00:00:00,719 --> 00:00:03,620
Mike Dell's World number four one five

2
00:00:04,160 --> 00:00:05,219
for Monday,

3
00:00:05,599 --> 00:00:08,259
11/09/2025.

4
00:00:11,679 --> 00:00:13,219
When I was a young boy,

5
00:00:13,759 --> 00:00:15,365
there wasn't any Internet.

6
00:00:16,225 --> 00:00:18,644
There wasn't any World Wide Web.

7
00:00:20,785 --> 00:00:21,765
There wasn't any

8
00:00:22,065 --> 00:00:24,545
egghead sending you texts saying those are the

9
00:00:24,545 --> 00:00:26,304
same thing. You don't have to say Internet

10
00:00:26,304 --> 00:00:27,719
and World Wide Web. They're the

11
00:00:29,719 --> 00:00:32,200
same thing. There weren't any video games when

12
00:00:32,200 --> 00:00:33,100
I was a boy.

13
00:00:34,039 --> 00:00:35,420
Well, there was Pac Man.

14
00:00:35,879 --> 00:00:37,259
That was a game, I guess.

15
00:00:38,199 --> 00:00:39,100
And Asteroids.

16
00:00:40,280 --> 00:00:41,420
Wizard of War.

17
00:00:42,575 --> 00:00:44,695
Scrambled. Defender was a hell of a lot

18
00:00:44,695 --> 00:00:45,315
of fun.

19
00:00:46,015 --> 00:00:47,554
Those were what we called

20
00:00:48,094 --> 00:00:48,995
video games.

21
00:00:50,015 --> 00:00:51,954
Did I say we didn't have video games?

22
00:00:52,335 --> 00:00:53,795
Because that would have been a mistake.

23
00:00:54,920 --> 00:00:57,179
But there is one thing you have now

24
00:00:57,479 --> 00:00:59,640
that we didn't have when I was a

25
00:00:59,640 --> 00:01:01,500
boy that I wish we did.

26
00:01:03,240 --> 00:01:04,540
Like Dell's World.

27
00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:09,000
That was a funny little intro that I

28
00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:09,500
found

29
00:01:10,015 --> 00:01:12,495
when digging through some of my files here,

30
00:01:12,495 --> 00:01:15,135
so, why not throw it at the beginning

31
00:01:15,135 --> 00:01:16,034
of this episode?

32
00:01:17,375 --> 00:01:17,875
Anyway,

33
00:01:18,174 --> 00:01:19,715
today we're gonna talk about

34
00:01:20,575 --> 00:01:21,954
getting ready for winter,

35
00:01:22,540 --> 00:01:23,599
or winterizing.

36
00:01:24,299 --> 00:01:25,900
I know I talked about that a little

37
00:01:25,900 --> 00:01:27,519
bit in a previous episode,

38
00:01:28,140 --> 00:01:29,260
already this year, but,

39
00:01:30,619 --> 00:01:32,400
they winterize the campers,

40
00:01:33,340 --> 00:01:35,119
amongst other things. But

41
00:01:36,685 --> 00:01:38,765
kinda, you know, when you live up north

42
00:01:38,765 --> 00:01:39,905
here and,

43
00:01:40,445 --> 00:01:42,765
you know, for part of the year, there's

44
00:01:42,765 --> 00:01:44,145
below freezing temperatures

45
00:01:44,445 --> 00:01:47,245
and snow and all the good stuff. So

46
00:01:47,245 --> 00:01:49,325
there's usually kind of a a list of

47
00:01:49,325 --> 00:01:51,344
things you need to get ready for.

48
00:01:52,420 --> 00:01:53,719
And one of those things

49
00:01:54,180 --> 00:01:56,020
is, you know, the campers. You know, you

50
00:01:56,020 --> 00:01:56,520
gotta

51
00:01:56,900 --> 00:01:58,980
get all the the the water out of

52
00:01:58,980 --> 00:02:01,400
them and, replace it with some

53
00:02:01,859 --> 00:02:02,359
antifreeze.

