Gerry and several friends took their trip to Hatfield McCoy trails in West Virginia on Thursday through Sunday. For Christmas last year he had requested a helmet camera which he used this time. He got some great footage of the trails. It made my heart stop to see the steep slopes on the sides of the trails. There was only one minor glitch: the settings were wrong and it recorded it all upside down. Here he is watching the movies with the monitor upside down. It was the only solution we could come up with.
While he was out having fun, I was at home having fun (Ha). Each morning I check the weather forcast to determine my activity for the day - a lot like a farmer. I need no rain for 12 hours and tempatures between 45 and 95. If all is well, I put on my oldest, stained clothes and start the work for the day. This picture shows the progress. The picture shows a bit dark, but it does look almost new. My friend asked why I did not hire one of the Amish in our community who work for $8 and hour. I had not even considered that. But the cost would add up as I have been working on this for nearly a month. And I know the quality of the work (only I know where I have made mistakes). At least no one had better point them out!!

That deck is going to be beautiful! I can't wait to see it at Christmas (although I bet I'll just be looking at it through the window).
I love Dad's creative solution to video editing problems.
The monitor upside down made me laugh. :)
I can actually flip the video for you the next time I am over there.
I guess knowing the Amish are around is always handy for future reference
You're a glutton for punishment - perhaps you should put in your bill!
