Benji the Friendly Wrasse - Thailand
While diving in the Gulf of Thailand near the island of Koh Tao, a Triple Tail Wrasse started following us as if it wanted to know what we were doing. We later found out that local divers would break open Sea Urchins for it.

Fishing by Drone 2015
At a friend's private fish pond, it was the perfect legal spot to test my theory that it was possible to actually fish for something bigger than a minnow.

Kaleidoscope
A Three-Hour Electronic Kaleidoscope live graphic with Music. It was a challenge to borrow the 3 hour video, hide the upper left corner Watermark with a copy of the Kaleidoscope video and then find the music. This seriously bogged down my Video Workstation and Da Vinci Resolve.

Vanagon Spare Tire Modification - 14" to 16"
A DIY project to fit a narrow (195/75 x 16") Nokian Spare wheel and tire into the stock 14" spare location. Performed on a 1991 Vanagon Syncro, but I believe most if not all Vanagons would work out the same.

FX Impact - ATN Scope
A short video recorded by the built-in camera on an ATN Electronic Scope mounted on an FX-Impact Mark II 25 Cal Air Rifle at about 100 feet. 2 branches were in my way after I sat down to shoot while camping. Too lazy to get up and cut them out of my way.

Attempted Vanagon Repair at Camp
Labor Day Weekend Volkswagen Annual camping event at Dosewallips, WA. Found a broken Vanagon along the highway. Tried to help them but could not. They had already called a Flatbed Tow truck to take them to Port Angeles where they planned to stay all weekend until the VW Shop opened... I have a better plan and had the Flatbed drop them off with us.

East of Eden
Dive Site: East of Eden Similan Islands, Thailand
A 4 day dive trip on a live-aboard dive boat among the Similan Islands, Thailand. About 60 miles North and West of Phuket, Thailand.
This was dive #5 out of 13 dives at a site called "East of Eden".
Many beautiful soft corals, more than I had ever seen before and a surprise appearance by my first Clown Trigger Fish.
about 16 days after this visit, the 2004 Tsunami roared through here. It was lucky for our friends that own the boat that they were between dive sites when the waves hit and were in deep water. But the pier and office building back on the mainland were demolished.
Video was shot with a Sony TRV 900 Camcorder in an Ikelite housing with no artificial lighting.
Originally edited in Adobe Premiere Pro in 2005 as a 48 minute DVD. Edited here in Sony Vegas Movie Studio HD Platinum 10
Music: Storm In A Teacup (135 Degrees) by Moodswings from the album Horizontal

Vanagon Turbo-Diesel Gauges
A video exploring the operation of my Exhaust GAs Temperatures as related to the Turbo Boost. While using cruise control. During this test, the Intercooler was not operational since the new Intercooler Radiators had not been installed. So at Max Boost, (20 psi) the EGTs would spike very quickly. Resolution is 1080p.

Great Horned Owl
Perched in a tree at our campsite by day at Bay View, Washington March 19, 2023. Only 40 feet away but I could never see it with my unaided eyes even though I knew where it was. He/She was very active at night but always returned to the same branch on the same tree.

Vanagon Wall Insulation for Heat and Sound
This was a quick test of the triple layer wall insulation I was adding to my 1991 Vanagon. The top layer was a 1 inch thick layer of Closed Cell Neoprene Rubber Duct Insulation. At this point, only one section was finished for this comparison. Done November 2012.

Maple Valley Snow Jan. 3, 2022
No Sound Track...
The snow from Christmas Day was melting but then another 4" fell last night. So I sent the Drone up for a look around.
This is the low resolution video copy that is saved in the controller while the high resolution one is saved on the memory card in the Drone. This video is what I see through my controller screen while I'm flying and contains any flaws or artifacts that occur when the video is transmitted to the controller. The memory card in the Drone has none of the flaws.
This is from my "DJI Phantom 4 Pro Plus" Drone that is now 4 years old but still in top shape.

Developing Thunderstorm / Lightning- Time Lapse
August 17, 2021. San Miguel de Allende, Mexico.
No Thunderstorms expected. I set my GoPro up for a simple Time Lapse video of the city and simple puffy cloud action for the 4th time in 2 weeks and just happened to be pointed in the right direction for this surprise
Shooting one frame in 5 seconds from 4:00 PM to 7:30 PM when rain finally cut my project about 45 minutes short.
Set your Rumble Resolution to 1080P for best viewing.
