shooting sparklers with crosman 1377 airgun and $24 Cobra pistol crossbow on 4th of July
Here are the results of shooting sparklers on the Fourth of July with the Crosman 1377 air pistol and the 80-pound Cobra pistol crossbow. If you try this do so at your own risk, I am not responsible for the actions of others or their results.
The crossbow string did not catch the skewers right and it was too dark for me to adjust. However, the Crosman air pistol worked perfect and shot higher and farther than I had expected. It shot as well and as high and far as a bottle rocket, maybe farther.
You can use these small arrows with your pistol crossbow by removing one of the vanes. They are only for the crossbow, not the air pistol. 6pc Aluminum Arrows 16" Long Brand New Crossbow Arrows http://amzn.to/2r7Pj0U
I made a video a while ago showing how to make little mini pies using rolled out flat bread for the pie crusts. I used tart pans in the video. A lot of people may not have tart pans so i showed in this video how good looking little mini pies look using old tuna cans anybody can save and re use if they do not have any tart pans.
These little pies make excellent ways to serve up leftovers and are very delicious and quick to make if you have a small toaster oven.
This is another quick low cost DIY item I have come up with that is fun to make and I have not seen other people do.
I add new DIY, tightwad, outdoor, prepper, cooking,fishing,frugal film making, and other types of videos on my youTube channel every week.
Thanks for watching. I love making and sharing YouTube videos on the gadgets I create and the things I do.
I hope you start making videos and you let us fellow YouTubers see what you are making and doing too.

If you earn money working at home sitting in front of a computer here is a way you might be able to continue to do the same thing in bed. With Dragon NaturallySpeaking, even an old inexpensive version, you can transfer all your speech into text and even navigate your computer all by using your voice.
Recently, I have been editing my YouTube videos from my bed. Over the years I have used Dragon NaturallySpeaking for different writing projects but I have never used it with any of my YouTube videos. However, I thought it would be interesting to see if Dragon would work with my YouTube videos.
I have two old versions, Dragon NaturallySpeaking version 10 home version, and the premium Dragon NaturallySpeaking version 13. I found version 13 to be very accurate after training it but it's still quite expensive to buy used. I went ahead and loaded the low-cost Dragon version 10 into my computer and trained it by reading a few stories and have been getting fairly decent accuracy with it.
I did some research and found that you can still buy version 10 Dragon NaturallySpeaking for just a few dollars. I think this is a good buy for people who are on a budget and want to be able to transfer their speech into text for the different things they would be writing when making YouTube videos.
The headphone that I recommended in the video is one of the best low-cost headphones I have used and it is also regarded highly by other users with Dragon NaturallySpeaking. There are much better headphones to get but none that are as low cost.
Regarding the little table I'm using to hold my computer monitor and keyboard, it's just a normal hospital-type table you have next to the bed.
I find it very handy because I can put the monitor and keyboard on it and have it over me as I lay in bed and then I put the mouse on the bed
so I barely have to move a muscle. When I combine the very convenient mouse with the convenience of the speech-to-text program from Dragon it's a very enjoyable experience to edit my YouTube videos when I have to do any typing because there isn't any typing left to do. I'm able to do it all
by just speaking.

If you make a living using your computer and sitting in a chair all day you might want to try getting Dragon naturally speaking and a bed table and microphone and just work from your bed.
However, if you are serious about this and the long run you are probably going to want to use a premium version 13 or higher.

