Montage of Cat Drinking Water in Slow Motion (Oct, 2019)

Not a journal.  A video edit this morning.





RandomTheCat drinking water in Slow Motion.  Shot on the Samsung Note 10+.  Finally figured out how to use the super-slow motion setting -- you have to film something already in action - a static scene.  Trying to time and capture something like a ball flying or a catch being made -- not going to happen.  There's not enough control over the start of the super-slow-mo effect in the camera. Idea - build an app that takes an external trigger; either by USB input or straight 'click the button' and it records at max frame rate, then decompiles to 30FPS.

Today, October 9, 2019

Today it will rain.
Today I will not ride the Ducati to work; too many variables with wet weather, slick streets and unknown rain performance.  And I don't want to have to clean all the nooks and crannies on that bike.
Today I will take half a day off to possibly weatherize the house.  Or help Mom.  Or just chill in the rain.
Today I meet with the Scout Troop.
Today Alec made the coffee and rotated dishes before he left for school. I am thankful.
Today I will abide.
Today is enough.

Today - Octoberr 4, 2019

Today - I am at work.
Today - I have a grocery delivery, and need to remember to get cash to tip the delivery driver.
Today - the trash didn't get picked up, so I had to call Waste Management.  Simple call, trash should be picked up by 6 this evening.
Today - I need to reset the table so the boys coming in this weekend have space to play computer games.
Today - it's grey and cool.  A good riding day, but I have a parking pass for the executive garage this month, which doesn't recognize motorcycles, so I drove in.
Today - I need to put gas in the Honda or Subaru to be ready for tomorrow.
Today - I will take at least one 15-minute brisk walk around the campus.
Today - I started bullet point journaling. (this here thing here).  I found it's been since June that I've written in my paper journal, even with a new fancy fountain pen.  Paper and me don't get along as well as I'd like.  I love the smell, the feel of paper.  I love finding old paper that's been hand-written - you have more context and touch with the author than phosphors (or LED's now) on a screen in a standard typeface.  But I still don't write in my bound book. Such is life.  Perhaps I'll print off all my blog posts and make a bound book with hand-written annotations to pass on to the next generation. Perhaps the next generation won't be especially impressed with what I've written, but if there's a generation after that - or someone rummaging in a dump bin - will be interested.
Today, I have written enough.
Today, will be enough.
Today, I will be.


(today - I cannot spell October.  Not changing it. My blog. My misspellings.)
