I thought I could take the bus and my bike to Ft Lauderdale Beach for some Pizza and a nice bike ride by the Ocean along US 1 and then take the bus home without any Broward Bus drama. I was wrong.
sweet potato leaves for food on the balcony experiment part 1

results so far.
The cut up sweet potatoes did not grow well and rotted in the water.The whole tubers have finally grown well after a very slow start, but the clear container is full of algae covering the roots and the leaf growth for that plant is stunted.
I tested a few of the leaves for tatse by adding them to a sandwich
I made and cooked in my sandwhich toaster and the leaves were very mild tasting. I will do more extensive cooking next week and test by boiling and freezing and baking.
I am adding foam to bounce light off one side to increase the sunlight as I only get 2 hours of morning sun.

This is an idea for a random alarm to trigger a gun safety drill to see how quickly I could access my firearm for home self-defense. My first time was 8 seconds for the little Taurus PLY22. I know the little 22 is not considered a self-defense weapon but I live in a 1 bedroom apartment. EVERYTHING is in a 5-yard range. I can place all 8 rounds in an object the size of a coconut 5 yards away in 5 seconds. The reason I only shoot 8 rounds instead of 9 rounds is that way I can load the second and third magazine and not have to rack the slide which is so hard to do with the little Taurus.
If you do not have handy smoke alarms that go off randomly I am told there are random alarm apps for a smartphone that will do the same thing.
I am not a gun expert. I do not have a gun channel, however, once in a while, I make a gun video that is very popular with the gun community on YouTube and it can be found on my playlist.

I asked artificial intelligence if it could video describe my channel Robb's Homemade Life. The finished product seemed to be an exaggeration, but parts were very flattering and amusing to watch.
I especially like the comparison of me to MacGyver and Martha Stewart's love child. However, I need to reemphasize that regardless of what artificial intelligence says I think it's paramount that you continue your hoarding of duct tape and aluminum cans.
Thanks again for watching for so many years while I have attempted to try to have a little fun on YouTube.
I don't say it often enough but I truly appreciate all my viewers. I have a lot of subscribers but not many viewers and I appreciate every single one of you. Thanks again.

Here is how to make a low cost solar powered underwater green fishing light from a 3 liter plastic bottle and a LUCI solar light I got on Amazon for $15.
You will need :
1. one 3 liter green plastic bottle
2. an X-Acto or razor blade or scissors
3. a marker
4. elastic or rubber bands
5. some weight to sink the light- I used 2 small bags full of pennies, about 9 ounces or 260 grams.
Some string to attach to the light and to secure the weight to the bottom.
Green light travels farther underwater than white light, but not as far as blue light. Many people prefer green light to help them catch fish at night, but truthfully, it depends on the fish in your area. Any light that attracts small bait fish will attract larger fish.
I like the LUCI light a lot. It is waterproof as it is inflatable. I don't know how far down under water it will go. I put it into the canal immediately after making mine and the shoreline is very shallow and full of weeds so it did not go very deep, only a couple of feet. The light works a lot better over a sandy bottom in clear water. The LUCI light has a flasher and a high and low switch setting. It has straps on the bottom and top to attach a line to it.
Because it is waterproof it will not get damaged from salt spray which makes it an ideal light for boating. It should make a very handy cabin light or even a man overboard light, and should be excellent for camping or an emergency home or car light.
I will be using the light at some decent fishing spots and give you an update in the future.
Don't forget I have a Florida Fishing playlist and check out some of my favorite Youtubers and their channels I like and feature on my homepage that deserves more viewers. If you see a video I should ad to my Florida fishing playlist, send me the link and I will look at it and add it if I like it.

My old tape labels on my fastener organizer are all faded and ragged.
I decided to replace them with simple wood labels cut with my Rockwell Bladerunner and
text made with a woodburner.
If you need to make a label for something in your home or shop these wood labels
are easy to make and acually a bit of fun.

Explore the 55 and over community of Sunrise Lakes, Florida with me on my Jetson Bolt Ebike while I explain the pros and cons of living in Sunrise Lakes since 2010.
If you are on a budget and trying to live on Social Security you may find this video helpful.
In this video, join me on a ride through Sunrise Lakes, a charming 55 and over adult community located in Broward County. I'll explore the neighborhood and showcase its highlights while recording with my DJI Osmo Pocket video camera. Experience Sunrise Lakes as I take you along on my Jetson Bolt Ebike. Throughout the tour, I'll provide insights into the pros and cons of living in this community, offering an objective perspective on the unique lifestyle it offers to retirees. Discover the amenities, social scene, and affordability factors that make Sunrise Lakes an attractive option for those looking to live comfortably on their Social Security income.
This video was recorded with my DJI Osmo pocket at 4K and 24 FPS
I will be doing more videos on living on Social Security and how to get by on a limited income.
If enough people like this video I will do a more detailed video on the ownership cost and the pros and cons of living in Sunrise Lakes. This was basically just an ebike ride through my community while talking off the top of my head about living here.
If you have any topics you would like to discuss. Let me know in the comments.
This is the first time I have filmed outdoors on my bicycle with the DJI Osmo pocket camera. I apologize for the audio. In future videos. I will experiment with making the audio less susceptible to wind gusts while riding the bicycle.
Also, I had the camera attached to my bicycle helmet and did not realize how uncomfortable it would be to watch my head move back and forth while recording. I was concentrating on being safe on the bicycle. I think I can do better next time.
However, I was pleasantly surprised at the video quality and except for some strong gusts that overpowered the microphone even the audio is not that bad. I purchased the camera used on eBay for $105. So far I'm liking a lot better than the Insta 360 which cost me over $300.
Not many people know this but YouTube now allows viewers to leave a tip by using the thanks button below the videos on YouTube at least on some channels.
In addition, I have an Amazon affiliate link, and anything that people buy anywhere on Amazon after they enter Amazon via my link Jeff Bozos throws me a few pennies.
At least until he can get robots to start making YouTube videos and posting links for him. Don't laugh. The robot YouTube video content creators are just around the corner.
You better appreciate Robb's homemade life while you can.
