On this morning I take the Miata for a drive over to meet my nephew Alex at the Lenexa Chili Festival. The morning was slight chilly out but still not too bad for an October morning. We got our spoons and started sampling chili. The chili was plentiful as most booths were giving out generous portions, and some booths even had hot chicken wings, chips and salsa, brownies, rolls, cookies, and cornbread. And, of course, Halloween candy for the children. I recorded some chili fest footage with my Wolfang GA420 action camera, as we walked the streets filled with contestant booths and tents. The band "Platinum Express" was on stage to belt out some old classic rock and roll music for the crowd. After stuffing myself with about 40 to 50 different chili samples, along with chips, hot wings cookies, brownies, and rolls, I was completely full. It was time to pack it in and make the drive back home in the Miata. Another wonder Lenexa Chili Festival enjoyed by all who attended.

I took the Miata for a drive out to Olathe to check out an apartment that my oldest nephew Alex is looking to move into in the near future. The place is called Homestead Apartment Homes off 119th Street & South Shannon Street. I believe a month's rent would be about around $1,150.00. A very nice upscale living space. I also drove through the Hunter's Pointe Apartments where I stayed for about a half a year back in the 1990's. Afterwards I drove over to Home Depot off Metcalf to pick up a few things before heading back home. This version for Rumble is only saved in 1080P, because of file size restrictions. Hopefully the 1080P version will show up soon here.

I take a drive in the red Miata going West out to Shawnee Mission Park to attend a car show. It was a nice sunny Sunday morning for the drive. Unfortunately once I made it all the way out that way, I discovered there wasn't very many cars at this car show. I then discovered that wasn't ANY cars. The car show must've been canceled or postponed. But whatever the reason, no car show at all. Instead of just going back, I decided to make the best of the situation and take a nice slow cruise Shawnee Mission Park, and then a drive through the new downtown Lenexa area. For this drive, I used both of my Wolfang GA420 cameras, mounting each to both side of the Miata, for a finished split screen video( the right side camera being the top of the video, the left side camera being the bottom of the video ). I have realized that these camera's results don't perfectly line up time-wise. One camera 's video results is slightly slower than the other. This makes synchronizing both feeds a bit difficult. As each video moves forward, the gap between them increases, so I have to make slight adjustments here in there in post editing. Anyways, I hope you enjoy, and maybe next time ,I'll have a car show to include. These video clips were taken on Sunday, September 10th, 2023 using two Wolfang GA420 action cameras.

Video clips that were recorded on the backyard trail camera between October 13th and October 20th of 2023. Squirrels, Rabbits, Cats, Raccoons, Foxes, Possums and plenty of different birds as well. One clip shows one of the raccoons tipping over the bird bath which I have to fix later on. At one point a possum is at the water hold and all of a sudden a raccoon sneaks up on him. Do they break out into a fight? Watch the video to find out! The images were captured by the trail camera between October 13th thru October 20th, 2023.

I came across this pretty little tiny cat in my brothers next door neighbors yard. I went over to pet him only to find out he just has 3 legs. He doesn't have any name on his collar, so for now I'll just call him Trident. He was a little skittish of me at first, but soon warmed up to me a little bit, especially when I broke out a can of food for him.

For this video, I magnet-mounted my two Wolfang GA420 cameras to the Miata, one for a front view and one for a rear view off the trunk. I started this drive from a parking lot at Shawnee Mission West High School. I then drove out West to Shawnee Mission Park where the car show was being held. This 13th annual “Cars In The Park” car show was a fund raising event for the JCPRD ( Johnson County Parks Recreation District ) Special Olympics team. Unfortunately, when I pressed the "record" button on the front facing camera, it didn't fire. So for the trip to the event, I didn't get any front view footage. Once I arrived at the car show, I did a drive by before parking on the far side of the lot. I used my iPhone to take photos of the cars, and also bough along my FeiyuTech Pocket Camera for some video footage as well. Jump to car show: 19:22 For the drive back, I was fortunate to have both front and rear camera working, there I edited it with a split view. Since I was out there, I do a quick drive through Shawnee Mission Park before heading back home down 79th Street. It was a beautiful sunny Autumn late morning, with beautiful Fall scenery to and fro. Plus a cool car show! These video clips were taken on Saturday, October 21st, 2023. This version is only in 1080P ( too large of file to uploaded the 4K version ).

