Yet another year in my home garden. This year we struggled again with insects and a long drought. Despite this we still managed to get a nice little haul. Potatoes were smaller than usual but still enough to last us the winter. We did have more fruit this year than usual with the blueberry bushes doing really well and a nice bowl of grapes. Apples are an ongoing struggle but we did get a few edible ones off the trees. 00:00 Intro 00:46 Tilling 02:05 June 02:31 Planting 04:19 Watering 05:08 Tarps down 05:55 More planting 06:41 More water 07:13 All planted 08:43 First walkaround 11:45 New bugs 13:28 Strawberries 14:26 Baby grapes 15:08 Raspberry bushes 15:33 Blueberry bushes 16:44 Apple trees 18:14 Peach tree 19:33 Wild flower bed 20:26 Waterfall 20:54 July 21:04 Watering 21:54 Mystery plants 22:08 Striped Cucumber Beetles 23:23 Pumpkin plants 24:23 Visitor in the garden 25:00 Groundhog 25:48 Close up 27:45 Big cucumber plant DOA 28:04 Potato update 28:44 Something eating beans 29:40 More random potatoes 30:00 Finally carrots 30:36 Apples 30:56 Sunflowers 31:23 Nice pumpkin leaves 31:40 Rhubarb DOA 31:55 Grape plant so big 32:30 Raspberries 101 33:24 So many blueberries to come 33:51 Raspberries rejuvenated 34:31 Grapes 36:22 Marmotte 37:10 Finally more carrots 38:00 Lettuce 38:13 Groundhog 38:30 August 39:38 Disappointing cucumbers 42:34 Nice grapes 43:19 So many blueberries 45:15 Picking blueberries 45:46 Cute little cucumber plant 46:00 Dry summer forest fires 49:40 Something in the garden? 50:47 Corn pollinating 52:35 Grapes 53:31 Time to pick the grapes 54:34 September 54:45 Picking some potatoes and carrots for supper 55:28 Mid-September 56:29 Trampled cornstalks 57:31 Deer eating apples? 59:38 October 1:00:06 Picking apples 1:01:31 Treat for the deer 1:01:43 Picking corn 1:02:35 Potato picking 1:04:13 Tilling 1:06:24 Photos

Here are the steps taken in order: Step 1: Check for engine codes Step 2: Check for spark Step 3: Check spark plug Step 4: Check compression Step 5: Replace spark plug Step 6: Test ignition coil pack Step 7: Test spark plug wire Step 8: Replace ignition coil pack These are steps that can be taken to troubleshoot a misfiring vehicle, or one that is running rough, stalling or won't start.

I had a little fun one afternoon when I put a M18 Lithium battery into a kids ride-on toy. The power wheels style four-wheeler comes with a 12 volt battery and works much better with the 18 volt Milwaukee battery. This was just a quick, fun project and no real time was spent trying to upgrade the electrical system properly. In the end I used a jumper wire to bypass the thermal overload breaker so it could run at a higher amperage. If there is enough interest I may look again at adding more power, larger capacity wires and possibly upgraded motors to really make it move.

Replacing my 12000btu Daikin mini split with an 18000btu Senville unit. The new heat pump will be much more efficient and should be able to heat at lower temperatures than the old Daikin did, which is important with the cold Canadian winters. The extra air conditioning capacity will be nice on hot summer days as well. I bought this unit on Amazon and it is the second mini split I've installed on my own. The process is pretty easy for anyone with a little mechanical background, and experience with flared copper fittings helps. A few specialized tools are required such as a vacuum pump and air conditioning gauges but these are also available for a decent price on amazon.
