New gliding flim. Pilots might provide aerial footage. If so I'll update with it.

those were rocket starts :) nice. Shame you could not film the offroad part, that would say more than the photos.

I wanted driving video but the pilots were eager to get to launch so no cooperation to get it. This one has driving video https://vimeo.com/503730977. Other glider pilots said the backward facing launch was dangerous. He did not do that intentionally.

Went to the air show today. Thunderbirds, F35, cargo planes, helicopters. No F22's? Sunburn. I neglected sunblock and I look like a cherry.

New water heater. Installing it now.

Desert Life: In the hottest part of the year the ground is hot down to the pipes. A shower is comfortable with the "cold" water.

August 28 update
Installation is not going well. The water heater, washer, and oven must fit side by side in a space. For the foreseeable future none can be relocated. There is very little space between them. Got it in there but not level, wobbly. I have ideas but too tired. Work on it tomorrow. Good things are the gas, water, and vent will fit with no big adjustments and I fixed the back door hinge so I can open it now.

September 6 update
Water heater installed and working. Three days ago I think.

HitFilm Express, the free version, no longer exists. Version 2021.3 is the last one. There is some place on the company website with "legacy" in the URL to get that. It is now subscription. There is a free trial version but it is not a powerful as HFE and requires a web login, can't be used locally like HFE. I'll be learning Davinci Resolve which is still a free download. To give credit to both though, any free version of a program of that scale and complexity is a generous gift even as a promo to sell the main version.

I used the fireworks setting on my camera and got better photos of Christmas decorated houses than last year. One house decorated the back yard too and visitors were welcome to go there. More neighbors there were decorating like this too.

@verde Handheld. I'm surprised it is not blurry from long exposure. Maybe that's not how fireworks mode works.
