I bought some low cost $2 Neweer lavaliere or lapel microphones on Amazon to use in a DIY hydrophone, and decided to test them beforehand to see how well they recorded audio. Initially, I got very inconsistent results depending upon the placement of the microphone on my shirt collar. I decided to mount the lavaliere microphone on a DIY stand to act as a desk microphone instead of using it as a lavaliere mic and was pleased with the final results. I did a comparison test of it with my high quality Blue Yeti microphone. The cheap microphone was not as good as the Blue Yeti, but a lot better than I had expected. As an experiment,I placed a cardboard egg carton behind the mic to help remove a flat hollow sound but was only partially successful. There is also a background hiss, however, that would be easy to remove with the free Audacity program. if you need a desk microphone and are short on funds, I would give this solution a try. It is also fun to experiment with to see how good an audio result you can get with such an amazingly low cost mic. I will be making the mic into a hydrophone that records underwater audio and will post the links here when they are done. if you are interested in hydrophones I posted a couple of videos years ago on how to make a hydrophone that will let you listen underwater. https://youtu.be/bNY2-gAfV0w The hydrophone I am working on now is different from the one I made years ago as it will let you record instead of just listen. I also sell the hydrophone on ebay. many people use them to listen for pool leaks or hear whales and other sea life. http://ebay.to/1PDC00q if you are interested in buying a Blue yeti microphone, the amazon links and reviews are here http://amzn.to/2iICIwe Here are the links to the $2 microphones that come in a pack of 3. http://amzn.to/1nKadAB Thanks for watching.

If you like beans or bean soup and want a good simple basic bean soup recipe here is mine. I like this bean soup because it is so cheap and easy to make and bean soup freezes so well it is simple to make extra to eat later. If you have fresh ingredients the bean soup will taste even better but there is nothing wrong with the taste of this bean soup using dried food storage ingredients, I find it very flavorful and not bitter or too beany. After I spent all my time making this video I noticed the spoon in the video looks dirty. The spoon is stainless steel so there should not be any tarnish but when I scrubbed it there are still dark spots in some of the metal design on the spoon handle. I have a couple of dozen spoons and managed to pick the worst-looking one. I guess it matches my chipped bowl, LOL.

Last month I painted my 25-year-old Corolla I like to call the Moon Rover. I had to wait a month to give it its first coat of wax. I never waxed my car much in the past. After looking online at all of the options while trying to find the best car wax I ended picking Meguiar's Ultimate Liquid Wax. The wax went on very easy with the supplied applicator and even more importantly was easy to remove with the supplied microfiber towel. I found the process to be very quick and easy. The instructions claim the wax can even be applied in the sun but I waxed my car in the shade. I intend to wax my car now every 2 or 3 months to help keep my paint looking as good as it can for as long as it can. One of the main reasons I picked Meguiars is I read one of the reviewers on Amazon who did a test of 4 different popular waxes and the Meguiars lasted longer than the other three brands, it was still beading water after 4 months. So not only is it easy to apply it lasts a very long time which is exactly what I wanted. The cost is not cheap but compared to painting my car it is not bad at all.

I just wanted to post a short video to let you guys know I have 3 big videos coming up in the next 4 weeks. next Wednesday I will be uploading a health-focused video on 29 Natural ways I use to get better sleep. I used to sleep poorly, around 4 1/2 to 6 hours a night. Now I sleep 7 1/2 to 8 1/2 hours a night on average. All of the changes I have made are quite simple. Good sleep is so important and so overlooked. I hope this video will help more people take action and learn to be better sleepers. The second video will be on the little Taurus PT22 that I purchased 2 months ago. A lot of people do not like this pistol and 22 caliber pistols in general. I waited until I had shot it at the range several times before making up my mind and doing a review of the Taurus. I am not a gun expert. In fact, this is the first pistol I have ever owned. However, back in 2015, I did a review of the HiPoint 9mm carbine and it ha been one of my most well-liked and popular videos. I am hoping for the same with the review of the little 22 Taurus pistol. the third big video is the biggest. The video is quite personal and I debated on whether or not I should make it. The video is on how I am trying to live on $12,00 a year in expensive South Florida. In some ways, it is a boring video as it is just a spreadsheet with numbers and me talking. However, I find personal finance to be fascinating. People can be very judgemental and critical of others based on income. I am willing to risk a little ridicule and negativity in the hopes my experiences with the financial challenges of living in South Florida and the financial responses I have made may be helpful to others. Finally, I will also be posting a prepper book review on two great books and a cooking video on how to make dollar store sardines tasty. It will be a challenge.
