Professional video from the Aggressor Palau crew from my live-aboard dive vacation in March 24th-31st, 2019. First few minutes are some stock footage from the company and local area, then moves to photos/video from my specific trip. After completing this live-aboard most of us then continued to Truk Lagoon for some epic wreck diving of the remains from Operation Hurricane in WWII. I've got a ton of photos from that, but never got around to getting them into a good video. Maybe eventually.

Well before dawn on Saturday Sept 2nd, 2023 a group gathered at Crossfit AMROCK in Idaho Falls and started out for a hike in Grand Teton National Park. Taking the ferry across Jenny Lake and then along an eight mile route up the canyon to Lake Solitude and back the same route for a "quick" 16.5 mile day hike. Songs added to the video: Entrance of the Gods into Valhalla (Richard Wagner) Playing with the Boys (Kenny Loggins, Top Gun soundtrack)

Long video of the whole process... almost. Upgrading the avionics in your aircraft can be a daunting and formidable task, but it is also possible and achievable. Admittedly it took a bit longer than I anticipated. There is substantial work which I did not catch on camera either due to depleted batteries or just plain forgetfulness. Even in full time-lapse mode (and then played back at 2x speed) it comes in as an incredibly long video. But for those who expressed interest in the process, here it is. The musical selection was problematic in part due to the video length, and in part due to Copyright restrictions. So apologies if the transitions or selection are not the best, I only really put any effort into a nice transition and apropos outro selection. YouTube also changed its mind several hours after I posted the video and decided to block viewing due to copyright on music.

EAA National B25 "Berlin Express" was on tour and stopped at the Anoka/Blaine airport as hosted by local EAA Chapters 745 and 1638 to give flights and share this historic aircraft with the public. As a board member of both local EAA Chapters I spent a great deal of the weekend volunteering and helping out, and eventually I couldn't resist the temptation to get a flight myself. So I grabbed my GoPro and headed out. Soundtrack: * "Where the Streets Have No Name" -- 2Cellos * "Live And Let Die" -- 2Cellos * "Learning to Fly" -- Tom Petty * "Ports O' Call" -- John Nilson (Just a tiny bit of the beginning)

My first really long distance cross country flight! So I bought my first ever airplane expressly to be able to fly from MN back to WA to visit family and this was my first trip fulfilling that purpose. Fly out of the Twin Cities, MN over to Spokane, WA with a couple of fuel stops on the way. Then some waterskiing at the lake before taking my brother over to Seattle to visit some friends and catch a baseball game. Stop off for lunch with some other friends in Portland, OR on the way back to Spokane. Then head back to Minnesota.
