WHY AM I LIKE THIS?!

I'm working hard to get all of my equipment ready for Blue Crab Season 2023! There's still a ton of work to do and crab season is fast approaching.

get a piece of cardboard and push the screws into them in a line and label where they go to

[@MegaPancakes]

Real men of genius

[@fvsoutherngirl]

That’s an award winning good idea!

[@alexboyer7515]

​@@fvsoutherngirl taking pictures to reference after is not a bad idea either.

[@johnhamilton9229]

Rip some duct tape and fold over. Label tape. I gotta hand it to you. That’s a deep dive doing dock side maintenance.

[@gruffytickles8076]

He first has to find the cardboard, find a pen or sharpie this all takes valuable time and energy. Simply putting them down and forgetting saves a ton of time on the front end. Cardboard works great I know a few engine builders that use the cardboard trick, I've done it. Works a treat

[@Em_Echo]

The Jet Mate! We called ‘em hot tubs! Super quirky and FUN.

[@indianaforever317]

The idea of gym equipment making power for the gym is genius. If the crabbing falls through I think you just found something to fall back on. Hahaha love the content!

[@softstart100]

My life of 72 yrs now is and was fake it till you make it, which has helped me get to retirement at which time I fake til I make it. You are a joy to watch. Keep on with your videos.

You're a great example of dedication and hard work- definitely makin' your parents proud 💪🏼 they raised you tough and honest👍🏼

[@fastback57deloach27]

You kill me Luke! Really enjoy your common sense approach to life and your work ethic. Wait did I just say “work ethic “? Keep up the great videos my friend, they really are terrific! 😮❤❤

[@fvsoutherngirl]

Thanks for watching!! You’re always so supportive!

[@MatthewBradley1]

I work like that too. It’s an ADHD thing for me. I usually put fasteners back with the thing they’re meant to attach but sometimes I just get too busy and distracted and have to figure everything out the hard way later. 😂

[@fvsoutherngirl]

Pretty much exactly how my life works too 😂

[@sassyseminole2217]

You just make me laugh so much. So glad you are making videos, I need to laugh more ! 🤣

[@fvsoutherngirl]

I’m really glad I can make you laugh!

[@fvsoutherngirl]

That’s one of my favorite things to do is make people laugh!

[@lastcastipromise5762]

I love how true and open you are! It’s amazing!

[@pah3108]

TOTALLY AGREE👍🏼

[@annesmith6939]

We need to meet your parents!! I love to meet the people who raised you.. Your great..

[@penney304]

Luke, watching you is like watching me. I was nearly in tears with the screws in little piles. I do the same thing. Although I have gotten a little better at keeping things somewhat together. I bought a handful of markers (because l can never find one when I need it) and some small snack baggies, instead of writing on the bag, I use the back of an old business card or something like that and label what's in the bag. I wish I could say it gets better as you get older but I'd be lying. Your doing a great job on the boat.

[@jont0315]

You talk about the gym and your perspective about people having routines and just knowing what to do. I feel exact same way about you crabbing. But you know what to and whats going on and you have a routine. And you have that through learning and repetition. Same applies to the gym my guy🤘🏾

[@theoreinecke4867]

I am totally in agreement with you. I am 68 and still working on my boat , it never ends .I like your style and enthusiasm well done young man . 🇦🇺👍

[@AmericansWillRise]

Ziplok bags and markers! I was typing it, when you said it!! 😂😂😂

[@novashart]

"Encino Man" from 1992 with Brendon Fraser as the caveman. Good movie!

[@mlguy8376]

Over here in the UK that movie is called “California man” it had a funny vhs case.

[@slimrosco]

I absolutely love your comments about the gym and not wanting to exert energy unless you are getting paid. Amazing logic and I approve.

[@capecarcentertowing4876]

So funny luke my brother im lmao because i think its me your talking about ! you are so cool too !

[@troydennis9449]

I do the same thing with the screws!! 🤣🤣 I feel you man!

[@fvsoutherngirl]

It’s a toxic trait!

