Another video Wednesday, below is a video I made fom several videos I took while snorkeling in Playa Flamingo, Costa Rica last April. And I added the music.
I am interested in audio and video editing. I’ve been getting familiar with a program called OpenShot, a free, open source video editing program.
Saturday morning we got another pooch, Daisy Dukes.
She gets along quite well with Lenny, and she is terrified of the cats. She is about 10 months old. She has peed in the house three times since Saturday .
I know you’re wondering, ” What classification of dawgs are those?” Well, Lenny is classified as a “Little Cuppa Sugar” dawg, while Daisy falls in the “Real Cutie Patootie” category.
Also there are caterpillars. I haven’t seen any of this type in years, on Cayman Brac.
Quite pretty, not sure if they’re destructive, this one certainly isn’t hurting the concrete porch.
And it’s a Monday, boy I tell ya, this upcoming week has been exhausting!
I came here to post this morning, but so far, all I’ve done is watch yesterdays bowling robot video. I love it. I find it mesmerising
Slept good last night, except I woke up when the cat took a shortcut, running across me in the middle of the night. And there was lots of loud thunder.
Haven’t mentioned it yet, but I’m thinking about it a lot, 50 years ago Apollo 11 was on it’s way to the moon. I remember watching it on TV. I was 9. I remember being in my classroom (3rd grade) when Apollo 1 caught fire, killing the crew. I think I was watching TV and heard Apollo 13 say “Houston, we’ve had a problem” live.
Part of me wonders, “How could I have not known then, that I’d be writing this now?” Seems crazy, but it seems like back then I had very little to no concept of the future.
Cloudy today. But it should be a nice weekend. I think I might be getting a cold though, sore throat yesterday, stuffy nose today. Hope I don’t get sick.
I’m looking for video editing software. I’ve got ShotCut, which seems OK, but not very intuitive, and HitFilm Express, which I don’t like. 20% of the screen is adverts.
Any suggestions would be welcome…
I’m intrested in video and audio editing in my free time, maybe make a few extra dollars.
The wife is getting her car back today, bad battery. I plugged my charger into it yesterday, and it showed full charge.. Wissh I’da tried to jump start it anyway.
I haven’t been getting enough sleep these last few days. Last night I watched Apollo 13, a good movie.
And it looks like some good weather for the next few days at least. I didn’t get too wet on my scooter in the rain yesterday.
Last night we went to a friends house and played Cards Against Humanity. I laughed so hard I couldn’t breathe. That game gets better, the more you play it. We all (eight of us) had a really good time. I, for one, stayed up past my bedtime though, and I’m tired.
The wifes car broke down yesterday, so today, she’s driving my van, and I’m riding the scooter. It’s pouring rain right now, but I’m sure it’ll clear up…
It was a very busy/productive weekend. First, I mowed the yard which was a disaster, because the grass/weeds were a foot high. And the lawnmower is weak. The blade hits a piece of grass and it stops the blade. It wouldn’t start without pressing the fuel primer bulb, which you should only have to do the first time. Finally, for some reason, it struck me that I should check the oil. Not a drop in it, according to the dipstick. It ran much better after that.
Friday night, we went with some friends out to dinner, my birthday (Thursday) dinner. I had Beef Wellingon, which was very good.
Also yesterday, I finished my back porch plant stand.
It is very heavy duty. I had to re-do the base, because it was warped, making the whole thing wobbley I pretty much had to take the whole thing apart and start over.. But it came out nice.
Lastly, my wife and I removed these thousands of plants that carpeted the area around our driveway. Lenny the dawg kept laying in them, and apparently they’re poisonous and gave him a red rash on his soft white underbelly.
So it was a busy weekend, and productive. I hope I can be as productive this week at work.
Now, I’m drinking coffee, listenening to thunder, way down in town. I’m sure it’s going to be a nice day, but I’ll probably take the van and not the scooter
I turned 59 yesterday.. Next up is the dreaded 60. This morning I caught myself mentally running through a list of things I’ll be too old to do. As soon as I caught myself, I stopped myself.
It’s my personal rule to never tell myself I’m too old to do anything. If there’s anything I think I’m too old to do, I should do it immediately, because I’ll never be younger.
When I was a little kid I told myself I was too old to learn a musical instrument, because everybody my age had already been playing for years. I’d never catch up. I was afraid that by the time I got my training wheels off my bicycle, everyone else would have moved on to unicycles.
You’re never too old. Do it now!
Anyway, I’m wandering off topic, and it’s FRIDAY! Have a great weekend!
