all-kinda-stuff

just some more orbs and another raccoon

just a raccoon or more than one, I'm not sure

the black cat I ran off a few weeks ago for pissin on my patio is back, he shows back up a couple times now, seemingly when the orbs show up.

yellow cat showed up the next morning after the new orbs. plus one orb I hadn't uploaded yet from a few days back.

this is my scooter with an improvement on the brake system, I put some of the early design and stages of the build.

still seeing these orbs on the patio.

here are some of the details of the build and planning the design, use mock up's, how to design and develop your own idea and make it come to life. written commentary is included. there will be more installments on this one, it is gonna be interesting as i need to learn about the electronics system as i want to have head and tail lights and i need to hook up the new engine, it has an electronic starter to figure out too.

i decided i had to have a reverse gear so i also took the opportunity to go with more HP. 250cc chinese ATV motor.

plug and play security system. no subscription, all features, i have been looking for a system like this and recently found it. so far flawless operation and auto motion detection etc, plenty of storage for auto recording.

this is my second project like this my design and build from the ground up, I bent my own DOM tubing and that was the only thing i didn't do on the first project (the scooter). i had a guy do the bends for me, i decided to get a bender for this project and partially pay for it by bending it myself. It is a 125 cc 4 speed Lifan engine, 4 speed, I thought I could always go to a 3-speed semi auto with reverse. i was trying to avoid the battery and starter that comes with the 3 spd. anyway, it has been a very fun project. it is still going on, maybe I can get it finished before winter. 2023

this is a video of a Squirrel looking around a tube trap trying to figure out if it is "ok" to go in.

this is just a short video showing the bike back together after the brake system upgrade.

another early practice flight i learned to turn on the cam and tilt it etc. nice little drone for the money.

quick trip around the neighborhood.. 125cc scooter i designed and built it from the ground up. very fun project. with a gps speedometer i have had it up to 36 mph but i didn't have a long enough straight, safe place to try it out with cars and stuff, i bet it will probably do 40 mph with room to do it safely. just for a little perspective this bike/scooter is very comfortable for me i am 6 ft 200+ lbs and the bike weighs 140 lbs full of gas, a medium pit bike weighs 200 lbs. that is a huge difference, it is very maneuverable and runs really good, i have ridden a few dirt bikes in my time and this bike is the most fun. i spent a lot of thought on the design as this isn't what i have done for a living. i was a tool and die maker for 43 years so design is natural to me but not of scooters. so i got a bit lucky as to how nice it turned out.

i explain this rework on my scooter to improve the brake efficiency with a simple change! DIY 125cc just some design ideas.

I do not know what these are but they are interesting and I can't find any cause for them.

this is my simplified method of using baking soda to clean the floor of a shower that has a build up of the grey indestructible film that accumulates. as shown, wet the floor, shake some soda, place the towel, wet it with hot water, wait 3 minutes, lift towel, scrub with stiff brush, rinse and repeat until clean. i was taking the towel to the sink and rinsing and ringing it out between "moves" the whole thing took maybe an hour to do without too much scrubbing!

another strange "thing" captured by my security cameras.

just a quick first try at flying and filming. learning, this drone is a TSRC Q8 i purchased a week ago, i was a bit discouraged until i found the low speed control for indoor practice and learning, with GPS off, mode 2 shows the slow indicator. so far so good i will upload more.

just more stuff my security camera catches, orbs and wildlife...

these things are pretty strange, I have no explanation, if anyone knows please comment!

this is after this cat pissed on my patio and decided he was gonna take over my picnic table as his viewing seat. I had decided I was going to scare him away. I got the alert from the system and I snuck out there and threw a 10 inch aluminum pizza pan at the middle of the cement patio. the result worked well so far he hasn't come back.

there are 2 orbs in this video one orb appears to go right through my bedroom window.

more late night critters caught on my security system.

my security cameras keep picking up strange lights in the wee hours of the night! these are 6 files auto recorded that I put into one vid to make it easy to view...
