Brought my Son up alone since the little turd hopper was 18 months. He'll be 22 on Valentines day. It was and still is a blast. Raise your kids and spoil your Grandchildren, otherwise you will end up raising your Grandchildren. It's all in the prep. Have a gooder Christmas Bud.
Was never even sure I wanted kids until I had my daughter when I was 21. Best thing that ever happened to me. After I got off active duty, she's the only thing that kept me going through all the bouts of depression. Probably wouldn't be here today without her. Fatherhood is more far valuable than anything else you'll ever experience in life, despite what society would lead you to believe.
Since he was old enough to wipe his own ass my boy has been with me. He turns 21 in 4 months. Builds his own race cars and races against some of the best. Known when younger as that kid that even kid haters liked. So I gotta agree.
Well said brother, my wife stepped out when my Son was 8 months old. She left him with me full time, but I did not even hesitate. Kids don't sign up for adult drama. It was tough, but we did it. Huge kudos out to all the single dads that put their kids first. My Son is now 20 years old, and we are still best friends. One can't put a price on that, it means the world to me.
Look at this guy!...Splurging out on one of them fancy CO detectors when he's got a couple of perfectly good kids to tell him if they're feelin' a bit dizzy.
They also magically extrude far more mass in snot, poo and vomit than they consume in food and drink, yet still keep on expanding. I swear they suck all of the energy out if the food that I eat, yet I'm still the one getting fat.
@@trailblazer632 If you follow the big commercial extension cords all the way back to the beginning, they're all being charged that way. Just don't tell the tree huggers or you a cis white supremacist nazi capitalist cause yea got a functional brain unlike them.
If set up properly the generator would cause less pollution then just running a diesel vehicle. People always like to say well your tesla is powered by a coal fired power plant, what they dont realize they are not making the tesla look bad, they are making the powerplant look bad. Even a tesla getting charged off of straight coal is hundreds of time less carbon pollution then a diesel or gas counterpart. Most Coal plants are actually very clean energy sources per megawatt. But they are shutting them down cause they are demonized. Now whether or not the carbon matters, and all of America's energy efficiency push makes a fuck or is a drop in an endless sea. That's a differnt conversation
Hello tractor my old friend. It's good to sit on you again. In the snow while you were sleeping, The fireplace cracked and is leaking... And the pixies in your battery did slumber all the while. No smile. It's the sound, of don'ting.
There's nothing better after a long day truck driving across the lower 48 and once in awhile into Canada than to watch this man School me and cheer me up as he does on so many occasions thank you sir for all the great things you do that keep me getting up in the morning and moving forward!
"Now I know how Daisy feels. Nothing left but the clean up." I spit my coffee across the room. Don't know what your videos provide more of; knowledge, or commentary on life.
Good lord another gem from uncle bumble, "Children and women are a pain in the arse because THEY ARE WORTH IT" absolute gold. Keeping this for my future youngins thank you once again Uncle.
I bought a cheap Chinese steel wood stove about 10 years ago. Last summer I pulled it out and put a new one in, as you just couldn't get the old one to burn slowly. Turns out there's a nice 6 inch crach straight up the back of it, and 2 of the seams cracked open too. Gonna weld it up when I get round to it and then I've got me a workshop heater 😁
Mind you, burning old telegraph poles on it (used to recover crashed cars for a living, and I'd pick up the tree/fence/pole that the car damaged and stick it in the firewood pile) I have had the old stove glowing cherry red a few times
Started watching AVE years ago. Long before my wife and I met. Now we’ve got two little ones of our own. I’m still who I was, love to tinker, love gadgets and tools. But they are my real happiness now. Merry Christmas all you bastages!!!
Daisy was my last girls name, 14 years of good memories passed away last November, that's the only children I need. Not that you asked me but I'm pretty content with not having any curtain jerkers that I've been told about and I'd like to keep it that way.
"It sucks for everyone. Just keep puttin' one foot in front of the other and bam you're done. On to the next one" Very wise words, sir. We all get overwhelmed at some point or another. The old gent who mentored me said it a bit different. "Brick walls are built one brick at a time. Just keep laying the next brick and don't worry about the 'wall'."
