    Look at that somebody recorded something different for once how nice keep it up you did stuff that nobody else has done that I’ve seen. That’s is original and not the same as everyone else, don’t worry about the hater that left the comment before they’re obviously a one tracked minded sheep. Thanks for posting. I really liked it. Almost no one is showing the areas around there besides the what has a rocket in it basically.

    To the best of my knowledge there is not a wind reducer for this camera. The microphone is built in. And there is no port for a microphone. Sony Handycam Model: HDR-CX440. It does have a noise reduction setting, I did not think to set it durring this session. It is just a beginners camera but has done a nice job for me as long as it has good lighting. kzread.info/dash/bejne/Z6Zl3LN6Ydu9qM4.htmlsi=M1SY_D-PmoWOB3_W

    This was only one frame of the game which goes to 12 points. William had the lead and I'm trying to catch up. I was practicing with a Sony CX-440 camcorder that I've had for many years but did not use it. I find it very difficult to use without a viewfinder.

    Huntington Village front park walk around. In Alief - Houston, TX Park had been locked up for a long time and no one could use it. The HOA said Homeless people were staying there and using it for a restroom, so they just locked it up from everyone. Finally, it is being unlocked during some of the daylight hours for residents too use. It is a beautiful park, but has not been kept up and all playground equipment for the youth has been removed except the swings. It used to be a great place for kids to play.

    It’s ridiculous that company would spend $180,000 on a new spider lift, yet they don’t have helmets, eye or ear protection, not even saw chaps, why buy the equipment but not the gear to use it and do your jobs safely. Hell these guys can even make a cut without getting a saw stuck, use wedges to get the saw unstuck, not a bobcat.

    @jamesrosa6568 I'll agree with everything you say about the use of the lift, but the price you are suggesting the lift costs is way off. That model lift in the video (now discontinued and replaced with a 90 footer) never cost more than about 160k.

    I'm 77 and a Frisbee devotee (Don't really like the Disk yet). When I was about 20 years old we built our own disk course around our country house in Springfield, la. We had at least 2 to 6 playing at a time. Through the woods, and up and down the road, we used trees as the hole or target. I even drew up our own map of the fairways and holes, even showing the Par and out of bounds areas. Think it was a 9 hole course. Some of the fairways required 90 degree turns, some to the right and others to the left. - - - - Then we designed a game similar to horse shoes. The targets were two tripods build of 3 Canes each that we cut down and tied at the top and the taped a bicycle tire to the front of each tripod. Then we placed the two tripods about 60 feet apart. Apposing players stood on each end, next to the tripod. Our Scoring was: 3 points to get Frisbee clear through the tire with no touching the tire. 2 points touching tire and going through. 1 point touching tire or tripod. 0 points for not touching anything. We played to 12 points.

    What discs do you throw right now? If you’re used to frisbees I’d recommend throwing low speed putters first because they’re pretty similar to frisbees and easier to throw!

    @@calebcrist1857 - It is my first time to throw disks and just used a driver and a putter as didn’t see much difference at the time. Think I would need to do a lot more practice throwing and do it correctly. Don’t think I was getting more than 100 feet with any of them.

    When my boy was about 7 years old we went on the same train to Silverton. Because of his age Adam didn't need a ticket. When the conductor punched our tickets he became upset because he didn't have a ticket. The conductor was ready for him. He reached in his pocket, brought out a blank ticket, punched it, and gave it to Adam. Made him happy.

    He is a much braver fellow than I. My fear of heights, and spots where it looks like the train could topple over the edge, and down into the gorge, is way more than my fear factor can go. I have ancestors who worked those trains, then went with SP. That can be a scary ride too. I better off, keeping my place at the station and just waving as folks pass by. I hope it was a wonderful, dream filled birthday.
