We've got a Couple of people in here We're gonna wait just a couple of minutes for people to roll on into everything We've got 16 people live here in the chat right now. What's happening everyone? Thanks for tuning in to the chat right here I'd like it with the rest of all mechanic tonight. We've got a special Kind of event here for you guys. We've gotten a hold of a couple of Instagram Stars over over from there some females who are actual mechanics in the field, you know Everybody is seeing all of the quote-unquote Instagram models and babes who are Changing tires in the bikini and we kind of want to get away from that. We want to just showcase some of the actual Mechanics who are putting in the day-to-day grind and doing actual work and no actually knowing what they're doing So live with me tonight. I have Casey and Christine Casey over on Instagram. I will also have done in the description after this links to their Instagram channels Casey over there is mechanic underscore chick To under two underscores Okay, I will make sure to remind me I will make sure to see that one too and then Christine's is speedy chick 85 Primarily they they do a lot of awesome stuff post a lot of really cool things on Instagram if you guys are into the automotive field over on Instagram like to check out some of the things that You know technicians in general do over there Then they would definitely be something that you guys would really want to check out so we've got a couple of different ones Got a couple of different questions to be able to ask the ladies tonight And some of them are questions that you guys have kind of thrown into the mix. I posted they post on Instagram Earlier yesterday and had been talking to a couple of people before so we kind of got a couple of questions You know just in general to be able to ask for them. So tonight we're gonna be going back and forth We're gonna start off with Christine Tonight give her the first question and we're gonna kind of go back and forth with everything So one of the first talking points and questions that we have for you this evening is Just kind of introduce yourself. We want to know who you are where you work for what kind of work Do you do in the automotive industry? well Again, I'm Christine. I work for a Chrysler dealership in Eastern Pennsylvania. I'm a 16-year Chrysler MasterTech I work on everything from Fiat 500 through to Ram 5500 I'm certified. I grew up in Ontario, Canada. I'm certified in both Canada and Pennsylvania have my Red Seal throughout all of Canada for certifications and I very nearly became a Chrysler training instructor in Boston I've Done all sorts of stuff like dry grace I Don't know what else to tell you really start it. Yeah Yeah, what about you Casey? What kind of mechanic stuff are you getting into? Where are you at? Where are you working at? All right, so I am in Traverse City, Michigan, which is like the top not like the tip-top of Michigan, but I'm up there I'm a certified diesel mechanic and I kind of I know my basic knowledge Like it's from like small engines all the way up to your big semis. So I'm vaguely I know a lot of that and I'm Michigan certified we in Michigan We go kind of go by our licenses. So ASC is aren't really a big thing here You have to get certified through Michigan in order to have a license Right, so if for the viewers who do not know in a greater portion of the United States to become a mechanic It's a good idea to have ASC Certifications or manufacturer certifications to be able to have that under your belt But for the majority of the states you do not have to have any kind of license or certification as a Requirement to be able to work for it. However, Michigan would happen to be one of those states Where you have to have a certified license to be a mechanic personally I think that is something that it should be something that would be You know kind of widespread across the United States that you know These cars are something that kind of roll up and down the interstate at 85 miles an hour Carrying, you know the livelihoods of everyone So it would be kind of in the best interest to see some of those people that Actually have some knowledge working on your cars not always, you know, the things that happen in these days You know, there are some trainees, but they should be covered, you know through some kind of a program At least that's in in my opinion. Yeah So I'm going into the first question. Oh, yeah, definitely Gonna go into the first question to ask for Casey What got you started working on the trucks? I know you said you are a big diesel mechanic I know if anybody has checked out her Instagram account She works on a lot of I'm not gonna hold it against her now, but the fourth, you know The big old blue ovals, you know, but somebody's got to work on them, right? Exactly. What got you started on those? Well, I started with small engine so I used to race lawnmowers So I used to build rainy racing lawnmowers when I was about 12 Um, and it just kind of grew from a smaller engine to wanting to do something bigger So I went to college for the whole diesel thing And I was like, well, I kind of wanted that like I don't mind working on some eyes, but it's not like I can do it I do it for my job, but I'd rather work on motor diesels more than anything So started out building racing lawnmowers and kind of grew from there That's awesome. Well, how about you, uh christine? Um I grew up in a family, but um You know, I first place I wandered off as a kid was a car show. So I mean at 10 years old. I took an engine apart Um, it just kind of went from being a hobby to Uh to becoming a job And you know 16 years later, I'm still doing it and hopefully I'm good at it Well, that is that is definitely the hope for things at least You know when I when I ended up growing up or I didn't have a whole lot of automotive background experience My family uh was a big thing into older Uh, I guess more eclectic things like american motors amc cars I know you guys don't hold that one against me either, but you know, we we started off with some of those amc's My grandpa had an old uh isuzu pup Chopped down that we ended up working on left and right But as far as my my dad and my upbringing we fixed things around the house But we didn't really have a lot of automotive experience aside from just changing outbreaks and everything It was one of those things where I actually went in and got a degree Uh nearly in criminal justice and about what started into becoming a police officer and going into that field When I decided, you know what that really wasn't what I wanted to do So I decided to get into something I like tearing stuff apart Couldn't always put it back together, but I like tearing stuff apart So it kind of leewayed into me enjoying working on cars my cars, especially working on little fancy things Uh here and there and that's kind of how I got thrown into that Uh next question coming for you guys, uh, we'll take this one to christine first What certifications and degrees do you have? I know you kind of tagged on this a little bit And uh, how have those helped you get into the workplace and where you are today? Well, um like uh Um, like I kind of mentioned before I have my red seal certificate or my red seal endorsement in In ontario, however Red seal endorsement is very much that mandatory Certification all across canada you each province and territory has its its own certification If you score or high enough on the certification test you actually get red seal endorsement, which means Um, it's valid in any province or territory. So basically I can work in any shop in any province or territory in canada um, so I have that that endorsement that's a You know, you can walk into any Shop and say I can work here.  You start off as an apprentice Um, but when you can you can explain That to somebody that obviously gets you in the door, especially here in pennsylvania where you don't need a license to work on cars You know what it helps So yeah, I mean that that's a major plus. Uh, the three years of college, uh is a major plus Um I have a background. I was going to be a mechanical engineer when I started working in a shop So it definitely, you know, this sort of stuff helps. Um, I think it helps Give you perspective on everything Wow, that's awesome. We I know that that that's actually considerable amount of training compared to what it takes to start to get into here in the United States The a c certifications for you guys who do not have those It takes Even to be able to get started you can go and take your tests at any time But you're supposed to have at least two years is um certification experience in a shop that has another Previously performed ac certification. Uh, so you have to have Time in a shop working for them on top of passing your ac certification tests Again, not a requirement here in ohio and uh majority of the united states But again, it is a a good thing that definitely helps to have Now, how about you kasey? What what kind of certs do you get looking at? Okay, so I have about six of my michigan certifications. I have, um, actually I have my associates degree and do some mechanics and Agricultural equipment so tractors and everything else I just took it so I would have it under my belt. Do I like working on tractors and loaders and not my thing as much as I mean, I can do it. Do I like to know But and I also have an alternate fuels diploma Which I don't really do that much with if you have a hybrid. I mean, I'll look at it But that's about as good as we're getting In Awesome Yeah, I know it's it's hard getting into you know spreading yourself out across the different fields and the different certifications It's always nice