Daughter Eva's Latest Video th-cam.com/video/IhFYX3h6bZY/w-d-xo.htmlsi=EdwTGEcLBhUgvwTa
Sorry Mike watched Daughter Eva's video first. 😃
Too many coinsedenses. This really looks like a coordinated failure.
No argument about the many security failures. The family of the retired fireman who was killed deserves a full explanation and any help that they may need.
One of Trumps donners gave the family 1 million dollars. His wife was grateful but would rather have her hubby back.
Eva is a good role model for young ladies. Great parenting mom and dad.
Good Sunday morning everyone!
Mike, I use a spray I get off Amazon called Critter Out and it works well. I use it in my engine compartments on the tractor, mower, cars and boat. Haven’t had any issues with them messing with wiring since I started using four or five years ago.
lots of negative reviews on that Critter Out product, doesn't work. Read the one star reviews
@@mikegraziano1562 Interesting it has work well for me, for several years.
Good morning everyone. Checking in from beautiful Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada 🇨🇦.
Where at? Used to work in Corner Brook and Wabush in the 70's. Checking in from Sydney, Nova Scotia, Canada
Even tho we disagree on politics to a certain extent (I prefer infrastructure bills as opposed to more tax cuts for the rich for example and I would never hire someone who can't even run a casino successfully to be in charge of the store) I do love your content and watch your videos all the time. It's sad this country has allowed the propagandists from both sides to divide us like it has. Maybe one day we can all realize we are just people and freedom is way better than authoritarianism and we might once again live peaceably with each other. Until then I fear it will continue to be a rocky road. But as I said, I love your videos and they are a wonderful buffer in all this conflict! There's a certain peacefulness to them.
My thoughts exactly sir
Good morning everyone!
Mike watching you work with your machines is like watching a ballet. I love to watch you work. Love the VLOGs.
I agree. I just started learning to work with skid steers, mini excavator and tractor in my pre-retirement. If I ever become 25% as good as Mike I will consider that a monumental achievement.
Good Sunday Morganing, friends!
Who ever thought that Blueford would turn out to be an impulse buy? lol. He looks a little sad-sack parked back there.
I would suggest that Mike use his local school that has a mechanics class. The students need something to work on and Blueford has the time and the need to be better. Usually parts and a donation is the cost and different areas can benefit from this project. Paint and body, tires, hydraulic, welding. A win win adventure for all and Blueford lives again!
Funny, I had exactly the same thought. I have a tired old Subaru Outback I use as my dump run vehicle.
Hi Mike , Don't put the baits in the Excavator as it will attack the mice in to the engine bay.. Use empty plastic containers with holes small enough for the mice to get in. We place them all around the house and machinery,
Personally I believe they allowed it to happen. The gunshots sound different to me in the first 8 shots. Video shows that only 5 shell casings were found on the roof top, yet the FBI Director said there were 8 shell casings on the rooftop. Things aren’t adding up. Allowing the government to investigate itself will never produce answers. We need accountability in government. I will be voting for Trump in November. I just pray that our country will unite and stop being so divided. ❤️🇺🇸
EXACTLY! Snap traps are my preferred weapon. But same logic, I try and bait away from what I am protecting.
Good morning y'all !!! Have a wonderful Sunday, and hello from British Columbia.
Good morning Morgans and friends. Have a blessed Sunday everyone!!
Good morning friend , wishing you a peaceful Sunday 🙏😸😺
Michael!😊
Hi Michael!
Love smell of Red Oak in the morning 😊
@@oldmanfred8676 Hi Fred!
Your right Mike, it doesn't take but a minute or two to get acclimated to the split fire splitter again and your in full swing. The more i watch you on the Vermeer "Mini Beast" the more i like it, it's amazing the things you can do with it. I told some of the commenters when they said they could not see why you would buy such machine, i said give it time, i have learned, sit back and watch a few videos and his use will inform us how great it is for his operation, and how many tasks it will perform. Like excellent for hauling to West Virginny :) and work among the close quarters of the white oaks and such. Mike checks things out, researches thoroughly and puts a pencil [the math] to it, and if he buys it, it will fit his operation, not only as a time saver, but economical, and versatile as well :) I have seen enough to say, The Vermeer is great for Outdoor with the Morgan's operation: :) ❤💯🙏
Mike put about 1 or 2” of molasses in a 2 gallon bucket and place bucket where you see mice in sheds or by equipment.
Mice like sweet of molasses and the sulfur will help keep odor down if You catch one. Get a pair of tongs to pick mouse out to dispose…
That yellow tag on your mini skids forks make me think of the price tag that was always on Mini Pearls hat. Guess that is telling my age a bit.
