Technology is overtaking almost every aspect of our lives. If you or your parents struggle with technology you are not alone. In this series I will be discussing some of the terminology and talk about some of the basic gizmos that can help you feel more comfortable with technology. This is not a how to do it series. I want YOU to feel comfortable enough to bring technology into your home and use it, always mindful that that it is just tech. Sit down with your parents each week and listen to my short segments that will be discussing the basics. Remember that if you learn something new every week or so, that adds up and soon you fill want to do more with the simple tech that surrounds us.Soundtracks:For My Good / AFTR / www.epidemicsound.comWanna Be (Not Me) / Loving Caliber / www.epidemicsound.com#aginginplace #learningtech #nottooold
This video discusses household battery recycling, focusing on common types like AA and AAA batteries used in remotes and toys. We cover how to handle "dead batteries" and the importance of responsible "waste recycling" for items such as "button battery" and "aa batteries". A quick "battery test" can determine if your old batteries are still usable, ensuring proper "battery safety" for all household members.
Super simple to install fender trim on your Jeep Grand Cherokee.
I don't know why my new Mr. Heater Big Buddy keeps turning off or refusing to light up when I connect it to a 20 lb propane tank. I have a Mr. Heater 12 foot hose and fuel filter. A viewer suggested that the oil buildup in the hose is the problem. To get it started again I have to use compressed air and blow out the heater connections and it will normally crank right up. To test out my viewers suggestion, I bought Mr. Heater Fuel Keg refillable 1 lb bottles and their refill adapter. I will test it out and follow up with a video in the near future.#mrheater #fuelkeg #portablepropane
If you have home video security cameras or security systems, you definately need to at least have the basic subscription that lets you access footage. Just in case! Trez discusses his experience with a few of the more popular cameras on the market. Interior, exterior and doorbell cameras are easy to install and the subscription plans are very reasonable.
I don't know why I didn't think of this sooner. The perfect gift for your your children and grandchildren. A boring combo rechargeable batteries with a charger. Their parents will either love or hate the gift. It is a great educational tool too.
For years I have been trying to use my garage for outdoor winter projects and have ended up freezing and punting my projects until it warms up. This year I think I found a heater that will warm my space up and make it useable. I went with a propane heater by Mr. Heater and I sure hope it keeps me warm. It also doubles as an indoor heater should we lose power or our furnace this winter. It is safe to use and will warm up a couple of rooms to keep us comfortable.
Some of my Craftsman V20 lithium-ion batteries are not powering my tools. They show fully charged by their chargers, the on-battery LEDs show fully charged and my Ohm meter shows 21 volts. I have three models of chargers, a full size CMCB102, a mid sized model CMCB101 and the smallest model CMCB1104. I'm suspecting the CMCB101 is the culprit. When the batteries are fully charged, the lights go off where on the other chargers the green LED goes from blinking to solid when fully charged. This is my story on troubleshooting and how I have gotten my batteries to restart.#craftsman #lithium-ion #CMCB1104 #CMCB101 #CMCB102#craftsmanV20 #craftsmanbatteries
The Craftsman CMCCSP20M1 pole saw is super easy to assemble and use. I finally got around to unboxing my new toy. It is powered by Craftsman's V20 lithium-ion battery. It has an 8 inch chainsaw blade and is designed to cut branches up to 6 inches in diameter. Check out my review and demo. After using it for the first time I offer my honest opinion.

Make sure your engine is off and is cool. Take a bottle of engine cleaner/degreaser and soak the engine, deck, grass catcher bag, wheels and the handle. Let it sit for 15 minutes, scrub with a soft bristle brush and then rinse thoroughly. Voila your mower looks good as new! Make sure not to directly spray the gas tank cap or air filter. Blow it dry with a leaf blower and you are ready for the showroom.Check out my web pages and blogs.

Even shadetree mechanics need a torque wrench. Small engine repairs like changing a spark plug require a torque wrench to ensure you do not over tighten and turn a simple job into an expensive mistake. The torque wrenches I use cost as little as $35. This is my take on why you need a torque wrench in your toolbox.#torquewrench #treztech Ladies First / John Runefelt (www.epidemicsound.com)I'll Be Gone / Nikki Gee (www.epidemicsound.com)
