Trading some waverunners for a boat, then taking it out for a ride. Then getting another free boat, fixing the fuel system and taking it for a test ride.
Amazing how he doesn't loose his temper. Includes all the mistakes and can fix anything and always has time to scratch a dog behind the ears. Keep up the good work.
14:40 in Paris France. Worked a 12 hrs nightshift, can't get any sleep. Best thing of the day: getting a TH-cam notification about an Andrew Camarata video coming up... 😎🍿
If you want guaranteed sleep, you should watch some monotonous in cab footage of an excavator digging out a pond or culvert...that will put you to sleep pretty fast 🤣🙈
Nice free boat, the reason the water splashes over/around the front of the boat is the outboard trim is set too low, there is a pin on the engine mount that pulls out (different holes there to set it differently) and allows the bow to ride up higher with the prop pushing up a bit higher, you will find the boat is faster as well. Newer ones have electric trim with a push of a button. Good find!
Love the boat launch. I love how you're not afraid to show us when you make a mistake. Keep up the awesome work. I really look forward to these videos.
@@doddgarger6806 Yea, I thought the same thing. Really good parenting on his mom and dad's part. He definitely enjoys fixing things. Better than drugs oar booze. He reminds me of myself in my teens and 20's.
yeah, good to see a life jacket on Levi. A bit confused why the humans didn't have life jackets when the dog has one though. However good you're driving Andrew, some idiot could run into you!
When Andrew is on his own he is duly safety conscious - At 26:10 "since I'm going out by myself" backup motor taken along as an aid and jinx repellent. At 27:26 lifejacket being worn
fredrikg120 I’ve seen quite a few boating accidents where having a life jacket got people killed. People taking off from a party cove, drunk and running over the people from the sunken boat. People without life jackets were able to dive under the boats, so they survived. People with life jackets got hit and killed. It was a strange one where everyone with a life jacket got a major injury or death, but those without life jackets were uninjured.
He has a video of him towing his friends camper that made me laugh for 10 minutes. He does a 180 degree tow turn that will make you laugh your balls off, because you are saying to yourself - How the hell is he going to tow that camper from that direction? That is what makes it so funny, and he bends the hell out of the bumper on the camper. I laughed my balls off, that was the funnies moment I've ever seen in his videos. I never see that video coming up in a search again, but it's a classic.....
Yeah, I found myself thinking "don't forget to get the rails..yeah, get the window and how about the..oh you're getting the carpet now". Sad..I need to get a project of my own.
I also wanted him to pressure wash the outside of that gas tank and the transom area he shop vacc'ed. Not that it would make any difference in my life... but still, I was disappointed that he didn't, or at least didn't video it.
i think its funny. Like, he films himself pulling into the driveway alot.....so is he pulling in, setting up the camera, pulling out again just to roll back up? Little things like that. Filming DOES make everything take longer. the behind the scenes stuff i imagine is quite tedious.
Andrew ya gotta trim your bow up cause your plowing. Nice boat for Levi n your gal friend. good job, the Merc Thunderbolt was a simple motor to work on and doesn't seem to have been used in saltwater.
awesome! getting it done on the cheap. your simple calm approach to any problem is great and i never laughed so much on a boating video. thank you for taking the time to video theese adventures and your hard work.
ill get mad and throw shit, then my little brother will walk like 20 yards away and smoke his cigarette and look at me wierd till he thinks ive calmend down, not mad at him just what ever isnt doing what i want it to,
@B O B Spelled backwards depends , if i have to have it its safe from from a ball bat or what ever is laying around, if i actually paid some money for it same, im not a mechanic by no means , just a shade tree
These videos are the best. Very genuine. Of all of his videos, I have watched I only heard him curse twice. After some of the things I have seen he comes up against that is one of a kind young man. At my age, I will not see where he is in his life in ten years but you can bet he will do well.
You had me laughing so hard! You might want to tilt the engine up a little bit and it will bring the bow up over the water to increase planning and decrease water resistance. Trust me, it works wonders! That motor probably doesn't have the feature so you'll have to figure how much tilt manually. It will surely increase speed dramatically. Double check that transom will you? Great video!!!!
Good morning Andrew and Levi! You really are great at turning old pigs ears into silk purses lol 😂 stay safe and stay dry unless it’s intended wetness like Levi loves! Thanks for so many great video’s lately, I can never get enough AC entertainment.
