Osmo Pocket 3: Big Ass Rock
Trying to get the hang of the DJI Osmo Pocket 3 camera. The camera is on a selfie stick about four feet above the deck. I’m using the remote mic which works great. I try to stay out of the videos I shoot because I look older than Keith Richards. I like the distance I get with the Pocket 3 face-tracking. And the audio with the remote mic is exceptional.
At the 3:08 mark I refer to another rock formation on the other side of the house.

Ruthlessly
Hunkered Down
UPDATE: This is definitely a work in progress. My uke guru is suggested some changes. Thinking it might be fun to add one new verse a week for as long as COVID-19 hangs around. We’re talking epic. (Put this on YouTube for anyone having trouble streaming here.)
UPDATE: I’m going to record this again and change “Chinese Virus” to “Donald Trump’s Virus”
Land Rover 4WD: LOW RANGE!
I think I understood the concept behind the high range/low range gear lever on my Land Rover. But I had never had a real opportunity to use it this weekend’s snow (about a foot).
Went down the hill in 4WD (high). Came back up in 4WD (low) and it finally clicked for me. I need to remember to engage these gear combinations from time to time to make sure all the doodads are working.
Playing with GoPro – Part 2
Got a new mount for the GoPro camera. I would say a more flattering angle but I’m not sure they make such a thing. I ramble for 3 minutes about the early days of MTV. Audio level is too low so it’s gonna be video-only inside the cab of the Land Rover.

Swinging On A Star (Director’s Cut)
I took another stab at this tune because I noticed I was paying more attention to the video than just playing the song. And seeing me mauling the uke really doesn’t add much. So I just recorded the audio and dropped in a few goofy stills.
Swinging On A Star
This tune isn’t ready for the road it’s proof I’m still practicing. Struggling with good clean chords and smooth changes. Once I get this song memorized and can stop looking at the iPad, these will improve.