54
00:02:02,659 --> 00:02:04,500
Not you know, you don't put antifreeze in

55
00:02:04,500 --> 00:02:06,180
all the pipes and everything, but you run

56
00:02:06,180 --> 00:02:08,995
the antifreeze through the pipes once you get

57
00:02:08,995 --> 00:02:10,775
the clear water out of it.

58
00:02:11,074 --> 00:02:13,414
And then in the spring, you have to

59
00:02:13,555 --> 00:02:16,134
flush all that stuff out. It's edible antifreeze.

60
00:02:16,194 --> 00:02:17,794
I wouldn't drink it out of the bottle,

61
00:02:17,794 --> 00:02:19,014
but, anyway.

62
00:02:19,474 --> 00:02:21,235
But there's a lot of other things that

63
00:02:21,235 --> 00:02:22,935
you you might not think about.

64
00:02:23,340 --> 00:02:23,840
You

65
00:02:25,180 --> 00:02:26,800
know, getting the snow shovels,

66
00:02:27,259 --> 00:02:28,560
put in strategic

67
00:02:28,860 --> 00:02:30,080
locations and

68
00:02:30,739 --> 00:02:31,239
putting

69
00:02:31,900 --> 00:02:33,419
the ice scrapers and,

70
00:02:34,459 --> 00:02:35,120
and snowbrushes

71
00:02:35,819 --> 00:02:37,039
back in their vehicles.

72
00:02:37,340 --> 00:02:38,800
You know, most vehicles

73
00:02:41,155 --> 00:02:43,074
or most people around here,

74
00:02:43,555 --> 00:02:45,555
put pull one in their vehicles. You know,

75
00:02:45,555 --> 00:02:47,794
because you never know. Well, you do know

76
00:02:47,794 --> 00:02:50,034
you're gonna get snow on your windshield and

77
00:02:50,034 --> 00:02:52,034
side windows and you really need to clear

78
00:02:52,034 --> 00:02:54,050
all that stuff off. So that's on the

79
00:02:54,050 --> 00:02:55,590
list for winterizing.

80
00:02:56,770 --> 00:02:58,129
You know, some of the other things is,

81
00:02:58,129 --> 00:03:00,790
like, get the snowblower running or the snowblowers

82
00:03:01,250 --> 00:03:01,750
running.

83
00:03:03,569 --> 00:03:05,189
In my case, get the tractor

84
00:03:05,955 --> 00:03:08,514
going. I'm gonna take the tractor out to

85
00:03:08,514 --> 00:03:10,754
the dealership and have them do all the

86
00:03:10,754 --> 00:03:13,235
fluids and make sure it's all ready to

87
00:03:13,235 --> 00:03:14,375
go for winter.

88
00:03:16,435 --> 00:03:18,419
You know, some of the other things, we

89
00:03:18,419 --> 00:03:19,939
do around here, you know, we don't have

90
00:03:19,939 --> 00:03:22,580
central air conditioning. So, you know, in my

91
00:03:22,580 --> 00:03:23,080
studio

92
00:03:23,620 --> 00:03:24,599
slash office,

93
00:03:25,939 --> 00:03:28,020
building here, I've I've got a window air

94
00:03:28,020 --> 00:03:30,340
conditioner. I take that out or cover it

95
00:03:30,340 --> 00:03:31,800
up. They took it out,

96
00:03:32,104 --> 00:03:33,305
and they go put it in the garage

97
00:03:33,305 --> 00:03:35,305
and, you know, put the screen back in

98
00:03:35,305 --> 00:03:36,905
the window just in case, you know, we

99
00:03:36,905 --> 00:03:38,104
do get a warm day, I can at

100
00:03:38,104 --> 00:03:39,245
least open the window.

101
00:03:40,025 --> 00:03:41,965
But, you know, get that stuff done.

102
00:03:42,905 --> 00:03:45,465
Get the, you know, in the house, took

103
00:03:45,465 --> 00:03:47,064
out you know, we have two window air

104
00:03:47,064 --> 00:03:47,564
conditioners,

105
00:03:47,870 --> 00:03:48,370
and

106
00:03:48,829 --> 00:03:50,590
I I take them out now. It's a

107
00:03:50,590 --> 00:03:52,449
lot easier to to deal with.