[@willrider2401]

I guess I’m not the only one with the power screws left in the boat. Let me give you guys a little suggestion. I keep all my extra screws in my boat toolbox right next to the flare that way when I’m sinking and I reach for a flair. I look at the screws and remember oh yeah that’s why I’m sinking

[@williamwoldt2174]

Luke, you're the real deal, our government needs to be cleaned out and filled with people like you. A good attitude and great values to make America great again, just wishful thinking. Your content is real and full of life, and that's why I enjoy them so much. Good luck and best whishes and keep the fantastic videos coming.

[@mattrowe7322]

You get the cheap foam cups and write on the cup what they go to.when your tearing something apart you stack the cups inside of each other then you remember what order to put it back together again and what screws and bolts go to that part.

[@joannagibbons2616]

Thank you keep up the good work

[@Kahuna54]

I’m currently drywalling my garage, whoopee!

[@mikeg7843]

Man you remind me of myself so much 😂 so many piles of screws and squirrel distractions in every direction 😂 once ya start putting things back together the screws will magically go back to their proper homes 🤘🏼

[@fvsoutherngirl]

I hope so! 😂

[@shireridingfisherman4458]

Lol. That splash guard on the jetsons boat looks like one of those cones they put on a dogs head after surgery. Get the baggies. It’s worth it. I work on CNC machines & get as quickly distracted as you. It’s much easier to come back to bagged & tagged hardware.

[@fvsoutherngirl]

It totally does 😂

[@bpd231martinko9]

I have about 25 of those magnetic dishes from Harbor Freight that I use when disassembling things in my shop. I keep them in a line on the bench in the order that I take stuff apart. the only problem is that you need to super glue the magnets to the bottom of the dishes before you use them because they ALL fall apart the first time you use them. Works for me, I'm sure everyone out there knows what I mean about the magnet coming off ...

[@markroper9269]

Baggies, post it notes and sharpies are your friends!! Put the screws(things) in the baggie, write what they are and where they go on the post it note with the sharpie, and put the note in the bag of screws. It happens EVERY TIME! Bags and bags of stuff....I have worked around and probably don't need anymore. Ugh!! LOL...fish out of water. Anyone gives you stink eye..... invite them down for a "waterman" workout fixing up the boat!!!! Those are mini-jet boats!! Hell yeah brother!!

Hey Luke.. Love your channel!! I'm a carpenter for a living, but I grew up and still live on Kent Island. I'm from a family of woodworkers, piledrivers, and watermen. If you ever need help with labor, material, tools, etc...let me know. I'd be more than happy to help with whatever I can! I'm looking forward to watching you this coming season. Good luck, bud.

[@dwayneroberts6616]

Brother I'm just like you. I do the same stuff working on my boat. I'll be working on something go to get a tool and pass by something that needs attention and start working on it. Instead of just finishing what I'm working on then getting to it. The next thing you know I'm working on 4 different things at the same time. I'm so sick of climbing in and out of the boat because I forgot something 😂. I'm in Florida so I'm working in phenomenal heat and every day it rains multiple times. I sit in that pure white shining tub and sweat to death 😅 I did 12 hrs on it yesterday cracked a rib and completely dehydrated myself. All this for a fishing/pleasure craft that sucks the money and sweat out of me and doesn't make a dime for me😂. Sometimes I wonder why being on the water is so important to me. I spend more time working on the boat and trailer and doing maintenance than I do on the water😂. Actually I know why I do it. It's that beautiful smile on my wifes face when we are out on the lake. I'm still new to boating so I enjoy being out there but there's always that sense of responsibility and dread of dealing with the dock and re loading the boat on the trailer.

Zip loc baggies and a sharpie - put your screws in those - you can label and help you remember !!! I love seeing the work on the boat - really good stuff - what about the other boat you bought - did that make it back to maryland ??? Maybe just maybe those people at the gym were staring because they recognized you from TikTok or KZbin and were just too star struck to come up and say Hi !!!! PS I love Jimmys Famous seafood now - found them because of you !!! Can’t wait for next video !!!