While riding my Aostirmotor E-Bike ( only hard pedaling, since there something wrong with the electrical components ), I came across a hawk trying to pull a long worm out of the grass. So I had to stop and check him out. After he snacked on the worm, he decided to get a birds-eye view of the area by flying up to perch on a low-lying power line above him. I walked over underneath him, where he was only about 3 feet above my head. He didn't seem to mind or care, since he knew that if I was to try and get at him, he was just far enough out of reach, so he felt safe. A few cars passed by to take a gander as well. I was waiting with the camera to catch him flying away. Unfortunately, a guy in a truck stopped to check him out and talk to me, and right when I turned my back the hawk began to take off. I caught only the last part of his flight up into a nearby tree. These video clips were taken on my iPhone, Thursday, October 12th, 2023.

Listen to this bird high up in the trees? Can you determine what type of bird is making these chirping sound? If you can solve it, you might win a whiz button! 

I received a complimentary Wolfang GA420 action camera from the company, because the original unit I had received didn't have to zoom feature or the variable angle feature, so they just sent me a more recent version that included those new features. Unfortunately for this Miata drive to the DMV, one of my first opportunities to try out this camera, the footage ended up being a bit pixelated. I believe I resolved this issue by rebooting the camera and reformatting the mini SD card while installed in the camera. But anyways, on this day I drive to the DMV to get my drivers license renewed. To my surprise, I was in and out of the DMV in record fashion. These video clips were taken on Tuesday, February 7th, 2023.

I took a week off from work so that I could repair the small areas of rust that were forming on both lower side skirts of my red 1995 Miata. I needed to get this done before the winter weather moves in. The right passenger's side skirt had a little bit more rust than the left side of the car, so it was a bit more difficult to repair. I used fiberglass putty to fill in where the rust was removed and then filled in smaller divots with body buddy filler. I also applied Rust-Oleum Rust Resolver to each of the areas to help prevent rust from coming back, before I finished it all off with numerous coats of flat black paint. For the small red area, I bought whatever looked like might be the closest match to the Miata red. Unfortunately it was not an exact match. But at least this tint of red protects the exposed area, and when I do find a better match, I can just apply over this red. I had only used this fiberglass filler a few times before, and it will harden much faster than regular body buddy filler, so you have to mix and be quick with your application. All in all I think I did a pretty good job. To see my imperfections you have to get down on the ground and take a close look. Up close with a camera really exaggerates small imperfections. Anyways, I hope you enjoyed this video! These photos and video clips were taken the week of October 9th thru the 15th, 2023.

“Sloopy The Hawk” hangs on a low powerline. watch him do a little dance to the Yardbirds while he seeks out his next prey. Recorded on Thursday, October 12, 2023. 

The Duck Song Duck disappointed that The Man doesn't have any grapes at his stand once again, decides to show The Man up in high fashion as he jumps in his race car and jumps across the canyon. Once he's finished with his death-defying feat, he goes back to The Man and rubs it in his face, "How do you like them apples!?" Again, we don't know what exactly the duck was trying to prove here. It just doesn't make any sense from out perspective. But hey, we're talking about a duck here, a duck that has a looney craving for grapes! I've been working on this animation over the past several years, not really sure what to do with it, and how it should end. So I just decided to add a few things and complete it, once and for all. It's been too long since The Duck Song Duck made an appearance on my channel, and now he finally has, once again.

Action caught by my trail camera in the back yard, late August thru middle of September. Once again, the squirrels and raccoons eat up most of the camera time, as well as a bunch of pesky birds. But this time I did capture one sighting of a deer, a few glimpses of rabbits, a few possums, one glorious hawk, and a rare sighting of the groundhog that hangs around the area. The chipmunk also makes an appearance as well. One clip that has me puzzled is a small glowing ball that floats around in the air. Could it be a mini alien!? Who knows!? The images were captured by the trail camera between August 29th thru September 13th, 2023. Hopefully this video post will generate a 4K option soon.

