yet we're not tuned into it. Again, we get distracted. But I had something happen to me recently, and I wanted to share it with you. I had a situation that could have potentially been very adversarial in my life. And of course, initially, there was a reaction on a denser note. And then, and it's something that you and I talked about a while ago, we're talking about intuition. And I decided to, instead of looking out for my good, I prayed for the highest good for both parties involved. And what happened was a very amicable solution. And I know energetically, had I not been blessed to be in that frame of mind, it would have had a very different outcome, it would have been much more stressful. And it might not have had the same benefits to both parties. And it was something that you and I discussed about mutuality and how key it is in life when we are connected and realizing our interconnections that it's for the good of us, not the good of me or the good of you, but it's we, our only one, it's for our good. And that just happened to me two days ago. Oh, I'm so happy to hear that. Very, very exciting. Yeah. That reminds me of when my husband and I moved back to New York, we moved here without furniture or jobs and we didn't have anything that a person might need to get an apartment in New York. But we were trying and we found this one apartment that we really liked and we couldn't get it because we didn't have a guarantor that was willing to step up. And so we lost this one apartment and I was, I was attached to it for a day. And then I just realized like, well, it's not our apartment, you know, just not meant to be. So then we went about subletting once we realized like, okay, we don't have these things, we'll just sublet from someone and found this apartment in Jackson Heights and went out to look at it. And it was, I mean, it was so divine. We walked in and the apartment was all green and the woman said, oh, it's green for prosperity. And I just knew like, oh, I was in the right place. And she was somebody who was tired of winter. She just needed to go live on the beach and go back to Florida. And she needed somebody to take her whole apartment now. And she sold us everything in her apartment for 400 bucks. So like bed, furniture, everything, pots, pans, I mean, everything. And then we sublet it. And when we had enough cash to prepay for the nine months of the sublet, and nobody said like, you don't have jobs, you don't have receipts, nothing. It was just like cash. And we got everything we needed. And it was so divine because it was like, she needed to give this stuff to somebody, right? She couldn't take it. She couldn't deal with it anymore. She had to go like the next day go that we just have on the counter. And like, there were books, I mean, there were the millionaire mind was in there. There were spiritual books. She was like, Have you read the secret? You know, and it was amazing to me that like, this person was waiting for us as we were looking for her. So it was like mutually beneficial. And we got what we needed. And she got out of town. And it's just such a wonderful like, if you can focus on the highest good, right, the highest good was that we got this apartment and that she got to leave. Yes. So it, we have the ability to tune into that. And, and, you know, choose again, I find that very liberating, you know, to say, Okay, not this way, this way. Exactly. And in each moment, right, like we can choose a new, it's an opportunity. Yes. Very much so.  And what did you find most helpful for you with that? Was it the meditation or did you have a dramatic change in your lifestyle? I did.  I was a kind of a cynical person at this point in my life. And, but when you're faced with a diagnosis, right, that's not very good, you kind of, it's a hail mirror, right? Like I'll try anything at this point. So, and, you know, and it was wonderful. I mean, it was two days into it. And she just said, this isn't about you dying. This is about you deciding whether or not you want to live. And for me, that's where I was, you know, that was my choice. And so that was like the kick in the butt. And I thought, well, of course I want to choose to live, don't I? And then I had to work through that, you know, really work through my feeling like if life wasn't worth living, what was they doing here?  So, I mean, it took me a long time. I mean, part of my journey was, you know, to go through the traditional treatment of chemo and radiation. And I had a long back to me and to go through nine months of, you know, really, really intense medical stuff that started like the next week. I mean, you don't, there's not much time in that process. So it's, it's like a roller coaster ride. You just kind of get on and hang on. But then the other piece was to really, I had to grieve the life that I had to let go of. And I know that might sound crazy, but it's like, if you're, if you're in a life where all your friends go out and all your friends drink and all your friends party, and that's all I really knew for a long time, I had to grieve that person, right?  I mean, pretty much it was a slow transformation in some ways, but if you look back, I mean, it was, it was a quantum leap is what I would say it was. It was a quantum leap. And then the spiritual piece kept coming back, kept coming back and that deep and a deep and a deep and, you know, I went through all kinds of classes and I've just studied all different things. But I think for me, it's like really tuning in to your heart again. It's like disease is really just a symptom, an external manifestation of something going on. And, you know, cancer is a very loaded subject and there's all kinds of things going on from the environment, you know, to things we eat, things are in our world. Who knows what causes it, you know? And for me, I didn't, I didn't focus on any of that. I just focused on here it is, I've got it. And now what can I do? What power can I seize?  And another thing that I found really helpful was to completely ignore statistics and to completely ignore all the fearful information that's out there on the internet. And some people really need to know what's in the medicine they're taking. Some people really need to know, like, what are the possible side effects of this treatment? I just went on faith. I mean, I completely believed that I was healed and saw myself as healed and then just said, I have to walk these steps. You know, I'm just going to walk these steps and get through it. And it was nine months. I mean, it was very, very difficult, very, very brutal.  That you might dye your shoes with and it kills pretty much everything in you. But I just choose to look at it as like this magic lemonade, right? I didn't look at it and I didn't think about it. So for me, it was a complete mental choice and a leap of faith and really tuning into like seeing the end result, right? Seeing it as positive without ever holding the option that it couldn't be. You know, I sort of just said, well, that's it. I'm better. I just got to go through this to get there. That was what really helped me. Beautiful. Yeah. Beautiful. And look at you now. Seven years and even now I don't seven years, seven years. I don't, I'm not the kind of person who participates so much in that life and in that world. I mean, for me, it was a catalyst, right? And I know some people, it's really helped them to stay active in that community and do walks and do things. And I totally appreciate and support that path. But for me, it's been a catalyst and the spirituality for me has been the most important thing that came out of that. So really tuning into my nature and who I am and to stay focused on that, right? Because it can be a nice, wonderful reminder for me. Like, here's what happened in one instance when you didn't stay connected to your heart and you don't want to lose that again, you know? For me, that's what it serves as a beautiful reminder to stay tuned in. Well, that's a wonderful message too. Thank you. Thank you for sharing that. Oh, you're welcome. Also, showing that you got quiet and you followed your own guidance and you had faith that and no doubt, there we go. Coming out on the other side, just fine. Thank you. Yeah, I think that's wonderful. And we all have that inner wisdom and we can get in touch with it using a variety of things we've been talking about today and listening to our heart and quiet voice and doing healthy things, eating healthy things, meditating, whatever it is that gets you in the zone, you know? For me, as I mentioned before, drumming does that prayer meditation, meditating out in nature and just sitting there, sitting on a bench or walking through the park and just observing all of it, you know, feeling it that we are all one and we're all interconnected. You know, it's a real treat. And I'd like to kind of do a little meditation to close us out. Oh, that'd be beautiful. I wanted, would you share your site with people? Sure. I'm on Jennifer Alhasa, J-E-N-N-I-F-E-R Alhasa-A-L-H-A-S-A dot com. And you can come there and you can see about intuitive coaching, you can see about Get Glowing, my radio show, and also link to Dear Soul Sisters. So hope to see you, JenniferAlhasa.com. Thank you. Thank you. Yes, glowing. That's it. Get glowing. That's Jennifer's tag line. I love it. So shall we glow with a little? Let's glow and grow. Let's go. In today and we're sending you dolphin love. Dolphins are totally tuned into their intuition. And thanks again, Jennifer. It was a pleasure. Thank you so much, too. It's been wonderful to be here. Great. Have a blessed week, everybody.