I like how the dog doesn’t need a life jacket until the girl is present. Next time she’s gonna make you keep the boat hooked to the trailer until it’s in the water, you just watch!
Why am I addicted to this channel? Great filming - I loved the clock so you could see how long everything was taking, all the things you tried out, and even an education. It's amazing!
That Invader was like the first boat I was going to buy. But ended up getting a bass boat as I did a lot more fishing back then. Good job and great video.
Yes, it is hard to believe he is not another "filmmaker filming films about filming" youtuber, but a real deal greasy-face mechanic first(I mean that as a compliment)!

I did the same thing years ago when I bought a new boat that had a roller trailer. My previous boat had a bunk trailer which was a bitch to unload. I was used to disconnecting the winch so I did the same thing with the new boat. When I backed down the ramp it rolled off the trailer just like Andrew's boat. I owned the boat with my brothers so I told them not to disconnect the winch. Next time I went to put the boat in the lake, my brother was with, and I didn't notice that he disconnected it from the winch. Back on the ground again! We still laugh about that! Boat ramps are a fun way to spend a day. Lots of interesting things happen there.
I thought I heard wrong at first lol, then I remembered that his whole shop's made of shipping containers... As a wood worker, I got triggered REEEEEeeeeee
This is the best of all the Camarata videos I've seen because I've never seen him so happy and carefree. His other videos are all serious and lacking interactions with other people. Here I can get a little peek of his personality and it really shines. The F bomb is only the 2nd time I've ever heard a discouraging word on one of these which indicated to me that he's one of the guys. It makes me feel good to see him enjoy himself as much as Levi seemed to in the first boat. I started something new. When I buy a used lawnmower or whatnot. I bring along a "Bill of Sale" form and write the seller's name, the make, model and serial number of the thing I'm buying, then pay the seller after he signs it. Its my insurance against being caught with a stolen item aka adverse possession. Teak and marine plywood work well on boats and wow those drug dealers have nice boats. I was surprised that you attempted to take that first boat out without checking the lower unit oil or the condition of the gasoline because water is the one place that I can't walk home on. I wonder if the carburetors on the first boat just needed cleaning. The second boat should have a bigger bilge pump. The one in the transom looked like it came from someone's home aquarium. Down here everyone knows that B.O.A.T stands for Bust Out Another Thousand. Everything on those engines is outrageously expensive and is probably why the guy who got the first boat put another engine in it. Thanks for sharing. I'm done with the rambling on this topic.
Good video! Love to see a man fix stuff. I told my son to learn how to fix things and you’ll always be able to make money. I am teaching him to do so. So many young men don’t know how to fix anything these days.
Stumbled across this video and watched the whole thing. So cool! You are a super handy guy to have around and I really enjoyed the video. So glad there was no real damage when the boat came off the trailer at the ramp! Yikes! I’m now a subscriber! 😉
Hey, I love your videos. This is what many do, and you reassured a group on several points. 1) Clean vs substitute a new gas tank, 2) what power wash can do, 3) knowing the basic marine engine parts.
A whole new meaning to "launch the boat"! Priceless! If you reset the motor one or two notches up, kinda like trimming the motor up, it will stop spraying so much water from the bow. Just don't set it too high it has a problem planing out. You will see an increase of speed also. ATB!
Hey man I love watching you bring these things back to life.I think i might start picking some up i know where some are lol.Thanks for sharing these videos with us
Watching Andrew turn something old and used into something usefull reminds me of my Dad he never purchased anything new from vehicles to lawnmowers old tractors and we used the things he refurbished for years or untill he sold it thanks Andrew love your videos
yeah, that saying is gonna have to change to two days a Boat owner regrets; the day he buys a used boat then the day he sees Andrew getting it running after you gave it away for free.
One of the worst days of my life was taking a $75,000 hit on my boat after being forced to sell it due to other people not paying me. 44' 17 ton, ten berth, displacement Dutch steel river/open water cruiser. Total live aboard, shore power, Genny, 4.5kw inverters. 12v 24v 110 volt 220 volt. She never missed a beat. 3 wind surfers on the main cabin roof, 2 kayaks on the bathing platform. Pulled a 4.5m rib and two sailing dingys. Satellite TV. Dual helm. Perfectly balanced, never even needed the bow thruster. Hell no... One of the worst days of my life and I will never get back to the glorious holidays and weeks I spent there with my family and friends.