The way I get rid of mice and squirrels is with peppermint oil and cotton balls. Wear rubber gloves, take peppermint oil and dab a cotton ball with oil. Put 5-6 soaked cotton balls in the engine compartment. Rodent will run from the smell. Works in the atic of your house or garage. BTW, You guys are amazing parents and grand parents❤
Mike, i'm told that Tom Cat mouse deterrent works really well. You can get it in different forms at your local big box store. It has peppermint and cinnamon in
it both of which mice hate
No surprise that our Local,State,and Federal Government has failed……they have been failing us all along
Keep worshipping government and looking to others to solve YOUR problems
Mike place some Peppermint Extract in your equipment engine compartment.
You may not want it in the cab. It is somewhat strong.
Have a day Mike and Melisa
Take good care of your equipment and they will last a long time, same for your vehicles
Good morning everyone nice job always I appreciate your doing 🎉❤
I always enjoy the washing and maintenance you do on your equipment. No scratches from working in the woods that's amazing. 👍👍
The Vermeer looks like a great yard machine, rainy days and cold blustery days. You might want the tractor but otherwise the Vermeer looks good. I’m not sure when you keep praising it. Are you trying to convince us or yourself I think for what you’re doing here is excellent.
GREATEST ,CLEANEST ,MOST ENTERTAINING ,USEFUL CHANNEL ON TH-cam PERIOD.........
You will never hear the truth about this.
Well said, I don’t believe we will ever know
We may if Trump gets back in office. With emphasis on may.
It’s pretty obvious to us that know but your right on target 🎯, we will never be told the truth, and Rep and Dems are all crooked!
@@justsaynrush9689 hopefully 🤞🏼
In about 60 years
That buck better watch get this picture made that often
Put moth balls packets in engine compartment well keep mice out 😢👍🏻
I am way behind on splitting, Had a busy summer. Thank you, Mike, you're a great inspiration.
Hey Mike, get yourself a yard cat. Best mouse trap ever.
Time for Melissa to get a farm cat to protect the wood yard and equipment😁
I thought the Morgans had a cat
Mike calls it BOB 😂😂😂
Nice buck .
Mike, you are getting very proficient with the split fire…fun and production
Excellent mike cheers 🥂 😊
I will have to watch the video from Eva tonight. I am looking forward to it. Her hair is getting long. Hi Hunter.
Hi Mike, I wouldn’t put poison in or by the machine, cause then your just using the bait for attracting mice. They don’t die right away after eating it. They will tell the others and then they will make nests in the excavator. Only saying this by experience. I like to spray my machines with a light coating of WD-40. The outer part of the machine. Wherever you think they will climb up onto it. Mice and others rodents don’t like the smell and don’t like to get their feet oiled. Got this trick from an old time farmer. Hope that helps. John from NY.
Dan Bongino has some pretty good insights into all of this. It's a sad state of affairs for our nation, when something like this can be allowed to happen 😢
Dan Bongino? Well, now I know alI need to.
I’m sure it will be truthful and unbiased and based solely on factual evidence and not opinion.
@@davidbehnke4417 I like Bongino even though he gets pretty fired up. He does have a unique expertise on this sort of thing.
@@thomasstrout1738 what would that unique expertise be?
@@davidbehnke4417seeing as how he’s former secret service and conservative, yeah I’d say it’s truthful. What are you insinuating?
Mike you should do some lifting tests with the 4020. Looks like a great tractor but would be nice to know if how full of a basket it could handle
Thank you Mike for using your quite considerable platform to speak about this- one of the reasons our country is so divided, too many say “ I don’t want to get political “. Take care🇺🇸
WDYT I think first 3 shots were a pro at distance or in a building. The 5 shots was an ar. If I was doing the planning I would not have let the kid shot first. The white van was some ones back up plan if the kid didn't get put down.
Every three months I place bait in 3 inch PVC pipe sections that I strategically leave around my farm. We have not had any varmints or critters damage any equipment since. Before, I had thousands of dollars worth of repairs that were not easy to fix. I learned that to outsmart a ground squirrel, a rat or a mouse that you have to give them a tunnel to hide in so the PVC is the ideal place to put the bait.
Mike get you some Grandpa Gus mouse repellant good stuff. Stay safe and keep hydrated
I agree with Mike & Eva: I’ll pass on the tent.
A very nice example of the Odocoileus virginianus buck in the forest on your property. Not nearly as big as the ELK you will see on your "out West" hunt in the coming months. Biggest Muley I saw while in Colorado (photographed, but not shot) was estimated by Wildlife Biologist to weigh 300+ pounds, with 18 points and a 38" spread. One of 100, he said!
