E-Bike Ride From The UPS Store
I dropped off a few items at the UPS Store that needed returning to Amazon. Then I headed off from there over to Meadowbrook Park. On the way back home I went down 91st Street, where the city is putting in a new bike path along the north side of the street, connecting Cherokee Park to Meadowbrook Park. In this video I hid a few green screen special effects. See if you can find them.

E-Bike Ride To Shawnee Mission Park 06252022
I took a long bike ride that led me out to Shawnee Mission Park on Saturday June 25th, 2022. I first had to drop off a check at my bank, then pedaled around the Downtown Overland Park Arts Festival before heading out West on 87th Street ( on the sidewalk, actually ). I went thru Sar Ko Par Trails Park where they were having the annual Lenexa BBQ Festival. It didn't look like they had many people attending this year. Then I went thru the New Downtown Lenexa before arriving at the South entrance to Shawnee Mission Park, off 87th Street. I was getting tired after being in the park for a bit, so I decided to head back home.

A Spring Ebike Ride
A Saturday afternoon ride on my Aostirmotor S17 ebike. I rode down to the Indian Creek Trail bike path near the 103rd and Metcalf corner, and took it over to the Roe Park area and back. Then I headed back north, going by Indian Woods Middle School, and Meadowbrook Park before going home. Unfortunately my battery died before I could make it all the way back home. It was a little chilly out at first, 59°, but warmed up to a high of 63°. I used pedal assist 1 on this ride and covered about 22.4 miles total. Battery life: 100% to 86%.

A Mission Hills Drive
I took a drive thru the beautiful area of Mission Hills, Kansas. Mission Hills is an upscale community which was developed by Kansas City developer J.C. Nichols in the 1920's. In Mission Hills, you will find some of the most luxurious and prestigious homes in the Kansas City area. Expansive lawns, exquisite mansions and gorgeous landscaping all can be found in these neighborhoods between Mission Road to the West, State Line Road to the East, 70th Terrace to the South, and 55th Street to the North. The Kansas City Country Club and Mission Hills Country Club both sit on the West boundaries of the city. 2.04 square miles altogether.
Video taken on December 14th, 2021, on a nice warm winter and windy afternoon, with leaves blowing across the streets.

Mission Hills is a city in Johnson County, Kansas, United States, and part of the Kansas City Metropolitan Area. As of the 2010 census, the city population was 3,498.[6] The east city limits is the Kansas-Missouri state line at State Line Road. Mission Hills was originally developed by noted Kansas City developer J. C. Nicholsbeginning in the 1920s as part of his Country Club District plan.
History: An Indian mission was established at the town's site in the 1830s, hence the name of the later settlement.[7]
The city started as a planned upscale community for the elite by J.C. Nichols to be built around the Mission Hills Country Club (Kansas) on the hills above Brush Creek just south of the Shawnee Methodist Mission. Most of the country club's property is in Kansas but its original clubhouse was in Kansas City, Missouri, allowing it to serve liquor, which was prohibited on the Kansas side. Nichols laid out plans in 1914. He had developed the country club to enhance the value of his Kansas properties after discovering that upscale buyers were reluctant to live on the Kansas side of the state line.[8]
Adjoining the club Nichols established the Community Golf Club. After it dramatically grew, it moved to what today is the Kansas City Country Club. Nichols lured the Kansas City Country Club to take over the land, and the Community Golf Club went on to establish the Indian Hills Country Club. Together, the three clubs became the most prestigious in the Kansas City metropolitan area; many rank them in order of prestige: Kansas City first, Mission Hills second, and Indian Hills third.[9]
Nichols opposed incorporation of the community fearing that a city would not adequately meet the needs of its residents or properly enforce housing covenants. Consequently, the Mission Hills Home Company was founded on August 18, 1914. One of the most publicized early enforcements involved forbidding the family of a sick woman to enclose her porch with glass.[10]
Faced with prospects of annexation by neighboring relatively lower income communities seeking its wealthy tax base, Mission Hills incorporated as a city in 1949.[11]
Many of the early houses were designed by Clarence E. Shepherd, Edward Tanner, and Edward Buehler Delk.[11]
The city's most distinctive landmark, which is used on the official city seal, is the Verona columns and reflecting pool at the intersection of Ensley Lane, Mission Drive and Overhill Road. They were conceived by landscape architect S. Herbert Hare in 1924.[12]
In 1928 Ernest Hemingway and his wife, Pauline, stayed at the house of W. Malcolm and Ruth Lowry at 6435 Indian Lane. During this time, Hemingway wrote A Farewell to Arms. He later gave an autographed copy of the book to Don Carlos Guffey, the Kansas City doctor who delivered his son Patrick. The inscription, which is now in the University of Missouri-Kansas City library, said "...with much admiration and grateful remembrance of a Caesarean that was beautifully done and turned out splendidly."[13]

A Ward Parkway Drive
I took a drive up and down Ward Parkway in my Miata, where I started at the 89th Street stop light and then traveled South. Then I turned around and drove down Ward Parkway going North. I turned around at the Rockwell Lane/50th Street bridge, and then headed back South to the 89th Street light. Traveling back South, I did a loop around the JC Nichols Fountain.
For this video, I mounted my camera on the left front quarter panel of the Miata, using a magnet camera mount. It was an overcast Tuesday, December 14th, 2021, around 12:30 PM to 1:20 PM.
Ward Parkway is located in the Kansas City, Kansas and Missouri area.

