Monday, Spring Time already? 61°F out side and not even 6 AM yet?

What's up with this temperature?  Not complaining mind you, just that I expected it to be much colder and yucky Winter weather this time of year.  Usually this time of year , with the Stock show and Rodeo in  Town we are hit with ice storms, wind and generally cold weather. Shoot, one of the coldest parades I ever marched in back in HS  was the Stock Show parade ( early 60's) .  ( The horse plop froze on the pavement even)

I been playing with my cameras that we got set up yesterday all  morning. Course nuthing to see what with  it being dark out. Sunrise time is 7:32 AM and that's some time off yet.  I'm debating with my self about giving you the link to the cameras cause I'm somewhat worried that it will overload my AT&T internet service and I'd get a "denial of service notice"   . But I'll check on that and if it's OK I'll allow it to be open to the world.

Right now I've sent the info to a couple of people and they have reported that it works fine. ( Wish there was a beep or something to let me know when people are watching it)
This system I got set up does not allow you to control the camera, just view any one of the 8 that I have running.

I've been fascinated with live cameras on the internet since that technology became available. I used to visit special chat rooms "back in the day" ,that we could carry on text chatting while viewing who you were talking too.  BUT spammers and  advertisers figured out they could  mislead you to sites  and there are even some that  will send a script along with the video or audio feed and mess up your computer.   But I still got a long list of live cameras I can look at , all over the World, but mostly in Texas of course. BTW,here' ya a site with a big ole long list of live or semi live cameras all over the World.  Cameras Link


And along that line since my big security camera that is out of service is just hanging out  there on the end of the carport . Ole Buddy Tim and Margo are coming down today to take it down and load it up  so he can attempt to get it running at his place or maybe his brothers place over in East Texas.  I got suckered into the system by a fast talking salesman about 5 years ago and it never would do what I wanted.  Was great for here in the house but that was it.

Bird invasion!!!  Basset tore over to the window about 8:30 and was chattering and fussing. We had an invasion of Cowbirds move through. Had to video through the window cause they'd leave if I opened the door.   Got some video of the massing HERE
That was fun, now last coffee and breakfast!!  Then go scrape some hairs off my face..

4PMish..   Buddy Tim came out today in his haul ass Camaro. Every since I've know him he's had a haul ass Chevy. He was one of my instructors at some classes when I worked for Canon.  He had one black one that has some big ole motor in it.
Anyway, we were able to get that camera and houseing and all the related parts.cables and what not pack up. Even found him the books and a soft ware disk for it.   It hadn't worked for me since I switched to the new Windows software and couldn't find any support personal for it locally.   Bet he can get it up and running like it's supposed to.  He treated local BBQ sandwiches but we both realized we is getting older since neither one could finish.
Forgot to mention that it is warm outside. Seems real warm to me for this time of year.

I ain't complaining mind you..





Cats are starting to circle and meow at me,, must be bout that time huh?