Mikey your firewood operation is almost as good as mine!….I do excavating work and sell one maybe two hundred cords a season and have the excavator splitter for about 8 years or so….that said the key to the operation is to do the cutting of the rounds in the fall when it cools off…..then put the splitter on the excavator and quarter them into say 50 pound splits all winter when it’s warm in the mini…( you following me)….make a mountain of splits so they start drying the whole time while you make firewood from march on and then you have the rotation going.
We just got a new Sheetz in my hometown, and I understand why the Huntman likes it. Mike, you're a great guy and a great dad. Another great video.
Repurpose the plastic tank inside the tote to make a roof to cure firewood works great. Cut bottom foot off tank, slit the 4 corners and wash toughly. Thet last for years and set tote on some scrap splits on one side to create a Slope for tote to shed water. No need to shed totes. The few inches of exposed cord wood dries so fast after rain/thaw it's a non-issue. Don't pack tote's tight to walls or each other for good air flow. Place totes on a protected side of building to quill driving rains.
Keep that expensive roof area for better use. Oh, and don't wrap sides of totes. Run a few that way and you'll see how well it works. Esp. if your kiln drying to Finnish. Getting a moisture prob is a good investment now that your running lumber & checking firewood is a bonus. Have a blessed day and thank God for Trum p's protection. Kenmann
I started using these rodent repellent bags from Tractor supply, they smell like cedar oil. Seems to work well and you don’t have to worry about the pups getting into a poisoned mouse.
Red wood oak has large cell structures and holds more 'water' in the wood and sends it to the limbs for more leaves and ring building on the trunks and limbs.
Dogs don't sweat. Panting is their on-board air conditioner.
Just read an article about Japanese stilt grass in whitetail news. It said it can be controled in your food plots with 16 fluid ounces of Arrest Max when it's 4 to 6 inches tall. SureFire must be included. A second application should be done to treat the regrowth.
Put some bounce dryer sheets in there, mice don’t like the smell, you could stick a couple in behind the water tank and some wires and areas where they won’t get hot, but I’ve used that on cars and equipment. I’ve been storing for years and it seems to help a little as a deterrent.
You spoke of a mouse, in Texas, the mice and other vermin can really do a number on us and the wording in our cars and tractors. I use some chips or shredded bark, dry as I can make it, and douse it in peppermint oil. Fill an old sock with about a baseball size ball of the bark and put that high up in the engine bay. It won’t catch fire as long as you are away from the exaust, and repels most four legged critters for about six or so months at a treatment. My two pennys, hope I helped, enjoy!
Nice Vid!
G'day from Far North Queensland. Mike, a few years ago we had mice do some heavy duty damage to the plastic insulation around the electricals on a couple of our Massey Ferguson tractors.
I use dryer sheets stashed in various places on my tractors and 4 wheelers. Rodents don't seem to want anything to do with them...
Something noteworthy is your Splitfire excavator mounted wood splitter. You have an efficient method of splitting the large rounds. Have a great day.
Fresh Cab rodent repellent has worked well in my equipment.
I see a Robin’s nest in ur down spout on y’all covered patio.
85 degrees this morning in Western Oregon. Feels great, and the cooler temps will aid the firefighters thru out the state. We have a number of Hugh firs burning!
You’re getting good with that little bulldozer.
Mike, you have mad skills for every machine that you touch. i’m always amazed how well everything works
Hats off to you sir, you've got a great plan and know how to work it......roy🤠
You are so right Mike about the mouse, got into the engine of our vehicle and we had to replace the electronic harness because it chewed threw so much wire over one weekend, just one weekend. They can cause havoc.
Had mice in my engine bay. Learned that peppermint oil from health store 20 drops in a spray bottle of water. Spray engine compartment every couple months. Rats, mice, squirrels, chipmunks, etc HATE the smell of peppermint. It works !
Have a blessed day .. tks for your videos .. always interesting and humbling !! CHEERS from Québec 🇨🇦
Mike, have you noticed the bird nest on the downspout at the barn? Probably empty this late in the season but still will attract insects.
I see Mullen growing behind your big wood bunker. Does Malissa make any natural remedies? Mullen is good for congestion, clearing lungs. Great weed to have around!
Love your video, we watch them all.
As an experiment I would suggest putting forks on the new tractor and try lifting one of the oak wood basket. You might not be able to lift it high enough to dump it into the trailer, but I have a 35hp Mahindra that is similar size and I can lift a full basket 6 or 8 inches to move it around. I do have rear ballast weight when I do.