You just made my day better. I needed to smile. Stressed straight the hell out. But now I'm remembering that I have it better than some so I don't have a right to complain. I'm not cold or hungry. So I guess I'm doing alright
AvE,after having the blessing of two of my own and then borrowing four more I can say that I've been raising children into adults most of my life,since the first born was in highschool hmmm...but staying committed throughout life I'm now 61 and and have many a memory both good and bad to nail on the wall. I wouldn't trade a minute of it for fame nor fortune. Merry Christmas to you and the Boss and the wee ones, not so wee anymore cause dammit ya feed them they just just keep coming back. 😁👍 Thanks my friend for another year of amusements from the mind of the northern canookistaian...All the best👍
@@LilleyAdam if your young enough,I started when I was 38, As long as your past qualifies to be a care giver and I do understand that states are different to that aspect. But the bottom line is...this kids need a place and to know that their safe and can have a life as little or as much as you can give.Its not money,they need to know that they have someone to go-to and be loved,most kids that are in the system don't know what that is or why would you want to do that for me , As these are just a few of things you'll encounter along your way. It's emotional it's spiritual and in the end it's a awesome to know that there is people like yourselves that want to help and give these children a home they can call their own. Love & Respect and blessings to your family . 👍❤️🙏
Honestly, if it wasn't for my wife, I'd probably have worked my self to death at a dead-end job and/or be dead of liver cirrhosis by now. I may complain about being part-time slave labor around here at times but they give me a reason to get out of bed and keep putting one foot in front of the other in the mornings. Moving in with my mother after dad passed to take care of things for her has been an interesting experience but it's gotten us all closer together and makes Christmas mean that much more to us. Merry Christmas to you and yours AvE.
I didn't know how blessed I was until I got married and had kids. I don't think I'd ask for anything ever in the world again I absolutely love being a dad and I love being a husband. And may be hard at times but you're absolutely right the families are struggling and sometimes they're just scared to let people know about it. I urge all new parents to realize that the feelings that you're feeling now all of us parents feel it don't ever be afraid to talk to someone about it we are all in this together
Love your attitude my friend...you are right about children... mine are all adults in the 40s and 50s now, but still my babies.... That's one lovely Golden Retriever you have there...
Convenient pre-heat system on that job.... Keep er warm up there, we're freezing our bronze bidets off down here in NY. Think I'm going to weld something just for the heat.
Insurance companies hate stoves, eco mentalists want them banned because of the wood smoke, local municipalities put tons of bylaws in place to stop you from having them. Makes me want to replace my fireplace insert with a stove. The more that the powers that be tell me not to own something, the more I want to own it. Goes for the powder actuated repeating hole punches as well
I like your philosophy. Back before I retired & I had a predictable income, everytime a member of the "powers that be" said something stupid, I would go out and buy another powder actuated hole puncher. But I started running out of money, and running out of room to store all the hole punchers. Where I'm living now the local chief LEO would probably be embarassed and envious.
burning wood for heat is basically the one thing we can do for ourselves that doesn't make the gov't more money. They can't tax firewood like they can oil and gas and electricity. That's why they don't want people burning wood.
Something always at nice to ask your girlfriend's / wife, if she knows the difference between pink and purple, she'll give you all sorts of crazy answers and you just look at her and smile and say your grip. Happy Holidays
Erm. About the placement of the Carbon Monoxide detector. Professor Wikky P. Dear tells me that CO is lighter than air. You need to turn the room upside down. Merry Christmas!
1:53 So you greet your equipment nicely too, ehh? My coworkers used to think I was nuts. "Hello, Chatillon! Hello, Dynisco!" Usually got them to behave less tempermentally. Usually. Well I thought so.
@@EggBastion Chatillon made guages we used for force testing in the Quality lab I supervised. They were also used for weight measuments in other settings - weighing produce, or fishing expeditions, etc. The Dynisco we used was for measuring the flow rates of certain polymers, but I think they made loads of other testing gear also. I think both companies have long since been bought out or rebranded. Its been more than 10 years since I left that job in the toothpaste factory. At times I miss that job. Then I remember it was a JIT factory and I tell myself, "Thank Christ I'm thru with all that."
My two year old migraine woke up before dawn today, broke part of her toddler bed, slung milk all over my desk, then dumped a cup of coffee all over the wife's favorite blanket, all before noon. She's a pain in the ass, but that's MY pain in the ass, hoss. One of the best things to ever happen to me, and the fastest inspiration to buck up I've had in life.
Hi AVE, after many years still enjoying your vids... But several times I heard you talk about how much you love those Dremels... A few years back as a gift I got the Dremel model 4000... It says it "has a high performance motor with electronic feed back that allows the tool to maintain it's speed under load" after forty years of using the older models mostly fairly light duty I find the 4000 model not a very comfortable fit to hold but I do use it when I'm cutting into heavier things.... 90% of my use is using their reinforced cut-off wheels and the 4000 does seem to hold it's speed under load... Would love to see a review on the 4000 model if you ever get a chance... Again a great channel and look forward to all your videos... Thanks!