108
00:03:53,069 --> 00:03:53,569
But,

109
00:03:54,189 --> 00:03:56,189
you know, make sure your furnace filter is

110
00:03:56,189 --> 00:03:56,689
good,

111
00:03:57,389 --> 00:03:59,069
all that stuff. You know, if you heat

112
00:03:59,069 --> 00:04:01,389
with propane or oil, you know, make sure

113
00:04:01,389 --> 00:04:02,530
you get a full tank.

114
00:04:04,094 --> 00:04:06,894
Just a lot of that kind of stuff,

115
00:04:07,215 --> 00:04:09,215
you know, boats. That's the other thing. You

116
00:04:09,215 --> 00:04:11,155
know, I put away a couple of boats.

117
00:04:12,814 --> 00:04:14,814
You know, you wanna run the engine so

118
00:04:14,814 --> 00:04:16,975
the, you know, there's no water in the

119
00:04:16,975 --> 00:04:17,475
engine,

120
00:04:19,620 --> 00:04:22,740
and you wanna maybe fog it or whatever.

121
00:04:22,740 --> 00:04:25,060
I just heard somebody bark. Is that the

122
00:04:25,060 --> 00:04:25,560
dog?

123
00:04:26,100 --> 00:04:27,959
Well, obviously, it was a dog.

124
00:04:29,220 --> 00:04:29,720
Anyway,

125
00:04:32,024 --> 00:04:33,464
you know, things like that.

126
00:04:34,105 --> 00:04:35,944
You know, try to get the leaves out

127
00:04:35,944 --> 00:04:37,545
of the yard or at least off the

128
00:04:37,545 --> 00:04:39,165
driveway and off the walkways,

129
00:04:40,185 --> 00:04:42,045
you know, because you don't wanna be

130
00:04:42,665 --> 00:04:45,944
shoveling leaves with the snow or blowing leaves

131
00:04:45,944 --> 00:04:46,764
with the snow.

132
00:04:47,129 --> 00:04:47,629
You

133
00:04:48,889 --> 00:04:51,209
know, a lot of people, they put,

134
00:04:51,610 --> 00:04:53,709
markers on the edges of their driveways,

135
00:04:54,569 --> 00:04:56,569
you know, little sticks that stick up above

136
00:04:56,569 --> 00:04:58,889
the snowpack so you know where where the

137
00:04:58,889 --> 00:04:59,949
driveway is.

138
00:05:00,615 --> 00:05:03,415
You'd be surprised at, how easy it is

139
00:05:03,415 --> 00:05:04,535
to lose the driveway,

140
00:05:04,935 --> 00:05:06,634
especially out of my mom's house.

141
00:05:07,014 --> 00:05:08,855
You know, she's got a pretty good ditch

142
00:05:08,855 --> 00:05:10,154
at the end of her driveways.

143
00:05:11,495 --> 00:05:14,454
And, you know, we mark that so that

144
00:05:14,454 --> 00:05:16,074
when I'm plowing, I don't

145
00:05:16,710 --> 00:05:17,210
accidentally

146
00:05:17,670 --> 00:05:18,810
drive into the ditch

147
00:05:19,430 --> 00:05:19,930
or

148
00:05:20,310 --> 00:05:22,150
when you're driving the car, you know, you

149
00:05:22,150 --> 00:05:23,910
just just need to know where the edges

150
00:05:23,910 --> 00:05:26,410
of the of the driveway is.

151
00:05:28,564 --> 00:05:29,444
Sometimes the,

152
00:05:30,404 --> 00:05:33,604
the county and city road commission out here

153
00:05:33,604 --> 00:05:34,425
will put

154
00:05:35,044 --> 00:05:37,604
markers, you know, in in spots that tend

155
00:05:37,604 --> 00:05:38,264
to drift.

156
00:05:38,564 --> 00:05:41,524
They'll put markers along the, shoulder of the

157
00:05:41,524 --> 00:05:43,470
road. Not right on the road, but way,

158
00:05:43,470 --> 00:05:45,170
you know, to the edge of the shoulder.