to have something to you know, make yourself set yourself aside from the standard technicians who are in the field Make yourself more wanted needed and you know, hopefully get yourself some more pay in In the field where you guys are working So that's always a big plus for that one So we'll uh, we'll come back into Uh, you kasey and ask you the next question to start off here Uh Did you have any mentors or when you got started in your diesel field and training or journeyman Other texts that helped you to get your training done in starting in the field Well, don't forget you always learn something new every day. That's right. That's right so My boss that I have now has been by far the best mentor. I honestly I can say that I've ever had I've learned so much in the shop that I'm in But before that I interned shipped at a shop before I went to college. I went to university northwestern, Ohio It's all right, but so I went there and Went through that ended up going to a shop right after college and it was horrible Like the my supervisor hated me. No, it happens But um, so honestly my best mentor that I've had it has been the boss that I recently have right now That's awesome. Yep So what about you christine any mentors or Starting into the field for you Um, not so much mentors. Uh, I'm glad that I I had the opportunity to jump into things right away um I started I was 16 or 17 in the shop and I think within like a first year. I was pulling transmissions out of cars. I'm really grateful that I had that opportunity to know the get deep in the things and kind of Not do it on my own but get into things more than how we start people off now with just doing wild changes Um, because you if you're giving the opportunity you're going to be given the opportunity for experience And experience is how we grow knowledge giving people the job of oil changes And hoping that someday we turn them into full-scale mechanics is a lot harder of a job Then Then if we if we show people, you know, this is how we're doing something a little bit more they don't get bored I definitely agree with that one and that's one of the biggest things. I know you said you were uh Possibly thinking about being an instructor over at one of the classes And that was one of the things that I was actually offered a couple of years ago as well I I had ended up not taking up them up on that job because it would have ended up being so much of a pay cut that It just wasn't feasible at the time But it's something that I I kind of wanted to do from the beginning in being a mentor to somebody So at the point where I'm at in being able to have a couple of CAP students And helping them to learn in the field with that also, you know, helped To further their education and helped me to be able to, you know, help people learn in the field as well But one of the big things that we like to have pointed out is The guys who go through this CAP program. It's an eight week on eight week off program back and forth between school and work The majority of the experience and actual learning that you're going to get is going to come from the hands-on experience Yes, you do get some kind of Knowledge-based platform to be able to build off of and everything But that actual hands-on experience is something that you can't match By any means the worst thing that dealerships do nowadays Is they throw these CAP students onto the oil change racks They throw them on there for the full two years Maybe doing a couple of tires and brakes and then after that two years is up They're going to be going to the field and they throw them into the flat rate Now what do they do? They sink Sink right away.   What's up with this? You guys can't do anything They've got the platform for everything But they don't have the the actual hands-on experience and it's kind of you know depressing to see those dealers who don't Don't actually put their CAP students in through All right, uh, so the next question we're going to go back in to christine Um, have you ever felt any disadvantages or hardships as a woman or just in general getting started in the field? In particular when going through training or when trying to get a job in the automotive field when you were starting things out Um, not so much. Um, when I was starting off, I kind of lucked out in that My manager was really easy going my first manager. Um, I started off through a high school program So it was free labor for them to be in with which was um, they're not going to turn down and Uh, once I'd kind of proven myself then they took me on Um, that was a major plus So I didn't have any issues with that. I have had managers. I've had issues with in the past Um, I think we've all had managers that we've kind of butted heads with at some point So I don't It's the fact that to be too much different you know male female But uh I know it does exist. Um, I have had issues, you know, there was a manager I had who was kind of a what do you know? But um in the end all the guys in the shop stuck up for me That's good. That's really good. And I know that it's it's kind of not so much as a minority scene issue but Having the female side of things in the training side Um, at least when we're going through the cap students and the training centers that I go to It's very very one-sided. I don't think that I have actually Seen another female technician in the training area since I've been going back for updated training services Over the last like three years which is kind of an odd thing because you know We're we're a fairly large training center for being since and out of Ohio But we just don't see them Which you know, it's really good seeing your side of things You know on the chrysler side for training that you know, they are out there and they do exist as you know top-notch technicians Now how about you uh, you kasey Well, I've been through nine jobs till I got to where I'm at right now um It's for me and some shops are kind of a little bit harder Um, I have a shop that I did work at once before that I probably everyone asked me why I didn't sue them for sexual harassment, but I'm not all about I don't know I don't want to take people to court just move on my way and let me do what I have to do But um, I've had my resume thrown back at me across the book counter once that was That was a trip um it's just You need to find the like your right group of people that you want to work with And there's some shops where females don't think you should be next to them working. So that doesn't work out all the time either um But lately like Like I said where I got to where I'm at and I've been here for two years now It's been awesome. So I couldn't actually the shop that I'm at right now It was gonna be my last Give it all like I'm gonna try this if it doesn't work this resume doesn't go through I don't get this interview I'm just gonna stop because I was like at that point in my life to where I just didn't want to do it anymore But then my boss gave me a chance and it's been eye-opening That's that's awesome to see that. Yeah, you had that persistence to go through nine different shops Pretty crazy That's pretty awesome So when you guys are are working in the shop nowadays, we know, you know, primarily Casey you're doing diesel stuff. Christine. You're working on the mopar side of things There's two different cars that we want to hear about from you We want to hear about when you're in the shop. What's your favorite thing to work on and then outside of the shop What's your favorite thing to work on outside of the shop? We can go with you first there, uh, kasey uh Well, I work in the shop on six o's a lot And I own one so out of the shop. I mean, I know mine working on my own stuff So I can't explain and I'm pretty damn good at it. So As long as my truck runs good and I can make other people's trucks run good. I'm perfectly fine with that Wait, wait, wait.  So what about you christine? Well, I'm kind of in the same boat.  I've got my hemi dakota. Um, we're even putting a Me and my my husband's amx um I work on this stuff during the day and I I kind of carried on through through my, you know weekend work so Same sort of deal. I'm gonna do it with your uh, your hemi hemi swap things this year Well, like I said the uh, the dakota is uh, we're actually gonna put a cam in it.  