Merci!

Thanks for watching. I can only speak from my personal perspective, and considering new AI tools come out every day, thing change fast. I found that starting with ChatGPT was a good entry into this world. there's a free tier, but it should be sufficient to figure out what AI can help you with and what it can't. As for photoshop alternatives, I use photoshop because I have it (it's part of my photography tools). If you're just dabbling, Adobe has a free product called Adobe Express that will meet 90% of your needs (www.adobe.com/express/). I believe Canva also has a free tier but I haven't played with it. As far as reviews go, I haven't pushed for any reviews and would never use a service together reviews (that just seems like it'll backfire at some point). Hope that helps!

Thank you!!! 🥰. Happy Holiday's to you too.

Thanks Nancy

Thanks and agreed. Great products and service.

Thanks! Yeah, they grow so fast. 3 more months until they start laying.

Every time we've been the ocean was always wavy (Red flags every day) but that might just be the time of year. that said, the beach in front of the Grand is not ideal for swimming. to actually swim people go down over to the other Iberostar beaches connected to the left. It's not a far walk. We only go to the beach to lounge (and drink) so it hasn't been an issue for us. Hope that helps.

oh no! I probably didn't make it clear that the video is a second part to my experiment of dealing with a broody chicken. This video was just meant to be a quick update on the chicks and how integrating 6 week old chicks into a flock is possible.

I was planing for 10 weeks, but having the flock and the new girls in the same area helped a great deal.

😊 thank you and yes, both in our 50s (one of us, me, in the back half). I think we keep each other young.

@ Then that is a great thing!! Karen my wife, is like alot like me. Good fit…. Be well.. look forward to more of your adventures. 🍻

Hi! It was the first week of September 2022. September's a great time to go to France. School's back and things are still beautiful. hope that helps.

@AlainGrandemange Many thanks! Looked like a tremendous trip

Hi Marv. We've stayed in the Villas each time we've been. if you check out the IGP playlist you'll see in one of our videos we specifically discuss the Villas and in another we discuss the things we love about the Grand. It's a great resort and it should be going on sale shortly (shhh) during Black Friday week (the last week of Nov). the deal last year was significant. hope that helps.

@ thank you… cheers 🍻

Thank you. that's really what the channel is for. two VERY ordinary people just getting stuff done, whether it's cooking Indian food or raising chickens or building a farm. it's all doable.

it was stressful, but all the chicks are doing well. they turned 4 weeks old today. I'll post an update in a couple weeks when we separate them from MaryAnn. Thanks for watching!

That's awesome. We're excited about the adventure we're about to undertake. Construction starts next week so hopefully lots of updates coming.

Thanks for watching! We've been to London 3 times over the past 15 years. love it there.

Hi and thanks for watching. I'm a fellow introvert, as is my wife, which is one of the reasons we loved the IGP. The key selling point for us for the IGP is that it's adults only (we don't hate children - we have four, but when kids are around, they're very THERE and noticeable) and it's not a party resort. It's really perfect for people over 45 looking for a break.

@@AlainGrandemange thank you for you response. I totally understand. Look forward to more of your videos. Oh and by the way i love the look on your face when the your puppy is wanting your attention.. Cheers 🍻

will do. And stay tuned to the channel, we're moving in about 6 months onto 11 acres and plan to buy another Carolina Coop. Hoping to make a more in-depth 'build' video,

done!

Hi. When we made this video, we never thought about how useful it might be on youtube, so we didn't get into too many details in this video. but we did put together a follow up where we talk about the building, the instructions, lessons learned, etc... th-cam.com/video/8scwdB4PuOg/w-d-xo.html hope this one helps more

Dordogne was a magical escape. far enough from typical tourist spots but no lack of things to do or see. If you're looking for a change in pace, make sure you check out the 2nd video in our trip there when we took a cooking class and had a private tour with a lovely couple. highly recommended.

lol... the prices are definitely ridiculous. we found that waiting for black friday sales typically saves us about 50%

thank you

Good to know. How did that work out?

@@AlainGrandemange No problems getting in to any of them.

@@johnh8268 that's great news. Thanks!

Oh no. I’m sorry you didn’t have a. Good time. Being at these resorts during the rainy season can be rough but your experience sounds just awful. Plenty of other good resorts out there though. Keep trying new places until you find your perfect fit.

we definitely do. It's something i never expected... they're just so sweet.

Hope the Secrets lived up to your expectations. Going away to resorts over New Years is definitely a solid way to ring in a new year.

Glad you enjoyed it

Our attempts at solar powering the stuff in the coop didn't work out the way we would have liked, but Andrea believes she knows what went wrong, so the next Coop we build (next year) will have proper solar power. theoretically. Getting solar power working is her project so i'm anxious on seeing the second version of this.