159
00:05:45,230 --> 00:05:47,389
So for the same reason, their snowplows will

160
00:05:47,389 --> 00:05:47,889
know

161
00:05:48,350 --> 00:05:50,769
where every you know, where the edge is.

162
00:05:50,990 --> 00:05:52,209
They don't put them everywhere.

163
00:05:53,389 --> 00:05:55,410
I remember back in the seventies,

164
00:05:55,790 --> 00:05:57,810
we have a couple of really big hills

165
00:05:59,125 --> 00:06:00,665
going out of town here,

166
00:06:01,845 --> 00:06:04,665
those that are local. There's Brockway Hill,

167
00:06:05,045 --> 00:06:06,425
going up 31

168
00:06:07,285 --> 00:06:10,300
or is that Brockway? I don't know. We

169
00:06:10,300 --> 00:06:11,900
don't call it that anymore, but,

170
00:06:12,300 --> 00:06:14,480
there's like Green Hill and

171
00:06:15,819 --> 00:06:19,020
Silver Lake Road. There's Front street that goes

172
00:06:19,100 --> 00:06:21,819
turns into North Long Lake Road. That hill

173
00:06:21,819 --> 00:06:23,340
come out of town. They used to put

174
00:06:23,340 --> 00:06:24,240
these barrels.

175
00:06:25,534 --> 00:06:28,334
They were big green barrels, and they would

176
00:06:28,334 --> 00:06:29,794
fill them full of sand.

177
00:06:30,735 --> 00:06:32,894
And that way if, you had trouble getting

178
00:06:32,894 --> 00:06:35,055
up the hill, you could, go to one

179
00:06:35,055 --> 00:06:37,854
of those barrels and grab some sand and

180
00:06:37,854 --> 00:06:40,180
throw them under your tires. And they don't

181
00:06:40,180 --> 00:06:42,339
do that so much anymore because so many

182
00:06:42,339 --> 00:06:45,560
people have really good radial snow tires or

183
00:06:45,860 --> 00:06:47,959
all wheel drive, four wheel drive.

184
00:06:48,259 --> 00:06:50,019
It's a lot more common than it was

185
00:06:50,019 --> 00:06:53,060
in the seventies to to have much better

186
00:06:53,060 --> 00:06:53,560
tires,

187
00:06:54,339 --> 00:06:54,839
and

188
00:06:55,754 --> 00:06:56,235
that's,

189
00:06:56,794 --> 00:06:59,035
that's a good thing. And speaking of tires,

190
00:06:59,035 --> 00:07:01,915
you know, some some people have specific snow

191
00:07:01,915 --> 00:07:03,595
tires they put on, so you gotta get

192
00:07:03,595 --> 00:07:04,654
those switched over.

193
00:07:05,354 --> 00:07:07,035
Either, you know, if you have your own

194
00:07:07,035 --> 00:07:09,910
rims and put the snow tires on rims,

195
00:07:09,910 --> 00:07:11,430
and then you have a second set of

196
00:07:11,430 --> 00:07:12,649
rims for the summer.

197
00:07:13,270 --> 00:07:15,770
But, you know, kinda gotta winterize the car.

198
00:07:17,350 --> 00:07:20,310
And, you know, and and, conversely, believe it

199
00:07:20,310 --> 00:07:22,345
or not, in the summer, and there's not

200
00:07:22,345 --> 00:07:24,024
really a word for this, I call it

201
00:07:24,024 --> 00:07:24,524
summarizing.

202
00:07:25,785 --> 00:07:28,665
Like the snowblower and the tractor. I, you

203
00:07:28,665 --> 00:07:30,204
know, I summarize

204
00:07:30,504 --> 00:07:31,004
those.

