- Hey, what's up guys? Welcome back to another vlog.
Today we're gonna do something a little different.
We're gonna show you guys what Bryce's chore routine is.
Every week he's in charge of the pool.
So that means skimming, brushing,
putting chemicals, the bobber, the chlorine bobber,
mowing the front and backyard.
Picking up dog poop.
And anything else that's in the outdoors realm.
Whereas Sierra's got the inside.
So I thought today we'd show you what Bryce's chore routine is.
Alright dude, so what's up first?
- Poops. - [Clintus] Poops!
You got poops.
Before he mows, he's got to pick up the dog poop so he doesn't
run it over and get it stuck in the lawnmower.
Ew. - [Bryce] Ew.
- [Clintus] Our dog poops about what?
Two or three times a day? - [Bryce] Yeah.
- [Clintus] Something like that.
And, of course, he leaves it here all week so he's got like
10 piles to pick up when it's time to do it.
(wind blowing)
(lawnmower running)
- [Clintus] Tiff's in the kitchen. Preparing Taco Tuesday.
- [Tiffany] I feel like I've done this before. (chuckles)
- [Clintus] What?
- Cutting up tomatoes and onions.
- [Clintus] Yep, every week, right?
Does it ever get tiring?
- Nah. - [Clintus] Nah.
We love tacos.
- Yeah, I mean we switch up the tacos.
- [Clintus] Right.
- So today's gonna be shredded chicken tacos in the Crock Pot.
- [Clintus] Ooh.
- [Tiffany] They've been in here for,
about, eh, five hours. - [Clintus] Oh.
- [Tiffany] So we're gonna have to--
- [Clintus] It's gonna shred it.
It's gonna shred it real good.
Baby was outside but she does not like the sound of the
lawnmower so she came inside. Huh? Huh?
So of course, Bryce is not thrilled to do his chores.
And I think it was maybe two or three weeks ago Tiffany was
like, "Why don't you get your phone and listen to music?
"You got a headset, headphones."
And it was like a light bulb went off.
He was like, "Oh yeah. That'd make it a lot better."
The last two or three times he's mowed the grass,
now he looks forward to it.
"Aw, yeah, I'm gonna throw on my headset.
"Put on some music,"
'cause we have Google Play, Google Music.
And so, he's got pretty much any song he
can think of at his fingertips.
And once he realized that he was like,
he actually not that big a deal to do the lawn.
He's jamming out to something.
We'll have to ask him what he's jamming out to.
Alright, all done with the yard. - Yeah.
- [Clintus] What's next?
- Pool. - [Clintus] Pool.
What do you got to do with the pool?
- Check the chemicals, skim, brush.
And put the chemicals in.
- [Clintus] Alright, let's do it.
What's that?
- Test strips. - [Clintus] Test strips.
- I like the sound of it when it opens.
(lid pops)
- There's these four little squares.
When you dip 'em in the water they change colors.
The top one's chlorine.
Basically the one that I'm going to pay attention to 'cause
that's the main one.
And in-between that rectangle,
if the color is in-between that rectangle that's fine.
It's good.
So you want all four colors to be in-between those rectangles.
So then...
- [Clintus] Where we at?
- [Bryce] The chlorine is right in-between so that's good.
That one's in-between, that one's good.
That one's good.
- [Clintus] They're all pretty good, man. Nice job.
So then what does that mean?
- It means I've put in the,
I forgot what they're all called,
there's chemicals that you put in when everything's good and
there's chemicals that you put in when everything's bad.
- [Clintus] So we're gonna put the chemicals in that's good.
Basically if chlorine's low we put shock in it.
Since the chlorine's good, then we just use a detergent.
It just kinda cleans the water.
If the acid or pH balances was out,
we'd acid or we'd add phosphor sulfite.
I don't know.
There's basically a chemicals that you put into the pool
dependent on which direction on the squares it is.
Since it's right down the middle of the squares,
all we need to do is throw some detergent in just to keep the
water clean and we add more chlorine tablets to the little
bobber and it's money.
So this is the stuff we put in if the chlorine levels are good.
It's like a shock but it's not chlorine.
It's called Fresh and Clear, I think.
Yeah, so one scoop of that, right?
- [Bryce] Mhmmm.
- [Clintus] Don't breathe that in.
(groans)
Kinda spreadin' it around? - [Bryce] What?
- [Clintus] Just kinda spreadin' it around?
- Yeah, I normally do it on all four sides.
- [Clintus] All four sides? Smart.
And then you're gonna brush it anyways, right?
So you're gonna stir it around.
- Remember when I did this with the bags?
I'd have to actually brush it
'cause like it would get all stuck in the water.
- [Clintus] Yeah. Good job.
Alright, so there's the chlorine bobber.
It's feeling a little light.
Getting low on chlorine? Okay.
- [Bryce] Still a lot more but like...
- [Clintus] Should get some more.
Alright, so what's last?
- [Bryce] Brushing and skimming.
- [Clintus] Brushing and skimming. You gotta clean it.
So come over here, pull this.
This is where all the leaves go that are on the top.
And as you can see, it's pretty full.
- 71. - [Clintus] 71.
Gettin' there.
Last little thing.