Again, I just ended that first one. We had a little problem at the shop. Pretty easy fix. Got to take care of. So that last log, I ended up getting five off two by eights out of and one shorter one. You know, the first five are all 14 foot. The last one's going to be eight foot. So I got to stack these babies over here. We're starting a new pile because we're starting to get pretty heavy on that last stack and doubt that any hydraulics around here is going to lift that stack up as it is. So I'm going to stack these.  And then I'm going to mill a giant log after this one. Pushing 100 anyway, carry in the lumber. Eight by 14 right there, fellas. One more. What's up, guys? I have to saw mill. As you can see, we had a little run going on with a live, if you missed that one. You could always tune back in. I think YouTube posts that as soon as I can. But stacking lumber, making roof rafters right now. Had a hemlock log. Got a beast of a log here. It's a little bit challenging getting it loaded onto the mill alone. But I've done enough of these where I can do it. Sometimes you just get in and out a couple of times. So I'm going to try it right now. Get you guys a vision of it. Gonna put the stanchions up. Wouldn't be bad if we had forklifts, but we got this rig that, to be honest with you, it's kind of a pain in the neck. Who's gonna watch that one get cut out? All right, we got a part two ice cream shops on autopilot, you're right. Yeah, it's just a small problem. Easy fix, easy fix, guys. So it's pretty great. I'm able to be over here milling. Yeah, it's gonna be wet this weekend up here, I think. Definitely working hard, Lane. Definitely working hard. We've got a beast of a hemlock on there now. Big solid. I gotta get that thing rolled and situated, so bear with me until I get it locked in the right way. This one's gonna be hard to move alone. But if it's round enough, it'll roll. I'll lock it in just in case, I don't think she's going anywhere.  Small end, we're looking at 19, we're looking at 20. So it doesn't shrink too much. It's just got a little bit of wobble in it. You can see it's down below right there. So I think that first cut's gotta be somewhere around 15. It'll be a decent slab, but yeah. So I'm gonna give you guys this angle for this one. See how you like that. And if you guys are just tuning in, I'm milling hemlock for floor stringers, looking for two by eights by 14s. These logs are like 14, eight, 14, six, 14, 10 long. And they range in from 15 to 26 inches around at the butt. So looking to get, geez, I ought to be able to get a pile out of that one. I take as much as I possibly can. So looking to get like more than eight out of this one would be awesome and some two by fours. I'll check back with you guys to leave comments. Ice fishing in Wisconsin. Lake Pattonwell, I'm gonna have to check that one out. It might be awesome. So yeah, so milling right now, I'm gonna get this thing going and you guys can walk me, take her down.  Here we go. What did I say? I already forgot my number. I already forgot it. One roll, time to time. And I don't know what the situation is because every time Donny and I show up, our gas cans are always empty. Well, let me see if I got enough. You hate to see it. You hate to see it. Out of gas. Not cool. What do you think?  We bring both cans. We use water for the other. Do you know all the comments? Well, if you wanna check the comments. Yeah, I saw a roof is leaking bad. We need much of a roof. They're gonna fix that roof. This mill is like over 40 years old. Too much, I do think. We're trying to get this one last project out of it. I got lube for the blade. I don't know if you guys saw me stop and fill up the, with the blue jug. That's lube for the blade. Excuse me. So, it's finished on it. We need to fix it all so that we can fix it as best as we can. Back to 240. That'll bring back some memories. Some of you guys, I bet. Here's the apple orchard. Donny's mom planted all these trees. About 75 years ago, I guess. And she just passed. We're gonna run up to the gas station. Go get some petrol so we can finish this log. Real pretty house over here. Brown residence. Life skating as a kid. Learned how to play hockey there. Of course some buggy signs. Oh boy. So here's the Amish working on Jamie's place. Hopefully get it strapped down. Strapped down pretty good. Hopefully get that baby strapped down pretty good for this weekend. Cause I heard we got some wind coming. So it's gonna be pretty rough. So I hate to see anything happen over there. So there's a couple of Amish working on it right now and those guys know what they're doing. So I just hope they can get everything strapped down and secured before we get that hurricane. They're saying like 25 mile an hour winds, which isn't too bad, but you know, gusts could be severe as well. But if you're just tuning in, I'm heading to the gas station cause we'd run out of gas at the mill. Never want that to happen. We got, we're just getting to the good part of that log. Yes. This is Peasley's quick stop. I got enough in the truck. We're not going to mess around. We're just going to get a couple of Jerry cans and go. Yeah, going to get some gas for the mill so we can finish up that beautiful log. I was trying to count how many two by eights we're going to end up getting out of that. It's going to be a pile. This is the first gas can. Here's the second one. I'm at the gas station. We run out of gas at the mill and I'm needy into a beautiful hemlock log that I'm trying to get some roof rafters out of. So stopped operations. Gonna come over here and get some gasoline so we can finish the job. Ice fishing's coming Bernie. You are right bud. Oh, you said, oh, McBee said looks like your saw roof is leaning. Yeah, it's leaning. It's leaking too is how I read that first comment. Brian, do you plan on seeing you in St. Paul in December? Hope to catch you and Donnie on one of the lakes ice fishing too. That'd be awesome, man. We are pumped to do it. Back in business pretty soon. Pop that in the mill and we're back in business. I'm running out of gas right now. Wicked. That's what it is man right now. Wine day. I'll go slow so you guys can see these Amish working. They got no strapping, no safety harnesses or straps or anything. He's up there probably 25, 30 feet off the ground just walking on two by six. Stay tuned, you'll be able to see that in a minute I'm gonna turn you guys the other way and I'll go slow and hopefully I'll point it pointed at it for you. They're working on my buddy Jamie's place. He's built a real nice garage here in Jefferson. Yeah, I'm gonna slow down for you. Right here on the right, they're putting up they're getting ready to roof trusses. It looks like they got the first one on there. But yeah, he's climbing down but they've been walking. As you can see, they've been walking on top of that. He's on the left, they're putting trusses up. Pretty cool. One of the best maple syrup places right down that road and the hunt lumber and hardware on the right, they're gonna be bringing up some lumber for us, I hope. You guys are just tuning in. I had to stop at a really critical point on that log because we'd run out of gas. Not good. No good when you need to eat but you gotta quit. Lucky for me, gas station opened right down the road a couple miles away. How the hornet's doing? You shot got him yet? No, I'm waiting for a cold morning. So they're a little sluggish. I don't know, what do you guys think is the best way to attack those birds with a, I could fly the drone in their face. That's kind of fun to do and video. It's nice and cold, one of these cold mornings but I'll show you them the day before and I just watch them coming and going. They haven't bothered me yet but this is our turn. They haven't bothered me yet but you know it's just a matter of time. One net right out the woods. You pass the skid out of the box of woods road. There she be, the sun's always shining on the mill. Electric mill in the future, imagine, he is. We're back. That gas can might've flipped over. That gas can might've flipped over on that hard turn. Come up on me quick. Yeah, she flipped, hopefully she's not leaking.   