205
00:07:31,544 --> 00:07:34,444
Usually I'll change the oil and the

206
00:07:34,980 --> 00:07:35,480
snowblower

207
00:07:36,180 --> 00:07:37,860
and, you know, the the one that has

208
00:07:37,860 --> 00:07:38,759
its own engine

209
00:07:39,379 --> 00:07:39,879
and,

210
00:07:40,420 --> 00:07:42,259
oh, fog it or put some,

211
00:07:43,620 --> 00:07:45,000
sea foam or,

212
00:07:45,939 --> 00:07:48,339
stable in the gas and top off the

213
00:07:48,339 --> 00:07:49,160
gas and,

214
00:07:49,865 --> 00:07:52,504
you know, try I, shut off the gas

215
00:07:52,504 --> 00:07:54,264
and run it until it you know, the

216
00:07:54,264 --> 00:07:56,345
carburetor doesn't have any gas in it because,

217
00:07:56,345 --> 00:07:57,785
you know, you never know what kind of

218
00:07:57,785 --> 00:07:59,144
crud you can have in there. And if

219
00:07:59,144 --> 00:08:00,904
it's sitting all summer in the in the

220
00:08:00,904 --> 00:08:01,964
baking sun,

221
00:08:02,665 --> 00:08:04,105
you know, it's not good. So, you know,

222
00:08:04,105 --> 00:08:05,404
you also have to

223
00:08:06,400 --> 00:08:07,540
summarize things.

224
00:08:08,480 --> 00:08:10,240
And the tractor, you know, we use the

225
00:08:10,240 --> 00:08:11,379
tractor year round,

226
00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:14,560
but take off the cab, take off the

227
00:08:14,560 --> 00:08:15,060
snowblower

228
00:08:15,439 --> 00:08:15,939
attachment,

229
00:08:16,240 --> 00:08:18,660
and then put on the mower deck and,

230
00:08:19,040 --> 00:08:21,444
you know, all the stuff that goes with

231
00:08:21,444 --> 00:08:21,944
summer.

232
00:08:22,964 --> 00:08:25,625
And, you know, just kind of that stuff.

233
00:08:26,564 --> 00:08:27,524
Like I said, it's,

234
00:08:28,404 --> 00:08:30,644
it is a subject around here. A lot

235
00:08:30,644 --> 00:08:33,365
of people shrink-wrap their boats too, and there's

236
00:08:33,365 --> 00:08:34,664
a whole business

237
00:08:35,205 --> 00:08:36,024
around that

238
00:08:36,700 --> 00:08:38,379
where they'll you know, if they're gonna store

239
00:08:38,379 --> 00:08:39,360
the boat outside,

240
00:08:40,460 --> 00:08:40,960
they'll

241
00:08:42,299 --> 00:08:43,519
they'll put up, like,

242
00:08:44,379 --> 00:08:44,879
wood,

243
00:08:45,500 --> 00:08:48,134
posts and whatnot to hold the shrink-wrap off

244
00:08:48,215 --> 00:08:50,375
of the interior of the boat, and then

245
00:08:50,375 --> 00:08:50,615
they'll,

246
00:08:51,335 --> 00:08:53,195
literally shrink-wrap the whole boat.

247
00:08:53,975 --> 00:08:56,054
We used to do that with, one of

248
00:08:56,054 --> 00:08:58,375
our boats, and, now now we got enough

249
00:08:58,375 --> 00:09:00,054
room in the barn to put both in.

250
00:09:00,054 --> 00:09:00,554
So

251
00:09:00,940 --> 00:09:02,700
both boats go in the barn and we

252
00:09:02,700 --> 00:09:04,460
don't have to do that. My mom also

253
00:09:04,460 --> 00:09:05,279
has a

254
00:09:06,220 --> 00:09:09,259
a little Volkswagen Beetle convertible and she doesn't

255
00:09:09,259 --> 00:09:10,639
use that in the

256
00:09:11,580 --> 00:09:12,080
winter.

257
00:09:12,620 --> 00:09:14,644
So it's got a spot that we park

258
00:09:14,644 --> 00:09:17,304
it and then put on the trickle charger

259
00:09:17,365 --> 00:09:19,605
for the battery just to keep the battery

260
00:09:19,605 --> 00:09:21,524
up. Either that or we'll take the battery

261
00:09:21,524 --> 00:09:22,964
out, put it in the basement where it

262
00:09:22,964 --> 00:09:23,945
doesn't freeze,

263
00:09:24,884 --> 00:09:26,184
one way or the other,

264
00:09:27,289 --> 00:09:29,289
and put stable in the gas and make

265
00:09:29,289 --> 00:09:30,110
sure the gas

266
00:09:30,569 --> 00:09:31,230
is full.

