Vell its Very Vunny.....

Miss one letter in a word..... wow!

LOL!

I was kicking out some more panos of whatever I came across that looked like it would function that way. I am also looking for a three picture pano for behind the chairs in my living room. You know how tough that is.

Well I was playing around after tidying up the July Cloudbouncer... here are more like yesterday... What I was going to do was load a folio on my web site but that got last in some pain so since this I do not need to think about it is easier to complete.... so here....

Vor Vou...









So few.... So many to go. So much to do too.... So many many many things to go capture... Time!

Super long day.... not bad.. but long

Well.... drove around a lot. Plans.. Items to look at to fix up the house. Got the list. Looks like nothing will happen this weekend...too many things to do in the morning to have time to get the other things done. But... The plans for the 4th weekend are set... I think... Its even looking pretty ugly weather wise outside right now.

So.. that got done...

But super tired now....

So since I was busy doing "things" now its time to do a little blogging..  I did some editing for dual screen or double pictures.. They came out well I think... Now to get them in a file... with others.. then decide which ones I want to print and put up on the wall.... that's the very hard part...

Here is a set...









Yeah,... Pretty much a lot of fun doing these... 

Blinks... Dont miss em... uh.. duh!

Cool.. interesting..


Instant WHAT??


Eric.. Z.. cool enough to almost want to...


And..... 

Are you smart enough to vote.... more interesting...

Friday.... I found the song I forgot... And the radar is wor....

king.. and A VCR tape I had still works... woo hoo...

Here are the thermostats to the AC units that caused me so much trouble last night... turns out it was a pressure switch to the blower that was bad... not that I could have fixed it or replaced it or even had one...

The AC guy did... its fixed.. both AC units are working.. and the radar is cool...and running... or... as we say.. TURNIN AND BURNIN!

Looks good huh!

Transmitter Alarm Panel.... 


Main control... RDA


Lookin Good!!

So that made my day .. Thanks to Tony, Mike, Hal and the AC guy David.

We still have to keep an eye on it over the weekend.

Now.... I found a VCR tape that is worth a lot to me....
Its a recording of the start of the Sci Fi Channel!




Freakin cool huh!!!

Here is some video... if it will post right...




Well maybe... if not I will post it to my web site and link it later... 

And... then third thing that happened today was that I remembered... out of the beautiful blue sky the song I was trying to remember last night.. It was a song on a commercial.. on a channel... and that was all I could remember....

I was sitting in front of the computer when I got home resetting it and it came to me.

Follow me....

Elephant...

Missed the connection.. me too.... The human brain is amazing....

When it gets just too damn hot

My plan today was get some studying done. Complete two on line courses and get some filing done.

Never happened!

From having to run up to the radar because its Air Conditioners were tripping off. Went out there...met the AC guy.. he said it all looked great...

Yeah....

So after doing a lot of things that got me no closer to my courses nor filing what I needed to get filed I was pretty exausted. I figured...since I was behind and it would take hours to get back to speed I decided to head home.

WRONG!

Radar AC uni no 2 was down... had to drive up to the site to reset it... thought.. oh.. quick flip.. good to go.. No... inside temp 95 degrees... AC units freaking out... go outside after trying to cycle them to reset a breaker.. turn too fast and wanged my head right into the side of the other unit.. Now I have this nice golf ball sized bump on my head.. and the AC units wouldn't come up and stay up. So after talking to a bunch of people and the inability of the AC repair guys to be able to come look at the units until tomorrow it was decided to shut the radar down until tomorrow when the AC guys can come out and do a complete check and service on both units... also find out why one compressor wouldnt flip on after a full reset.

Fun huh.... I am super irritated for two reasons.. one... main one.. I had to shut the radar off... two... I banged my head so hard I have a severe headache going on now.

Tomorrow... well.. I am hoping I can get some answers tomorrow... because there are some good questions in my head. These AC units are underpowered and dont work.. I know thoose answers... The big one I have is.. why when you shut one off does the other say its off... and vica versa... Big Question.

