It's time to deal with our long grass! But I don't own a lawnmower. So naturally, I got a robot to do it. Can the Yarbo redeem itself? Go watch: youtu.be/gxmphcOanT8

I reviewed the most cursed 3D printer I’ve ever seen. It prints upside down. It fits in a backpack. And somehow… it works really well. youtu.be/lOFh70ooCRs

We had a delivery truck hit a low hanging telephone line on our dirt road, which made the telephone line stretch and hang down even lower. Centurylink told us to buildto prop it up. I think they meant 2x4s, but we got creative! Go watch on youtube: youtu.be/U2r403OxhNM

Happy spring from the ranch!
What do you mean winter is over? We're scheduled to get 14" on Tuesday! So I got a robot to plow my driveway...
The Electric Ranch got its first robot! But it's still not quite what we ordered... youtu.be/EKacPflw3E0
We received a delivery of our first big robot (1100 pounds), and it did NOT go as planned. And then it went from bad to worse... We ended up having to call emergency services! Go watch: youtu.be/FfphdWI0Qvc
NEW VIDEO! Finally, we are entering the Electric Era on Electric Ranch. How can I run a YouTube channel on top of a mountain? The answer is lots of Starlink dishes to get more upload bandwidth. But it's not quite that simple... Go watch: youtu.be/x4WBHTgyzGE

I have a big problem with my new shop - The reverb/echo is SO bad I can't have a normal conversation. So I brought in a professional acoustic engineer to help me figure out what to do. And I learned a ton of really cool stuff about acoustics! Go watch the video: https://youtu.be/59V2ZjOfI1o