Here is a link to my book on Amazon
A Simple Happy eBay Job
https://www.amazon.com/Simple-Happy-eBay-Job-ebook/dp/B005JK6IMU/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1483035400&sr=1-1&keywords=A+Simple+Happy+eBay+Job
I have begun writing updates for the new edition of my eBay book which I wrote in 1999. The book is on Amazon Kindle and is
titled
A Simple Happy eBay Job
I have 11 new chapters planned. This video is a discussion of the topic for the first of the new chapters I am adding:
Tips I wish someone had told me when I started eBay 15 years ago.
1. It’s all about the numbers. Use an accounting system-ANY system, to keep track of where you are and where you are going.
2. Know the cost in time and money for everything you do in your business.
3. You don’t work for your self- you work for your customers and eBay. Migrate as soon as you can to your own selling platforms.
4. Don’t try to sell what you think poor people need. Sell what people with money want, and are buying today.
5. It takes the same amount of time to list and package a low cost item as it does a high cost item.
6. Have something to sell on the backside.
7. Find something to sell that has repeat customers.
8. Develop an email list
9. Listen and learn from customer complaints, but realize some people are just dicks.
10. Competition is good. Pioneers have all the arrows in their back
11. Learn from customers and competitors.
12. Use forums and books on eBay and selling to your advantage, don’t stop learning.
13. Have a goal. Write it down with actionable steps
14. Be prepared to lose your permission to sell your item on ebay. Just like a pilot that expects the engine to quit, have a plan B.
15. Want crazy customers ?-sell crazy items
16. Learn how to get to yes, my eBook I turned into a paperback story
17. Cut out time wasters like going to the post office and listing new items- print your own postage and focus on items you resell every auction. Which is better, spend a week looking for items you can sell once, or spend a week looking for a single item you can sell every week forever.
18. Spend 20 minutes a day brainstorming how to make the business better
19. Always ask the 3 questions when picking used items.
20. Have some fun.
The proposed topics for the new chapters are:
A Simple Happy eBay Job
1.)Tips I wish someone had told me when I started eBay ten years ago.
2.)How to use Smartphones to pick your profits before purchasing items.
3.) Learning from the success of other eBay sellers.
4.) Tips on how to import from home, and why I stopped importing.
5.) A list of the most high profit items you can still find to resell.
6.)Ways to get started selling for others on eBay.
7.) Making items to sell is an overlooked eBay profit center.
8.) 29 tips to increas

I have been experimenting with converting a cheap Wal-Mart inflatable boat into a simple sailboat. I made such a sailboat years ago, but the rudder broke off the first time I ran aground and I discontinued using the inflatable boat after that.
I recently saw Jim Luckett on you tube who makes and sails a variety of inflatables using a steering oar instead of using a rudder. I decided to make steering oars and convert my boat to a sailboat. Check Jim Luckett's channel out, he has some good stuff, and if you subscribe to his channel, tell him I sent you.
http://youtu.be/T9rXt3ucHQM
The video I am posting today shows my first sailing trial of my inflatable sailboat.. There was no wind for almost the entire time, and then just moments before a heavy rain I got some decent wind. It was not a complete success.
Some things I made for the boat worked well, some things did not. I was not able to find out as much as I needed from this sail, but saw several things I can change to make the boat sail better.
I will be posting a video later showing the construction and detailed costs of the boat and the anticipated changes I will be making. This boat, excluding the sail and battery , has cost me less than $100.

I bought my sail from Jim Luckett , it is an excellent quality sail and a very good price, but you can also make your own if you are handy at making stuff. David Goodchild has excellent videos on making your own small boat sails.

This was my first attempt at growing broccoli microgreens. I should have let them grow longer. I grew them in soil I heat-treated in the microwave to achieve a temperature of over 200 Fahrenheit.
I soaked the seeds overnight. the seeds I used were expensive, but they germinated very well.
Broccoli Seeds for Sprouting & Microgreens | Waltham 29 Variety | Non GMO & Heirloom Seeds | Bulk 1 LB Resealable Bag | Rainbow Heirloom Seed Co.
https://amzn.to/3Cvt88x
My next batch is growing less vigorously and I think it may be because the temperature has been colder. I also wonder if I made a mistake in recording my amounts as the tablespoon per container does not seem to be as abundant, I may have mixed things up and used 2 tablespoons per container and not 2 total.
I will be getting some cheap black oil sunflower seeds from Walmart and let you know how they turn out. I am also trying some lettuce that looks like I can keep removing the leaves and it will grow back over the season.

Lou Reed Dania Pier quarter to midnight June 11 take a walk on the wild side.
I often go to bed late and if I am on YouTube the last thing I like to watch if it is around midnight is the live cam at Dania Beach Pier. The pier closes at midnight and I like to watch the people on the pier leaving for the night. I captured this segment on a Friday night in June. Lou Reed seemed appropriate.
Hope you enjoyed the simple diversion from your daily life.
