Land Rover: Time for the soft top
Tomorrow we begin the process of removing the hard-top and replacing with a mesh hoop kit. More on that in a moment. The forecast is for rain the next four days (Calling for five inches in the next three days) so I decided to put the truck in my storage unit a bit early.
We were hoping to do the work just outside the unit where we’ll have some light and room to work. But I think we can make this work and I’m eager to make the switch. Here’s what the soft top will look like and here’s the instructional video by the supplier.
Behind the truck are four saw horses with 2×6 planks across them. Once the top is unbolted, we’ll lift it back to rest on the saw horses until this fall. We’ll post progress photos here.

These are the guys that lit my Land Rover fuse. I agree with Ricardo. The Land Rover is “the most photogenic” of all cars.

Timelapse of the entire Universe
“On a cosmic time scale, human history is as brief as the blink of an eye. By compressing all 13.8 billion years of time into a 10 minute scale, this video shows just how young we truly are, and just how ancient and vast our universe us.”
Melodysheep is John D. Boswell, a filmmaker, composer, and editor from the pacific northwest. There is a version of this video with narration but without the embed code. I recommend it. Thanks to Kent for pointing us to Melodysheep.
The Land of Land Rovers
Last year was the 70th anniversary of the Land Rover marque. One of the commemorative events involved a visit to a remote community in West Bengal, deep in the Himalayas. Known as the “Land of Land Rovers,” they are reliant on a fleet of dozens of meticulously maintained Series Land Rovers dating back as far as 1957. The video shows the 31km journey made frequently by the residents of Maneybhanjang, which sits at an altitude of 3,636m.

Gentle snow captured with a DJI Phantom 4
George Kopp and his friend Jack Dodson produced this beautiful bit of video. Jack was controlling the drone and George edited the video. I like the overhead shot (no sweeping zooms) and kept thinking of pen and ink drawings as I watched this.
