Eagle 062024
Possibly a once-in-a-lifetime experience. For me, at least. Driving by, I saw this eagle on the side of the road eating what looks like a rabbit, and he didn't seem to mind the traffic. I turned around and pulled up right next to him. All I had was my phone, but considering, it's not bad. He didn't want to give up his dinner, so while keeping an eye on me, he continued to eat.

Snapper on the Road
Просмотров 4821 день назад
We try to get turtles off the road whenever possible. Some turtles don't seem to appreciate it as much as others, but whatever. Before you get nervous about my having moved him, this is a busy road, the turtle was a male (so no egg-laying issues), and we see LOTS of smashed turtles on this road, so there you have it.
130 Bridge over Wisconsin River - Lone Rock, WI 27 May, 2024
Просмотров 2321 день назад
I believe the existing bridge was built in 1932, so while it's picturesque, it's definitely time for a new one. Because of islands in the river, there are actually three bridges. All three are in the process of being replaced by one new bridge, which will connect on the other side roughly a quarter of a mile to the northwest... I think. Here's a drive over the bridge(s), both ways, back in Sept...

2024 Total Eclipse - Collection of Still Shots
Просмотров 272 месяца назад
This is simply all (OK, most) of the stills I shot on 8 April. Most were shot using a piece of exposed and developed sheet film, so it's not optically as good as a glass filter. Still, they're acceptable. At one point near totality, I could take the filter off, and then put it back after. There's a note in the video telling where this was done.
Music Hath Charm...

William Congreve said "Music hath charm to soothe the savage beast. (To soften rocks, or bend the knotted oak)." Looks like these savage beasts were somewhat charmed. I mean, at least, they didn't stampede me. In my next video I will attempt - with my banjo - to soften a rock and/or bend a knotted oak... whatever that is. P.S. Please excuse the bumpy playing. I was walking through a cow pasture...

Juncos in the Snow
Просмотров 525 месяцев назад
We have a suet feeder up, but the juncos don't do feeders, I guess; so we put out some seeds. They're also not shy about the camera. They were walking right under the tripod, paying no attention at all. If the camera is out, some birds won't come near, but these guys don't seem to care at all.

    Would this work with Gotoh planetary tuners? I've got a banjo where when I try to tune the 2nd string to B, as soon as I let go it slides down to Bb. So I tuned the banjo down to F, and it still slipped. So I tuned it down to E. With that tuning I can play two songs before the 2nd string slips out of tune. So I tuned to banjo all the way down to D. With that I can play 4 to 5 songs before the strings slip. Planetary tuners are complete garbage. For some reason banjo players think they're better than worm gear tuners on guitars, but they are not. I have a clunky banjo that uses sealed worm gear tuners. It stays in tune for months. But my banjos with planetary tuners, I put them in tune, set them down, come back 15 minutes later and every string is slightly out of tune.

    About 10 years later, flattop appears on Mike Gordon and Leo Kottke's new album "Noon". Genius!! A personal memory - in the span of 1 second from 2:55 to 2:56, Leo plays a magic line of 7 notes. I could never forget that line for a decade. He played this tunes in many concerts later. But this was the first video then. So thank you Mike Schmidt!!

One of the best 'sandwiches' I have ever had was at Road America (Elkhart Lk, WI), it was a double cheese burger but one of the 'burgers' was a bratwurst. . . Once the number one brand of brats here are a direct import from Germany, Wisconsin is the bratwurst epicenter here. . .

    • @taylorwilliamson9265
      @taylorwilliamson9265 4 года назад

      Mike Schmidt first off, the best way to not get subscribers is to talk shit to them. You know that, right??? Second of all, if you dont like people correcting you, take the fucking video down. Make a different one where you dont sound like a complete arrogant American. Cause as long as this video is here for people to watch, they will correct you. Stop acting like everyone else here are the assholes when youre the one making videos then getting pissed when people correct your clearly wrong statement. Have a good day and good luck on your channel, tough guy.

    • @taylorwilliamson9265