267
00:09:33,049 --> 00:09:35,209
So lots of little things you got to

268
00:09:35,209 --> 00:09:37,289
do to get ready for winter up here

269
00:09:37,289 --> 00:09:39,129
in the North anyway. Now you know if

270
00:09:39,129 --> 00:09:40,909
you live in Florida or

271
00:09:41,654 --> 00:09:44,214
Tennessee or someplace that doesn't really get that

272
00:09:44,214 --> 00:09:45,115
much winter,

273
00:09:45,574 --> 00:09:47,254
there may not be so much of that

274
00:09:47,254 --> 00:09:47,754
stuff.

275
00:09:48,294 --> 00:09:49,894
You know, another thing we gotta do is,

276
00:09:49,894 --> 00:09:51,735
you know, put away the yard furniture. You

277
00:09:51,735 --> 00:09:53,254
know, we don't don't wanna leave the

278
00:09:54,269 --> 00:09:56,110
you know, on the patio. We have a

279
00:09:56,110 --> 00:09:59,009
a table and some chairs and an umbrella

280
00:09:59,309 --> 00:10:01,870
and all that stuff, and, we usually pack

281
00:10:01,870 --> 00:10:02,610
that away,

282
00:10:04,029 --> 00:10:05,550
and get that out of the way because,

283
00:10:05,550 --> 00:10:06,610
you know, when I'm

284
00:10:07,514 --> 00:10:09,834
moving snow, you know, on the patio, I

285
00:10:09,834 --> 00:10:11,754
just assume not have all that stuff in

286
00:10:11,754 --> 00:10:13,834
the way and it doesn't really hurt the

287
00:10:13,834 --> 00:10:15,294
stuff. It's outdoor furniture

288
00:10:15,914 --> 00:10:18,235
and all snow is is frozen water. So,

289
00:10:18,235 --> 00:10:19,674
you know, if it doesn't melt in the

290
00:10:19,674 --> 00:10:21,615
rain, it's not gonna melt in the snow.

291
00:10:22,209 --> 00:10:23,750
It's just not a good idea.

292
00:10:24,370 --> 00:10:26,850
It's something around here that, I I have

293
00:10:26,850 --> 00:10:27,089
a,

294
00:10:27,809 --> 00:10:28,470
one of those

295
00:10:29,009 --> 00:10:29,990
tent garage

296
00:10:30,690 --> 00:10:31,190
things,

297
00:10:32,450 --> 00:10:35,409
you know, those portable garages. Well, we have

298
00:10:35,409 --> 00:10:37,110
one that's semi permanent,

299
00:10:38,115 --> 00:10:40,355
behind our garage, and that's where we put

300
00:10:40,355 --> 00:10:42,035
a lot of the stuff that we put

301
00:10:42,035 --> 00:10:43,335
away for the winter.

302
00:10:43,794 --> 00:10:44,934
We put it in there.

303
00:10:45,315 --> 00:10:47,715
And last year, we got a lot more

304
00:10:47,715 --> 00:10:50,215
snow than we normally would have got. So,

305
00:10:51,200 --> 00:10:53,220
the tent that we had in the backyard,

306
00:10:53,279 --> 00:10:55,779
the tent garage, portable garage thing,

307
00:10:57,440 --> 00:11:00,320
one day just collapsed because snow had built

308
00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:01,519
up on it and all of a sudden

309
00:11:01,519 --> 00:11:03,220
it just went just imploded.

310
00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:06,179
That was inconvenient as hell, but,

311
00:11:06,605 --> 00:11:08,764
anyway, got all the stuff we needed to

312
00:11:08,764 --> 00:11:10,785
get out of there and just left it.