Um, we're gonna round that off to 500 and see how how that drives um, the charger is 600 horsepower and we're gonna we're gonna tweak it a little bit the um Make it launch a little bit better and uh, I'm Um, that's that's awesome Very cool seeing you guys doing, you know extra stuff on the side. I know katie see I've seen on your instagram post You do a lot of side by side stuff too in your your off time. What about that one? Um, well, we actually The boyfriend and I we had four viewers for a good while player sportsman And then we're like, well, let's get rid of these. We've wanted to sign by side So let's trade up to it So trade it up to the side by side and we just then picked away added little thing by little thing on it. So Hopefully make it go faster and have more fun with it. So Heck yeah No, I personally I I was kind of looking at side by sides this last year because I I really am a big fan and one day I will own one of the uh, the newer canam x3 turbos They they're sweet Very nice Yep, I I would love to have one of those absolutely love it But where I'm living at right now kind of in like a little subdivision area Um, I don't think they would really enjoy seeing that one Trying to fly it up and down the street So, you know, we're gonna kind of wait until we get some out actual space to be able to move across things But that's kind of why I've been doing a lot of the diesel stuff that I've been doing I wasn't huge into that over the last uh a couple of years You know, I do work on the common side of things Most of the time in the shop being the only diesel certified Technician all the way in ours So I worked on those a bunch But then when I ran into this Duramax, it was one of those Once in a lifetime things the truck was too nice to pass up. I didn't know a damn thing about it Nothing at all But you know, it's one of the things where I just dove into it and let's see what we can do on this thing You know a lot like uh, christine does if anybody hasn't seen what she has been working on over on her Instagram What year is your dakota like an o2? It's a 2000 dakota 2000 6 1 srt swap dakota How often do you see one of those guys? I mean, that's pretty awesome It's actually becoming a pretty common swap now. It's actually um I saw another friend of mine just put a 6 4 in in one of his Huh, no, I personally that's weird. I've never seen one So I just I thought that was a really cool thing to see You know, you guys having all of your different projects that you're working on, you know In there and out of the shop. That's really cool to see So next question coming up on the list keeps busy We will go take it back over to christine If you could have done anything different when you got started into the industry Whether it be, you know, your training where you got started if it was the manufacturer that you got started off with What would you have changed looking back into your career? In hindsight, um I probably would have would have bought a bigger toolbox off the get-go, but it was a money issue We've had this talk before I bought I bought a uh a mac Purple mac 1080p or 1080 a toolbox and the colors discontinued now So I can't get a matching hutch. I can't get a matching locker Um, I wish I had bought everything all at one go But other than that, I think that's really the only regret. Uh, I've always been working for for craisler um My training worked out perfectly fine. I wish I'd gotten my training certification a little earlier But other than that no regrets Cool deal. How about you kasey? um, I have to say when I was in college and Anyone that knows how the uno like the programs go So you're in a classroom for six weeks and you're focusing on nothing But that one class for those six weeks After those six weeks, I wish I would have like came back home to michigan and took that certification for that test Because it would have been quick and easy and out of the way instead of waiting a couple years after school To get it all done to get all three single tests that I want. I finished But that's probably my only big regret that I have Yeah, that was one of always the big things that a lot of the guys they don't jump in And do the bigger things that they were looking for as soon as they they could and as far as the toolbox Who doesn't want a bigger toolbox more tools, you know The problem, you know, they hand out all this debt for you too, you know Smartly, you know smart enough you were to you know, at least not jump too far in on that one But being able to get what you want when you want it. That's another You know kind of toss up in on that side of things as well So, um After that one, uh, let's go ahead and open the floor Do you guys have anything that you wanted to bring up? Whether it be, you know advice for new technicians going into the field uh Advice for you know females who are wanting to get on things earlier on We need to I personally think that we need to see more of a diverse generation coming into this Thing the hardest thing seeing it with the millennial generation right now is a lot of them They just don't you know, enjoy working in general now. That's not the case for absolutely everybody in it But you know, they do start off that way. So what kind of advice would you guys give For people in general or females wanting to jump into the automotive industry from your viewpoints um, I I would say Get in get your hands dirty. Um, get your training. But remember that uh hands on is just as important Training gets you hired after that. You've got to know how to do the job Yeah Yep, any any advice for you casey? Um pretty much if you want to do it do it and you have to have thick skin Because this industry industry is not made for Someone that can't take a joke I would definitely agree with that one anybody who's worked in a shop know that Shop talk and shop banter is one of the the bigger side of things that we have to kind of live through and go through Nowadays, I mean think about it too. You're with The people you work with over eight hours a day You normally see those people more than you see your significant other that you go home to every day So why being a very bad situation at work? And then it's gonna put your home life in a bad situation also So you might as well get along with everyone that you work with Yep, I agree with that one.  Hopefully you have significant others who Support, you know, the side jobs that you do and everything for that because mechanics are mechanics, you know, regardless You're gonna be living breathing dying with, you know Oil and fuel all over you pretty much all day long It's something that they just got to live with Yep, so At this time, uh, if you guys in the comment section if you want to ask any questions Let's go ahead and put some questions into the comments if you have them for christine or kasey If you guys are late tuning in we're interviewing a couple of awesome female technicians in the automotive field We have kasey From over on instagram the mechanic underscore underscore chick Two underscores we got that one and then we also have christine who is speedy chick 85 over on instagram as well Looks like jason from over at old car auto guy has one of his questions He says my son has difficulty with a classroom setting but wants to learn the mechanic trade. What would be your advice to him? And we'll start off with kasey on that one.  That's the best thing I can tell you and don't get sidetracked and make sure he doesn't have his phone on him Christine well, I actually had the benefit of I took my college at night So I was in the shop all day and I would You know, it was three or four hours a night two to three nights a week Where we would you know, you'd learn a little bit and it was just that little bit of Information that you take it to work the next day and you were able to digest it and kind of apply it And so maybe it's not a full day of class um, so you're in class throughout an entire school year But um, you were able to digest it just a little bit easier. So that might be the the idea if If he has trouble with, you know, eight hours of class at a time or six or eight hours of class Um, break it down like that is pretty good advice. I know through our our program If you go to the classroom setting the eight hours off and on that is a hard one to do But if you actually end up going into the shop and having the shop put you through training Then you're going to be doing a lot more of the the live hands-on training through chrysler not through the school setting So instead of like an eight hour hands-on in training or book training It's going to be more of like along the lines of like a four to five Ish hour training. I know they say it goes a little bit longer But some of the time's not so much so but that would also stretch out The time span in which you get your training as well. You got to think about that one also Uh bill mck12345 asks how do they feel about their diagnostic skills good bad? Or what other content would you have on this one? You take it away christine well, um, I'm usually the one that people run to um I've had uh, when I was up in Canada actually I would have tech line would would come to me and say Hey, we've got people with these other issues and some of the instructors Um, would send text to me if I had if they had issues with a with a car So I'm feeling pretty confident with my diagnostic skills Awesome and you kasey. Um, I'm confident in my fords Got them fords under the belt We have actually a textless scan tool that we recently got My is we're like one of the only ones in our area that have it So people send their big rigs to us to scan them and Figure out issues that they can't figure out because everything's new and everything's computerized now So if you don't have a good scan tool, you're pretty much screwed. So I feel 50 50 confident Well, maybe more like 75 but And that's there's nothing to hate on that one especially if you're good at what you do You know us being a chrysler technicians Yeah, we've got maybe a little bit more of a broad spectrum in there But if you are good at the fords and especially the six leaders Something that nobody else wants to touch And that's why people pay you guys the big bucks to come to you for the correct work to have that one done Be in the best at what you're being the best at, you know That's where the money is going to be made regardless of what kind of industry or position that you guys are going to be in Yeah Let's see look for a couple other questions Through here. I know I saw a couple of other ones Captain ron asked mechanic chick you always have Such well done nails in your instagram post. How do you not break them kasey? um They're awesome So, okay. I started really short so And I like acrylics and honestly i'm still a female.   