The moment you put a lifejacket on the dog, I liked a lot, right after the coolness of the socket tool in the tire. After that, you nailed in the drone and music editing thing. It's born a great TH-camr, down to earth background, roots and great surroundings. Cheers, subscribed.
This is the most realest boat video I've ever seen. All the mistakes. All the thoughts said out loud. I know I've skidded a boat down a ramp. Levi with him the whole time. Great video!
I Like your video's, can't wait to see more of the garage work. I saw the Mercury outboard motor you repaired. I saw you check the lower unit. In case your not sure about changing the gear oil. I too did it wrong before someone corrected me. The screw in the bottom is for draining, but it will not drain well at all unless you loosen the vent screw. Sort of like putting your thumb over a straw with water in it, it want drain until you release your thumb. While the vent screw is out, you pump the heavy duty oil, in from the bottom drain hole until it come out the vent. Put the vent screw back in, that will closes the flow from coming out the drain hole until you get the screw in. This may be helpful for some of your viewers who has never done it before. I found out you can't put it in the vent hole, at all. It has to go in the bottom as crazy as that sounds. Waiting to see more new video's.
As a viewer, it'd almost be a bummer if Andrew bought a brand new piece of equipment that didn't require cleaning or fixing up. I look forward to those parts.
Would be the most boring vid on this channel .... Andrew loves to fix and repair stuff and if it old school, even better. I think he earns enough to buy a new excavator ... but this is not happening. He enjoy servicing and taking care of his stuff
@@38911bytefree Andrew has said before. Like us, with all the sensors and programs and things. The new stuff is much harder The old stuff can still be fix relatively cheap. Mechanics today are computer tech first. He loves to see it fixed. His ldea of a New truck, is 20 yrs old at least
Andrew : let's go pick up a free Army tank. Let's clean it and figure out why it won't start.......10 minutes later......rumbling thru NY country side. That's why I love to see your videos. Thank you Andrew
Martin Myrdal in most motor’s, there is a pin that you can set that limits how low the motor can trim down. You set this based on the individual setup. Most new boats are set up by the dealer and is based on different factors including prop pitch and whether the nose plows etcetera. If the transom is rotten, it can flex to the point it will negate the original setting (or it could be it was changed by a previous owner). You want the bow up a bit in the beginning to get on plane... but not too much. Once up on plane, you will trim the motor up a little at a time to give a better ride and reduce fuel consumption and increase speed.
Your boat is plowing - There's a pin in the motor mount that allows you to change the angle the motor sits relative to the boat. You need to move the pin out one or two holes and it'll raise the bow so it doesn't plow.
My son died at 24 years old. Your family is blessed to have you. I know you and your dad are close. Thats great. He is a lucky dad. Have a blessed day. Great videos. Thanks for sharing. I watch them all.
Literally about the hardest I've laughed at a video in a while.... "THAT... Didn't got that smooth." As the boat gets pushed down the ramp after it falls off the trailer. Love it!
I sat through the whole video and was amazed how you did not even use 1 swear word. I would have pulled out my hair 1/4 way through. Enjoyed the video very much. Had thought about fixing up boats... Living in the Seattle area there would be lots of work and fun
Amazing how he doesn't loose his temper. Includes all the mistakes and can fix anything and always has time to scratch a dog behind the ears. Keep up the good work.

Only one never making mistakes is sitting on the couch never doing anything,, even then most likely brake potato chips off in the dip

Loving Levi’s life jacket with helping handle ... brilliant and I know loads of others will be so pleased to see it too. Good man 👍👍👍👍
After losing him under the dock a couple vids ago, he's ready for a life jacket
We had one for our elderly lab. It really helped when it was time to get in the car!

What about when his wheel falls of and is rolling beside him and he points the camera and says “ there goes my wheel”
How could I have forgotten that one? Or J. Wales comment. Classic Andrew. LOL
thank you bringing this gem to my attention.
this guy is professional, focused, hard working, and a complete disaster which in my book makes him fucking awesome.
One trip on the water ‘it’s my friends boat now. I’m kinda over it’. I just about pissed myself I was laughing so hard
😁🤣
When you're a man with lots of toys.. this moment happens a lot.
