Storm Chasing Chronicles #1

On May 16th, we had storms come through the area. I drove out to one of my favorite areas to storm spot and documented the storm chase.

I hope you enjoy the video. Please like, comment, and subscribe to my YouTube channel and here if you haven’t yet.

Thanks and have a good one. Peace.

I'm back

Hello out there. I’m back from a long hiatus. Things have been unbelievably busy since I left this blog back in August of last year. Here’s a brief synopsis of what’s been going on.

  • I finished the Hold The Pass challenge from Gibborim at the beginning of September and went right into a Soulcon Challenge. It took me a while to recover from both of them.

  • I started working in the men’s ministry at a local church back in November. The pastor was interested in Soulcon and needed someone to lead it.

If I had to give 2020 a rating, I would give it one and half stars. The only reason it’s this high is because I’m alive and kicking. Let’s see:

  1. Where I work, which is a local school board, there was a cyber attack that crippled us for several weeks.

  2. While we were recovering from the cyber attack, we had to stop working because of the pandemic. Now, I have to answer help desk calls on Thursdays until we are cleared to go back to work.

  3. As of now, our stuck, I mean, stay at home order is until May 15th. I have a feeling this is going to be extended even longer but we shall see.

  4. My oldest daughter went from going to college to being an online college student. It’s a bit difficult when the degree is Industrial Electronics. She’s going to finish up her technical degree this summer.

It’s not all been rough, though.

  • I’ve purchased some photography/videography gear — four Moment lenses for my phone which are fun to use. There’s a 1.33mm Anamorphic lens, 58mm tele lens, 18mm wide lens, and a 10mm macro lens. I’ll be doing a review video on them soon.

  • I also got a new tripod from Neewer. This has been a wonderful purchase. I did a reveal (click on the link) video and it’s posted on my YouTube channel. A review video on this is also in the works.

I’m not sure how often I’m going to post on here. I will post at least once a week. It’ll depend on what’s going on.

Thanks and I’ll talk to you later.

I am not affiliated with any of the companies listed above. I just enjoy their products.

Giveaway #3 and an update...

John here.

It’s time for Giveaway #3. Here is the blog post from MKRM Author explaining how to enter this week’s giveaway. Good luck.

Now an update on Tropical Storm, then Hurricane, now back to Tropical Storm Barry. It came on land yesterday late morning/early afternoonish. We had dry air come in and break the storm up so we didn’t get that much rain. As the storm started moving north, the backside of the storm started dumping rain on us. Forecasts are saying we may get 6-10 inches of rain (I hope not). Follow my Instagram for updates on the weather.

Good luck on the giveaway. I hope everyone has an outstanding week. Have a good one.

I’m outta here.

New Squarespace App

John here.

I recently received an email from Squarespace letting me know that I have been selected as a beta tester for their app. I have been too busy to test it out with a conference and Chromebooks at work. I thought why not try it today and see how it works. So far so good.

This new app is going to open a lot more possibilities for me to post more content instead of waiting until I can get to my computer.

I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend and upcoming week.

I’m out of here.

John