Shawnee Mission Park Hiking Trail
I took a hike on a rocky trail in Shawnee Mission Park. I wish I could tell you the name of the trail, but there was no marker or sign signifying its name. The trail seamed to meander forever. After about 15 minutes, I decided to turn around and come back to where it started.

S17 Ebike Ride To Shawnee Mision Park - Shortened Version
This was my 2nd ride out to Shawnee Mission Park on my S17 ebike. The first time my camera was on the fritz, so I didn't get any useable footage. But this time the camera seemed to be working ok. This was Saturday afternoon on July 3rd, 2021. I tried my best to 'hard pedal' out to the park so I would save most of the battery for when I was inside the park, and for getting home. I was happy to see that once I made it 8 miles out to the Shawnee Mission Park south entrance, my battery still had 98% remaining. The park wasn't too crowded, probably because many people were out of town for the July 4th holiday weekend. There was plenty of people at the maria paddle boarding and kayaking. Some people were out at the beach, but neither was as crowded as it was a few weeks earlier. On the way home I did a ride through Sar Ko Par Trails Park, which is right off 87th Street.
I was going to leave the ride experience inside Shawnee Mission Park at normal speed, but after 3 failed attempts at uploading such a huge video file ( Runtime, 44:46 minutes, File size, 6.9 Gigs ), I had to speed up most of my ride through the park to around 2 times the speed, reducing the overall time of the video, thus reducing the file size as well. Rumble seems to limit how large of a file I can upload to their servers, unfortunately.
Anyways, I hope you enjoy the video. Please like & subscribe, and leave a "Rumble" too if you like. Enjoy!

S17 Ebike Ride To Meadowbrook Park
I took an ebike ride on my Aostirmotor S17, Tuesday evening to test out my FeyuTech Pocket camera, to see if I could get it working better. I freed up most of the space on the micro SD card, to allow more videos to fit. Even this time, the Unit kept stopping recording after a minute or two. For no reason at all, the recording session would just stop. I constantly had to keep looking down to hit “record” again. I am not sure why it is cutting out, either the camera itself or the software. Anyways, it was a nice hot sunny day, 92°. At least I got some good footage this time around.

1st Official Ebike Video Ride - Aostirmotor S17
This is my first ride on my new Aostirmotor S17 ebike while using my old 1080p action camera mounted so I could finally record some video footage. The action camera is mounted on an extension bar up in front of the handlebars. This old action camera is not equipped with EIS ( Electronic Image Stabilization ), so large bumps and cracks in the roads and sidewalks create lots of shakiness in the footage. I haven't been able to figure out a good way to mount my FeiyuTech Pocket camera on this bike yet. But when I do, I should have much better video footage. I rode over to Meadowbrook Park, and when returning home, the small camera battery died, so only half the 1:24 hour trip was recorded. I began with 100% on my ebike battery, and after 16 plus miles, the battery was only down to 58% remaining. And on a positive note, the battery connection continued to hold, which is great!

4K Walk - New Downtown Lenexa, Kansas
A walk thru of the new downtown Lenexa area in 4K. Shot on Saturday, March 6th, 2021 starting around 1:00 PM. The temperature was up to about 65°, sunny and very nice. Many people were out and about with many on bikes.
Wikipedia: Lenexa /lɪˈnɛksə/ is a city in Johnson County, Kansas, United States. It is the 8th most populated city in the Kansas City Metropolitan Area and 9th most populated of Kansas.[6] As of the 2010 census, the population was 48,190 with a 2019 estimate of 55,625; growing by 15.4%.[7][8] It is the birthplace of Garmin, the regional headquarters of Kiewit Construction and the former headquarters of Applebee’s[9][10][11] It is bordered by the cities of Shawnee to the north, Overland Park to the east, De Soto to the west and Olathe to the south.
History: Twelve years before the town of Lenexa was platted, James Butler Hickok staked a claim on 160 acres (65 ha) at what is now the corner of 83rd and Clare Road.[12] Filed in 1857, the claim was not far from the Kansas River, and was 20 miles (32 km) southwest of Westport, Missouri, and the start of the Santa Fe Trail. The trail meandered through this area on its way to Santa Fe, New Mexico.
On March 22, 1858, Hickok was elected one of the first four constables of nearby Monticello Township. Later, Hickok became a scout for the Free-State Army, a sharpshooter and eventually, one of the most famous folk heroes of the American West, Wild Bill Hickok.
At about the same time as Hickok filed his claim, a census of the Shawnee Indians living in the area was being taken, and one of the residents listed was Na-Nex-Se Blackhoof. She was the widow of Chief Blackhoof, the second signer of the 1854 treaty that ceded 1,600,000 acres (650,000 ha) of the Kansas Shawnee Indian reservation to the United States government.
In 1865, the Kansas and Neosho Valley Railroad was organized to take advantage of favorable new land laws. It later changed its name to Missouri River, Ft. Scott and Gulf Railroad, and in 1869 purchased a right-of-way from C.A. Bradshaw in the area that is now Lenexa, with the stipulation that a depot be built on the property.
Bradshaw also sold 10.5 acres (4.2 ha) to Octave Chanute, a railroad civil engineer, who platted the town in 1869. Legend states that the first town name proposed was "Bradshaw", but Bradshaw modestly refused and the name "Lenexa", a derivation of the name Na-Nex-Se, the name of Shawnee Chief Thomas Blackhoof's wife, was adopted.

