    Narrow Escape

    Cat wasn't hurt. It was hanging around the next morning.

    Thieves Arrested

    The truck went east at about 1:55, and the woman passed by going west at 2:32. The road to the east dead ends in a cul-de-sac, and the walking trail parallels the street. These times mean that the thieves were in the cul-de-sac or along the road when the woman walked by. My guess is that she saw...

    Thieves Arrested

    Yep I posted the video before, but it seemed like a good enough reply to your post to share it again. The woman is a delight. She discovers a stranger's camera and puts on a show for it. If I'm ever outside when she comes by I plan to congratulate her on her amateur acting skills :-)

    Thieves Arrested

    Here's a story of what happened around my place recently, and a short video. On Tuesday September 24th at around 1 PM I got a message on my phone from Uptime Kuma telling me that my home Internet was down. I was in my office at the time and went to work confirming the report. What I found was...

    Odd Bike

    Almost, but not quite. Your suggestion made me go look. The Bakfiets have a sealed drive train which is common in The Netherlands, and I only saw models that have solid to somewhat solid cargo boxes. I did not see any with a tubular cargo cage, and some of the other components didn't look right...

    Poop Tosser

    When I first saw the video I thought that I might be able to shame her among the locals, but then I was disappointed to see an Oregon license plate. I have a video server that is used to share with locals only that can be used for this purpose. I attached an aluminum clipboard to a sign post...

    That is a feature in the video editor software. I use DaVinci Resolve. However, all but perhaps the most basic editors can do the same.

    Drama Queen

    A woman that discovered my camera has been coming by to practice her acting skills, This is the latest one. At least she looks like she is having fun!

    Hyperlocal Sharing

    Yes, but the additional area covered would be bushes and trees. I can't see any more of the street from that location. Here's the current camera zoomed out. Even if the cam was moved to the big tree near the end of the driveway it could not see to the left due to bushes and trees. It could see a...

    Hyperlocal Sharing

    In my video Wet Wipe Woman a note was left attached to the yield sign which got a lot of attention from people passing by. This started me thinking about advertising my YouTube channel with a sign, but I was reluctant to advertise the YouTube channel locally in case things didn't go as hoped...

    Had a visitor last night

    I didn't know about purple paint laws. I grew up in Florida, but have lived most of my adult life in California and Washington State where paint laws don't exist. I don't remember seeing purple paint in Florida, but I moved away in 1974 and perhaps they didn't have the law yet. If I saw purple...

    who says old men with a dog on a golf cart can't be young

    Looks like the old guy might have lost a dog leash off the back of the golf cart.

    Mobile Beauty Worker

    Yep, she learned that in cosmetology school! My wife and I have had an inside joke for years referring to anybody that does hair as a Luanne. There's a salon a couple of doors down from our business that shares a parking lot with us. We might look out to an empty parking lot and say "All the...

    Mobile Beauty Worker

    Oh that's just Luanne Platter using what she learned before dropping out of Arlen Beauty Academy to help the local homeless look their best. :)

    Coyote nabs one of my chickens - Thermal vs. Optical

    Nice to see the thermal camera in action. There was plenty of visible light in this scene so the thermal cam wasn't needed, but does it do as well in total darkness?

    Texting while driving hits rocks on my curb

    Most video editors that I have used allow you to blur an area. Shotcut is an open source (free) program that will do it and Shotcut is easier to learn than some other editors. It also requires less computer resources to run compared to other full featured editors. I use DaVinci Resolve which has...

    Stick Pose

    Yep, digital zoom that I added while editing with DaVinci Resolve. This is the current model of my camera. Mine is an older version without a built-in microphone and slightly lower performance. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07ZGF9BRW/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

    Stick Pose

    It was not, but you never know where people are from. The North Olympic Peninsula attracts a lot of tourists with our mountains and water. The people in the video could have been from one of the southern hot-as-hell states, so they feel cold in normal weather. :-)

    Another Pisser

    Here's a zoomed out view of my cam. You can see the small area beside the tree where people go to pee, but when zoomed out quite a bit of image space is used up by the tree. Just to the left of the image is a field full of blackberry bushes and nobody goes back there. For those not familiar with...

    Another Pisser

    I like this idea. If only I had a good way of supplying water way out there. It would require a 200 foot water hose now.
