Thanks for stopping by! I'm Matthew.
As a kid, I was endlessly curious. I hatched a leatherback sea turtle in my bedroom and later, built an Ewok hang glider, which I flew off our roof-which overlooked the backyard of a notorious dictator. After escaping South America for Kansas, the Land of Ahs, my mom unveiled family secrets and government experiments that set me on a spiritual odyssey, exploring every secret society and conspiracy out there.
I've earned a degree in religious studies, flipped houses to heal my depression, and worked everywhere from insurance to a Belgian Fry truck to make ends meet. It's been a wild ride, but I've found my purpose: sharing stories of deep spiritual truths, extraordinary adventures, and wildly entertaining travel companions.

I wonder how many people who heard it as just a bank commercial, ever thought of it as a hit.
richard carpenter did
AND only using a wrench on that one bolt,no socket
ive done it several times,it can be done thaty one bolt without taking anything else apart,putting the mother fing pan on is not easy...but it can be done without taking anything else apart...thats laying on the floor....painful
@@thankswillie If you make a video, shoot me over the link!
I didn't read the other comments so maybe someone mentioned this? But you can use a small amount, like a film of RTV to hold the gasket on and then put Bolts in the 4 corners first. I take the gasket out of the box a day or two before. I also remove the whole bracket because squeezing the Plastic tabs to slide it through will ruin it after a few, Since you need to change the Trans oil 3 or 4 times to replace 80%of the oil, you'll Never get it all unless you drop the trans and take it apart, drain Torque Convertor and Trans Cooler in the Radiator, means doing it once helps a bit but doesn't change it all. And last if you have 120 ,ooo or more miles changing it all or most may do more harm than good! And NEVER take an older higher mileage Car-Truck to a Dealer or Shop and have the Trans Flushed , it will fork it up! One very last my S10 took almost 7 quarts on drain and filter.
This is some great advice-I hate to admit it (live and learn), but we are back having issues with the tranny again. It won't go in reverse. Drives forward fine. I've been told its likely a mechanical issue, not a solenoid/servo. I've seen some people try to replace the servo, some add an extension kit-not sure why that's working, but this is the second time with tranny problems. Already put one in that we got from a salvage yard.

Hi Matthew! This was surely a fund video to watch. Thanks for the review! Just for your information, compost you make through reencle is real compost, but just like other compost, you need curing period of 3weeks before you use it. So i'd recommend you to use it having 3 weeks curing and use! Our customers who use tumblers usually put breaking big chunks in tumbler and put it into reencle when its breaks down, or they add compost from reencle to their backyard compost pile so both of them work actually! hope this was helpful to you!
Thanks for stopping by and offering more insight. What do you mean by, "Our customers who use tumblers usually put breaking big chunks in tumbler and put it into reencle when its breaks down."
People be crazy....
Can’t tell whether this is directed at yours truly or the men trying to overthrow Suriname. Maybe this is one of those, “Ask me no questions, I’ll tell you no lies situations.”
It's been a month... whats your opinion? We have a two bin system and a tumbler but we're partly disabled and it's beyond difficult to turn so I've been considering this for over a year. I'd want to go straight into the garden like it says. Something on their website about 1 part reencle to 4 parts soil and let it sit for 3-4 weeks in a bag.... I'd probably just let it sit in my garden beds for a few weeks before planting but yeah lol
I’ve been very happy with how it’s been holding up. The drying feature has worked well when it’s too wet, and it turn into compost quickly. I’ve been adding it to the tumbler, but I may soon cut out the middle man and go straight to the garden. I’ve thought about adding some dirt into a horizontal tumbler to manage the ratios. When trying to empty that vertical tumbler to fill a raised bed the other day, I realized why the guy sold it to me :)
Good stuff!
Thanks! Was a fun little side mission.
This man was genius and Karen Carpenter an angel!
I like the machine, but do you need to prome it every batch, or do you leave some compost in it for the next? Nice idea to add it to the tumbler afterwards. Lets go! Will follow the process with you guys. Have a nice weekend.
You leave a little behind every time and it continues to regenerate. It’s been working pretty well a couple weeks in! Thanks for stopping by!

I have spent a lot of time in that building and it is not haunted at all. Just an old building with creaks and moans. There are no hiding rooms or anything like that. The building ceased being a Masonic Temple (Now called Masonic Centers in Iowa) in the early 90's and has been remodeled in multiple stages since. A lot of rooms that were separate have been conjoined and a few new walls were put in to form office space. I joined the lodge about two decades after the building was sold but have gone through it with those who were Masons when it was sold.
Thanks for chiming in! I can rationalize the lights flickering on in an old building, and perhaps even the elevators acting up. However, a more challenging phenomenon to explain logically is the door that was propped open by a 5-gallon bucket filled with hammers. How did it close on its own, and why did the bucket return to its original spot? Additionally, we need an explanation for the accounts of footsteps sounds heard by multiple individuals on a supposedly vacant floor. Also, I'm curious about your thoughts on the hidden chamber leading to the shaft in the floor. Do you have any insights?