Merry Christmas, Unc! I agree with your assessment of kids. Mine are grown and make me proud every day. We just had terrible weather here in New England. Many was the generator that was saying "Noooooo!!"
Happy Holidays and all that. Thanks for always seeming to land a video when I need a chuckle. You are 100% on the mark with your comment and view regarding kids… My two have caused me plenty of grey hair, plenty of tears too - but they are both the incredible human beings! So proud of both of them - and the broods that they are raising! All the best in 2023… Keeping on - keeping on… Cheers from the East Kootenay.
Gave my emergency generator a 3 minute shot of warm propane heat just last night in prep for the power outage during the ice storm down hear on the coast and it to started on the first pull. Oh and of course no power outage here.
Been watching your videos for years now and still love watching them. If you ever come down to the states and in Ohio swing by out shop in North Royalton
I see a strip down and some slappage of steel plate on the old boiler in the Summer. Merry Christmas to AVE and Family. Have a great Christmas dinner and many happy faces opening presents. See you in the New Year.
Running a Vermont castings Defiant here in TX. Keeps the 1800 sq ft at 82 when it’s 20 outside. Last cast iron repair I had was on my own equip as well. D7-3T , ‘44 vintage. Pony motor threw its guts through the main block. Drilled out on four corners of main block. (D8800) and welded in A36 3/8 plate using 7018. Has held well. Ran her 4 hours today digging mesquite
Nice work and a job well done. If you'd rather have the option to wait on a full repair until better weather next time, maybe order a bucket of "body furnace cement" to have on hand. We'd be out a video from you of course, but it might save some frustration at an inopportune time. I watched the old man assemble our 1800's era cast iron potbelly stove every Fall with that stuff, then as needed he'd patch it throughout the winter as cracks appeared. Finally in the Spring the stove would be completely disassembled and moved back to the shed so that Mom could reclaim some space in the family room. Merry Crustmas!
I am so glad to see you talking to JD in such a loving tone. Keep the welder at the house, my experience is she will crack again. Love the videos, you make my day.
I gotta deg to biffer on that cast iron vs. steel stove bit. The biggest, baddest 3K dollar Dutchwest hunka cast lasted me 6 years. Friggin wood hog would take a 30 inch log. Stuff 'er to the gills at 9 PM and wake up to a cold house and wait a half hour before your next kindle could start putting heat into the room. While I never cracked a panel, the seams all let go. (6 panels) Wife started getting sick from the leaker 5 years in. Can't get your hands on factory seam sealer. Tried consumer grade to no avail. Bought a 1980's Blaze King Princess at an online (local) auction. Looked big in the photos. I was STUNNED that it was small enough to fit in a Chevy Sprint. Obviously overfired on several occasions. Top half of the bricks were either dust or fly ash. Door was warped bad enough to accommodate a 1/4" gap in the top corner. A few new bricks and some clever wrangling of the door and a new gasket, it put heat in the room inside 15 minutes of the match light. Had the top deck glowin' but good a few times! Went from 6 cord of wood to 3.5. Warm house in the morning, too! Drawback was that if your log was over 16.5 inches, it wasn't going in the box. (Do whatever you want with that...) One of the best 50 bucks I ever spent. Landed a pair of 1990's Blaze King Kings. Refurbished both, sold one, which made mine free. Guy that bought the other one loves his. He got the same results. They take 22 inch logs. (24 if you want to keep your arms inside a hot fire box trying to get them perfect) Warm house every morning. 12 to 18 hour burns. If you can find yourself a Blaze King KEJ 1100, Do it! I put a steel cat in it instead of the ceramic. Spendy, but proved itself worthy of the extra coin.
Hey, great seeing another dawg inhabit the Empire of Dirt, you guys have the perfect spread for a critter and I bet them kids are tickled pink over her. Hell of a thing seeing an old dawg go, its been a decade since the cancer got my boy and being a lowly renter Im not able to replace him. Merry Xmas to you and yours, AvE, and buy Dewclaw a beer or three!
-22 Dungarees Science in the Poke-yer-nose Mountains last night. I work in a -30° freezer, so that translates to SuperMAXheavy t-shart weather. Heavy T's can be substituted with powdered Colombiana Hydrochloride, in case of emergency 😁👍
My buddy in highschool lived out in the boonies. His stove/heater was twice the size of that one. It does get very cold here in Kansas but not like your frozen shithole, Hoth. Many winter's we got that thing glowing RED HOT. A baby snake slithered into the fresh ash pile once, once. Well, we got it glowing RED for many a years. No cracks, must've been cast. Thanks for the video
Well said!! Couldn't agree with you more. Don't have any kids, but I sure feel a void in my life not having children. Kids are great and yes they are a challenge they do bring joy to your life. I see my friends and their families give me joy. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!! Keep up the great work you do.
