Monday Febuary 27, 2012. Back at it for some of you. The rest of us...

Just going to kick back , maybe contemplate the lint in our navel, count how many ceiling tiles there are ,  or if we get real energetic, open the window blinds and look out side. All the while just letting the rest of the World go on by.   :-)






Serioulsy I decided this morning to just "screw it!! Ain't anything THAT dang important"
Both Cats had no argument with my decision ,, so the whole house is in agreement.

Didja watch the Academy awards show last night?  I watched the opening then switched over to a movie.The Devil Wears Prada  NOT to see Merle Strept or how ever you spell her name but rather to catch Simon Baker. I didn't realize he had done so much movie work. I just see him in The Mentalist on TV. 

I'm not now, nor have I ever been a fan of Merle Strep  . In fact the only movie of hers I ever took any interest in was  The Bridges of Madison County and then mostly cause it was Clint Eastwood. 

OK,  here's one for you.. You all know what optical Illusions are right?   You ever have 
sound illusions? Definition is  the aural equivalent of an optical illusion: the listener hears either sounds which are not present in the stimulus, or "impossible" sounds. In short, auditory illusions highlight areas where the human ear and brain, as organic, makeshift tools, differ from perfect audio receptors (for better or for worse).  Examples if you want to try them.

Well, for sometime now I have been experiencing one that while not driving me to drink, is bugging me.  
Every night when when I go to bed I lay on my right side with my ear on the pillow.  If I lay real still I hear breathing beside me !!  First time I noticed it , scared the hell outta me. Thought I had a ghost in the room!!   Finally I figered out I must be hearing my own breathing but it's deeper and sounds like there is someone laying in bed beside me or rather next to me behind me. 
I gave up trying to talk to whoever or what ever it may be cause it was pissing off the cats.

I had plans this weekend of doing some more testing of suspending my Go-Pro high def camera below my big kite and taking video.  BUT the winds never did cooperate. Too much or not enough.  The kite I got to suspend the camera from will lift it with no problem and it flies real stable. Not like the 10 foot stunt kite  I first attempted it with. This kite I got now is a para foil design 7.5 meter ( 7.5 m = 24.61 Feet (ft.)

This one is a single line kite and the one test I was able to do over on the big field at the farm it flew steady and very high which is what I want it to do. I have rigged up a harness to hold the case for my Go Pro camera and with it set to record and launched it should be able to video for two hours.  Only problem with it here is, the big pine tree out front  cause I can't launch from the rear with the power lines there.  I do want to video the farm/homestead before it  gets sold and cut up into track houses. So I'll just hire the helicopter I had done before and do it that way .  No great rush on that yet . OK, Been long enough now.. Mo coffee.. BBL  Afternoon report..    Can't leave these cats alone for a minute.  Ran out to check mail, pick up my drugs and treat my self to a burger.  Walk back in the house and what are they doing? Playing with a baby snake!!  Dang near had it dead. But I took it out and finished it off..   Hope that isn't a harbinger of things to come this summer.