Just tuning in now guys, I'm knee deep into this beautiful log, about to get her down to eight inches so I can give her a roll and we run out of fuel. We got some fuel pirates out here that I guess they don't know where the gas station is. I'm gonna write directions on my gerry cans so when they use them they at least know there's directions to the gas station. She's giving her a drink, she'll take all five. Fueled up, let's see if we can get her running. She don't like to start sometimes after that. I think she's ready to dance. One side's perfect, but I flipped it over and we got wrought, that's not good. I don't know if you guys can see that. See it right there, that's wrought. That's not good for a roof rafter.  And then you bring it around to the other side of the log. I bet you it's just as bad, if not worse.  Shoot, hidden right in the middle of that log with some rock. Well, I can get like four or five out of it I guess and then I can double check and see what we're working with. So these cuts might get a little funky here for a minute. I was gonna take, this one's 13 inches wide. So I was gonna get a two by four and a two by eight out of it, but it looks like I'll just be kind of cutting around that rot and getting two by fours out of it.  See what we can do, we'll do our best. That took forever, not my best log ever, was we were set up to be had some rot deep in the center of it, that one ended up a pretty decent amount of just various lumber. We didn't get what my target was, but let me, I'll clear this off. Got a lot of slab wood out of it, a lot of thinking, a lot of scrapping, get the most out of that, then we bought some good with the least amount of waste. Yep. All right, so I'm tired, I'm not gonna lie. That one took a lot of energy out of me on that one, but I got four, two by four, eight footers right there to start the junk log where we got the rot. As you can see, I'm just gonna turn this camera around. As you can see, like, see that rot right in there. Looks like the ants might've gotten in it. So I left that as a four by four. So that's a four by four right there, which we need four by fours for stacking the lumber on. So in this pile, I know I got one bad two by eight that's probably gonna get rejected. So otherwise I have one, two, three, four, five, six, minus the one, I got five excellent two by eights there for rafters. For two by fours, this one's got some wane, we can cut a rounder, we could probably use that for like a plate. We got one, two, three, four, four, 14 foot, two by fours. And then over here, I got that one eight footer. And I think I had those other four eight footers on there before from a different one. So all in all, I mean, no, Donny's gonna check these, believe me. Donny's actually pretty good on, he's pretty lenient on them. You know, I'm a little bit more finicky when it comes to sawing them than Donny is, because, but he knows a lot more about it building than I do and like where we could use one that has some wane or maybe not quite as strong, but it's a full size two by four. You gotta keep that in mind too. That log was a struggle. It was, of course, we ran out of gas, that didn't help, battery died, that didn't help. What else? Then we hit that rot, that didn't help. I had it all set up to be a wicked staven log, but what else? Oh, what else on this one? So yeah, we didn't break a blade. I was fully expecting to break a blade and the hornets to come over and sting me after the way that log was going for a while there, but ended up doing okay with it.  There's, I mean, no way. The only thing that could touch it would be like fire, because we've got an incredible foundation under it for woods foundations, and then we're gonna build it the right way too and insulate it the right way and make it good and weather tight, mouse tight, everything like that. But yeah, so like, I'll show you guys the rotten ones that I can't use. That's where the ants got into that after it started rotten. That's a two by four and under it's a nice two by eight. So Wicked Bummer, you know, you're gonna come across stuff like that and anything in life where it doesn't turn out as good as you expected.  So that's why you saw me doing all those single cuts back and forth, back and forth. It takes a lot longer, but I ended up salvaging the log and salvaging, you know, all the effort and time I put into it by getting all these two by fours and some two by eights mixed in and some good, some decent stuff. So, you know, they're not all 10s, you know, sometimes 10 turns into a two and maybe you dress her up a little bit, make her into a four. And I'd say this one was about a four. So it's probably gonna do it for me today. I gotta go cut a couple trees and cut them down to dimension. I gotta go cut a 16 foot hemlock and I gotta cut probably two or three more 14 footers and maybe, maybe a 12. What brand's your battery jumper pack? That's a great question, man, because this one, I've been blown away by this thing. That's a Noco. It's the Noco Boost XL GB50. It's a 1500 amp. I've used that thing on dual battery loaders like that one, on back-os. Stuff that you just never thought would ever start and I've used it on plenty of car batteries and stuff like that too. And for as small as it is and as light as it is, I'm blown away by it. I'm not sponsored by these guys or anything. I probably should talk to them about a sponsorship because I stand behind the product but it's got a light on it and you can plug your GoPro's into it and stuff like that. That one's just the 1500 amp. They make them bigger, they make them smaller. There was like a Amazon Prime day one year, like two years ago or three years ago I bought that thing because it was like, I don't know, $50, $75 off or something like that. But yeah, feel free with any questions like that guys. I'm pretty open and honest with all that stuff. I'll go back through. Yeah, it worked awesome. As soon as I put that baby on there, she kicked right to the front and started. I was surprised it wouldn't start anyway but it's just small batteries on these mills. Oh, let's see some more comments. The Harbor Freight one, he says works and does perfect. That's good to know. Yeah, we hauled in rock. I'm editing video right now of the last four days Donny or previous four days before these last two. Donny and I were up there with a couple of special guest appearances too. And we hauled in a ton of slate and shale and then we hauled in some top gravel before we got washed away. So I'm working on those videos now. It's going to be minimum four part series. You know, minimum one for each day. I'm going to try to keep it interesting for you guys but we got a ton of work done, took down a ton of trees and cleared some land. And yeah, can't thank the guys enough that were with me on that one. So how many loads you got to haul of wood for the camp? So if we were hauling it the way we were planning I've got to believe it would take me like six loads to get it up there. It's just so heavy and bulky. But what we're doing is we're hiring the local lumber company. I'm going to buy my advanced tech from them. I'm going to buy my blue foam from them and the cement pads that we're going to set this thing and I'm going to have those and I'm going to put them, I'm going to buy them from that lumber company and then they said they would haul all our lumber up on one of their big lumber loading trucks for a hundred bucks an hour. So that's a hell of a deal in my opinion. You know, it's going to cost me anyway. It's going to cost me probably a truck engine or two and a trailer and tires and just a hassle of hauling something, you know, six hours away. So to me that's money well spent. So we're going to do it all in one load. I'm going to fill up my snowmobile trailer with some odds and ends for lumber and staging. I got a list a mile long of stuff. I'm going to try jamming that snowmobile trailer and we're going to go up there pretty soon. Still on track to get it framed up before snowfall or winter, Brian asked. Yes, we are. This hurricane is going to set us back a couple of days. Hopefully we don't get too bad of washes up there. We're right on the side of a hill on the bottom of a driveway.  