    If you don’t sell the cages you could see if a local animal rescue or even spca could use them. Keep on doing what you do Mike always entertaining highlight of my week.

    Cover the magnet with something strong and thin like canvas or something. Also, put a handle on the magnet so you don't have to kneel in the juice. Love ya, man.

    @wackyrice1 3 года назад +10

    If you house that magnet in a PVC tube with a cap on the end, attach a rod to magnet with a spring and a top end cover with a hole in it for the rod, you can gather, pull plunger (magnet) and all will fall off the pvc housing. That sure WAS a lucky penny

    Dead Parrot cages, perhaps for the elusive Norwegian Blue, they will regularly sit very quietly in their cage on a shelf :)
    The magnet is a good starting point for things like nuts, blots, washers and small assorted odds and ends, little more difficult where there are lots of stuff and mixed metals.

    @U812GREEN 3 года назад +1

    Magnet fishing at piers and docks and community lake bridges is sometimes pretty good for knives and pliers with a occasional rod and reel. Stronger magnets and longer rope, under and around small rural roadway bridges. Not much telling what you could grab. Great Channel stay safe out there!

      I thought of the same thing, but considering what Mike would be picking up I don't think a cup would hold up long. I was trying to think of something strong and thin like canvas or something.

    That stop light reminded me of my brothers house. He had a stop light that someone wired the lights to change from red to yellow to green with this 3 little button thing he had. My brother had a mount made on it and hung it by the bathroom door near a plug in. When he or his friends would use the bathroom, they would hit the switch to red, and when they was done they would hit the green button

    • @fletch218
      @fletch218 3 года назад +2

      When they were done they probably should have put in on yellow for caution - maybe hold your nose. Then, after 15 minutes, it turns to green. hahahaha
