I think that would be a great idea, especially if you’ve been wanting to do a little more physical activity. Certainly gives you the ability to do some maintenance on your car if need be.

Totally, not to mention it will help me stay in shape.
I have one that I just started where I've been just talking about music--performing, teaching, recording, all of that. Not showing how to do any of that cause there's already a lot out there about that. I'm just relaying my thoughts. I was inspired by this channel "Cedarvillemusic" which is run by a classical pianist/piano professor and he just talks to the camera about practicing, performing, improvisation in classical music and stuff like that.
Do you actually demonstrate what you are talking about by playing a piece of music?
A (music) channel that I am quite partial to - and it has a wonderful range of topics and subject matter, - for example, th one about the history of the guitar was fascinating - is the channel of Brandon Acker; not only is the music sublime, but it is interesting, informative, educational - and very well shot - as well.

Fair enough. I never got the chance to really work on them as a kid and I'm excited to learn more.
The taxman is my biggest enemy. Thanks though.
I interpreted the enthusiasm not so much about the money as it was about learning about vehicles & how to work on them.
Plus undoubtedly you’ll have access to some really top shelf diagnostic hardware & tools.
Good luck
Yeah and you're spot on with the interpretation. Don't get me wrong, more money is always nice, but this is going to be a massive learning opportunity for me.
And thank you @Certificate of Excellence
No, I don't. My thought is that there are already lots of other channels out there if they want to see how to do something. But maybe I'll start doing that at some point, all up to the viewers.
9:00AM video shoot/recording session tomorrow morning, which I look forward to. Contracted to do a fundraising video project for a local church. Then (this was not initially part of the deal), I am serving as a consultant of sorts to figure out their audiovisual setup. I had a look the other day and the hardware is really nice--clear they invested a lot of money into this system. However, the way it's set up is not good and could be significantly improved.
King George III & aristocracy were addicted to spending other peoples money and our own political class have evolved to be no different. No big surprise there.
But hey, your OT has become a sizable deduction to reduce your reported taxable income which is a very nice perk for the worker outing in a lot of hours. As of July4th and through 2028, you can deduct up to $12500 of your OT from your federal taxes at the end of the tax year.
Actually, I think that you should think about doing that; people who know about - who have studied - music - will understand what you are talking about.
Others, those who are not professionals, or, who like and listen to music, but do not play an instrument, may not understand theoretical explanations until an example is supplied by way of illustration.
One of the things I like about Brandon Acker's videos is that he not only gives the history of an instrument, but also a quick example (and explanation) of the (sometimes, quite specific) styles of music that developed to be played on that instrument, over different eras and time periods, which I find quite fascinating.

Headed into the city as I was out of both bread (the French bakery) and cheese (the cheesemonger).
Both were visited, as was the library, (a veritable tower of books awaited me, there - I was expecting three, not the tower I actually stashed into my rucksack) while I also decided to stock up on beer, as, inexplicably, with the exception of a few bottles of Trappistes Rochefort, I was also out of beer.

I don’t believe that is applicable as he resides in Canada.King George III & aristocracy were addicted to spending other peoples money and our own political class have evolved to be no different. No big surprise there.

Just about to say, but I appreciate the knowledge regardless.
I'd imagine that the perspective of King George and his (various) administration(s) may have been rather different.King George III & aristocracy were addicted to spending other peoples money and our own political class have evolved to be no different. No big surprise there.
I do not doubt this one bit. I'm glad we were mostly able to move beyond our little kerfuffle.
Summer - and the wonderful produce of the season - are on my mind.
This morning, in the farmers' market, I purchased eggs (free range, organic), garlic (lots), new potatoes, salad greens, herbs (parsley, rosemary, thyme), onions, carrots, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red peppers, aubergines (eggplant), courgettes (zucchini), all fresh, (some were picked yesterday, or, as is the case with the eggs, collected this morning), full of flavour.
Fruit that was bought included cherries, nectarines, apricots, and oranges.
I also visited the organic butcher's stall, and purchased (free range, organic) chicken thighs, some fillet steak, and some breakfast sausages.

Reading all that made me hungry! Unfortunately, cherry season is already over where I live. But stone fruits are at their peak now. My fave is pluots (hybrid of plums and apricots). They are beautiful to look at and heavenly to eat.
Oranges: does your farmers' market allow non-local/imported produce? Or is there a variety of summer citrus (is there such a thing?) in your area?
I'm looking forward to next weekend when I'll be visiting family in the Finger Lakes . This time of the year there's farm stands all over the place ,so I'll load up and stock the freezer for the winter , plus I've got an order awaiting my arrival at one of the local wineries .
Summer stone fruit are amazing, and utterly addictive.
Actually, I have never, ever, even seen, laid eyes on, let alone eaten (tasted) such a thing.
Sounds amazing.
However, this morning, I did ask about Mirabelle plums (small, sweet, golden yellow, French plums, which are delicious but - alas - have a perilously short season, blink, and you will miss it; they are not due for several weeks, yet).
Granted, the oranges were bought in M&S (Marks & Spencer's), their food hall, as was double cream. Everything else was purchased in the farmers' market.
Obviously, they - the oranges - are not seasonal (although some of the organic stalls in the farmers' market do import organic produce from other suppliers during those bleak parts of the year when not much by way of variety is locally available, - which, clearly, is not the case, nor a problem, in high summer - while others choose to sell only what they have grown themselves, which means that some stalls are absent for a few months in the deepest, darkest, dreariest, months of winter).

Enjoy.
I hear you.
The fruit available at this time of year is just wonderful.
Yum.
What type of wine do they produce - what grapes, varieties, quality....
Do enjoy.
They've got a pretty good range . Not particularly cheap . Here's a link . https://www.wiemer.com/visit-us/