Yeah, I mean, even I wouldn't even tell you what I'd be willing to pay for that. But as far as the schedule goes, Donny's real particular how he wants to build this thing. And Donny and I have built plenty of stuff before. So we're going to build it just the way Donny wants to. He wants it to just be him and I for the box, you know, the bottom box, the floor system. Because he likes to take his time on that. He likes to mortise and tenor enjoying the six by sixes. He likes to get everything perfectly flush, perfectly square, perfectly plumb. So that way as you go up and up higher and higher, it's just an easier job. So he likes to take his time. He doesn't like to have a lot of guys around for that because he's seen in the past where you get too many guys, guys start pushing or getting a step ahead or something like that. So Donny and I are planning on two to three days minimum for us to do that. Then we got to insulate it with blue foam underneath. I thought of a pretty cool idea that's going to save us a bunch of time and energy for that. And then we're going to bring in, Stevie's going to start taking some time off work and he's going to come up for the framing. And then after the frame and we're going to need some help for the, for the rafters and stuff. And I think we got a pretty good crew lined up for that. So we are on schedule. Donny doesn't want me to insulate for at least a month. If we get our wood stove done and then in time, we're going to, you know, we'll be running fires in there to try it out, but he wants this lumber to get a chance for about a month to dry out before we insulate it. I'm thinking about hauling a generator and a dehumidifier up and just running that thing 24 hours a day once we get the windows and doors in. So tomorrow we're picking up windows and doors. Got a carpenter in town that's had some from some salvage jobs that's nice enough to hold and sell to us. So we're going to go look at those and then we're going to be heading up shortly after the hurricane. So yeah, as far as schedule goes, it looks good to be on schedule. We're pretty excited about that. I'm going to check some more comments here, guys. Yeah, as long as we get it closed in before winter. Signal booster up there. So there's no signal there. I bought this Elon Musk star link or space link or whatever the heck they call it. And it works. It actually works. The trouble is it doesn't work right where the cabin is going to be. Because I think the canopy's got to be super clear and you got to watch out for ridges and stuff. We're like, we got a ridge right behind us. So if it's satellite isn't right over us, probably not going to work right on that property. But I took it up to the shale pit and it was like 0.8 miles away under a mile and thing worked pretty man. It dropped every once in a while as far as video and live goes, but as far as getting out and making sure everybody's safe down home and making sure the ice cream shop's okay and family's good and we're getting out for an order or to try to line something up like the metal roof and or something like that. And then we got enough signal to be able to do that. So, and I still got to learn how to use the thing to be honest with you. So I'm still learning as far as that goes. Yep, CJ says, I like the way Donny thinks get it perfect in the beginning. And it's way easier from there. It's so true. It is so true. You can make up a quarter inch here or there, but you'd rather not and a quarter inch on the bottom turns into four inches up top to be honest with you. But yeah, we won't be ordering any pizza. We're going to be cooking. Donny and I said, you know, we're just, we don't want to put a ton of effort into the cooking and the food this trip. We're going to have really nice meals at dinner time. You know, that's always nice. Donny will be quitting a little bit earlier than I will each day. So as far as breakfast goes, we're probably going to hammer some cold stuff, drive some cereal into us at lunch. We're going to be right on the peanut butter jelly train, which, you know, we could both live off them things. We'll be having Donny donuts on special occasions. And once the boys come up too. So, so yeah, awesome project. Looking forward to seeing it come to fruition me too. But I'm, as you can see, like I am exhausted. Like I've been running on exhaustion for a couple of two weeks anyways. But I'm so excited about this project. And the closer I get to being done milling, the happier I get. I love milling, don't get me wrong, but it's just been a struggle. You know, like it's just been a struggle keeping things going and, and getting out here in the weather and stuff. Peanut butter and jelly is the best energy you can get on a building project. And it doesn't weigh you down either. But yeah, I think Donny counted 42 rafters. We needed, no, what do you count? He counted 35 and we needed 57 is what it was. So we had to do 22 more. And I think I did five more there and five more there, so 10. So I think we're down to like, we're down to under 20 rafters left. So I got to cut a couple more trees. Two more good trees, I'll do it three. I'll make sure and I don't mind cutting extras just in case, you know, one has a, has a bad spot in it or, or a crack that we didn't notice. Or if we cut one wrong, it's happened before. I've seen Donny make two bad cuts in his whole life. One of them was his thumb and the other was on a rafter because he cut one of my lines instead of one of his. So yeah, so we'll, we'll do a couple extra of those and go from there, but I'll keep watching for comments here, guys. If you got, I'll stay on here for as long as you guys wanna ask comments or do any interacting. Yeah, JJ said you might gain a few extra unexpected trees if the wind kick up on Saturday were. Yeah, so we're not a lot of people go into where we are. You know, we're wilderness, but there are some other camps in the area, but who knows like after the storm, who's gonna be in there?  Oh man, I really appreciate that.  It makes us work harder and really helps drive the channel. And yeah, so somebody just asked where Donnie was today. So Donnie milled with me. We had a bit of a rain out this morning and I had to sanitize my saucer of machines at the shop. So that took a while and then we had a rain out. So Donnie took me and a friend out to Chinese food out to Lucky Gardens. That's his favorite place. And then the rain stopped shortly after. And let me see. Like, set that thing up so it stops wobbling. Yeah, so the rain stopped shortly after. So we came right out to the mill and stacked everything that I cut yesterday and then we milled like one or two to get, I think we milled one together and he had to go get his hair buzzed off. So he had an appointment for like a hair trim. So he did that.  