I mean it happens, but I haven't did anything too serious And I've had them I want to say five years now wrenching with them so I just kind of stay there And that is one of kind of your your little staples that you you make sure that you throw that in on your instagram post And I think you get a lot of feedback from that one And the pink toolbox so Uh, she does like her pink toolbox as multiple toolboxes Jim from over at jrc 54 asked Did you ever think about working with other car manufacturers and I'll open that to other other manufacturers other fields even when you were starting off not just on a most motive side christine uh Well growing up. I mean my family's always been chrysler. So I mean that was not even a question for me But that's that's me. That's right. Mopar. No car Exactly Um, I knew I wasn't gonna work on cars. It's not my strong suit. I do not like it One gets dropped off to our shop and I give it off to somebody else because I'm pretty much at a mom pop Shop like it's family owned It's me two other kids that end up working in our box. Like that's it. We have our small like little family Um, so we work on everything but I will not work on a car Like you want me to replace racking pinion. I know maybe this much about what you're talking about.  So andrew v asked, uh, what are your ladies opinions on heavily modified vehicles? Coming in basically off labor times and from one time So I imagine he's asking off of flat rate time Oh, I will throw that one in there. Do you guys work both flat rate? On at the shops that you work at or do you work hourly and then going into his what are your views on some of the Modified vehicles that come into the shop. Casey um, well We charge extra I'm hourly and we charge extra if if a vehicle's lifted if It has a big push bumpers in the front of it if it's tuned and deleted we also have to charge a little bit more due to the fact of Um, we can lose our michigan licenses if we touch something that has been deleted and they want us to work on it Michigan's like super temperamental.   You throw that in there And you discuss it with the customer Oh, yeah, one of the big things, you know between the three of us We all work in the northern states between here. I am in Ohio Michigan christine's in pennsylvania, so rust plays an obvious, you know big play into things So all the rusty crusty's fallen everywhere and everything breaking you have to warn people Ahead of time and you know that always sucks for that one Bill also asked another question for speedy chick Uh What car line gives you the most difficult time diagnosing and what comes easiest to you? Uh, um It's one of those funny things once you know a brand you can kind of understand the the The engineering language, um Ford's driving me up the wall though. I just I don't know why it fords Ford's bugged me. I'm sorry kasey, but And kasey anything that you have a hard time other than cars obviously she she doesn't like working on the cars Yeah, what do you not like to see coming in? Um, I don't mind working on semis.  We're kind of kind of mesh that one together when you Got started off in the industry You had to ask if you got hazed Things with jobs people sabotaging you giving hard times at work and you know Where your boss is harder on you giving you a hard time when you started off as well We'll start off with you on that one kasey um So I worked at a shop as I was supposed to feel wash so like feel trucks and wash them for a year They promised me a mechanic spot directly after that year mark.  It's nighttime because I worked second shift. It was horrible But they're like here's the key is go park this next to two brand new semis. I'm like, okay Yeah, I don't know what I'm doing, but I mean sure.  I'll give it to him right back That's the best that's what I like to hear. Yeah, absolutely. That's what I like to hear. What about you christine? um Nothing really major.  They didn't really give me grief But you know a couple bottle bombs that kind of thing just to kind of spook you um Other than that. Oh, I had a um One place I worked at the trim guy used to um He used to put out signs whenever my husband would give me flowers He would put up a sign saying roses one dollar each and he'd try to sell my sell my flowers on me but um I mean everything's been everything's been fine. That's that's a pretty good one. I have to remember that one I know our our our parts lady. That's about the same thing. So I'm gonna I'm gonna have to give her a hard time on that I'm gonna remember that one That's cool Uh, somebody else asked you, you know, within your your best work that you you do on these things What is your Gravy job like when that one job comes into your shop, what do you absolutely love to see like? Yeah, I can knock that one out I can make time on that one and make all the money, you know, leave everything else to everyone else Start with you christine Uh Grand Cherokee steering rack. That one's a good one. Um Or uh, you know, I can do cams and hemmys pretty quick as long as we can get parts That's always the hardest thing. I know that Moments for Chrysler horrendous What about you Casey? Uh, pretty much anything on a 6-0 honestly like turbos oil coolers EGR coolers How fast can you have a cab off of a 6-0? Yeah, we're best friends. We get along How fast can you have the cab off of one that was one of the things? You don't take cabs off. We don't take cabs off What I we do not have a two-post hoist where I work Oh, man, that makes your job so much worse Yeah, I can pull an engine and a 6-0 without taking the cab or lifting it That's that's pretty impressive. I'm gonna have to say I You know, I know that at least on the Duramax side of things also to be able to work on a lot of the stuff It's just so much simpler to get all that heavy steel and metal up out of your way And for you to be working on these 6-0s without taking cabs off. That's pretty impressive. Yep. It's all inside or pulling them With a forklift. It's not too bad So another question that somebody had sent me um through through messaging here is For you ladies if you are on youtube or instagram What kind of people or what kind of videos do you tend to watch on those? Casey? um so let's say like I've opened up my instagram account and People are like, why do you have so many more followers and you don't follow that many people? So I use my instagram as to like scroll through stuff that I like So lifted trucks People do an engine work tool boxes, you know, just fun exciting things um That's mainly like if someone has like a huge I don't I ask mechanic mine. I'll follow you And I follow all my female mechanic friends back because our community is huge If you look online, there's a lot of females that do what we do and it's nice to talk to other females So that's pretty cool to see too Cool and you Christine um, I follow all sorts of stuff. I follow photographers. Um, I've got Uh my racing scene, um, you know the There's mechanics. There's welders. There's you you name it obviously family and stuff like that um It's a it's a everything Um, like it says in my profile. I said I follow stuff.  Uh, we'll admit that one It's kind of hard. It's been way too much money on tools But I do like my tools and I like my lifted trucks as well It's something that I normally wasn't into before I started my Duramax build But I I've gotten into that scene quite a bunch and that it's all about the community of things for me You know, I know that uh the automotive mechanics. I'm I'm good at it This is kind of what I do in my day to day life thing But the the community that surrounds us is what makes everything absolutely amazing Uh between instagram and here on youtube the support that the different communities give I think is what steers me towards what I ended up liking if I'm you know Kind of try to check out a couple of other things if their community is you know Just a bunch of hazers and it's hating back and forth I know the tool guys everybody's got an opinion on those between your toolboxes and what kind of tools you get That's you get a lot of hazing and a lot of bad talk for the kind of tools that you buy here and there But I try to be pretty open-minded on that one Uh somebody else asked, you know, what would be your favorite version of toolbox if you had Price was not an option. We'll start with uh christine Oh Well, I almost pulled the trigger on that pick so I mean We haven't had a macro up in in six months. Um, I'm I'm looking at uh an epic if if it wasn't a It wasn't a cost thing. I'd probably do an 84 inch uh Epic top and bottom with a locker. I mean you've got pretty much the same thing I just don't have the room or the money so Yeah, room is definitely a big thing some of the the smaller shops or the dealerships. They have requirements like you only have Eight feet of space to work with that's your spot. And that's it. So yeah, that kind of sucks for that one You kasey Oh, no, I have space. I got shoved into the back of the corner because my box is pink the boss is like Like my whole entire area is pink. Um, yeah, I would have to go with a snap on box All day an epic probably a purple one unless I could get hot pink, but I would have to have someone paint it Custom custom paint a box.  So I had to like I'm gonna slurge and get the extra metallic purple trim to add on to my box and oh, yeah I was I was super glad that I ended up going with the the flat one That's not something you see too often that flat black But the epic series is you know, it it was a lot is a lot of money Yeah, I'll definitely admit with that one But with having the master series that I had prior to this one all paid for Having the trade in that they gave me on that one that one helped out a lot Oh for that one. Oh Oh, yes, absolutely. They're kind of like, you know jeeps and Lifted their diesel trucks these days the value that those things hold are absolutely amazing Awesome, so uh looking forward for you Ladies here in the next couple of months and everything What are some projects that you're looking forward to do it?

