What a cutie he is! This episode made my heart swell at least two sizes bigger. Though I'm a girl, my grandfather taught me so much about so many things, including working with tools. He wasn't nearly as patient as you are with Drox, though. --Jessica from Florida 🌞

So good to hear from you. Yes, I hope he can spend a lot of the summer with me. You will be meeting some of my other grandchildren too. Drox is one of 15 (so far).

I got the biggest smile when I saw Drox in this video! I loved this one! So many awesome moments. Some had me laughing out loud! Like Drox using the sledgehammer that weighed more than him & closing the mustard bottle against your shirts! I loved that you let Drox lift the old fire extinguisher up out of the snow with the loader and everything else that you teach him. He has a treasure that he may not realize just yet in his relationship with you! It’s wonderful to watch. You’re a good Grandpa!!

Hello Katie Bee. Drox keeps me in chuckles all day long. He is a keeper for sure. I tasted that Heidelberg and quickly spit it out. Completely flat and very strong alcohol content.

Hi! U have a great helper there. Drox acts like he really wants to learn--that's awesome. Stella just loves that boy. She is a great dog. Drox is very lucky to have a grandfather that wants to teach him everything. I use to go with my grandfather & learned a lot from him. He did everything by hand. Didn't believe in a lot of mahines. He had 2-1947 Alex-chambers & did all his plowing after his horse team died. He died at 86 & still was doing his own plowing & working around the farm. Those were the wonderful times I have with him & going camping. Be safe & God Bless.. Phoenix

Gale, looks like a major project your fixing to take on. Good thing Drox is around to help! Stella seems willing to give a paw also. Looks like she was really wanting to help with that burger. Looking forward to this adventure, and the great videos. Take care, be safe.

Great to see Drox and Grandpa together again. The old Confucian saying is so evident in your interaction: tell me and I forget, show me and I remember, involve me and I understand. Great to see you helping Drox let his learning come out and experimenting with techniques and tools. My father once said when I was trying to lift a full wheelbarrow after clearing the garden 'Use all your strength'. I was so frustrated when I couldn't until he said that I wasn't using all the strength I had. I said that I was and it went back and forward until my dad said 'But you haven't asked me'. Only when I stood between his arms (he was 6'2") and I was little did we BOTH lift the wheelbarrow. I've never forgotten the lesson and I use that illustration even when I pray. Drox will never forget these days helping Grandpa (Papa) and we are blessed by your openness to share these simple lessons by HOW you do things as well as WHAT you do. Be blessed friend. (PS Sorry I was late in viewing the vid but I was with Laura's family celebrating my mother in law's 80th birthday over the weekend).

Oh, these delightful signs of the arrival of spring! At first, you hear the barely audible murmur of the first streams coming from under the snow, then, one day, as if by a wave of a conductor's baton, all these streams merge into one polyphonic orchestra marking the arrival of spring! A unique feeling of delight that does not lose the sharpness of perception over the years. Regarding the found treasure with Heidelberg beer! Indeed, drinks with a low alcohol content, at temperatures below 40 degrees Celsius, would have to freeze and explode, but!!! - an amazing fact is that while the bottle is in a static state, that is, in a state of complete rest, and the fermentation process continues very slowly, the bottle does not burst even at very low temperatures, but if you knock the bottom of the bottle (provided that it happens in the cold -25-30 C) on the surface of the table, the contents instantly freezes and the bottle explodes in your hands! It's amazing, but a fact! I dare to assume that by tearing the fire station out of the "shackles of ice", you deformed the circumference of the wheel... Watching how you spend time with your grandson is a great pleasure! Children at this age absorb any information like a sponge, so the learning process takes place imperceptibly, unobtrusively and in the form of a game. Drox doesn't even realize how much he is learning at the moment! I would like to be curious: - to what depth does the "permafrost" thaw in your latitude during the summer period? I will look forward to the next episode, and I wish you health, good luck and prosperity!

Good morning Nadezhda. Thank you so much for your comments. I enjoyed reading them. We tasted one of the beers and found it completely flat but with very strong alcohol content. It was interesting to find them unbroken. So unusual. I too love the arrival of the seasons, both summer and winter. I never tire of them. The depth of the permafrost here is something that would require core drilling to determine. The original shop here is on solid gravel and has stood the test of time without any frost jacking at all. So there isn't any frost in that area at all. Thanks so much for being here.

Thank you for wording it so beautifully. Peace

Hello Gale, Tanya and Drox!! I'm late with my comments on this video . . . it has been an arduous week for us. Finally, yesterday - Thursday - our lives suddenly got a LOT better, for which we are very grateful. (Divine intervention!) And, we finally had the opportunity to watch your WONDERFUL video. We both sat and laughed like crazy over the "slap-stick" type interactions between you, Gale and your grandson: Red Plaid shirts, Blue Plaid shirts, brushing your teeth outside with water in your mugs, and on-and-on. Drox, despite his young age, is giving you a run for your money, Gale! He was toe-to-toe with you, matching wit for wit! Watching the two of you, who obviously love each other, a person would think that all is right with the world! And, in spite of the negative garbage bombarding us all, mostly from the east, I believe that positive and grateful energy will ALWAYS win over negativity and evil. You and your family are truly evidence of that. We surely missed your sweet face, Tanya, on this video but your presence is ubiquitous! Who else could have dressed those two "clowns" in matching outfits for the camera?! Last night, before we turned out the lights for the night, Fred and I sat in bed, talking about how truly wonderful our lives have been and how much we have been blessed for the last 16 years. I believe our ability to see the good in our lives is directly related to you-all being a part for the past year. You're teaching all of us who follow your lives how really important gratitude is. And for your gratitude, we are grateful, too. Love to you all! Leslie Ann & Fred

There is no better validation of joy than to see it reflected in the face of youth while they participate in your adventures. Well done!

