Gorilla tape camera hack for lost camera port cover , go Pro, Insta 360
If your gopro or Insta 360 or other action camera is missing the little camera port cover. I recommend using a piece of clear gorilla tape.
My action camera which is an Insta 360 RS 1 4K was missing the little rubber port cover that goes over the USB slot and microSD card slot.
I have used the clear gorilla tape for over a month and was able to reattach it firmly each time. Although I'm getting ready to replace it now because it's starting to lose some of its stickiness.
However, I use it a lot.
This is just a cheap quick hack that is obvious once you look at it, but it may help some people who haven't thought of it.
I would not take your action camera or go Pro diving with a piece of tape but it should keep off rainwater and moisture etc.
Over the years I have made many videos on video making and camera hacks that you might find interesting.
I have them in a playlist.

If you are working or living somewhere without a kitchen and you only have access to the microwave here is a quick simple way to make a cheese omelet and a microwave using a paper plate.

5203 Things To Do instead Of Looking At Your Phone by Barbara Ann Kipfer
You don't want to spend too much time on your phone or other electronic devices. It becomes a habit. Then it becomes an addiction.
Days turn into weeks that turn into months then years. Then one sad day, something happens and you are lying on a stretcher in the back of an ambulance and saying to yourself, "Oh God, what have I done with my life."
The ideas in this book are not earthshaking or transformational. It's doubtful any of them will change your life completely. What they will do is maybe put a smile on your face and if you're lucky help you pry that electronic gadget off of your face that is sucking your life away and your time that you will never get back.
A couple of generations now have grown up never knowing anything but the digital age. I'm not saying we are all turning into Eloi but something isn't right. We need to get out more. If you get a couple of good ideas from the book or even if it just gives you a smile, it did its job.
See you out there.

Did we find a dinosaur whale bone? What do you think it is?
Okay, what is this? My neighbor found this on a riverbank in South Carolina. I thought it was from a whale but can't be certain. Maybe it's from a dinosaur. But then, would Wales living at the time of dinosaurs also be called dinosaurs?
I'm curious about how old this is. Let me know what you guys think. Is it a dinosaur bone or a whalebone or something else? It's kinda cool.
We have some pretty prehistoric items occasionally found on the beaches and spoil islands in Florida. In fact, they found the remains of some people in a bog in Central Florida near the coast that date back over 7000 years old. I think I got that time range correct.
Everybody in Florida thinks everything started here when they arrived. Or maybe their parents or grandparents. People have been living here for thousands of years.

Tightwad Confession- 11 things I'd buy again
I wasn't going to post this video. Who is going to be interested in an old man who doesn't spend any money talking about things he would buy again?
I saw a video the other day where another famous tightwad listed the items he would buy again. I thought it would be an interesting topic. However, after making 16 years of YouTube videos I've come to realize the topics I'm interested in are not always topics everyone else is interested in.
These 11 items were just stuff off the top of my head. I have plenty of other things I would buy again, surprisingly.
If enough people are interested in this topic I'll do another video on the subject. In the back of my mind, I would like to do a series of videos talking with other people about what are their favorite things that they would buy again. So yeah, who knows, we may end up with a whole new series of videos talking with people discussing the items in their life that they like a lot so much they would buy again.

Protect Car Windows From Golf Balls with DIY Magnetic yoga mat
If you live next to a golf course How do you protect your car windows from being smashed by golf balls hitting them? Some insurance companies do not compensate car owners for golf ball damage and some of them limit the coverage to just certain windows of the car. What's worse, some cars have windows that if smashed by golf balls cannot be replaced alone but have to be replaced with other parts of the car. It was extraordinarily expensive.
Not everyone who moves in next to a golf course is aware of this problem and once they have purchased their condo it's too late.
This is my attempt to provide low-cost protection from golf balls for car windows.
I used 1/2 inch closed cell membrane rubber yoga mats because surprisingly, it was the lowest price I could find for this material. When I tried to source large rolls of the material I found yoga mats on sale were cheaper.
When adding the mats to your car, you need to make a template to see where the mats would fit best with the magnets as the magnets need to be secured to metal parts of the car.
If you use enough magnets they should prevent the wind from removing the mat under normal conditions. To help protect the mat from being damaged by the sun or being blown off in unexpectedly high winds you might want to consider getting a car cover. You can also get extra magnets and make little magnetic disks to help secure the car cover by attaching the mat to underneath the car.
I didn't provide any photographs of the finished mat on the car because after we placed it on the car it started raining and I left that evening and have not been back since.

24 Questions $10 grounding mat
Recently I made a video about building a DIY $10 copper grounding mat and a video on how to test and use a grounding or earthing mat.
I got a lot of questions about making and using my $10 grounding mat so I decided to do a question-and-answer video going over the most common and popular questions on how to make and use and test my $10 copper grounding mat. Sometimes a grounding mat is also called an earthing mat.
Q&A for my video on how to make grounding mat for $10
1 Why didn't I use a resistor
2 Why didn't I use a green wire for grounding
3 How would I add a resistor
4 What is the best size resistor to use
5 Why did I use the size wire that I used
6 Why didn't I make all my connections from the same metal to reduce galvanic reaction and corrosion
7 would a pipe in the ground have been better?
8 Do I think a resistor is necessary
9 Should I have reinforced the plug with nonconductive material blades to replace the metal ones that were removed
10 Could I have used an antistatic static electricity wrist strap
11 how common are grounding mat injuries?
12 Would it have been a good idea if I had added a fuse or surge protector?
13 How can I tell if my metal screen is coated and nonconductive
14 Can I use any type of metal screen or wire
15 Are all house electrical systems grounded
16 What happens if lightning strikes my house or apartment
17 Why did I need a receptacle tester when I had a voltmeter or multi-tester
18 Couldn't I have attached the wire to my plumbing
19 Could I have used an antistatic mat
20 How come when I test my own mat I don't get any readings on my multi-tester
21 Why didn't I use the screen from my screen door or window
22 . Did the mat work for me?
23 Am I an electrician?
24 Am I responsible for any problems if someone builds their own mat?