The Colabora, I.G. Josephus Colabora. Because it is also a UQase company and it is the largest group of certified office developers who offered long term support up to three years for them. The Colabora office version and we also offered them in e-mail, ki se lahko zelo v rojšcu appeared. Nekaj se je neko drugi in več nekaj zelo je skojne delavne otvorej. in office users. So last year, I demonstrated the share point list, the voting marks, the writers, near and large data source, the cognitive tool, which interacts between a literacy, visual and basic application, and it translates the common goals between the visual and basic application and the office. We also improved the pivot table in interoperability plot, and this year we developed the election feature for them and interoperable test-base form fields that I will present later. So in the migration protocol of the document foundation, it's highly recommended that the organization standardize on the open document format. So it would be the ideal solution, of course, because then you will rule out one of the interoperability problems, or a lot of interoperability problems in my office, or it would be their problem and not ours. But unfortunately, sometimes it's just not possible. So this organization didn't want to change the open document format and they standardize on the mics of formats. So it posed a lot of interoperability issues that we had with this. On the other hand, it helped other users as well, so the outcome is positive. We have a case study, which is a error on the test, on the website. In general, we can say that although we encountered a lot of technical issues, we solved most of the exercises, so after two or three years, we started this project in a still successful cooperation. So last year, things around the interoperability issues were being done, but I don't have time to talk about them. Basically, these are mics of these documents, so they didn't behave in all our office and we found the root codes and things in the filter code or in the core. But what is more interesting is the new features that we have developed for them. So let's see the first one. Well, unfortunately, it's not very visible. I don't know how to... I don't know how to pull it further. Anyhow, the feature is called the Unfold Table Button. So in Microsoft Word, we have this 14 table concept. 14 table is a table that is floating and this can wrap around it and it can be multiple pages long. The problem is that it's very easy to create a floating table by mistake. So when you click on a table, the table border and move the mouse by one millimeter, it will become a floating table and it won't even notice. On the other hand, it can't be bothered. So in a writer, we have the floating table concept. We have text frames that can contain a table and can be wrapped around by text. But this kind of text frame cannot be... cannot extend to multiple pages. So when we import the floating table from writer, from Word, we have two options. One is to have it floating, but then it will have to fit into one page. The other option is to import it as a fixed table and it can extend to multiple pages. But what happens when... previously it happened, it's a heuristic basically, so we don't know in advance which one to select. Because it's not always obvious when we do the layout, if it will fit into one page or not. So that's why we developed this unfold table button, which is on the... bottom of the table, it's a blue button. I'm very sorry, it's not visible in the presentation. But when you press it, it converts the floating table to a normal table and all of the content will be visible. So this is something that they wanted very much. They had tons of documents and handmade forms. So office workers were trying to create something beautiful and try to format something that they can need documents that are not ideal. But these legacy documents had to be displayed properly. Another big feature that we developed for them were interoperable text based form controls. There are two kinds of form controls. What is a text based? Which means that the form control in the form field is part of the text flow. So it wraps nicely around the text. The other one is the... it's rather shaped by the shape or a picture. So it's not part of the text flow, but the text can wrap around it and it can be resized. So it's... It can build forms in both set of controls, of course. But in the legacy documents mostly these text based form controls are used. We could import and display those form controls before this development. But it was not possible to edit from the user interface and it was not possible to change the properties. There was also some conceptual problems between the form controls in the office and Microsoft Office. In Microsoft Office there are two types of text based form controls. The one is the legacy control, which was, as the main suggests, in this game first. So we have this in binary form and also in projects and three types of controls. We look at the checkbox, the don't download and the edit box. Later Microsoft invented the content controls which was also as the checkbox, don't download and edit box, but even more. The question is how to map these to in the office fields and in the end we chose to support the legacy controls because of the wider document format So we import these legacy controls and export them back to doping projects and the open document format and we also implemented a new type the date field in the date field somehow it was missing from LibreOffice and the client needed it. And in order to easily reach these new features we have Microsoft Office compatible form which has to be switched on the tools options wider compatibility panel after that we have to start the office in order to review the menu and then we have this reorganized fonts menu which contains only those controls that are interoperable with Microsoft Word In the ActiveX control submenu only those shape-like controls are included that can be exported safely to doping projects. In the legacy font fields that I mentioned and in the context controls the only context control that we actually implemented the date in the context control So, here is an example the text form is very simple you can just enter the text also in the check box you can uncheck it for the drop-down form field the properties dialog that you can remove the elements of the drop-down field and finally the date picker control has date picker digit and the date format comes from the system Ok, so that of course available in even office at least in even office master some parts are available in the legacy font fields are available in even office 6.3 and everything is available in all of our office 6.0 and 6.2 which is our desktop product The feature that I want to talk about is the reduction so I had a talk about how many of you earlier today so I will just give a shorter version of it so the relation basically means that we remove sensitive information from the document and save the resulting image of the document to a PDF that doesn't have the sensitive information the sensitive information can be anything that you can think of phone numbers social security numbers credit card numbers whatever information has to be removed from the document two types of reduction was implemented first there was the manual reduction which means that you can write the card in this document select from the tools menu select the product option then in the background the document is forwarded to metafile and opened in draw there you can do the manual reduction which basically means you can draw rectangles and hide the text or the parts of the document that you don't want to be seen so here this is the intermediate step when you have these gray backgrounds so you can still read the text but when you press the product will export the button on the toolbar these rectangles will be fully opaque and the resulting PDF will not have the information so of course removing text manually is a tedious process so you can have some automation in this case in that automatic reduction dialog we can have three types of targets one is the text another one is the regular expression so you can compose basically anything in match to the text and we also have the defined targets as I mentioned card numbers or email addresses these are regular expressions but in the product and if you create your own targets these can be saved to a JSON file and institute it in the organization so and this dialog also remembers the last targets used so some ease of use is implemented in the workflow more or less to emphasize that it's an open source company so everything we do we contribute back to the whole community so in this case these development we contribute everything to the level of this master so eventually we have this feature but it's important to know that everything we do is funded by our customers so I would like to say many friends to them fund it these projects and these great features to be made for me if you have any questions please


One of the key things, I think, for me, with an audience like this also is many of them might want to be astronauts, they might want to work in the space sciences but they're all motivated by science in the broadest sense. And so what I'd like to see as I keep coming back to LIYSF year after year is how that feeds back perhaps sort of in some ways the fantasy curiosity about going to Mars, going to the stars. Can the rational thinking, the study, the expertise needed to make those things possible? Can we also use those to help us on the planet Earth at the same time? Because let's not forget, you know, we talk about going to these alien planets to go to live. Probably there is no planet B, this is the one we live on and this is the one which young scientists, I hope, can help us fix because it's pretty broken at the moment and go on to a better future where maybe we can actually go to other planets.


