what's up guys welcome to pols hardware that's a video I'm calling my worst video ever because it's a vlog and it's a video that I'm doing not because I felt like it would be a good video but because I feel like there's some stuff I need to do and if I don't make a video out of it then there's not going to be a video so here it is so I want to call this like a day in my life type video because I definitely didn't start off today intending to do that but I do want to talk about three things and show you three things that I tend to need to do in my day to day life that doesn't really associate with making videos but there are things that take up a pretty significant amount of my time and just to practice I know I don't necessarily have the busiest life or anything like that like you're not only kids right now or that kind of thing but yet somehow I seem to constantly run out of time so the three things I'm going to talk about are one exercise that if you can't tell actually just got back from a fairly brisk walk not not not anything huge anything like that just went like a couple miles around my neighborhood here I wouldn't normally bring the dogs along on something like that but Kira decided to get a little frisky before I left okay know and he kind of pissed me off and so I went without them so I feel bad I was a bad I was a bad copy father for that instance but but that does relate to the second thing I'm talking about which is of course the dogs again I don't have any kids right now but I do have two puppies and they do require a bit of attention well a lot of attention a lot of the time and then the third thing is going to be my house here because my wife and I are lucky enough to have been able to purchase a home about three years ago or at least get a mortgage on a home but since it's our home it requires lots of upkeep and maintenance and since my wife works full-time I tend to handle a lot of that stuff the domestic work around here and the main issue I'm doing today's video the way I am is because of the backyard but we'll get to that in just a second so look clear with the help thing even I'm showing you guys nori right now health-wise I am you know I'm not terribly out of shape or anything like that but I could do better and that is part of the reason why I have this now this is a garmin vivoactive HR I'm not big into wearables or anything like that but this has a heart rate monitor it does step tracking and all that good stuff has some other functions in there as well brief pause well hero takes a drink the things that I found out in particular after getting this which I've had since a little bit before Christmas wife my wife got us each one of these because she's actually been doing a great job getting into shape as well is it does step tracking and one thing I realized from working at home for a couple years now is that I don't get like nearly as many steps as I did when I would go out and about so if you see that blue bar it goes across the top that's after doing a couple miles walk this morning and I still have a lot more steps that I will hopefully get in today so this has made me realized that I was really being just way way too sedentary in my lifestyle but hopefully that it's helping and it's definitely been encouraging me to do the walks a little bit more regularly I would like to improve the exercise even beyond that I'm not sure if I'm you know considered doing something like eating a bike like like Jays been doing he's been doing really good with that or there's other options too I might even join a gym or that kind of thing who knows that's them I don't know if you guys have any ideas feel free to leave those in the comments link number two though is of course our wonderful puppies right here so this is hero we've had hero for about a year now his name is spelled h iro just in case you're wondering he is a pitbull Mastiff mix and he's actually a little bit older he when we got him they said they thought he was seven years old so he came in as a senior and he is just a wonderful dog he's super mellow most of the time he's incredibly loving he just wants you to pet him all the time so that's that's very nice however as you can tell you know he's got really severely cropped ears and some other stuff that made us think like whoever his previous owners were I mean apart from allowing him to go out on the streets where he was for a few months before we got him not sure how good they were about like training him for walks and stuff like that so he can be a little tough to walk he pulls a lot I've been working with him to try to get him better at that but it can be frustrating so although most of the time he's very mellow and he just wants to see if we can get him to go over for belly rubs you got belly rubs yeah we go yes he just loves getting his belly scratched that's pretty he'll just lie here forever I'll let you do that so anyway though he doesn't know how big he is he's 95 pounds so he can only when he gets excited and he only gets excited in a couple different scenarios which is if I come home after I've been out for a while or if he realizes that we're about to go for a walk so when I was preparing to go for a walk this morning and doing the stuff like putting my running shoes on he noticed and he got super excited and then he when he gets excited Noorie starts to get upset and she starts to bark a little bit and then he ended up jumping up at me and like kind of swatting the side of my face and it irritated me and I was like I don't want to go on a walk and be irritated so I just went without him so I'm sorry hero and so you didn't go for your walk this morning but um well we'll need to take you out later today and no he's over there like we you didn't take me either I didn't do nothing no he's a good girl we got an arrow and she's a puppy and so um you know she kind of makes here look bad sometimes when it comes to going for walks because she's pretty good at it I mean she's had the benefit of training since she was quite young but we're working with Hiro and he will get better so here is my backyard and wow there's there's honestly nothing special about my backyard my backyard is not even supposed to have anything growing in it well you notice there's lots of greenery right now and of course nari is working to scare off cows the cows that are up on the hill over there but yeah my backyard is basically like a big dirt lot most of the time but a couple times a year it rains here in Southern California and then the entire thing just springs up into wildlife greenery and vegetation which you know might look very vibrant right now but since about the beginning of January when I was at CES it has been raining like very regularly so between the rain and things being wet and dogs using it as the restroom at here and me having zero time to get out here to do anything about it so I now have all this growth out here and again as green and vibrant as it might look there is dog guys like every underneath all this in this terrible situation so this is what it comes down to for me for today I'm going to just need to spend the next several hours of the case in point wherever there here here is doing a visual demonstration why don't you just spend the next few hours just like weed whacking all this and trying to pick my way in between the dog and it's not going to be fun so that's why this is the worst video ever and I'm making time less of this and force you guys to watch it so wish me luck ah this is not going to be fun here goes doggies well this third is done not only took like a couple hours I realized that the lawnmower here is doing a much better job and that this is as an effective tool the weed whacker here but definitely takes a lot of time so I'm sweet only all this still to go okay the Sun is starting to go down so I am calling it here because I need to look into setting up some for dinner and stuff here's as far as I got over here and all the way over to like almost there so I kind of caught it off that cutoff there there's like a little bit of a fade or something so I guess I'll call this like something like two thirds maybe maybe three quarters that I got finished so to continue the shittiness of this video I didn't even finish I guess I got to make it a two-parter right I'm just kidding I'm not going to make it a two-parter but Wow I don't even know what I look like right now I'm probably pretty like sweaty and I have grass and all over me and I'm really thirsty I ran out of water a while ago and I need to get more but there's like stuff all over my feet so I can't really go inside anyway so I'm complaining a lot now what I should be looking at is the idea that I spent the day outside I did I did get my steps in I'm I'm up I'm up to that so that is something positive that we can finish this video with anyway I hope you guys have thought this video sucked because I certainly didn't think much for myself in fact I'm nice I would I would be mature as I was doing this if I was going to post it or not but now we'll see we'll see how it actually turns out when I'm all finished rendering time lapses and stuff anyway guys I'll be back soon with an actual video about technology that's not me working my backyard I hope you have a wonderful rest of your day I'm going to go shower because I really really need it see you next time hahahaha