And he's, he's 81 now and he's getting over a little bit of a sickness. I guess it wasn't COVID, but it was whatever this creepy crud's going around. And he works till about, you know, 11, 12, one o'clock. You know, you could push him to two, but I don't like pushing them at all. I'm happy with anything I get out of Donnie, but at that age, but, but he works till about noon every day, you know, from getting up at like 430 or five. So, yep. So, so, so after, you don't see him on a lot of these lives after three because, because he's usually done for the day and he's preparing for tomorrow. So I, as far as the build goes, it'll probably be similar to that, you know, and like, if he gives me a list to do, whether it be go cut those rafters or go cut, you know, two by fours or pickup, whatever you want to do, I'll be doing that. Okay, so not a lumber. This is Brian, the not a lumber. I can't relate to the question, but when you come out to Minnesota this winter, do you have any idea of the lakes you'll be fishing? So Brian, they bumped the show a little earlier. I think it's like December 1st. So it's pushing it for safe ice. I mean, I'd love to be out on Red Lake, fishing early walleye. Never done it before, read enough about it. My good buddy, Nick, Leonard tells me all about it too. So, I mean, I'd like to fish some of the big ones. Malax, red, ram, but I understand, you know, ice is going to be an issue early December. It could be awesome, it could be bad. So I don't mind fishing some of the Metro City stuff or for crappy for those hybrids or whites or blacks. Some of those guys I fish with last year just awesome. So I know I'm going to be like in the Brainerd area again. I did, I really liked that area. Goal wasn't quite frozen when I was there, but the one across the street was frozen real well. And then I went up to like Alexandria and then anytime I'm up like Otter Tail County, I feel totally at home there. And we had like feet of ice there when we were looking at two inches or so down city. So there's a pretty good chance the one day or one part of the trip will be within an hour of the city if we get some ice. And then after that, like I wouldn't be surprised if I don't end up in that Brainerd area. I had some people invite me to blue and said that area was a good area, good area to fish and good area to always cold. So when we're out in Minnesota, there's pretty good chance we're going to jump around a little bit, Otter Tail County, perfect. Yeah, I had one of the greatest fishing experiences I've ever had there with some really cool guys. There's a guy named Cody Hill. He quit his job, turned into a guide now and he's, you know, I can't recommend the guy higher more than I would recommend Cody. It's under like Sea Hill or Chill Guide Service and Alex Tim and I went up and those guys were buddies and we fished together and just had an amazing day where it was just like as quick as you could dunk it, you were catching pan fish and then Mosque and Pike would move in and that's that day Alex hooked that one bought it for over an hour and a half on like two or three pound test, whatever it was. So Otter Tail County is like definitely favorite to me and I feel at home around there. But yeah, back to the build project.  Big Pine, I don't know where Big Pine is in Minnesota. I'll have to check into that one. But yeah, we'll be traveling all over the state for sure and then we'll also get into Wisconsin a little bit. So you Wisconsin guys, don't be afraid to shoot me the DMPM or RM or whatever there are and let me know on some really cool areas to ice fishing Wisconsin early season. But yeah, as far as the building project goes, I'll share the list with you as we pack. It's going to be a mess. Maybe Donnie and I will go live tomorrow as we start to pack and I got to make a home depot trip and I got to buy a couple more tools which I don't mind buying tools, something like that usually it's great and they last a lifetime. So yeah, so we got to buy some tools. We got to buy some supplies and stuff and there's a pretty good chance to go live tomorrow at some point in the day, whether it be loading the trailer, talking about our packing list or we might end up right here milling some lumber tomorrow if the weather holds off and then yeah, yeah. So that's about it as far as that goes guys. I mean, the building project is how excited I am to do it and do the work. Like I love doing the work. I love the challenge of it. It is a challenge to mill your own stuff anyway for your building, let alone if it's six hours up into the woods, you know, an hour away from any hardware store or civilization. So yeah, we're pretty excited about that. That's about it. Still quite a few guys watching. If you guys have any more questions or comments, I'll stick on here for a couple more minutes and then I'm pretty bushed. The mosquitoes are staying away because I stink so much. Yeah, Donnie said he felt a lot better today. He seemed back to his old self today. So that was like a quick video. Andrew Harris loves the videos from Colorado. Awesome, thanks. But one of these years, I'm gonna be Al's brother that lives near Denver and I'd like to get out there and do some of that lake trout fishing through the ice and do a little ice fishing. Can I buy an axe from you? Really, I don't really sell them, but I might, you know, if I get time, I'll be able to, you know, on the mouse protection for the new cabin. So mouse protection, and there's a guy from Wisconsin, awesome. Thanks for checking in. Mouse protection is huge. Like we hate mice. I just hate mice.   And not a big fan of mice. So we're gonna pay super, super extra attention to detail during the build to make sure that there's not a crack, not a knot, not an open space anywhere. We're gonna build this thing as tight as we possibly can, mouse proof. We're gonna use that rock sill insulation, which I heard is good for rodents or against rodents. And just keep everything as tight as possible. And, you know, I mean, we'll have to set a trap here or there, but, you know, the Ack Shop, the Ack Shop that Donnie and I built, geez, about three or four years ago, my woodworking shop, that one we built in a very similar fashion, never had a mouse in it till this day. And I leave food out there and everything. Yep, diesel poop, yeah. Disease and poop, yeah, exactly. So as far as under the floor joist, we're gonna put a two inch styrofoam, then we're gonna have a barrier, like a, we're probably gonna have a, like an air, like a, we'll have like six inches of air in between for added insulation. And then we'll have the top of our floor joist, which is what I do is we buy advanced tech and use advanced tech on that. We glue it and screw it as tight as absolutely possible. So there's nothing coming through there and aunt isn't even gonna be able to find its way through because it is tongue and groove. It's glued, it's glued down. There's no way anything's getting in. Now they might try to get in under that blue board in that space we have. And I guess maybe I'll throw some mothballs in there.  But I know it keeps the rodents away pretty good. And in that space, we might not even be able to smell it ourselves. So, and I don't mind throwing mothballs onto the camp either.  I don't know how they get these mothballs. Those things are so tiny.  It's gotta be pretty gruesome. I don't know. So I don't really support the whole mothballs trade, just like shark fins, I guess. But, but yeah, she's starting to get dark here, guys. Already watching ice videos, nice. I got three. I got three series I'm gonna get to you guys before the season started that I held back from the end of last year. And all three are very, very special. I lost a ton of footage from one of them. I tried to get you last year when I went out with CJ and we put on a yellow perch clinic like I've never seen. But I do have one of the days of that trip. And then I have a couple others that I'm gonna share with you guys. So I'm as excited as I am for this build. The goal is to get it done before ice fishing season. So, you know, we can get out to Minnesota and then come back to Maine and ice fish Maine or Wisconsin or wherever else along the way. Yeah, get some grub. Oh boy, tomorrow's a new day. I hear you. Yep. We ate Chinese for lunch and about a half hour later, I was ready for a nap and still hungry.  