Honest Abe Trump Parade On Metcalf
My video of our "Honest Abe Trump Parade on Metcalf", Saturday November 7th, 2020, 1:00 PM to 3:00 PM. This event was organized by yours truly, along with Callie and Sarah. We ended up having a good turnout of patriotic President Trump fans, for an event that never was officially posted on the KC Trump Parades FB page, and only started planning for it the previous Wednesday evening. The weather was warm in the mid 70's with the wind blowing all the fallen leaves around. Parts of Metcalf Avenue was appropriately lined with American Flags on each side of the street. It was so inspiring to see so many American patriots who do not want to see our government highjacked by corrupt radical socialist communists, and steal an election from our President.
The video is fairly long, so here are some key points to scrub to if you wish:
Pre parade prayer: 1:05
The start of the parade: 6:20
Turning point at 52nd Street: 15:50

https://rumble.com/vasokx-trump-rally-parade-2020.html
Wikipedia:
Donald John Trump (born June 14, 1946) is the 45th and current president of the United States. Before entering politics, he was a businessman and television personality.
Born and raised in Queens, New York City, Trump attended Fordham University for two years and received a bachelor's degree in economics from the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania. He became president of his father Fred Trump's real estate business in 1971, renamed it The Trump Organization, and expanded its operations to building or renovating skyscrapers, hotels, casinos, and golf courses. Trump later started various side ventures, mostly by licensing his name. Trump and his businesses have been involved in more than 4,000 state and federal legal actions, including six bankruptcies. He owned the Miss Universe brand of beauty pageants from 1996 to 2015, and produced and hosted the reality television series The Apprentice from 2004 to 2015.
Trump's political positions have been described as populist, protectionist, isolationist, and nationalist. He entered the 2016 presidential race as a Republican and was elected in a surprise Electoral College victory over Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton while losing the popular vote.[a] He became the oldest first-term U.S. president[b] and the first without prior military or government service. His election and policies have sparked numerous protests. Trump has made many false or misleading statements during his campaign and presidency. The statements have been documented by fact-checkers, and the media have widely described the phenomenon as unprecedented in American politics. Many of his comments and actions have been characterized as racially charged or racist.
During his presidency, Trump ordered a travel ban on citizens from several Muslim-majority countries, citing security concerns; after legal challenges, the Supreme Court upheld the policy's third revision. He enacted a tax-cut package for individuals and businesses, rescinding the individual health insurance mandate penalty of the Affordable Care Act (ACA), but has failed to repeal and replace the ACA as a whole. He appointed Neil Gorsuch, Brett Kavanaugh and Amy Coney Barrett to the Supreme Court. In foreign policy, Trump has pursued an America First agenda, renegotiating the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) as the United States–Mexico–Canada Agreement (USMCA) and withdrawing the U.S. from the Trans-Pacific Partnership trade negotiations, the Paris Agreement on climate change, and the Iran nuclear deal. He imposed import tariffs which triggered a trade war with China, moved the U.S. embassy in Israel to Jerusalem and withdrew U.S. troops from northern Syria. He met three times with North Korean leader Kim Jong-un, but talks on denuclearization broke down in 2019. He reacted slowly to the COVID-19 pandemic, downplayed the threat, ignored or contradicted many recommendations from health officials, and promoted false information about unproven treatments and the availability of testing.
A special counsel investigation led by Robert Mueller found that Trump and his campaign benefited from Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election, but did not find sufficient evidence to press charges of criminal conspiracy or coordination with Russia.[c] Mueller also investigated Trump for obstruction of justice, and his report neither indicted nor exonerated Trump on that offense. After Trump solicited Ukraine to investigate his political rival Joe Biden, the House of Representatives impeached him in December 2019 for abuse of power and obstruction of Congress. The Senate acquitted him of both charges in February 2020.
Trump lost the 2020 presidential election to Biden but refused to concede defeat. He made unsubstantiated accusations of electoral fraud, mounted a series of unsuccessful legal challenges to the results, and ordered government officials not to cooperate in the presidential transition.