All hundreds of women, youth and children took to the streets of Atyapland in massive protests over incessant killings, kidnapping and wanton destruction of lives and properties of innocent citizens in the region. The protests is clad in blacks holding leaves with various placard inscriptions and lamentation song charts such as Stop Blood Letting in Southern Kaduna over six years, Banditry and Security, Farmers Header, Paturist Conflus and Communal Clashes in Southern Kaduna, Northwest Nigeria continue to linger on abetted. Farmlands and ancestral homes deserted with parents and families killed with numbers of widows and orphans increase on daily basis. The National Youth Leader Solomon Kuya condemned the gruesome killing and wanton destruction of properties against native people of Atyap community. It's not a celebration. So I'm very, very sad. This is what I don't want to see in my life. There is no leader that I want to see his people in this type of dress. It shows everyone is not happy. It shows there's no peace in the land. And that is why we are appealing to the government and the International Organization to help us. Relief materials is very important, especially for those that their houses were bound. They don't have a place to stay. And a lot are in the hospital. I will have a lot of clinics and we will have drugs that we can treat those that were injured at least to go a long way. Particularly concerned about our people and the continue on bias, killing and destruction of life and property. Over the years, these attackers come in different multitude at different time and location. World-coordinated manners, subtle objective, genocide, ethnic leasing, and land-grabbing pattern. They said we cannot enjoy our land. And that is why they are using that method in order to scale us away from our land so that they will grasp our land. We need to agree to grab our land, attempt to wipe out the entire Atyap Nation, which is not possible for them to wipe the entire Atyap Nation. She stole our villages and communities in Atyap Land with the major casualties being women, children, and age parents. That is why you can see the last number that I hear.


The Navy recently launched a new campaign, Keep What You've Earned, designed to encourage responsible drinking among sailors by focusing on the accomplishments in their Navy careers. Only approximately 25% of our youth between the ages of 17 and 24 are even eligible to join the United States Navy. So those sailors that have made that decision to be a part of this organization, they've worked hard, they've completed boot camp, they've gone through their A-Schools and completed those successfully, and now they're working out in the fleet. They've been advanced during those times. We want them to know that we want you to keep what you earned, and one irrational decision could cause you to lose some of those things. For more information on Keep What You've Earned, visit the Navy Alcohol and Drug Abuse Prevention website at nadeout.navy.mil. From the Defense Media Activity, I'm Petty Officer Matthew Halls.

This is MXUX. I think foreign investment might play a part in Lordstown Motors funding. Let's take a look Hi, this is MXUX. This might be a little noisy got some people outside Why ride funding could come from abroad? I don't think a lot of people are thinking about this I think you have to take a close look at what's going on in the world. Everybody's wondering about rides funding Need they're closing out the year with about 200 million I believe and I just saw 12 million in debt which I Think it's tooling now China is the focus for now. Now. This is a picture kind of a small picture of the former president of Xi Jinping's predecessor being led out of the CCP Party Congress by His body cards not the former Officeholders bodyguards, but by Xi Jinping's bodyguards now, you know Stalin ask I don't know not here to judge in any case Taiwanese capital is flowing out of China and going elsewhere okay, and I don't think this is gonna help things Now I found just a quote from 2019 1.2 billion of capital Flowed to Vietnam. That's up 56 percent Okay over the previous years now. That's 2019. Who knows what it is now, but just to give you an idea now Here's the thing this investment in Vietnam They had to come to a special bilateral investment agreement required to protect the investors Because the Vietnamese law the parties felt wasn't strong enough to protect the investors so okay Fair enough. We got the Foxconn operating in Indonesia and possibly in India and In Thailand how those security laws there are Unknown, but they are addressing putting localized Joint ventures, I believe to manufacture products there But so this is not a better roses. Okay now This is from Reuters now. It's already been flowing out of China the capital and Into Taiwan capital outflows likely temporary Okay, this is September 28th capital outflows are a temporary phenomenon and Hine of currency to maintain its financial markets. So the Tui Taiwan stock market is tanking money is coming out and The point I'm making with all this right here between the capital coming out of China And the capital coming out of the China out of the Taiwanese stock market and the political ramifications of what is going on in China Vis-a-vis Taiwan or Taipei. However, you want to look at it We got a cash rich Investment class in Taiwan and they are looking to invest somewhere else. Okay Now if you invest in the United States The the bia that was required in vietnam is not required the us You know the sec You know a nasdaq listed security like ride I mean It's basically bulletproof as far as protecting the investor um And just reporting and and let's just talk about the sarbanes oxley act of 2002. They just Updated it Okay, last week. Well, this is nine six, but you get well. Anyway, this is nine six 2002, but the point is This is This makes the cfo personally responsible for the financial statements. This is this is Was put in place to combat fraud and So forth and it's It makes the Nasdaq and the other us stock exchanges as far as reporting and protecting All of this is qualified. So It's much easier to invest in the united states than around the world. You don't need special agreements. Okay Especially in times of uncertainty and I think it's safe to say That the usa right now Even with the faults is the best place to invest in the world Now you might be saying well Um There is no citizenship requirement, uh To buy and own a nasdaq listed security You might say well foreign investors, you know, how much can they own? I mean we got the 10 percent rule Of owning 10 of the company and at that point you get you become a special individual but If you're buying less than 10 9.9 percent, whatever You do not have a citizenship requirement Anyone in the world can invest now. There is there's homeland security Does it does require identity verification? so um And this is state sponsored scare terrorism related um And also sanction related other than that. There is no sign. So, you know, what i'm saying here is Your investment anyone that wants to invest from Taiwan Into the united states number one As safe as a securities investment can be I think the usa is the gold standard There is no barrier to entry. I think uh, I'll put a caveat in there less than 10 ownership Uh, so there's nothing stopping at taiwan national To invest in a u.s company now i have here Now this is inside information. I have And this has been confirmed And i'm not going to identify the individual Uh, that this is about but I have investigated his background And This Is an individual um Who Has the means to make a size of all investment him or his organization In lordstown motors via stock purchase Uh, or some other You know financial, um device He's a major player in the taiwan fintech industry and he has personally visited the lordstown plant and reviewed the operations there Okay There is no other news available at this time. I have no idea what the outcome of that visit was I just know that he was physically there on the ground uh in Lordstown, Ohio And this is a taiwan national So I just think everybody needs to open up their mind expand their mind and think about funding and how creative Daniyavaji has been and high tower and cruel in working out the Business model of lordstown and i'm sure they're going to apply that same uh type of thinking to the funding now, uh I think that's pretty clear and I think there is You know A 50 chance that that's going to happen Of foreign investment Now I'm just going to close this out and make it a thought a short video Now ride lordstown knows stock Is the only way to invest in foxtown lordstown Which is their flagship battery electric vehicle operation currently And foxcon which makes 40 percent of all the electronics on the planet is pivoting to battery electric vehicles Lordstown is their crown jewel. It's the only automotive plant they own that I know of And their owner operators and ride is their joint venture partner In