Next video be like: "Bought this PLANE here today. Motor don't work too good. Let's take it out for a spin"
Lol
That actually made me laugh
🤣 for real it wouldn’t surprise me coming from Andrew haha
This comment is hilarious
Captain Sullenberger already pulled that one off in that same river, back in '09.
Pressure washing the boat was more satisfying than I care to admit.
Yeah, I found myself thinking "don't forget to get the rails..yeah, get the window and how about the..oh you're getting the carpet now". Sad..I need to get a project of my own.
Yes, slow no that shiz
I also wanted him to pressure wash the outside of that gas tank and the transom area he shop vacc'ed. Not that it would make any difference in my life... but still, I was disappointed that he didn't, or at least didn't video it.
@@Redwingster I was thinking the exact same thing.
Should pressure wash all areasthat you can get to in the bilges also!
34:29 That's one way to launch a boat. No trailer or water required.
Happened to me before, if i was standing behing the boat id be dead rn carpet is no joke slidessss
I write the exact same thing😂🤣
@SISSY Sue Brett PANTYSISSY 34:29 That’s still one way to launch a boat. Still no trailer or water required.
Just like the fish

That is the A C classic comment of the day!
But... not over it too long to go get another free one.
Were you the guy in the video?
justasoldier1611
Nope but I wouldn’t mind boating on the Hudson with AC and Levi!
nope, classic comment was when he said, " i guess those are pretty rolly, its in the water though " LOL
Seemed to give up on it pretty quick....seemed like a lot of potential there.
Andrew ya gotta trim your bow up cause your plowing. Nice boat for Levi n your gal friend. good job, the Merc Thunderbolt was a simple motor to work on and doesn't seem to have been used in saltwater.
34:28 Worst thing to ever happen at a boat ramp and all andrew said is "well that didn't go that smooth..."! I like this dude!!!
I was wondering who's drone was flying after my yacht.
“Levi and I are on the way to get a free boat.” Levi: Oh, not again...
Levi seems to be a good judge of boats. Good idea to check it over at home before hitting the water.
LOL, my first thought. ;-D
Where is Levi's captain's hat, he deserves one ;). We all know who is the real captain ;)
"Hey Levi let's go to the open sea with this free boat!"
Levi: "😰"
😬
@Viktor Sligo Yes I am definetly a bigger landlubber than Levi 🤣
18:00 Nice idea to add a clock during the time lapse. XD So we can see how long you were really working.
At first I was wondering why there was a huge wall clock sitting there :P
He should find a few dozen clocks and place them in shots, Then we all can name them and look for the Easter eggs of Clocks!
Best and most patient work attitude ever! Andrew is awesome, love these videos.

Hi Andrew great videos I'm big fan. There's a adjustable pin on the engine that allows you to trim bring the bow up take care the the spray problem.
You have great hands able to fix things . Leaving the life. Bless you .
great show, ive been watching it for the last 8 days none stop
LoL, reminds me of going to the boat ramp on Sundays and taking a chair and just watching
Good job getting Levi a life vest!
Stumbled across this video and watched the whole thing. So cool! You are a super handy guy to have around and I really enjoyed the video. So glad there was no real damage when the boat came off the trailer at the ramp! Yikes! I’m now a subscriber! 😉
Hey, I love your videos. This is what many do, and you reassured a group on several points. 1) Clean vs substitute a new gas tank, 2) what power wash can do, 3) knowing the basic marine engine parts.
A whole new meaning to "launch the boat"! Priceless! If you reset the motor one or two notches up, kinda like trimming the motor up, it will stop spraying so much water from the bow. Just don't set it too high it has a problem planing out. You will see an increase of speed also. ATB!
This needs to be top comment.
That was the best boat launch I ever saw !!!! LMAO
Glad I kept watching to see that epic boat launch at the end LOL 😂😂😂😂 send it brother
Hey man I love watching you bring these things back to life.I think i might start picking some up i know where some are lol.Thanks for sharing these videos with us
Watching Andrew turn something old and used into something usefull reminds me of my Dad he never purchased anything new from vehicles to lawnmowers old tractors and we used the things he refurbished for years or untill he sold it thanks Andrew love your videos
Boat owner’s two favorite days:
The day he buys it, and the day he sells it 😂
User name checks.
yeah, that saying is gonna have to change to two days a Boat owner regrets; the day he buys a used boat then the day he sees Andrew getting it running after you gave it away for free.
