I dropped a washer into an engine cylinder… and there was only one way to know exactly where it landed.

Another rule of Mechanic Club is: Never go in blind.

Before taking an engine apart—or making things worse—look first. A borescope can save hours of work, unnecessary repairs, and sometimes an entire engine.

Link to Amazon for the awesome borescope I’m using… yes I will make about three dollars if you purchase it off of this link.

A big thanks to Hialemi for sponsoring this episode and providing the inspection camera used in this video.

If anyone else can do it… you can do it too.

Communist and socialist If you believe that, our country is a terrible place….

You just don’t have the right mindset…. You need to think about things differently.

The outcome is up to you nothing will be given to you except for the opportunities to create your own outcomes “

Young or Old . Skilled or Unskilled.
Physically Fit, or Fat as f*k.

There’s nothing that’s hard you’ll be asked to do… The only thing standing in your way…is you.

Is there anybody out there that would like to come to work for $15 an hour maybe more but probably not less. (Plus  commission) . Pay is kind of totally up to you. As you learn what to do. As I teach you..  I will pay you fairly. And consistently keep you working. Even if I don’t really have a need.  At the moment.

I don’t really need anybody to particular. I just need somebody to help me. I can’t really tell you what we do every day because it varies from day-to-day. So I would consider it an assistant position.

I run a little YouTube channel, so really it could be anything that is semi legal&safe… (jk if it’s not obvious )

One day you might be holding the camera one day you might be cutting the grass (that’s rare. I usually pay someone ) anything that is remedial and takes me away from doing something that moves us Both forward is what you would be asked to do. 

I just need somebody who’s trustworthy and shows up on time. Basically somebody that I can count on . 

I will teach you everything if there’s anything that you need to know.

If you don’t want to listen, I will let you make mistakes and I will pay for them….. but I’m extremely descriptive even if I know that you already know….. unless there’s something that I don’t know…. Which is possible…..

Just keep in mind one of my many mottos “I have forgotten more than most people ever knew.” but I’m still dumb….. and sometimes I need to be kept in line too…

I’m very easy to get along with and generally see the mistakes before they’re made and if you make them and you lied to me, and I will think that I know…. Exactly what and why? Even if I don’t actually know…. So it’s best to just tell me. And don’t lie I’ve been on the Earth for a while and I can see through that crap. Plus, it’s not like I can do anything anyway. Maybe yell… but sticks and stones may break your bones, but words will never hurt you….

I really don’t know how to write all this stuff. As long as you’re willing to keep busy like putting up tools keeping the place looking straight helping me when I need an extra hand we will get along just fine. 

My channel is about automotive repair, engineering fabrication and clever ways of doing things. also, I own a couple patents on Products that we produce welding, grinding fabricating. This is where the commission comes in to play . If you learn how to build them or install them, it’s very lucrative .

However, I do need to point out some of the misconceptions about You Tube It’s not always glamorous. But it does bring a little bit of notoriety. And I will definitely highlight your achievements in my videos. If you make a suggestion, I will give you the credit for it. It can be fun, but it is Work more than anything else.

I’ll leave you with this 

I’m very loyal as I move forward, you will too

So if that’s a desire for you.

If you wanna learn,
I will teach you.
“ there is no such thing as things you can’t do!!!! only things that you won’t do” and “if anyone else can do it, you can do it too”

If anybody knows anyone. Please share this. Please do not share this with people that have the propensity of theft. This is how I feed my family. And I have a lot of expensive equipment that I would like to keep. Really the two things that I’m NOT looking for is a liar or a thief…. Which I think are two of the worst things you can be in life….. and I’m neither

We’re not divided by color as much as we’re divided by character!!!!

I’ve met honest people and dishonest people, hardworking people and lazy people, caring people and selfish people from every background imaginable. The older I get, the more convinced I become that character matters far more than color.

The choices we make today become the character we’re known for tomorrow.

Keeping in mind that “we’re only as good as the company we keep!! “ Clayism 738

This hits heavy I love it very catchy…. I think to myself all the divide in this country creates music like this…. I hope he follows it up with an anthem to bring everyone together because together we are all Americans.!!!