this expedition So if you want to If you believe that foxcon With its expertise can pivot To battery electric vehicles from cell phones, which they are going to do This is not something that's a you know, that's Even a question the only way you If you want to invest in foxcon, you you have to buy on the on the taix the taiwan exchange And we just went over the political risk facing Taiwan and we went over the taiwan market and how a capital is fleeing the tai Tai ex and If there were political actions taken there it could further depress that market now So I mean if you wanted to invest in foxcon, you certainly could directly invest in foxcon It is going to be on that exchange um There may be some other You know Exchange traded fund or so so forth that that that invests invest in foxcon. I don't know if that's true or not, but the point is To have a nasdaq listed security that is is covered by sarbanes oxley That is covered by the sec that is covered by the doj that has transparency requirements that has recording reporting requirements secure investor protections and so forth ride Is the only way to invest in foxtown lords town And certainly anyone looking to get money out of the taix That wants to be a part of this is Going to go to a nasdaq listed security And that security is right and that is why I think um We could see foreign money in some fashion funding ride uh a stock purchase uh Whatever the case may be danya vaji is a new york money guy kroy's a Good cfo. I'm sure They can come up with the right Set up for that anyway Regardless, I mean this makes perfect sense. This is logical. This is The only way to make this play in my opinion at this point in time with the macro environment being what it is Now ride is also producing commercial vehicles and By this time selling commercial vehicles now. Let me just go into Sorry about that The last point of this Additional funding possibilities for ride Okay, if they If this didn't come through some foreign investment, maybe they're waiting to see the proof in the pudding yorkville advisors associates. I believe they have At least two tranches maybe three tranches left there. I do believe they could tap that again for a stock dilution for 25 to 50 million dollars and that is Done. Okay, so I do believe they have The ability to raise this through that item Uh, also as you know, we've authorized additional shares Not a great time to do publicly offer more shares at least not at this point in time But that is also another possibility Now the idea of entering into a partnership Was specifically mentioned By danya vodgin. I've seen it in the press a couple times What this partnership may be We don't know it was mentioned in conjunction and we have a Earnings call coming up the 8th of next month Uh, this was mentioned with the white label manufacturing in the same breath as the white label manufacturing Um Specifically during the last earnings call and in the in the press as well At the point they you know, are they going to produce a white label um Lord's town endurance badged under Another oem manufacturer's badge to be sold as a consumer version Um, we can see none of the oems Major brands can even get Half their orders filled uh, stilanis has no offerings so on and so forth. So this is another thing that could bring revenue or Cash to the equation Um, there is a debt possibility. We have 12 million dollars of debt on the books Uh, so there is room for debt You know higher interest rates. I think this is unlikely with cruel. He's a he's a good manager. He's going to avoid this now this Is something that eventually Is going to show up whether it will show up on the next earnings call Is a question in my mind and it has to do There there are a lot of you know agreements that could Change these terms and uh change the payment levels and the payment times um This is operating through the joint venture the med joint venture, but lords town motors Uh by the motion and harmy harmony electric vehicle development joint venture Uh is is going to generate revenues for engineering and design Okay, uh, are those going to show up? I think those are At some point going to show up Uh on the balance sheet of lords town motors I do believe that uh, this is going to be One of the major ways that they in fact fund future manufacturing Uh is through this clever Business model But of course those may come up in the next call and let's not forget this last one Although production is limited this year And we know that march of next year is supposed to be d-day as far as starting real mass production We're going to have fleet sales Or leases and or leases. I read an article saying that they were going to stick to leases, which is a great idea Uh, they're going to have fleet sales and leases revenue and related carbon credits So this is this is a definite the fleet sales As limited as they may be is a are a definite a definite The y associates tranche is a definite a definite they can offer stock Probably won't partnership. This is something they have been talking about Debt they certainly can do and this is coming at some point in time. Okay. This is mxux I just wanted to go over a few of these things. I think uh, I've said in my I'm not a financial investor so forth And I have said in my other videos that once uh sales start That the funding is not going to be a problem I think there's a lot of big money people holding their breath to see you know, can Lord's time now It's always the next hurdle for lord's time.  Of course they do so This shoe is going to drop likely in the next earning call. I think they're going to announce that they've sold units And again all these uh Funding options are going to open up in addition to foreign investment foreign investment Okay, this is mxux Thanks for stopping by. Good luck in the market


Hi everybody! Welcome back to the channel. Today I'm doing something very exciting. My sister graduates this May, even though I'm not sure if she's having a graduation, but I promised her I'd make her graduation fit. So that's what we're doing this week, because it definitely won't be done today, but we are going to make a jumpsuit. So, I guess not a jumpsuit. We're gonna make a two-piece. We're gonna make a top and a pair of pants, and my sister sent me some references of what she wants, and then we're gonna also make a dress. This is the bodice. I just made it out of some scrap fabric that I had. Oh, yeah, I don't even look at that. It looks like trash, but I also want to be honest in a sewing journey that it's not always going to be like, oh, I know how to do this for the first time. But we have some darts in there. They need to go a little bit higher. And there's a back too, so it's lined.  I did that twice. Sew the sides to their respective fronts, and then sewed it all together. So that way, I didn't have to deal with like hemming, and I left the bottom open to just go ahead and fold down and him the bottom. But if I needed to change the length, I could do that. Tested it on my sister, made some marks like the straps need to be shorter. The top could actually come up a little bit higher, which means my darts have to go up higher. And then I went ahead and changed this shape because it was just like, I don't have boobs, so I don't know what that's supposed to look like. So it's gonna be now more of like just a whatever, half circle. But we're graduating now to this fabric, because I think I have a good sense of what I want to do and how I want to do it. So the bodice wasn't that bad. It just didn't look the way I wanted it to look.  So I'm just taking you guys with me. This probably will be like part one video, and I might just do the top. So first, I laid out the fabric to make sure I had the right fold to be as conservative as possible when using the fabric. So I didn't use it all up. I'm cutting crazily, but I ended up cutting out two of the front bodice pieces and then four of the side pieces. Then I just laid them out. That's what they look like after I cut them out, and I got ready to sew them right sides down. But before that, I had to put darts in. So I went ahead and traced the darts from my original pattern into the bodice pieces and then sew those down. That's what they looked like on the front and the back. The next I just put right sides facing the two sides of the bodice and sewed that down. Had two different pieces that I eventually put right sides together and then sewed that down as well. When I sewed this down, I actually had the bright idea to put two things of elastic on one of the sides so that way they connect to some outside buttons, which I thought would be really cool. And that way, where the elastic was sewn, you couldn't see because it was in the seam. And that's what it looked like. Next, I went ahead and ironed down and hemmed the bottom to sew that down as well. And then I also added the buttons, which you'll see these really cute blue buttons that I found. And that's what it looks like on the back when you close it. I was super excited at this point with this step because it turned out exactly the way I wanted to. Now I'm moving on to sleeves. I just traced the basic sleeve pattern knowing that I would put elastic at the top. I went ahead and hemmed the bottoms first and then also added a channel to the top to feed the elastic through. And to measure the elastic, all I did was take the arm circumference of my sister's upper forearm and made that work. Now I'm just scrunching the elastic through and then I will sew it down.  