update: video uploaded: uprooted upstate? no. uptown? no, uprising. uptight? upset? no, still upbeat.

1. You have to let go of the handles even if you think the water might be cold.
2. We have tiny frogs all of a sudden.
3. Hear any loud persistent barking? Try another day randomly. All of these videos are made on my property.
4. Pepper did chase the sheep but nothing much happened.
5. Maggie did not get a chicken.
6. Some of these videos are from yesterday afternoon, so really one afternoon and one morning.
7. Its a waterproof camera and I thought about taking videos of dogs swimming but with me in the water... but it is cold in the morning. I'll try that this afternoon if it gets hot like yesterday.
8. If you live in the city you can get someone to do your laundry and fix stuff when it breaks and can order food delivered and don't have to mow and weed and feed: in short, living in the city is much more efficient in use of time and better for the environment. Also, property taxes here are high, you have to pay a lot in gas and automobile maintenance, schools are entirely, unremittingly and absolutely average, little league is a bit too serious and academics, school is a bit too lackadaisical, government is corrupt and worse than useless, the weather is bad, voodoo is law, development is poorly planned... and I would continue to tell you all the things wrong with living in Columbia County but my goat got out again and I have to go tie her up since she won't stay in the fence, that and 23 other things.

Here is the video.

easter 2011

My kids (one of them) or maybe some other kids (visitors) reset my camera and it's lower resolution than I would have likes. Still, I dropped the waterproof camera in the water bucket and got a shot of the dogs drinking from below!

Pretty cool. I think I'll do it again high res.

Here are various videos from the past few days.

old but good movie

This video is a couple years old. Look at the video in the previous entry for yesterday!

And I email Vimeo to ask why the videos are just starting all on their own in the last week or so.

But like yesterday's, pretty quiet. And a bunch of these dogs are still here right now: Sawyer, Tucker, Brady...

Anyway, I liked looking at an old one, maybe you will too. I notice that I was more ambitious with my shot selection than I am now.

I should step my game right back up!


lot of back stories

Today's video has some back stories that help to make sense of what is going on:

1) The dog signs are political

2) We got goats, then sheep. Peter is the baby male goat.

3) I left the scenes long and unedited and didn't cut back and forth so show how long it goes with the dogs in full play outside without any barking, just for the record.

4) The cat had kittens.

5) I had crazy problems getting this thing to edit and upload (I/O -- please go away!).
a) I had to re-edit about 5 times and it's driving me crazy.
b) I ended up almost not editing and just stringing it all together randomly in full.

6) Leo says "why" a lot.

7) Vern has a sweet little baby Jackson.

8) Kittens born today.



The video below is not really the one I meant to post -- just whatever I could find that didn't give me that damn I/O error.

the frogs came out last night

Strange, because it was just one warm day after some rain. It was a much harder winter than last year yet the frogs came out earlier. I guess it depends on rain and temperature for only one or two days regardless of the severity of the whole winter?