Thanks for watching. This video has a walkthrough of the villas but is essentially a discussion about the worthiness of the villas. We have several other videos that have plenty of content from the IGP. Hope you watch those.

family or no family, i'd still go back every year.

It was good and different. normally we would have just done the Raclette, but we were cheesed out by dinner time..

I don’t disagree. The only useful thing it forced me to learn was understanding airspaces. I honestly had no idea how those worked beforehand. It doesn’t make me a better drone pilot, just a more aware pilot.

@@AlainGrandemange well I passed with 95%. Now, even though I have “known traveler” through TSA and can bypass almost all the “security BS at a commercial airport, I have to wait 5-10 days for my TSA background check. The feds are absolutely out of control and over reaching their authority in every facet of our lives. The founding fathers would have been shooting decades ago.

Thank you.

Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching.

I'll add it to my list for the next trip there. thanks!

Thanks. Glad the bee books are being enjoyed. We only got to spend 3 days in Paris on this trip but it was enough of a reminder as to why i love it there so much. Video should be out in a week or so.

100%. As cute as little chicks are, they grow really fast and having a coop ready to go when they’re ready to be moved out is key.

thanks for your comment! Enjoy your trip to France. We're going back next week but will explore the Avignon region this time. Video should be up in a few weeks.

There are some “balcony” roads on the way to Saint-Jean-en-Rohan’s just west of Grenoble. Unbelievable! Cliff side slow roads through short tunnels and short stone walls. The most beautiful views in the world! Also don’t miss L’Isle-sur-la-Sorgue marche on Saturdays

Hi! I’ve never had a shitzu, but Toby can easily walk a mile at lunch, but I think he’d run it if he had his way :)

Hi! I smoked it at 225(F, not C) until the internal temp reached 160. I think the key is to keep this part as consistent as you can do. 300 is a little high so keep an eye on it, but make sure you let me know how it turns out!

@@AlainGrandemangethank you, I will.

@@AlainGrandemangestarted smoking it just now at 225. Picked up a pellet smoker at Sam’s for $250 and am using maple,Pecan bourbon pellets. I bought a 12 lb brisket and removed the fat but I think I could have left a little more. I took off 5 lbs of fat. The next time I do it, I’ll add 1/2 a portion more to the ingredients except the pink Prague stuff. I find at 7 lbs it could have used more. Maybe I’m not that good with spreading it. Any how, looking forward to steaming it tomorrow and eating it and giving some to my coworkers here in PA. They have no idea how good Montreal smoke meat is!

@@Biblelover1963 That's awesome. I think getting the smoker is the right move. Trimming the fat is always a tough call because i was raised with the belief "fat is flavor", but during my last smoke, i had wished i had trimmed a little more. It's a dance. The Prague powder needs to be very precise or it'll ruin the flavor of the meat. make sure you follow the exact formula (based on the weight after the trim). Keep me posted on how it turns out!

The tax is for the entire stay so they may check on departure (not arrival). We weren’t checked either but given the low cost and risks associated with it, we just preferred flot follow the rules. how they deployed this tax is honestly a disaster in my opinion.

I'm not sure why neither of us could think of the word "calamari". It was so weird. Maybe it's because they just tasted like deep fried elastics, not calami. Thanks for watching!

It's an odd feeling to be recognized, but I don't hate it :) Thank you for watching!

¡Hola! Lamentablemente no he podido visitar el Barceló Maya Rivera (¿todavía?), así que no puedo comparar. Ojalá un día.

Definitivamente el Grand Paraíso

Thank you. I remember their installation costs were really high. It’s honestly not that complicated to install. A good local handyman can do it at a fraction of the cost of CC. Best of luck with your future chicken adventure. Make sure you check out my video about lesson learned.

Merci. complètement d'accord. J'adore cette endroit.

Thanks for watching and your comment. We try to keep these videos super casual, almost like inviting viewers into our home, and whatever happens happens. Toby gets mixed reactions from people and i can appreciate both sides. I'll try to reduce his involvement in future videos though.

Hi! Yes, the pool at the villa (at least when we go) is sooo cold, it's nearly unusable. My wife won't get in it, and i only go in it to say I took advantage of the pool, but otherwise, no, it's crazy cold (like, probably in the 40s or 50s cold). The private pool is definitely not a reason to stay in a villa. The private space around the pool, absolutely.

Hi! We've only been there over new years (End dec, beginning Jan) so we can't comment on the seaweed situation in May, but i believe that's considered sargassum season. Luckily the beach is kept very clean of any seaweed so if you're just lounging on the beach, you'll be fine.