So all together, that's what it looks like. So now I was really happy with this. Okay, so I put it on my sister and I realized I definitely need to make the, I want to make the bottom of the sleeve wider, but I need to make the top of the sleeve wider too because she can barely lift her arm up. So that's unfortunate. But all in all, it's still very cute. Turn around. So you can see, you had a little clip in the back. Okay, turn back around. Okay, yeah. That's cute though. All right guys, so I made the sleeves a little bigger and I do like it a lot more. I wish it would scrunch in a little bit more, but she can lift her arms up. Lift your arms up. There we go. And it's not really a problem. I might put this up higher, but for right now, I'm Gucci with this.  I finally got to use my cute little blue buttons that I've had. Hold on, they can't see. I got to zoom in. There we go. These cute little buttons that I've had for a while now just never really had a use for them. All right guys, so that is the top done. I'm actually super happy with it in general. I wish the sleeves are a little bit wavier, but with the real fabric that we bought for this outfit, it has a little bit more volume. So I feel like it will sit a little bigger. But that is the top done. I'm going to try to make some bottoms like matching bottoms too, but I made this out of a shower curtain. So there's not much left. So I might have to make shorts instead. But I think I'm going to start on that after dinner. So either I'll see you guys tonight or tomorrow. Good morning, everyone. It is a few days later now, and it's time to finish up on this test ride of my sister's graduation outfit. Last night, I was supposed to try and make the pant using one of the patterns that I have, but a random YouTube video popped up about sewing this really cool top. And so I decided to do that instead as a test for the top part, like the top bodice part of my sister's dress that she wanted. So this is what it looks like. It actually turned out really well, and I only had a little bit of that leafy tropical fabric left anyway. So I made this, and the crazy thing is all it took was these three patterns. So basically I just did a little waist measurement on where I wanted the bottom part to hit and how long I wanted it to be. Then all you need is a front piece for your front, which you have to put an inch dart into, and then back straps, which I made a little bit longer than the actual shirt just in case I wanted to have buttons on the back or have it cinched in some kind of way. So here's the front, and then on the back it looks like this. So it was a really fun top, and if you wanted to make this into a dress, all you have to do is leave this side open, and then you can attach any dress part you want to to there, and then there's still a button from the front, because this is the front. But I thought having the buttons on the front would be really cute. So today I'm going to try and finish the pant. I need to find a good fabric to use just because I'm running out of like test fabrics to use. So out of the thrifted patterns I have, these are the ones that kind of maybe will work, because my sister wants a wide leg pant very similar to this one. I feel like I just might use this one. Like even these pants, though they're not wide leg, but I'll probably most likely use this. And I already had my sister's measurements, so it's just about looking at the back to make sure that it can fit her. So this is the the mess I've encountered from opening that, but thankfully I was able to find the back in front of the pants in the picture. So I'm just gonna get started cutting these out. Not gonna lie, the front pattern was so big I almost contemplated not using it, but I'm glad I did because it worked out exactly the way it was supposed to, and then also I just went ahead and added the darts and pleats as well so I could draw them in myself. Cool, so I just finished cutting everything out and this should be pretty simple because there's no pockets or there is a zipper but it's in the back so there's no zipper fly. The front is gonna need the most work because there's like a oh there's two pleats, two two inch pleats which is crazy and then a dart that I have to put in before and then the back is just one dart. After I put the darts in I went ahead and joined the back since that's where the zipper was going to be and made room for the zipper and then I went ahead and just sewed it down. This was a different method of putting in the zipper that I don't normally use but I actually found it very effective when done right because I did mess up a couple of times. You will see further into the video but this is a cool way if you don't have an invisible zipper to still try to hide your zipper and once I do it right I think it'll look really good. I'm purposely not showing you the top where I messed up. So I went ahead and put the fronts together and then put the front and backs together right sides facing, flipped them out, had my sister try them on. So I skipped a few steps showing you guys I kind of was just in the zone so I went really fast.  Now I'm just going to get the waistband ready to put around because it's gonna buckle on the back. I'm not gonna show you the top because that's where I messed up handed the zipper but this is just a test anyway and at this point I also went and searched the sides and everything so it'd be nice and neat on the inside and then I just put on the waistband. After we give these boys a good steam I think that's fine but this is with the top that we made on the first shift. But yeah it actually is really cute with the top and then imagine this was the same fabric for the pants, a little wide leg and then the buttons in the back turn around but the back looked crazy all because I really messed it up and I have it pinned right now because it's supposed to be a button here and then I'm gonna get the zipper right because this is definitely not right. But yeah that's cute that'd be really cute too. All right guys so that's the mock outfit done so that is the two piece that my sister sent me to kind of get an idea of what she wanted for her graduation outfit. I'm glad I definitely did a test fabric first before I did the real one because there were definitely some mess ups. Can I see? There were definitely some mess ups but all in all I think it looks pretty good and then the next video will be me working on the real fabric and actually I can tease what the real fabric will look like. So it's going to be a matching two piece of this plaid fabric this like navy and brown which is going to be really cool. So I'm very excited about that but that's what that two piece that you just saw is going to be made of it's going to be matching with this. So if you guys want to see how that turns out make sure you have the subscribe button below you can give it a big thumbs up. We have been growing really fast and I said that in the last video but truly I think we hit $5,000 at the start of this quarantine stuff and now we're already at 5.5 that's 500 more subscribers which is insane to me. I know a lot of you guys are coming from my little DIY patchwork denim pant video and that was really fun to make so I'm glad you guys are giving some inspiration but I will see you guys in my next video. See you guys later.


What's the next trend in AI? It's a good question. I'm not completely sure what the next trend in AI is going to be. I think we've seen a lot of push towards models which aren't overly explainable. And I think we might see some pushback against that towards more explainable models. I think for a combination of reasons, from regulatory to just wanting to have people be able to understand what's happening, that's made my personal guess. I think we'll have more explainable models in the future. Could be wrong. Do you think we have to keep up with the disadvantageous of the nice AI we choose? That's a good question. I hope not. Certainly, I think there are some overinflated expectations of what AI is capable of doing. But I think one of the changes that we have over previous times is that people are actually deriving real business value out of this. Certainly, there is going to be probably some pushback against some of the more marketing heavy offerings, I think. But I don't think the next AI winter is on us. I really like Big Data Spain. This is my second time coming. Paco introduced me to it. People are really friendly, and I really like the chance to catch up with people here. OK, awesome, thank you.