So I'm gonna drive a deer steak into me. That was a pretty cool bird just landed right there. Say, I'll remember in a minute, but hopefully it eats wasps. Cause we got a nest over there guys that's brutal white-faced wasps. And that nest is about the size of a basketball. They're coming and going as quick as you can ever see. I got a mess with it. I just can't resist it. So I don't know. Maybe I'll use 12 gauge on the cold morning. Maybe I'll use the raid. Raids like cheating. I think maybe the 12 gauge or maybe I'll just fly the drone and inch away from it and let them come out and get chewed up. They usually try to attack the drone and then the blades chew them up and I can get the whole thing on video. That'd be kind of fun. So beware of the set of blades on the drone. Maybe I'll fly the drone into it. But yeah, can't do it. Can't use fire on it cause it's right here by the mill and we got so much oil and gas spilled over the years. Deal with them at night. Yeah, definitely. The drone would be fun, especially if I video it. I learned this when I was fishing the, I guess it was the Potomac River. Was it Potomac? Yeah, Potomac. And they had like a Mallows Bay is where it was. And they had a graveyard of old warships. And they had one steel one that was above the surface. And I flew the drone up to get a shot. And it just started snowing wings and faces and tails and pieces of wasps on me. And then I started watching the video and man, that shipwreck was infested with wasp nests and they would come up and try to attack the drone and we're just getting chewed. And the cover of my boat in like five minutes was just covered. The total top of the boat was covered in parts and pieces from these wasps. So I mean, it was kind of, it was kind of fun to do, to be honest with you. So I might do it to these guys and that keeps me a little safe distance away. The only problem is pretty good chance I'm gonna crash the drone cause it's such a tight spot and there's a bunch of tree limbs around stuff. And I won't be able to get in to get my drone until they're taken care of.  That's all I'm gonna say. They're as bad as they get. You forget how bad they, I think that's the one you feel for over a week or two for a long time since I mess with them. So maybe I won't mess with them at all. Maybe I'm smart enough and old enough now but part of me tells me to go mess with them.  I'll do it.  You guys, you guys pay attention if you see I'm going live over the next couple of days cause that might be a real fun one to do. We got some animals talking over there. I'll do a deer. A deer and moose out here. I'll wonder what the heck's going on with all this talking and chatter. So any more questions guys or are we gonna go eat a steak? Browntail moss. So this year we didn't really get hit by them. We've been dealing with them for like the last six or seven years. They're awful. I mean they're terrible on oak trees and they started devouring some other like elm trees and a few other hardwoods. I've never seen them in the maples but like a fungus kills them. So like a real wet year like this really puts a hurting on them and doesn't allow one of their life cycles. So a really good year for us this year on Browntail Moss has been terrible. No chronic waste and disease on the moose or deer up here yet. We're getting two things are killing the moose. Nothing's really killing the deer other than us and the coyotes and the cars.  It's awful. It's awful. Like they get it, it crawls in their nose.  So that's one thing that is affecting the moose herd a little bit. And then the big thing that's affecting the moose herd or the second biggest thing that's affecting them are the ticks. The ticks have been awful on moose.  So and then the other thing about the moose in Maine is the state's just been selling the herd for since 1980 or 82. And they've been selling them. I mean, let's be honest, they've been selling the herd selling the hunt, it's a big money maker. Anytime you can make that much money on a lottery and then permits and then the whole moose hunt they're gonna, somebody's gonna push it too far when there's money involved. And I saw they went up to 4,000 permits one year and in zone four, I can't even tell you how many. It'd be interesting to look back every year at how many permits they've given in zone four.  Maybe more, maybe more, just out of zone four alone. So yeah, and they make a big whoopie-doo out of it. You're right. But that's what's killing the moose is the state. I've been fortunate enough to get drawn twice. My first hunt was when it was easier and I got to shoot one with one of my absolute best friends. We shot it together, Absolute Trophy, Skull and Antler Club or whatever they call it, Big Boy. And it ate really good. And then the last time I got drawn was last year and I gave my permit to a buddy of mine from Florida who's been trying forever to get in. And we had a great, great hunt. It was a tough hunt. It was second season. They weren't coming to call and he wanted to shoot it with a bow so we had like four chances that, you know, with a rifle probably would have taken it down but wanted to bow hunt and we wanted to have a good hunt. So PB Laker and Pike. PB Laker is in the 11 pound class range. Stay tuned for that video. PB Pike is in the 25 pound class range. My PB Pike ice fishing is just under 21 pounds. It was 20 pounds, I think 11 ounces or something like that. And then open water. I got a couple of 25 pounders in one day. So yeah, so some pretty awesome fish. But if you guys got any more questions, we'll finish her up.  So fingers crossed, then we get it done. Yep, so awesome guys. Really appreciate the support for the channel. You know, Donny and I are always curious like how people find the channel.  Sometimes it just pops up like in the feed. Sometimes like a Google search like that. So we're, if you're new to the channel or even a long time watcher, we're always kind of curious like how you found the channel, what brought you to it. And then we're always super grateful when you do share it with your friends or your family or anybody that you think might enjoy it. You know, like we don't really care about having a million subscribers or anything. We'd rather have, you know, a thousand subscribers that are loyal that follow the channel and enjoy the content that we're putting up. So that's what's cool about this channel is that I answer every single comment or question and then do a lot of interacting with you guys, the subscribers and appreciate when you guys do hit that subscribe button and also leave a comment or a thumbs up or something like that. So mosquitoes are coming up pretty good. We need birds or a couple, we need a couple more of them birdies. Mosquito eating birds. Yeah. Well, I think that is gonna do it, fellas. Definitely deer steak, potatoes, maybe some carrots and beans. I think I got enough okra growing in the garden to pick some of that. Gonna drive all that into me tonight. Gonna sleep in until about 6, 6.30 tomorrow morning. Then Donnie and I are gonna be getting after it in the morning, come rain or shine. Ah, that's cool, JJ got it through Google. So awesome guys. Well, I'm gonna sign her out for tonight, really appreciate it. I don't know if you guys like this lumber mill and stuff or not, but you know, I'm here in a mill and so I'm gonna keep doing the channel for you.  Really appreciate all the support, guys. Thanks again.


