Now that things are starting to warm up just a little outside, it's the perfect time to build a snowman, or two. The snow we saw over the past several days has been very dry and powdery, especially with the below zero temperatures. It's starting to melt some and that makes for prefect packing for snowballs and snowman building. You need the snow to be a little wet so you can get it to stick and shape. Now's the time to get out there and build the perfect snowman before it all melts away.

I can't believe it's taken this long for someone, hell anyone to make a detailed video on the finer arts of how to boil water. Where was this a few weeks ago when I tried and failed to correctly boil some water?

Finally there's an instructional video on how to open a closed gate. I'm really surprised it's taken this long! If like myself you struggle with opening gates, this video is for you. This guy goes into the finer points on gate opening like pushing versus pulling. A real must see!

You're just a few short minutes away from learning how to properly skin a watermelon impressing the hell out of everyone at your next party or backyard BBQ.