This video is of the Cars Beyond the Boulevard Charity Car Show, that was held at the Theater In The Park, inside of Shawnee Mission Park, in Shawnee, Kansas on Saturday, October 7th, 2023. It was sunny but a low temperature of around 60°, which made for a beautiful Saturday afternoon for the event. I got to meet a few car fanatics while there. One guy Danny said he order an older 1974 car from Italy, something like a Valiant. He was anxious to receive it soon. I also got a chance to talk with Will of Wills Wheels. I will have another video up soon of my Miata drive t and from the event. For whatever reason, iMovie only allowed me to output this video in 1080P, not 4K. It might have been because the falling leaves green screen file was only in 1080P, I'm not 100% sure, though. These photos were taken on the iPhone 10, on Saturday, October 7th, 2023.

A man with Bastionhead Woodworks puts on a woodworking demonstration at the Overland Park Fall Festival. Saturday, September 30th, 2023.

I took a quick ride on my Aostirmotor S-17 bike ( no power on this ride - there's a short in the electric system somewhere ) up the street to the Overland Park Fall Festival. For this ride, I used my new baseball cap camera mount clip. I mounted my second Wolfang 420GA action camera to the hat to see what results I could get. All in all, it was ok, but I moved my head back and forth a little too much. But that is expected, since I got to look where I'm going, of course. And I might not have had my settings on the camera right. The electronic image stabilization might not have been ON. It was a little hot on this evening, still in the upper 80's and muggy. So I made might ride brief. But I had a good ride and got to see some of the evening activities going on. Tomorrow the Fall Festival will be in full swing, starting at 8 AM in the morning and going all the way up to 3:00 PM. This footage was captured on Friday, September 29th, 2023.

In this trail cam video, the groundhog shows up once again, showing off his enormous size and waddles by the water hole and off the the left he goes. Then camera captures footage of a large hawk discovering the water hole, and snoops around a bit before stealing a quick drink from the metal basin. A day or two later, the hawk shows up once again to mess around with something off to the side, before deciding to fly up to the birdbath and claim it for a brief moment. These video clips were captured late August and early September. If you enjoyed this video, please remember to smash that like button, and leave a comment if you feel the need.

I rode my bike up to the Overland Park Fall Festival in the morning to meet a friend. We walked around and checked out all the booths and activities. Afterwards, I got on my bike and rode around the event for a bit before riding on back home. The festival drew out quite a large crowd this year, fun for the entire family.

We went to a biker bar called The Bar in Kansas City, Kansas to watch Beyond Vengeance play a gig there on the outdoor back deck. These guys put on one hell of a show! This is their rendition of "Radar Love" by Golden Earring. I am very surprised on how well the iPhone microphone picks up the sound. I thought the audio would be overblown, since this band plays extremely loud, but somehow the iPhone microphone algorithms accommodate the loudness. Enjoy!

Rick Gillis and Art Kay have been playing in a band together for over 10 years. Under the name Local Stranger there are 2 original CD's. The first CD, In the Shadows, and the second CD, Backstage Pass. They are currently being re-copyrighted and re-packaged under our current band name. Beyond Vengeance is excited about our new CD, Jacked in the Head, coming soon. We are just getting out of the studio with it. You can find as around KC.

Two doggies waddle along at the Overland Park fall festival - 2023.

One of my first drives back to work after the pandemic in late 2022. For this drive I magnet mounted the camera to top of my trunk on the Miata. I drive down I-35 and Southwest Boulevard there and back. This was shot in 1080P only. Recorded on Monday, November 21st, 2022.

I take a ride on my Aostirmotor S17 E-bike to see meet up with the family to visit my dads resting spot on Memorial Day 2023. It was nice sunny day, about 85° out. I took the bike path along Metcalf for most of the route going South, and on the way back I took a ride through part of Corporate Woods and the Corporate Woods bike path going East back home. I met up with the family to visit my Dads resting spot, and a few police cars screamed by while we were there. They were giving out free hot dogs and sodas at the funeral building there, but all I got was the last hot dog, no bun. I also stopped by Molamphy Park, a small park inside of Executive Hills. Here I took a few photos of a sculpture that was done by my Junior high & high school "metal smithing" class instructor, Ariel Regier. The Wolfang camera battery died on me about 4 miles short of making it back home. Overall the ride was about 21 miles total. I think it was my 2nd Wolfang camera that I took on this ride, which for some reason resulted in some subpar quality footage. I believe I later fixed this problem with a camera reboot. For this ride, I used pedal assist 1, 2 & 3, and went from a full charge of 100% down to 54% by the time I made it back home. It was a good ride. This video footage was taken on May 29th, 2023.