In this module, we will be looking at the key differences. And of course, in the next module also, the 10 key differences between Java and JavaScript. Okay. And this is in one module, I'll be looking at four key differences. Remember, it's the key differences. There are many more differences. There can be there are actually key means which are the fundamental differences. Okay, which we'll be covering why because in this course, I am spending a lot of time on JavaScript also and people get confused. Maybe JavaScript is similar to Java or Java is similar to JavaScript. So that is going to be settled in this module and the next module. So let's look at the outline. Look at the background. Okay. Background. Why what are the differences? What are the similarities? There are certain similarities also. I will tell you, but those are just cosmetic similarities. You will be understanding the concept. Then the execution environment of Java is very different from JavaScript. JavaScript is script traditionally usually executes within the client's browser static versus dynamic type language. The data type, which is assigned to a variable, how it's fixed, how it changes in JavaScript, port of closures and of course object oriented programming. So these are the things which will be covered in this module. Background. Now nothing is common between Java and JavaScript. Nothing. The only thing common between Java and JavaScript is that I have this Java over here and I have Java over here. That is all. Okay. I have car. I have carpet. These are entirely two different things. There is certain similarity. Car and car over here. That's all. There's nothing. This is just a cosmetic similarity. So that is how Java and JavaScript are similar. The entirely different things. JavaScript runs at the client side. Although there is no.js that was developed in 2009, which allows execution outside the browser environment. But that's about it. JavaScript is limited to the client browser. And it's the choice of the client, whether to allow JavaScript to run or not. Writing, compilation, execution of Java is very different from JavaScript. Java is everywhere. Java is in mobile phones. Java is in devices. Java is everywhere. Even in toasters also, certain types. Okay. And of course, Java is used by a used in Android and others. JavaScript has limited application domain. JavaScript is for interactivity. Okay. Like flash and validation validation means that at the client side, when the data is entered using JavaScript, it is checked without running a script without using the processing power of the server at the client and it's checked. That is one application of JavaScript is validation. Now let's look into more details. Execution environment of Java and JavaScript is very different. Java is compiled, interpreted, and then binary bytecode. Right. So is the binary code, which is run on a certain environment, right, which is not the case for JavaScript JavaScript is executed by the browser. Okay. It is executed by the browser and supported by most of the browsers. Okay. Java was developed by Sunsystem JavaScript by Netscape. Initially, it was called life script, but then it started to be called JavaScript. And that's why I'm talking about in this module. Java news JDK or Jerry. Okay. But usually every modern browser supports JavaScript static and dynamic type language Java. When in Java, you declare a variable, the type of the variable at the compile time and the type stays the same. That is not the case in JavaScript, except different types of variables. And when this type of this, this is performed. Okay. Then it corrects the type. Of course, there is the equity check also. They're different. I'm not going to go into details in this module, but when the time comes in the subsequent module, we look into more details, more differences, support of closures, JavaScript pass function as an argument. That is not the case for Java. So they're different. Java is pure object oriented programming paradigm. Okay. JavaScript is scripted OP. They're different. Java, you develop large systems is very powerful. It's very stable. A lot of functionality you can develop entire systems using Java and they are developed, but JavaScript is and is usually not used for never. For making enterprises. JavaScript sits close with CSS cascading style sheets with HTML for certain types of applications with limited domain. Of course, that is not the case for everywhere, but usually is the case Java is much better deployed and much better controlled using jar war and air. We see they are different things. They're different animals altogether. I believe you get the point.


So, a few weeks ago, I got this comment on one of my videos. Oh, no, not that one, although I hope that I fixed that issue. This comment about writing a script where you get the input from the command line, which is something I normally do on my scripts, but in the tutorial that wasn't the focus of it, so I just had a read me command, or now read me command, a read command run. Well, today we're going to look at how I do it, and I don't just grab what is passed from the command line, the arguments in the shell. I actually do a few checks on different things. So we're going to do an example today where we're going to give a script a URL, and it's going to download the video using YouTube DL, but it's going to check for the input in different ways. You'll see what I mean. Let's go ahead and get started. Okay. Again, I'm going to use YouTube DL as an example program in this. Basically, we're going to put it in our script and have it take the user input and download a video. Obviously, YouTube DL works as loss options, but if you just give it the URL to a YouTube video, it also works with many other sites and hit enter, it will download that video for you. There we go. So I just downloaded a video I did a couple of weeks ago, my Mason jar video, Blender and Mason jar. So you have to check that video out. Okay. So that's how it works. So let's go ahead and make a script.  So we're going to start with the shebang line for bash and for this script, if we just call the command YouTube DL and we can give it the URL like this, then we're going to exit out of our script. Again, I'm using a Vim as my text editor, but you can use whatever text there you want. We're going to make the script executable and we're going to run it. And it's going to run the videos already downloaded. So it's going to check and tell me that it's already downloaded, but it ran properly. Let's go back into Vim. And the way we would get this to use the user input from the command line as an argument is we're just going to grab the first argument. So dollar sign one. Now if I run my script and I give it that URL, it will run just as before. But if I don't give it input, it's going to throw an error because there's no not a valid URL there. Great. So let's improve upon that greatly. So first off, instead of just passing the first argument to YouTube DL, let's create a new variable and just make it equal to dollar sign one. And then we'll put this in URL here. And so again, that will run the same. I can get out and run that. And if I give it a URL, it will download it. If I give it a bad URL or no URL, YouTube DL will fail. But what I want to do is I want to start off by checking and making sure that a URL is passed. So I could do something like this. I can say if dollar sign URL, and again, URL just equals dollar sign one. It's just naming the variable so we know what it is. I could say something like this and then I can say exit. And not just exit, we want to exit one. Why do we want to exit one? Because that means our script has failed. If you're going to run this script within another script and you want to make sure that your script ran properly, if you just do exit, it will exit out of the script. But it will tell the system that it exited successfully. But we're unsuccessful here. So we're going to exit one so we can check that with other scripts. So now if I do my script and I give it a URL, it will try to download it. Again, it's already downloaded. So it's going to tell me it's already downloaded. But if I just run my script with nothing in there, it just exits. No message or anything at this point, it just exits. Let's go back into Vim. And you could write it like this, but I prefer to use some shorthands. So we don't need the if, we don't need the then or the end of the if then statement. And we don't even need the equals blank because if we just do this, it's going to check is there anything in that variable. If not, it fails. And if it is, then it's going to continue. What I'm going to do here is I'm going to say the pipe pipe symbol, which means the last command failed. So it's checking. Is there anything in this variable if not exit? So that's a much cleaner, shorter way to write it. Again, I can run it with nothing. It's just going to exit or I can run it with a URL and it will continue great, but not perfect because I can still run this script and put some gibberish in there. And it's going to try to