313
00:11:11,725 --> 00:11:12,384
And then,

314
00:11:12,764 --> 00:11:14,225
we replaced it,

315
00:11:14,925 --> 00:11:16,305
this summer. So

316
00:11:16,764 --> 00:11:19,085
now on my checklist of things to do

317
00:11:19,085 --> 00:11:20,684
is go knock the snow off of the

318
00:11:20,684 --> 00:11:21,585
roof of the

319
00:11:22,049 --> 00:11:22,549
storage

320
00:11:24,289 --> 00:11:25,750
tent. So lesson learned,

321
00:11:26,690 --> 00:11:28,370
but it's not a big deal to do.

322
00:11:28,610 --> 00:11:30,610
My neighbor uses one of those as her

323
00:11:30,610 --> 00:11:31,110
garage.

324
00:11:32,049 --> 00:11:34,370
And, you know, just whenever she goes out

325
00:11:34,370 --> 00:11:36,950
there and there's snow buildup on it, just

326
00:11:37,085 --> 00:11:39,264
takes a push broom and

327
00:11:40,125 --> 00:11:42,684
from inside and just, you know, hits it

328
00:11:42,684 --> 00:11:44,605
a few times and the snow slides off

329
00:11:44,605 --> 00:11:47,725
and, yeah, it's no problem. I didn't even

330
00:11:47,725 --> 00:11:48,865
think about that

331
00:11:49,804 --> 00:11:50,625
last year.

332
00:11:51,279 --> 00:11:53,279
And, in fact, it was her. She came

333
00:11:53,279 --> 00:11:54,100
over and

334
00:11:54,559 --> 00:11:55,059
she

335
00:11:55,839 --> 00:11:57,679
looks out there and she says, what happened

336
00:11:57,679 --> 00:12:00,639
to your tent? I said, I don't know.

337
00:12:00,639 --> 00:12:02,080
What happened to it? And I looked out

338
00:12:02,080 --> 00:12:03,379
there, and oh my gosh.

339
00:12:05,045 --> 00:12:07,365
So and what really sucked about it was,

340
00:12:07,605 --> 00:12:09,144
we had some shovels

341
00:12:09,845 --> 00:12:12,245
and brooms and stuff kinda leaning on the

342
00:12:12,245 --> 00:12:14,245
wall, and it poked right up through the

343
00:12:14,245 --> 00:12:16,804
the the roof. So that tent was garbage

344
00:12:16,804 --> 00:12:17,785
anyway. It

345
00:12:18,639 --> 00:12:21,860
absolutely mangled all the the structure of it.

346
00:12:22,240 --> 00:12:23,940
But, yeah, it was

347
00:12:24,399 --> 00:12:27,200
that was an adventure. So even if you

348
00:12:27,200 --> 00:12:29,279
do think you're prepared, you might not be

349
00:12:29,279 --> 00:12:29,779
prepared.

350
00:12:30,320 --> 00:12:30,820
But

351
00:12:31,304 --> 00:12:32,745
and again, like I said, if you live

352
00:12:32,745 --> 00:12:35,144
somewhere where it doesn't snow like this or

353
00:12:35,144 --> 00:12:37,304
doesn't get this cold, you probably don't have

354
00:12:37,304 --> 00:12:38,445
to worry about it.

355
00:12:39,384 --> 00:12:42,985
So, anyway, everybody have a great day. I

356
00:12:42,985 --> 00:12:43,465
think,

357
00:12:43,785 --> 00:12:44,285
tomorrow,

358
00:12:45,419 --> 00:12:46,240
yeah, tomorrow

359
00:12:46,620 --> 00:12:48,000
is the, anniversary

360
00:12:48,460 --> 00:12:50,559
of the wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald.

361
00:12:51,500 --> 00:12:52,720
So I think I'm gonna

362
00:12:53,100 --> 00:12:54,240
talk about that.

363
00:12:55,339 --> 00:12:57,179
Probably know about it because of the song

364
00:12:57,179 --> 00:12:59,419
from Gordon Lightfoot, but, there's a lot more

365
00:12:59,419 --> 00:13:00,399
to it than that.

366
00:13:01,165 --> 00:13:02,315
Catch me later.