I knew a good idea when i saw it. My very own healing mat arrived from Saint Nick. Will be placed upon the lam-beam alter at the head of the nave in my place of sanctuary... Happy New Year, brotherhood of the knack. May your threads never cross.
thank you AVE we know or pretend too. Love your family and be grateful you have one the Gods are watching and yes it matter. Take care be safe and Merry Christmas.
Brought my Son up alone since the little turd hopper was 18 months. He'll be 22 on Valentines day. It was and still is a blast. Raise your kids and spoil your Grandchildren, otherwise you will end up raising your Grandchildren. It's all in the prep. Have a gooder Christmas Bud.

Kids are magical creatures. They generate an ungodly amount of stress and happiness simultaneously.
My Dad wore a baseball cap with the caption, "Insanity is hereditary. You get it from your kids"
My Dad used to say" I wouldn't sell you for a million Bucks, But I wouldn't give a Nickel for one just like you"
They also magically extrude far more mass in snot, poo and vomit than they consume in food and drink, yet still keep on expanding. I swear they suck all of the energy out if the food that I eat, yet I'm still the one getting fat.
Well said! And very true! But would you trade it for anything? Nope!
There is some subtle irony in using electricity from the wall to get a generator started.
Almost as much as using a jenny to charge a tesla lol
@@trailblazer632 If you follow the big commercial extension cords all the way back to the beginning, they're all being charged that way. Just don't tell the tree huggers or you a cis white supremacist nazi capitalist cause yea got a functional brain unlike them.
@@raymondj8768 yes but their car wasnt causing the pollution just someone elses generator. So the driver gets to blame the generator owner
If set up properly the generator would cause less pollution then just running a diesel vehicle. People always like to say well your tesla is powered by a coal fired power plant, what they dont realize they are not making the tesla look bad, they are making the powerplant look bad. Even a tesla getting charged off of straight coal is hundreds of time less carbon pollution then a diesel or gas counterpart. Most Coal plants are actually very clean energy sources per megawatt. But they are shutting them down cause they are demonized. Now whether or not the carbon matters, and all of America's energy efficiency push makes a fuck or is a drop in an endless sea. That's a differnt conversation

You are 100% on the mark with your comment and view regarding kids… My two have caused me plenty of grey hair, plenty of tears too - but they are both the incredible human beings! So proud of both of them - and the broods that they are raising!
All the best in 2023…
Keeping on - keeping on…
Cheers from the East Kootenay.
Gave my emergency generator a 3 minute shot of warm propane heat just last night in prep for the power outage during the ice storm down hear on the coast and it to started on the first pull. Oh and of course no power outage here.
Been watching your videos for years now and still love watching them. If you ever come down to the states and in Ohio swing by out shop in North Royalton
AvE words of true wisdom thanks and merry Christmas
I see a strip down and some slappage of steel plate on the old boiler in the Summer. Merry Christmas to AVE and Family. Have a great Christmas dinner and many happy faces opening presents. See you in the New Year.
Merry Christmas sir love the videos keep them rolling in 2023
Running a Vermont castings Defiant here in TX. Keeps the 1800 sq ft at 82 when it’s 20 outside.
Last cast iron repair I had was on my own equip as well. D7-3T , ‘44 vintage. Pony motor threw its guts through the main block. Drilled out on four corners of main block. (D8800) and welded in A36 3/8 plate using 7018. Has held well. Ran her 4 hours today digging mesquite
Nice work and a job well done. If you'd rather have the option to wait on a full repair until better weather next time, maybe order a bucket of "body furnace cement" to have on hand. We'd be out a video from you of course, but it might save some frustration at an inopportune time. I watched the old man assemble our 1800's era cast iron potbelly stove every Fall with that stuff, then as needed he'd patch it throughout the winter as cracks appeared. Finally in the Spring the stove would be completely disassembled and moved back to the shed so that Mom could reclaim some space in the family room. Merry Crustmas!
Merry Christmas to you and the family and thanks for educating, and entertaining me over the years. 👍
Always enjoy you videos!
Thanks for all the videos brother, cheers to a better 2023
Glad to see I'm not the only one who talks to equipment Merry Christmas to you and yours
The dog is looking at you "ah sheit here he comes again with his nonsense" lol
Wiser words not often said Mr Ave.! "There's her problem "
Thanks for another year’s entertainment AvE.
I am so glad to see you talking to JD in such a loving tone. Keep the welder at the house, my experience is she will crack again. Love the videos, you make my day.