Great video, but I think you took out a deep pan filter and added a shallow pan filter. This could damage your tranny.
That's good to know! Had the tranny looked at and ended up needing to get it swapped out at a local salvage yard. But now I know in case I need to perform this operation again :) How often do you need to switch out the pan filter?

My fuel pump went out on my 1962. I think Cushman truckster. I cannot find one online. Does anybody know if I can get a rebuild kit for mine? please help.
I bought an electric fuel pump on line made for go carts. it has to be 3- 4 psi and replace your oil pressure sensor with one with 3 contacts 2 contact compelet the cicurt when cranking and oil pressure is above 5 psi.
I have an issue with my 82 not wanting to take any gas it just pukes it into the carb. Pulled the intake horn off and it all ran out 😅 took the carb off I can't see anything dirty or stuck, but there's a rubber tube that goes down under it to another plate with 4 bolts and it will not take any air
That’s a bummer that people were so close. I watched a expedition unknown and there was two people, a husband and a wife or boyfriend and girlfriend. I can’t remember that were following the clues, the exact same way as it was found and they were 100% sure that they were correct and it’s crazy because I was watching it and I was listening to him talk about how the cold water still and I was 100% on it with that because you would have to go where the warm waters stop and I was like maybe they’re on to something and they were within 50 feet of finding the treasure😅 I mean I’m glad you guys enjoyed yourself but I would be like no I mean a lot of people are upset because they didn’t find it. We knew that was gonna happen onto the next one and I’m glad the force finn was still alive when it was found.
I'm with you all the way, glad it was found. I still loved the thrill of the chase, and I feel like I had a pretty decent theory. Plus, I got to see places in Taos and Yellowstone that I'd never seen before-and wasn't that the whole purpose of FF's doing all this? Mission accomplished!
I would assume they still use the building secretly. They opperate in secret. Tunnels lead all around the country.
lol, yes. Masons often get confused with the Mole People. Easy mistake to make.

My ex-gf went hunting for the treasure, and guess who we ran into while hunting? Forest Fenn.
GTFO! Let's hope she wasn't hunting in the last two years.

I was writing a novel about a group of NYer fish-out-of-waters hunting for the treasure prior to tying the knot. I learned years later my ex had plagiarized my artwork 7 years prior to us dating/hunting for the gold; this was back in NYC; her plagiarism launched her whole art/teaching career with it--and never told me, not even when we dated.

Would love to see more photos or things you’ve found out about it!
Also, i am located in Sant Cruz , keepin it weird here
@@fliptopmedia If you are keeping it weird, you've come to the right place. Its been a minute, so trying to dig back into the archives: It was a 1965 Tular, aka Pony Express Triwheeler, three speed with reverse shift on the column. Patented and designed by Robert Von Heck, it has a manual transmission and was designed to out perform the Cushmans and Westcoasters for mail delivery back in the day. According to Von Heck himself: It is a very rare survivor 'PonyExpress' triwheeler that I designed and patented & prototyped for the USPS back in 1964, which won a design-contest awarding initial production/contract for 65,000 to then German-owned TAPCO Inc. of Van Nuys, California. While exceedingly well-made, with full-2" tubular-steel frame, and stability far superior to the crude earlier Cushman Mailster, only some 350 units were actually produced. (A Cushman tipped over, killing its driver, and the Postmaster in his Limousine on the way to his Washington DC USPS, office picked up his car-phone in an ignorant panic reaction, and canceled the entire order on this wonderful advanced-design!!!) I never made a dime on the contract; -however, I still have the prototype & patent, and am contemplating a modern electric-powered version." The engine is a Onan CCK two cylinder engine. You can still find parts for them as they are used often as generators and with RVs I think. Couple of links for you: minutia-microcarsminicars.blogspot.com/2009/01/is-it-cushman-truckstera-mailsteror.html www.gao.gov/products/b-160834#mt=summary dspace.wrlc.org/doc/get/2041/53531/b20f13-0219udisplay.pdf (link broken, but you may be able to email the address on the screen to track down the old article). barnfinds.com/1965-tapco-pony-express/.

Your solve is precise imo:)
Thanks, I think so too ;)
Love the photos at the End. You found your treasure.
Indeed! And thanks for stopping by.
A logical solution to the puzzle: The poem begins with the epilogue. After that, the clues to the path and the place where he deposited the treasure begin. Where the description of the place and route alternate from stanza to stanza: Begin it where warm waters halt (path: starts at the confluence of the Boiling River and the Yellowstone River) And take it in the canyon down (location) Not far but to tar to walk (way: 10 miles which is better to drive by car) Put in below the home of Brown (location: under the winter roost of a brown bear) From there it's no place for the meek (way: through strong white water) The end is ever drawing night (location: the end is not far away) There'll be no paddle up your creek (path: current is too strong) Just heavy loads and water high (location: rocks and deep water) The description of the canyon at Osprey Falls follows in the epilogue.