$2 Pen Stops Thieves From Stealing Your Lifes Savings
Uni-Ball 207 https://amzn.to/3Mwu0lV This two-dollar pen stops bank thieves from emptying your bank account.
The best way to protect your checking account from being emptied by check-washing fraudsters and thieves is to use a uni-ball 207 gel pen. This gel pen has pigment ink that makes it very difficult for thieves
to erase the information you wrote on the check. If someone wants to perform check washing on your checks and drain your bank account and empty out your life savings they will have a difficult time if you use this pen. In addition, you have to be vigilant and make sure people don't get access to your checks.

The Best Umbrella I Ever Owned Collar and Cuffs Made in England
Collar and cuffs city umbrella https://amzn.to/3o4XD3u Living in South Florida I have used a lot of umbrellas. We get a lot of heavy rain. It's easy to find an umbrella that will keep you partially dry but it's hard to find one that will survive any type of wind. This collar and cuff umbrella is the best umbrella I've ever used as far as standing up to heavy winds. When I was caught out in a rainstorm the wind blew so strong I had to hold on with both hands. It's made mostly from fiberglass. It has a vent that allows strong gusts to escape and the mechanism allows a user to open it with one hand, which is excellent.
I also like that it has a curved handle because I can put it down the back of my jacket and hook it onto my belt on my pants and then walk and have both hands free if there's not a lot of wind. It looks silly but sometimes is very handy. I have also figured out how to attach it to my E-bike when I go to the beach or fishing. I can use it to keep the sun off of me and make it into a little beach umbrella. I'm also thinking about using it with my very small inflatable boats and using it as a sail to go downwind. It's not cheap but very well built and the company claims to have good customer service the many positive reviews on Amazon indicate that may be the case.
If you good umbrella this seems to be a good choice.

My Magnificent 1994 Toyota Corolla LE "Moon Rover"
What is it like to own and drive a 1994 Toyota Corolla for close to 20 years? I review the good and bad things about owning an old Corolla.
In the video, we drive around Broward County for about 15 minutes while I talk about the car and then we stop and get out and look at the exterior and interior of the car and open up the hood and look at the engine.
My next three projects on the car are to refurbish the headlights, fix the rust on the trunk and refurbish the wheel rims on the car.
Recorded on my $40 used Samsung Galaxy A21 and my $15 wireless microphone. The wireless microphone removes most of the background noises from the car but I was not happy with the final sound so I ran the audio through an artificial intelligence program which made my voice better but still made it sound a little tinny.

Best Homemade Spider, Ant & Mouse Repellant
After I made this homemade spider repellent I realized it would be very useful to repel other insects and pests, primarily ants, mice, mosquitoes, and even bedbugs.
Over the years I have made over a dozen videos on how to get rid of different pests in the home and they are all in my playlist.
DIY Pest Control Low Cost Non Toxic https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL0Fl7dCpoux4zqNotHUHTlUoiBheKMzEz
A common request has been for me to make a video on spiders and how to get rid of them. Nearly all of the videos I have made on pest control have been concerning insects and rodents that I have had trouble with personally. Spiders, on the other hand, have never really given me a problem. What I decided to do is to research the topic thoroughly and come up with the best low-cost, easy-to-make repellent for spiders. This homemade repellent just so happened to be also excellent for many other insect and rodent problems in the home.
The peppermint oil does a very good job of repelling mice ants and spiders. The clove oil is similarly useful, but it also will work with mosquitoes and bedbugs to some extent.
Remember to apply this on the outside of your doors and windows where the insects or rodents may be entering. If you have problems with rodents getting into your vehicles the spray is good to use in your engine department so long as you don't spread on electrical components or metal that could corrode.
My peppermint all came from Walmart at a very good price, but prices fluctuate a lot. So I'm going to leave a link to a highly regarded brand of essential oils that sell peppermint oil and clove oil.
Plant Therapy Clove Bud Essential Oil 100% Pure, Undiluted, Natural Aromatherapy, Therapeutic Grade 10 mL (1/3 oz) https://amzn.to/3TUmNhu
Plant Therapy Peppermint Essential Oil 100% Pure, Undiluted, Natural Aromatherapy, Therapeutic Grade 30 mL (1 oz) https://amzn.to/3M0cRRt
LorAnn Peppermint Oil SS Natural Flavor, 1 dram bottle (.0125 fl oz - 3.7ml - 1 teaspoon) https://amzn.to/3nxzySH
Please take precautions when using essential oils or dilutions of essential oils. I do not recommend getting this repellent on your skin are in your mouth or eyes, and I recommend eye protection whenever making any chemical solutions.
Be sure to keep essential oils and sprays or dilutions out of the reach of young children.
I do not claim any expertise in the use of essential oils for therapeutic treatment or home remedies and I'm recommending this repellent to be used only on the exterior of your home windows and doors, etc.
I don't have any information regarding the safety of this material with your pets and would recommend you research the topic yourself. Nor is this repellent something you should use on any pet for any reason.
Please let me know in the comments how your homemade repellent worked for you.