Here are some pretty pictures of the radar....  when it was nice....



I would post some enclosure shots but darned if I can find any at the moment...

Maybe tomorrow.

This would be fun... major camera time..

Call me a throwback..but hay.. I cant let these go...yet

Since I was clearing out the house a bit.... that meant that there were a lot of old Video Tapes to go through. I put away the family ones that I am not sure have been copied to DVD yet. I don't know if I have the ability to do so. Going to have to look into it I do have a few of my favorites... Call me a romantic..

A short list of videos you should watch.. if you haven't yet.. and if you can find them on DVD...

Whats up Pussycat.
Maxie
Blithe Spirit
Green Ice
High Road to China

Just a few... Some I have found DVD versions but some I have not... One I really want to find is


Captian Nemo and the City under the sea. Its a very old one .. and made prior to the one with James Mason.



If you look at the pictures you will notice a trend... but these I have yet to put away.... in the trash... sigh..


I used to go to great lengths to number and label them... all for naught now.. all good for nothing now.. what does that say of DVDs? What does it say of the computer version of a music file? Sigh.. all for naught.

Here are a few other than video tape shots.... cause.

Lets say..... it wasn't a weather balloon......
Pokey, Sticky Alien Death Ray thingie...

Have a good evening!


Linnnnnnnnkkkkkkssssssssss!!!!
 
 
 
 
I love that one!
 
 
Waiting...waiting....
 
 
Arf arff arf arf
 
 
More Blue things!

Too tired.. dont care

I feel like I have been staring at a computer screen too much. Today more than any day I just want the thing off. In fact the screen right now is off to my right and not in my direct view. im typing without watching at all. Is this burn out? Feels like burn out. 

Today was study,read,type,study,frustrate,backup,growl,email...and so on. 

So you get outtakes from Saturdays ballooning flight... 

Yellow fan with throttle on bar. Used for cold inflating balloons.
 Carabiner hole on corner of Cameron burner frame. Lines from the basket up to the burner frame go on each side of the hold and the carabiner goes through all of it to lock it together.
THis is the crew and Pilot(s) with upright poles in sockets walking in a circle because the had the burner backwards... ring around the rosy...
 This is the bee.. I presume its because it helps the balloon fly?
 This is the Pilot putting fuel in the fan so it will start... Been there done that.

 THese are Ball Instruments. They have a temp sensor in them and a line that runs to a sensor in the top of the balloon to show the temp up there... very important.
 This is a tie off line. Used by all the best Pilots to keep their balloon from taking to the skies prematurely. This is a good way to tie off. Never tie off to a trailer. Always use one. Never leave home without it.


Thanks about all I have the strength for today...

Some links I stumbled across...

Cause we don't really want to see that.... thanks...

To tone or not to tone..

Well that is my question!

LOL.

You say Sunday.. I hear Saturday!

No... its Saturday!

Please!<>?

I too tired!

Alarm went off this morning.. had my phone in my hand... was almost going to bag it and stay right where I was..... glad I didn't.. but I am paying the price.

Fred did his Solo flight and got doused in Campaign.  Tons of pictures.. but no time nor ability to process them today. If I tried I would probably just pass out as I feel like doing now.

Mary cooked up a nice chicken dinner with red, yellow and green peppers...very tasty... not definitely not ..helping my stay awake mode. Pretty much no caffeine at all today... not a drop. I can feel it.

So .. while I was trying to hang on till dinner I did some tone mapping of some pictures I had tucked away.

Here are a few...

Sand storm in the distance....
Los Burque Del La Awesome town...

Outta there.... Taos
Nuclear 
 What..where ... 
Over the top....
Distance Learning

It was fun... I will get the shots from the SOLO flight tomorrow and post them on my site tomorrow and put some here as well.

Here are some interesting links.