Good Morning Morgan Family 🌞- Have a Wonderful and Blessed Sunday 🤠. We got some rain out here in Montana this morning. It’s a tough fire season this year in the West.
Nice attachment !! I like Your Ford Truck about 7 minutes into the video !!
Yeah the head of the Secret Service already had to resign after the hearings but like you say it's hard to say whether anybody else will resign or get fired you might see a couple of the local law enforcement gets suspended or something but I would say that would be it
The person that moved up in the Secret Service to the top, was the person on charge of the protection details. I do not expect any improvement because of the advancement.
My brother had an F250. His wire harness was made with wires covered with soy based insulators. Mice love to eat them. It was a couple thousand dollars to fix due to the level of damage.
Mike I said the Same thing Friday. It was 53° here. Half way between Binghamton and Syracuse. Fall is coming early as Spring did..🙂 I take the little cooler weather. Not ready for the next season😂
Good morning Morgans Family another beautiful day. Can't wait to see the video in a bit here.
Thanks Mike!!
Everything Shaping Up Nicely!!
Keep Smiling On!!
😅👍👊❤️
Sooner or later Levi got to carry the torch anyway
Failures at every level means intentional over sight.
Eva looks like her mom😊
A trick to keep the mice out of the engine compartment of cars / heavy equipment etc. Use an old prescription container (plastic pill bottle,) drill just a couple holes (3 - 4) with a 1/8" in. (0.125" in.) Use some peppermint oil, pour on / over a cotton ball (don't drown it with the peppermint oil, just a couple of drops) place the cotton balls into the pill bottle, place and or tape some where in the engine compartment. Rinse and repeat every 4 (four) to 6 (six) months. The only thing your doing is pouring more peppermint oil onto the cotton ball. A tell tale sign if you need to "service" the cotton ball, is can you smell the peppermint oil, if not time for more THE MICE HATE THE peppermint oil.
Mike ,a silly question but needs to be asked, was watching Levi ,stretching fence. I'm scratching my head when he said" he went to harbor freight to buy a come a long " don't you have a come a long ?
Hard to find a come along now at a store
Hi Mike, I appreciate the content you all put out. Great stuff!
Regarding Mice and rodents in equipment: I’ve tried poison, moth balls, Irish spring soap, mint oil etc. 1 thing has worked and worked amazingly: Cayenne Pepper. You can get a big container of it and sprinkle it around in engine bays. Only side effect is a little bit of taco smell when engine warms up. Try it. It works amazingly
I can't vouch for the validity of this procedure, but I use it anyway. I store my Kubota TG1860 mower and my Kubota MX4700 tractor inside an enclosed barn. I leave both hoods up, having been told that mice don't like the open exposure. I also have one of those sonic devices plugged into one of the outlets. So far, so good with no chewed up wiring or trailer damage that I know of.
Mike , am very happy to see how adept you have become with the split force moving those big heavy rounds around. Back in the early days of watching you and Melissa moving rounds around , I would sometimes worry about you guys . I now have a bunch ( 20 ) of metal whatever’s ( multiple fusion surgeries ) holding my lower back together from doing similar activities.
Fresh Cab rodent repellent, or Grandpa Gus mouse repellent works GREAT for keeping mice away!
MIKE====>>> Various manufacturers use soy-based wiring in some vehicles to be eco-friendly. However, some consumers have reported problems with this type of wiring, primarily arising from rodents chewing the wires.
Don’t know if this is the case here but in my experience when something goes wrong in a high security situation, the investigation progress and results are rarely publicized. They may present a summary of the findings but it will likely be short on detail. They don’t want to give away too many procedural details.
Use mothballs to repel insects and mice
Happy Sunday Morgan's ~ Always a Big Treat to watch your video on Sunday morning's ~
It's hard to imagine the security being worse. It would almost have to be tighter.
i really like the way you take care of your equipment always looks great
Nice work at your sister’s place! ✌🏼❤️🙏🏼
Peppermint spray works great to prevent mice and other vermin issues.
Good to hear on the ground intel. Thanks for the update. Interesting to hear how the local authorities are handling this (or not handling)
Mike, I’ve been thinking about setting up a shifting bar to get some top soil. As soon as we’re done with the trees
It’s a willing negligences … government employees all vote one way.
I like videos like that, some wood splitting, some dirt moving, and a little BS session.
Dont use poison if you can avoid it. Your dogs might get ahold of it. We use some kind of peppermint spray AND cakes made from peanut butter and baking soda. Evidently, rodents cant burp up the gas and they burst