@Mr. Boring on TH-cam, wrong. You've never owned a boat have you?
If you use them regularly and maintain them they aren’t that bad
One of the worst days of my life was taking a $75,000 hit on my boat after being forced to sell it due to other people not paying me.
44' 17 ton, ten berth, displacement Dutch steel river/open water cruiser. Total live aboard, shore power, Genny, 4.5kw inverters. 12v 24v 110 volt 220 volt. She never missed a beat. 3 wind surfers on the main cabin roof, 2 kayaks on the bathing platform. Pulled a 4.5m rib and two sailing dingys.
Satellite TV. Dual helm. Perfectly balanced, never even needed the bow thruster.
Hell no... One of the worst days of my life and I will never get back to the glorious holidays and weeks I spent there with my family and friends.
Hello from Yorkton, Saskatchewan, Canada. Great show’s thanks for sharing with us.
Your videos are seriously fantastic. You're not too far off a million subs too. You totally deserve it.
“I guess those are pretty rolley” or “that’s my friends boat now, I’m over it” lol best two lines of the video
This made me laugh pretty hard.
i would say more than a few unfortunately i cant take a hammer to it because most of the time its a customers lol
2491kridge so he flipped it ? Lol
“Motor works good....hold on maybe” was a good one too haha
The moment you put a lifejacket on the dog, I liked a lot, right after the coolness of the socket tool in the tire. After that, you nailed in the drone and music editing thing. It's born a great TH-camr, down to earth background, roots and great surroundings. Cheers, subscribed.
Michel Rodrigues thanks
This is the most realest boat video I've ever seen. All the mistakes. All the thoughts said out loud. I know I've skidded a boat down a ramp. Levi with him the whole time. Great video!
Thanks
I Like your video's, can't wait to see more of the garage work. I saw the Mercury outboard motor you repaired. I saw you check the lower unit. In case your not sure about changing the gear oil. I too did it wrong before someone corrected me. The screw in the bottom is for draining, but it will not drain well at all unless you loosen the vent screw. Sort of like putting your thumb over a straw with water in it, it want drain until you release your thumb. While the vent screw is out, you pump the heavy duty oil, in from the bottom drain hole until it come out the vent. Put the vent screw back in, that will closes the flow from coming out the drain hole until you get the screw in. This may be helpful for some of your viewers who has never done it before. I found out you can't put it in the vent hole, at all. It has to go in the bottom as crazy as that sounds. Waiting to see more new video's.
I've never ever seen anyone with a chainsaw wrench in a tire haha wow.
I used to work at a tire recycling plant, I saw it all, the best one was the T bone from a steak that went right through the tire.
Ran over a cheap butter knife on a dirt road and it poked the tire all the way through the tread block into the tire causing a leak.
And the way it missed the inner seal, 1 in a million
saw a piece of straw in a tire was leaking through the straw
Hey, Free Chainsaw scrench
Never seen a whole scrench in a tire and never seen anyone yank one out and keep driving.
Levi that life jacket looks good.
🇺🇸
34:31 hmmm..... never seen this method of boat launching. This must be a new technique!! Lmao 😂
Go to any Marina on a Sunday and you'll see FAR worse every 20 minutes.
@@shaenj Even less lmao
it was a slipway launch......
Ha ha a bit of ramp rash and it gets rid of the barnacles
Does the transom look a little weak when he is picking up the outboard or is it me?
12:20 Probably the most oddly satisfying thing I've seen in a while!
I always feel I got something
accomplished after Andrew gets stuff fixed . 😎👍👍
Wish l was Yong again again all the things you do takes me back,& the fun we had with a small speed boat l made my kids and dogs loved it.
Super cool vids! Thanks for taking the time to showcase your exploits and expertise! Car seat for the win!
As a viewer, it'd almost be a bummer if Andrew bought a brand new piece of equipment that didn't require cleaning or fixing up. I look forward to those parts.
Powersaw TH-camr Human. Breaks down brand new products. To see how its made. New. Then reassemble.
Would be the most boring vid on this channel .... Andrew loves to fix and repair stuff and if it old school, even better. I think he earns enough to buy a new excavator ... but this is not happening. He enjoy servicing and taking care of his stuff
@@38911bytefree Andrew has said before. Like us, with all the sensors and programs and things. The new stuff is much harder The old stuff can still be fix relatively cheap. Mechanics today are computer tech first. He loves to see it fixed. His ldea of a New truck, is 20 yrs old at least
Yep, I really thought the new gizmo for emptying fuel tanks would have got modified by now.