Thank you good Sir. Always a pleasure. Merry Christmas to you and yours.
Kids are life!
I gotta deg to biffer on that cast iron vs. steel stove bit. The biggest, baddest 3K dollar Dutchwest hunka cast lasted me 6 years. Friggin wood hog would take a 30 inch log. Stuff 'er to the gills at 9 PM and wake up to a cold house and wait a half hour before your next kindle could start putting heat into the room. While I never cracked a panel, the seams all let go. (6 panels) Wife started getting sick from the leaker 5 years in. Can't get your hands on factory seam sealer. Tried consumer grade to no avail. Bought a 1980's Blaze King Princess at an online (local) auction. Looked big in the photos. I was STUNNED that it was small enough to fit in a Chevy Sprint. Obviously overfired on several occasions. Top half of the bricks were either dust or fly ash. Door was warped bad enough to accommodate a 1/4" gap in the top corner. A few new bricks and some clever wrangling of the door and a new gasket, it put heat in the room inside 15 minutes of the match light. Had the top deck glowin' but good a few times! Went from 6 cord of wood to 3.5. Warm house in the morning, too! Drawback was that if your log was over 16.5 inches, it wasn't going in the box. (Do whatever you want with that...) One of the best 50 bucks I ever spent. Landed a pair of 1990's Blaze King Kings. Refurbished both, sold one, which made mine free. Guy that bought the other one loves his. He got the same results. They take 22 inch logs. (24 if you want to keep your arms inside a hot fire box trying to get them perfect) Warm house every morning. 12 to 18 hour burns. If you can find yourself a Blaze King KEJ 1100, Do it! I put a steel cat in it instead of the ceramic. Spendy, but proved itself worthy of the extra coin.
Hapiest of holidays to you, yours and all your Canuk breathren.
I have to put my golden retriever in the house every time I arc weld, it’s in their nature to be a active participant in every thing you do.
I think it’s the CO2 that’s the heavy one, CO detectors should be up near the ceiling pardner. Merry Christmas
Thanks!you are the best....cheers from Florida..Paul
Hey, great seeing another dawg inhabit the Empire of Dirt, you guys have the perfect spread for a critter and I bet them kids are tickled pink over her. Hell of a thing seeing an old dawg go, its been a decade since the cancer got my boy and being a lowly renter Im not able to replace him. Merry Xmas to you and yours, AvE, and buy Dewclaw a beer or three!
-22 Dungarees Science in the Poke-yer-nose Mountains last night. I work in a -30° freezer, so that translates to SuperMAXheavy t-shart weather. Heavy T's can be substituted with powdered Colombiana Hydrochloride, in case of emergency 😁👍
Our children have enhanced and multiplied love in our life. It can't be explained, it has to be experienced. Merry Christmas to you and yours
... and the quadruple entendre dismount. 10.0!
Aww hex
Keep on pushin through man. Have a great one.
Similar to Christmas morning, the whirlwind of gift wrap settling before that first cup of coffee is empty as there’s nothing leftover but the cleanup
My buddy in highschool lived out in the boonies. His stove/heater was twice the size of that one. It does get very cold here in Kansas but not like your frozen shithole, Hoth. Many winter's we got that thing glowing RED HOT. A baby snake slithered into the fresh ash pile once, once. Well, we got it glowing RED for many a years. No cracks, must've been cast. Thanks for the video
The things that dog has seen. Better give her a cookie.
The cues fit when generator was stuck trying to roll over that pipe..just so damn relatable. This guy gets me rolling.
Warmest regards to you and yours, from a chilly admirer in North Carolina..
AvE's Christmas addresses are something special and are maybe what keep me subscribed.
Good to hear from you again, best wishes this new year. Also I got a hoodie from your shop and I love it. Much love from Texas
Well said!! Couldn't agree with you more. Don't have any kids, but I sure feel a void in my life not having children. Kids are great and yes they are a challenge they do bring joy to your life. I see my friends and their families give me joy. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!! Keep up the great work you do.
Great video! Thank you Ave 😊 Merry Christmas
❤❤❤🐕🐕🐕 Merry Christmas to you and yours...🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄

“I gotta lot of problems with you people…”

"nothing left but the clean up"
I knew a good idea when i saw it. My very own healing mat arrived from Saint Nick. Will be placed upon the lam-beam alter at the head of the nave in my place of sanctuary... Happy New Year, brotherhood of the knack. May your threads never cross.
thank you AVE we know or pretend too. Love your family and be grateful you have one the Gods are watching and yes it matter. Take care be safe and Merry Christmas.
Once I bought a used bedpan but had to return it. Turns out it already had a crack in it