It's nice to be back in the wonderful atmosphere of the channel "This is my Alaska". Every time I say "This is my Alaska", I smile inwardly, because this is my Alaska too - it was, at least once upon a time, mine, .. Every summer, me, at the age of 6-7 years sent to my grandfather in the village. My grandfather was a cabinet maker, and I loved to watch him handle chisels, planers, scribers, and measuring tools. But most of all I adored when my grandfather put a square piece of wood into the spindle of a lathe and with the help of cutters turned it into a figured leg of a future chair. The smell of wood, shavings falling on the floor and an unforgettable atmosphere of being present at the "birth" of a finished wooden product. Grandfather always told something, explained, shared secrets. I was still very young to understand all the nuances - so it seemed to me. 55 years have passed since then, but every time I do something, make, repair, I remember the lessons that my grandfather taught me a long time ago! Drox, more than once, throughout his life, will remember all the little lessons that you teach him! And I am sure that every time a mysterious smile will appear on his face when he mentally remembers his wonderful grandfather!

I always enjoy reading your comments Timofey. I would love to sit on the porch and share a cup or two of coffee with you and just visit for awhile.

@@ThisIsMyAlaska I am sure that we would have found something to tell each other, because there are many topics for conversation! Each of us has a huge life experience, behind the "shoulders". But, unfortunately, at first covid divided the world, and now Russia has separated from the whole world due to "unsurpassed" toxicity! LOL. We are still relatively young, and if God allows, then one day we will meet and talk over a cup of coffee..

Drox is a great help and what a great teacher. Your family is amazing. Thank you for sharing what beautiful family values look like.

Teresa, he’s a great little helper and he’s growing up fast. Thank you for the lovely comment/ compliment. We truly wish you all the best.

Drox's smile lights up a room. And the way he beams when he looks at you Gale and talks with you leaves no doubt how much he loves you and loves being with you. Watching the two of you work together and laughing brings back many memories of growing up in my grand father's carpentry shop. He was a master carpenter. And also very dear memories of working carpentry projects with my Daddy. Our last project together was the summer of 2015 when we built the outdoor cat enclosure for my cats that I love the way you love Stella. I had a huge smile on my face when Drox was trying to wield that wrecking hammer. I feel sure that the sledge weighed as much if not more than Drox. But that did not stop him from trying............What did you do with all the junk that you cleared from that room?? I was shocked when the camera opened on the room where you were stacking the new lumber. I hope that you have at least a 40 yard dumpster. Thanks for a video showing the sweet interaction between you and your sweet grandson. Everyone should be fortunate enough to have such a loving grandpa. By the way....what do you grandkids call you???

Dona, I am fortunate to have such an adoring helper as Drox- adoring and adorable 😉. I love that you have fond memories of working with your grandfather & father, such memories are a great blessing. Someday Drox will grow into that hammer but today is not that day, still it is fun to watch him give it a go. We sure have a fun time and I hope one day when he is grown, he will remember these times with the same fondness that you have looking back. Thank you so much for the wonderful and thoughtful comment. Warmest regards to you friend.

Love how you teach with love and allow Drox those moments to be a kid playing with Stella!!

Thanks so much Kathleen. Some of my most enjoyable videos are when I start the camera running, leave the room and just leave Drox and Stella alone. They are a riot.

Welcome back Drox, it was so good to see you again. I was asking about how you were doing last Month on the "Why is this Cabin on Skis" video But I don't think your Grandpa saw it lol. Gale you have a wonderful family there and Drox will have so many grand memory's of the two of you working together. The knowledge you are passing on will last him a lifetime, and can be put to good use if he so chooses. Thank you for the video as always, you guy's have a wonderful weekend.

Thanks so much Stubby. I like to spend the evening sitting with Drox going over these comments. He loves to respond to them as well. I will see if I can get his attention for a while this weekend and have him answer some of these comments himself. I treasure the time with my grandchildren. Drox is one of 15 so you may be meeting more of them soon.

я ничего не понимаю, но с радостью смотрю и потписалась. за 40 минут ты построил целый дом. ВАУ. удчи вам - всей вашей семье. всегда интересно, как люди живут в других землях.

I am so happy to see Drox back! He sure lights up when he looks at his Grandpa! He has such a beautiful smile and has really made my day. I might even be able to get some work completed that has been waiting far too long!

@@ThisIsMyAlaska Spring has been slow to emerge here as well. Spokane daytime temps remain in the low 50s with flurries, graupel and rain; even recorded a couple of tornadoes in the area last week. BTW. I keep thinking about the off-grid power house ever since you posted the foundation work last fall. Is that in your summer schedule?

Gale, Good morning. I didn't get to watch until this morning( Monday) due to work. Its great to see Drox, and how you go about trying to teach him the trades and life lessons. Sure looks like the shop job is going to be quite the undertaking. That said, I have been amazed at what you have accomplished to date. I never knew my Dads parents, and my Moms were older when I was a kid. My father in law had built every house he ever lived in and I really enjoyed working and learning with him. Your going to have quite the helper as he grows older. Cherish every moment with your family while you can. Life throws you curves every once in awhile, and you regret not making time to spend time with the ones you love. God Bless, Pete

Good morning Pete. Thank you for your friendship and your wonderful admonition. I believe you are correct. Life is all about our relationships isn't it. Accomplishments, possessions, etc. don't carry much satisfaction at the end of it all. People are really the only important thing. At least that is what I have observed thus far in my life. Peace

You two even had matching colored hats😁 the greatest compliment is a mini-me or in Drox's case a bigger-me💚 Wonderful video, again, thank you.
