My first real job was working on an offshore drilling rig in the early 90's. My Redwings outlasted mud, salt water, caustic soda, kicking steel pipes for over two years and my feet never hurt after a 12 hour shift. The company gave us new Redwing boots for a safety award. Later I became a security guard for several years and wore Redwing walking shoes. I've been working in a steel shop for almost 28 years now and wear Redwing plastic toed walking shoes. Can't go wrong with Redwings, you get what you pay for.

That might be the cutest video ever shown on this channel.

I've had about a dozen over the years. Several have been donated to the TSA...

Wes, I have been wearing Red Wing work boots 👢 since 1978. Not the same pair of boots. I bought new ones since then. I never had any uncomfortable feet during break-in at all. They felt comfortable from day one. My last pair were $245.00. I usually need to get new ones between 12 and 15 years. And their slip-on boots with steel toe with a semi-aggressive soul so you won't slip on ice or snow and I've stood in 10 inches of dirty water and they don't leak. Maybe you have just more tender tootsies than I have. lol

SAK are fun, and handy. Another one on that sort of list for me is the Gerber Dime multi-tool (around US$25-30). Very much pocket-sized; I have one in each of my range bags. Another cool item to give "mechanical" people is a sample set of Rare Earth Magnets. It's not obvious just what a person might do with a 5x5x2mm REM, util that light bulb moment. Ditto 2x3diameter ones.

May I suggest "I tried it at home T-shirt" from Amazon. httpx://www.amazon.com/Tried-Home-Science-Project-Funny/dp/B0161T4OIW/ref=sr_1_5?crid=26LTJZA5DAZHQ&keywords=i+tried+it+at+home+t-shirt&qid=1702232495&sprefix=%2Caps%2C94&sr=8-5

I read the Automate Python book to learn Python, then seldom needed it at my new job. The web scraping and spreadsheet creation did come in handy though. Happy Holidays! I used your Maxxeon lights recommendation for my brother-in-law who is a mechanic.

I will have to get that project book. I have spent most of my career in software sales and consulting. From the Standish Group “Only 31% of software projects are successful” so 69% fail. I have seen some massive software boondoggles so I am not surprised at the failure of other big projects. The move from software waterfall development strategies to incremental agile approaches was one way to address that. Project killers are poor requirements elicitation and crappy change management. Many contractors make better percentage profit on change requests than the original project. Gov projects are notoriously costly due to change. Google the Big Dig in Boston sometime.

Happy Holidays you two! Honestly, a real Swiss Army Knife is the perfect gift for any guy you know who's hard to buy for. Been carrying a Tinker for well over 20 years and use it ALL the time

Great video. I just ordered the book “How Big Things Get Done”. It looks like a great book. Thanks for a great year of content and Merry Christmas to you and your family.

Great book as well. I used to think everyone thought in pictures...oops, apparently they don't. Didn't figure out the autistic until 50, there were no resource back when i was younger, especially if you seemed close to the normals. Keep going on the python! I am relearning that as well, did lots of perl years back and some python, now refreshing.

I can't believe the punishment they can take.

I also read her book "Thinking in Pictures" which was interesting. I'm no autistic, but a lot of things she says click with me.

Visual Thinking, fantastic book! I think in pictures as well, more on the pattern matching side than her crazy ability to visualize in front of her. Also likely autistic here and her books are a great resource.