download that gibberish. So what I would do in this case is I would add back in that equals equals. And I would say check and make sure that what is passed starts with HTTP. So we're going to say HTTP asterisk. You can also check if you're looking for a certain string within that string put an asterisk there. So if you wanted to check, does it have YouTube in the URL, you can do that. But again, YouTube DL works with multiple sites. So we're just going to check, make sure that we're giving it a URL. If it's an invalid URL, YouTube DL will let us know, but at least we're checking that. So again, now I can run this script. Let's clear the screen without anything and it will exit. If I give it gibberish, it will exit. And if I give it a URL, it will continue properly. If you are getting there at this point, depending on how your shells set up, you might want to put the URL in quotation marks. I usually do that just to be sure some shells might get upset with the special characters in a URL like this. Let's go ahead and go back into our script and improve upon it even more. Okay. So we're checking, does URL have HTTP in it? But that's what's passed to our script. Not if nothing is passed, but I have copied a URL from my web browser. So I'm just going to copy that line. We're going to check, does the URL that's passed as arguments have HTTP at the beginning of it? That's going to be the first thing. If you run the script and you pass it something, go with that. Then we're going to say, okay, if it doesn't, instead of exiting, what we're going to do is we're going to reassign the URL. And in this case, I like to use a program called XClip. There's other programs that work similarly, but XClip will let you put stuff into your clipboard and retrieve stuff from our clipboard. And if I just do XClip-O, it's going to give me the output of my clipboard. And you do have more than one clipboard on Linux, so make sure you're checking the proper clipboard. But that's going to check the default clipboard. So what this is saying is, okay, look at what the argument passed to the script is. Does it start with HTTP? If not, check what's in the clipboard. So if you've copied a URL, it's going to go with that. It's going to check that. Does the clipboard start with HTTP? Okay, if not, then exit. So now what we can do is if we run our script with gibberish, it's going to exit. If we run with nothing, it's going to exit. If we run with the URL, it's going to run that. But if I was to copy this URL, I can run this script without any input, and it's now going to check my clipboard. So it's going to check if an argument has passed and that it's a URL. If not, then it's going to check my clipboard. This is super useful because I have a script like this on my machine that uses MPV and YouTube DL to play a video. So when I'm online, if I'm searching through YouTube, I don't usually click on the video to play it within my web browser. I copy the URL and I hit Windows key, my modifier key, and Y, and it plays it in MPV rather than playing it in the web browser that avoids any ads. It also gives me the player, the video player that I like and the keyboard shortcuts that I like that I can speed it up even more than the YouTube player. Anyway, that's a whole other thing. We're not done with our script though. There's a few other things I would like to do. So we have now checked the input from the arguments. We then checked the clipboard and then it exits. But what we want to also do is check if both of those fail, give the user a chance to enter a URL. So we're going to use the read command dash P and I'm going to say, please enter a URL and I'm going to put that into the variable URL. So now what's going to happen is, let me copy something here so that I don't have, whoops, don't have that URL in my script. So if I run the script with a URL, it's just going to take that URL and download it. If I give it something that isn't a URL or if I give it something that's not a URL or something that's blank, it's going to check my clipboard. Right now my clipboard doesn't have HTTP in it. So at this point it's going to ask me for input. I'm going to copy that address from up there, paste that in there and it's going now use what the user put. So I can now pass arguments to it. If nothing is passed to it or something is passed to it that's not a URL, it's going to check my clipboard to see if that's a URL and try to download that. If both those fail, then it asks the user to input something, but our script also still continues to check. So if I run this again and, oh, let me copy something here because I already copied that URL so it was in my clipboard. So now I'm passing it something that's not a URL that can be gibberish or it can be blank. I don't have a URL in my clipboard so it's going to ask me for a URL. If I put in gibberish here or leave it blank, it's going to exit out. Great! Our script is pretty much done. Although we kind of do want to tell our user how to use our program. So what we could do is in our script, what I would do in this case is I would create a function. I always start off my functions in bash with the function, the word function. You don't have to. I just think it's cleaner looking. You can also just select, I'm going to create an error function like so. You should be able to just do this, but I think it just looks better and it's clearer what's going on if you say function. And so at this point, I'm going to give a little message, usage, usage, yeah, yeah, no E in the middle there, usage. And then we can give the name of our script, but if the script's name is changed, like someone renames the script, you want it to show whatever the name of the command is. And they could also be using aliases. So what we're going to do here is we're going to say $0, which is your first argument, which is whatever the command you're running is. I hope that makes sense. So right now our script is called myscript.sh. If I was to put in here myscript.sh, but later on someone renames the file, this usage isn't going to make any sense, but if we use a variable of $0, no matter what they name the script to or alias to, it will show here. And I'm going to say URL. And then I'm going to say, I like to give them an example. So I'm going to say example, $0. And let me just again, copy that URL. And then at that point we'll exit one. And down here instead of exiting one, we are going to say error. So now if I run my script and I don't have a URL in my clipboard and I didn't pass the URL, it's going to ask me for a URL. And if I give it gibberish or blank, something that isn't a URL, it will then tell me the way you use this program is like this. Here's an example. And I should be able to copy that and paste it in. And it should work because my examples should function. Yeah, so now they know how to use my program. They can see that they can pass it a URL. I could also put in that message that it will check the clipboard. But anyway, that is a lot of people will just make a script that checks, oh, it was something passed, if not exit. I like to do stuff like this. I like to utilize the clipboard a lot. And again, like I have, right now if I was to highlight this and copy this URL on my keyboard, if I hit Windows Y, it pops up a little message saying it's loading a video. Right now it's grabbing. It got the title and it starts playing my video. So anytime I want to play a YouTube video or any of the many other websites that YouTube DL supports, I just have to copy the URL and hit Windows Y and it runs an MPV, which is my preferred video player. Something else I do that we didn't do in this because we're working with URLs here is if you're doing file selection, you can have a check the clipboard, you can ask for the input, you can get the URL. But another thing I would do is instead of saying please enter, what I would use is the FZF command, which I've gone over many times in the past and I use in so many of my scripts. But FZF, if you use it by default, it's just going to start listing the files in the current directory and subdirectories. So there's two files in here and it will return that. You can also use like the find command find and pass that to it and then you can choose a file. So I'll do that if my script is looking for a file name. I'll have it check the arguments, maybe check the clipboard, depending on how the script runs. But if those fail, then I have it will run an FZF command on the folder, the directory, either the current one or the one that that script is looking for and list all the files. And that way, if there's hundreds of files, the user can easily search through them and it will use that rather than a read command.  Anyway, just food for thought there. I'll put this script up on a paste bin. I'll try to remember put a link in the description of this video. And I hope you found it useful. So again, I'll just post it up there. Very short, very simple. We have three lines. So three chances to get the proper input from the user. Anyway, thanks for watching. My website is filmsbychris.com, that's Chris the K.