Brushing all the stuff. What's the point of brushing it?
- So you could push all the stuff to the suction which is in
the middle and so it could suction all of the dirt.
- [Clintus] Suction's in the middle.
Yeah, we have what's basically called a self-cleaning pool.
It does a really good job
but it obviously doesn't get everything.
- Okay, what do you do it you don't have that thing?
- [Clintus] Well no, so everyone's got that but
we got the little pop-ups.
Otherwise you have, oh no, you know what?
If you don't have that thing,
you have a vacuum that runs around.
Like Papa. - Like Papa.
- [Clintus] Like Papa's, yeah.
So we've got suction in the middle.
That thing in the middle that
I don't even think you guys can see.
It's like a grate.
It's about, probably, three feet long.
And then there's all these pop-ups in the pool that pop up
and it shoots water out, it pushes everything in there.
Like I said, it does a really good job.
But we do help it out a little bit.
We got to push everything, stir everything around so
that when the jets hit it, it pushes it all to the middle.
So you guys remember last year we came back from a trip,
I forget where we went, and the pool was a disaster.
It was brown.
It was dirt and tons of dirt, leaves, all that stuff.
The pool was nasty.
I'll have it in the cards right here if you guys want to check
it out and I want to say it took me maybe like four days and the
pool was almost back to like normal.
The pool does a really good job of cleaning itself as long as
all the valves are turned the right way and all the filters
are empty so it has plenty of water pressure.
So yeah, we're really fortunate to have a pool like that.
I told Bryce he's lucky 'cause when I was a kid
I had to brushing and skimming way more often because
I was the only thing cleaning the pool.
So one last thing Bryce has to do is he's got to put two
capfuls of this brown stuff, another chemical,
into the water.
What that does it is basically removes phosphates and it lets
the water use less chlorine.
It's a pretty cool thing.
We didn't have that when I was a kid.
I had to put tablets in that bobber pretty much every day.
Haha, childproof.
Got it.
- [Bryce] I always pour this too fast.
- [Clintus] You got it. Perfect.
- [Bryce] Yeah, it's full.
- [Clintus] See it? There it is.
- [Tiffany] Woo. - [Clintus] I think it's done.
- [Tiffany] You think?
- [Clintus] It smells really good.
- [Tiffany] Yeah, I'm gonna add some of the juice
so it's not dried out.
- [Clintus] Perfect. And we've got dinner.
The chicken, the rice and the beans, the fixin's.
The Sierra. How's it goin'? - Good.
- [Clintus] How was school?
- Good. - [Clintus] Good?
Yeah, we already talked to you, Bryce.
We already talked to you.
Sierra just got home from school.
Hello. - Hi.
- [Clintus] Yeah, but they taste so good though.
- So good. - [Clintus] Yeah.
Yeah, corn tortillas are definitely the more flimsy ones
and honestly too it's store-bought.
If you have homemade ones, they're a little thicker.
You know, a little stretchier.
- You wouldn't use flour for like a taco though.
- [Clintus] You could. Some places serve flour, yeah.
I prefer corn. - Some places have flour.
- I was just telling Tiffany how these two crack me up
'cause one day they're best friends.
They can't do anything without each other.
They just buddy up and have the best time.
And then the next day they're like (mimicking angry yelling).
They can't stand each other. "Get away from me." Bah!
Everything they say or do the other one has to reaction to.
Brothers and sisters I guess, right?
But for the most part they get along really well and
we couldn't be more proud.
Alright girls just went off to volleyball.
I don't think Tiffany took the camera.
So no volleyball footage.
But that's our Tuesday routine.
Girls go to volleyball, Bryce and I stay home.
He plays video games with his friends.
I'm gonna go do a stream with some of my friends.
And then when Sierra gets back
we'll come back downstairs and watch "The Flash".
So that's the next thing to come.
Alright you guys, fast forward a couple hours later.
The girls are back from volleyball.
Tiffany's already actually in bed.
Sierra's on the couch after her shower.
We're getting ready to kick on "The Flash".
Bryce is wrapping up a game of Fortnite and
I just got out of the shower.
So pretty chill evening.
Had some fun, Destiny 2.
Destiny 2's getting hyped again, guys.
The new DLC's coming out.
Pretty excited about it, May 8th.
So we're playing some D2.
It's good stuff.
How's practice? - Good.
- [Clintus] Anything new or exciting?
- No.
- [Clintus] Just gettin ready for Vegas, huh?
- Yep.
- [Clintus] Excited about it? - Mhmmm.
- [Clintus] Yeah!
Yeah, so just a quick head's up, we're gonna be heading to Vegas
this weekend for a big
volleyball tournament with Sierra's team.
So you guys will be getting vlogs from Vegas,
traveling, while we're there, volleyball, all that good stuff.
So stay tuned for that, for sure.
I meant to bring the camera on the couch while we watched
"The Flash" and talk to the kids after the episode but
got totally into the episode and
totally forgot to grab the camera.
They went to bed.
I caught up on some things online
and now I'm gonna go to bed.
So that's our vlog.
Thanks for watching.
Thumbs up if you liked it.
More in the "i" in the sky and we'll see you guys next time.
Vlog on.