@@2H80vids I was surprised Andrew took it in the water that fast. That bein said ,he only did bc he knew he had assistance close by.
My favorite kind of boat is my buddy's boat!
Ok? What's your buddy's boat
It's white, it floats, and he's the one that keeps it running. The perfect boat!
Just like kids, best kind r ones that go home at end of day
Andrew you, your family, friends and dog are awesome!
Andrew : let's go pick up a free Army tank. Let's clean it and figure out why it won't start.......10 minutes later......rumbling thru NY country side. That's why I love to see your videos. Thank you Andrew
The pitch of the motor may fix the spray problem!! aloha
I would love to see that boat take off with the trim adjusted.
You can't fix the pitch when the transom is rotted and will fall out any minute.
Can you explain this to a noob? Is it suppposed to be adjusted so the bow is lower or higher to avoid the excessive spray? Thx!
Martin Myrdal in most motor’s, there is a pin that you can set that limits how low the motor can trim down. You set this based on the individual setup. Most new boats are set up by the dealer and is based on different factors including prop pitch and whether the nose plows etcetera. If the transom is rotten, it can flex to the point it will negate the original setting (or it could be it was changed by a previous owner). You want the bow up a bit in the beginning to get on plane... but not too much. Once up on plane, you will trim the motor up a little at a time to give a better ride and reduce fuel consumption and increase speed.
@@Cotton088 this old 65 is manual trim. There are 5 or 6 positions it could be set too, but the transom definitely needs beefed up.
Your boat is plowing - There's a pin in the motor mount that allows you to change the angle the motor sits relative to the boat. You need to move the pin out one or two holes and it'll raise the bow so it doesn't plow.
Yes what I was wondering.
I think the Whale Tale is causing the bow to plow
souliog yup. Whale tail pushes the engine up, so the bow down.
I wanted to say that also.
Damn that pressure washer works really good
wait to you use a pressure wash at 4000 PSI after 4 to 6 hours you do get tired LOLOL
Here the power of been confident, positive thinker, not a winer, optimistic.
Nothing this guy can't solve!!
Gladly subbed!!
My son died at 24 years old. Your family is blessed to have you. I know you and your dad are close. Thats great. He is a lucky dad. Have a blessed day. Great videos. Thanks for sharing. I watch them all.
@keelinga thank you. We lost David our only child. Became foster parents of 47kiddos. Adopted our daughter and another son. We are blessed.
I come for Andrew, and stay for Levi!!!!
Literally about the hardest I've laughed at a video in a while.... "THAT... Didn't got that smooth." As the boat gets pushed down the ramp after it falls off the trailer. Love it!
Don E. When the boat fell off the trailer I subscribed
Really good note on the old diaphragm fuel pumps👍.
Great drone filming!
Clunk, clunk, clunk.....hmm there's something in my tire...a 6" long socket tool...."Tires good"
that part had me deadddddd it was so funny haha
@RSSS68 Camaro Thanks Camaro, I thought about that after my comment, but it looked like one of the tools I got with a Yamaha 175 Enduro tool kit.
Chainsaw Bar wrench
someone left a tool out in the rain dont know if i can take it took so long to bake it lol only a few will get this old song lol
@Camaro 1968 scrench ?
LEVI DOING QUALITY TEST OF WATER!
As long as it's wet, it's fine by Levi.
@@jbz2079 True
Damn it was so satisfying to watch you restore and clean that boat and make it work good job
The clumsy boat guy.😁😁 at least its running. The dog vest the best thing ever👍👏
that old gas looks like a legit orange flavor gatorade.
Yeah
It does
Yeah
Andrew drinks it as coffee.
Love Levi beautiful dog , absolutely awesome getting the boats running enjoy my friend god bless
I sat through the whole video and was amazed how you did not even use 1 swear word. I would have pulled out my hair 1/4 way through. Enjoyed the video very much. Had thought about fixing up boats... Living in the Seattle area there would be lots of work and fun
Levi is such a sweet "good old ol'boy"! He and Sadie perfect for each other!!! I love your Channel. I subscribed, which is something I very seldom do.
