Soggy Saturday, and Streaming (YouTube)

It seems we are getting a rain band, from the tropical disturbance that has made its way into MS. We have a tornado watch for the entire state of Alabama, today. I’m enjoying the slow sleepy rain and the cloud cover. If I can’t have Fall right now, at least I can enjoy slightly cooler temps.

Mad as a “Wet Hen”

I was just getting ready, but not quite set up yet to stream to You
Tube, when a girl came walking down the front drive dripping wet, in what was a moderate rain failing at that moment. She looked pretty angry. Probably a wife, or late teen that had just finished an argument with someone, and walked off. Here’s hoping she has a big towel once she calms down.

T-Rex

Grandson, who is nine, spent the night with us and he and I made some fun T-Rex cutouts. He gets a kick out of them, walking around the office watching the illusion of them following him with their head and eyes.

I watched this video on exactly how to fold them.

Live-Steaming Experiment

I’m still trying my hand at live-streaming. I find it hard to just talk to myself, as if I’m talking to others. They say that is what you have to get used to, until you get some followers that happen across your stream and become semi, or regular watchers. It will be a fun experiment. After all, I blogged for about four years or so, until I found all of you on the WordPress community, through the WordPress Reader.

You never know what people are interested in. Myself, I find it entertaining to just drop in on YouTubers, that have someone talking about current events, and they answer questions posed in the chat box. Those can be interesting. I’m not into conspiracy streams, there is enough in life without all that. It takes all walks of life, to do streams. Some are instructional, some are just to keep others company I suppose.

I come across some, that are just gamers that stream the game play as they are playing. Many of them play for hours. There are actually people that frequent the streams, and chat. Maybe they just enjoy the friendship, and interaction. Some like watching aquariums, or squirrels from time to time. My squirrels, have vacated the area. I observed two a couple of days ago on the porch rail, but they never went to the food bowl.

Time to get back to browsing the Internet, listening to the police scanner. Perhaps something will come up here in the park, or within driving distance that I can make material of.

Comments always welcome.

Dear Karma, I’m sorry I said anything.

Over the past few months, It has been quiet. At one point I even remarked, too quiet. Apparently, Karma was having a quiet week, and overheard that remark. So, karma dropped in this week.

  • This week has seen, two ambulance calls to the park. One requiring a county deputy (unknown reason). Another was a man having breathing difficulties. It was unbearably hot that day.
  • Another six inch thick limb came down yesterday, this one landed on the cable and phone lines that pass over the yard. Good thing, there were about eight lines, and they were able to sustain the weight till Popeye could come and cut it up. If this continues, I won’t have to purchase any firewood this season. I didn’t bother with a picture of it, as it was dark and raining lightly.
  • My forum went on and offline for 3 days. Power problems at one of the UK data centers.
  • My blog, decided to imitate the forum. Replacing the old theme seems to have fixed it. (Damn, I said that aloud didn’t I.)
  • I’m trying my hand at YouTube, and live-streaming. The old webcam died a horrible death. I think the squirrel (Trip) pouncing on it probably didn’t help. It was 9 years old, so it was time. Down to three wireless cams now and a desk cam. I need to see about an increase in my allowance from Michelle. Thank you, Ellie, for the like and subscription. I can use all the likes and subscriptions I can get, as you can tell.
Channel Intro.
  • While helping Michelle set up her 20 gallon Aquarium, I tripped over the wastebasket in her hobby room. Thankfully it was a lightweight wire decorative type. It now resembles more of a squat wire planter, 230 pounds will do that to light wire wastebaskets.
  • While watching TV I enjoyed too many White Castle Sliders, they are like the small Krystal burgers. That resulted in a sour stomach and two days of sleeping it off, due to the nausea meds. I never learn.

Yes, I know. Sounds strange

That, brings us to this morning. Since I was feeling a lot better, I decided to clean my office desk. I wipe it down each morning due to dust and hair that Reboot is kind enough to leave me. The keyboard is kept covered at night. Every 3 months or so, I even wax the top of the desk. Reboot doesn’t care for that ritual. Yes, I know. Sounds strange, but I wax the top to keep it nice, and easier to clean.

While putting away my items used in the cleaning, I hear a commotion that usually heralds a high speed game of chase. Reboot in the lead, and one of the small dogs right behind her. She raced in the door and leapt for the first high ground, which was the soft silver material area in the left of the picture. That would have been fine, but apparently she meant to put maximum distance between her and her pursuer. When she hit the freshly waxed surface of the desk, which I proudly use a high grade auto polish on, her momentum was not reduced.

She proceeded across the desk, performing some type of radical break-dance move. She scattered the three computer mice, keyboards, phone charger, and a Raspberry Pi (small computer with the blue on it). It reminded me later, of the opening shot in a billiards’ tournament. The small Raspberry Pi, was found in the window sill. A small penlight is still missing, probably behind the desk, where mere mortals shouldn’t venture.

The event, almost equaled the moment a few days ago. I forgot Reboot was asleep to the right of me in front of the window. I took out the can of compressed air, and started blowing any dust out of the keyboard. She has taken to sleeping over by the printer desk now.

Reboots new sleeping area

So, how was your week? Someone please tell me that the official week only has one day left. On a bright note, I woke up alive and feeling better.
