Tracy's Southern Ingenuity
United States
เข้าร่วมเมื่อ 21 เม.ย. 2011
Hey y'all! I'm Tracy, and this is Southern Ingenuity with a twist. I'm passionate about life in the North East Texas, but I also love pushing boundaries and exploring new ways of doing things. I am addicted to learning and often find myself reinventing the wheel, oh well. If you watch long enough you will see that I typically have to do things three times to get it right but I learn a lot on the way. On this channel, you'll find a mix of everything that makes me tick - from building projects and off-road adventures to real estate tips and philosophical musings. So grab a sweet tea, pull up a chair, and let's get to work (and play)!
