I've got a great potty training idea for your toddlers. Worked on all six of my kids. Very simple, you get some kind of candy, you put it up high where they can't get to it. If they go number 1 they get one piece of candy, number 2 they get 2 pieces of candy, but if they don't go at all you don't give them any candy. You've gotta be strong. We got all of our six kids potty trained that way. Quick and easy, works like a charm.

I show you how I mix concrete. All I'm doing is putting one fence posts in the ground, so, I don't need a lot to do it. All you need is a five gallon bucket and a trowel and your concrete. Start by having water in your bucket already, and just add a little bit of concrete at a time, little bit of concrete, a little bit of water. Keep stirring till you get the consistency. But here's the big trick. Make sure you only make half buckets because full five gallon buckets are heavy.

Well, the basic tools you need in your car at all times are flashlight, obvious reason you need that. Flathead screwdriver for prying things off, Phillips screwdriver. A lot of the screws in your cars are going to be Philips related channel locks.

Don't laugh at my crescent wrench. You don't need one this gigantic size, unless you're using it for security reasons. They make them a lot smaller, but they'll fit on just about every nut and bolt you have in your car, electrical tape in case some of your wiring comes loose and you have to put it back together.

And duct tape is important. If you have a rupture in any of your coolant lines, sometimes you can wrap the duct tape around that and survive till you get to the next gas station.

Goal setting is important for everybody. I've got a little trick that I've always done and is every night and every morning right by your bed, write down what your goal is on a piece of paper. If your goals is to buy a pair of shoes, get a better job, get a promotion, whatever it happens to be write it down on that piece of paper every night and every morning and it keeps it on the top of your mind, keeps you thinking what you need to do to get there.

When you get in your car, truck in the morning and start it up let it run for a little bit before you put it in gear and start driving off. Gives your fluids a chance to get moving and mechanically it will be much better for the long run. If you start it up and just start driving is like waking up somebody up off the dead sleep and telling them "Go run a marathon."

How to hang Christmas lights. Always make sure to plug them in before you hang them so you don't have to take them down if they are not working. Always follow ladder safety rules. I use a few exterior extension cords and I prefer to put my light on with nails rather than with plastic clips that go in your gutters. I do that because I can wrap the cord around the nails, and it holds tighter so it don't droop.

How to check your oil. Just make sure that your car is relatively level, that it's been sitting for a while. All you do is grab your dip stick, wipe it off with a clean paper towel and you are gonna see a minimal and a maximum fill mark at the end of your dip stick. Then reinsert it all the way in and when you pull it out it's gonna tell you the level of your oil and what color it is, darker means you gotta get an oil change.

Today I'm going to show you how I shave and this is the way my dad taught me and the way I taught all my boys, your way is different. Okay? The first thing you got to do is start with a good quality razor and I use this dollar shave club razor because it has six blades on it. Works good for a guy like me that doesn't have much of a beard and I shave every day. But they do make a four blade for those guys that have heavier beards, the next step is to put on either some shaving cream or some shaving butter. But here's the technique to shaving. Draw yourself an imaginary line from your jawbone straight across your chin, and when you shave, everything from the top goes down to that line, and then everything from the bottom goes up to that line. After you've done your shaving up and down. There might be one or two extra wild hairs around you just got a feel for them and give them a quick pass. And remember, no matter who you are, everybody cuts themselves every once in a while

Make sure to carry a can of "Fix a Flat." If you ever have a flat tire and it's in a place where it's unsafe to try to change it or if you like my daughter and you are not strong enough to get the lug nuts off. A can of "Fix a Flat" will inflate your tire, temporarily plug the hole for you and help you get from where your tire got flat to where you can get it fixed.
