A Short Drive | Rain, Ice & Finally SNOW! | Allen TX March 4, 2015
Surely, I'm not alone in thinking Texas weather can be a little wacky at times. These past two weeks are no exception to the wackiness.
We'd all been coasting along, finally enjoying some near-80 degree temps, when suddenly a blast of cold and ice happened, with a little dusting of snow. Then, a week after that, a repeat. Warm weather, rain, ice, snow. All of this just a couple of weeks before spring break (that should probably be capitalized. . . all of it!. . .SPRING BREAK!!). It's sort of like winter was pretending to happen, right up until spring was due to arrive. Surprise! And welcome to Texas. haha!
This short video gives an example of a day of weather transitions.
Enjoy~~ (^.^)v

Some Chat & A Saturday Morning Drive | Allen, Texas
Saturdays are made special, now.
Instead of sleeping in, us big peeps go out before sunrise to get a cup of coffee and orange juice. And sometimes, we drive around a bit. It's a nice little break from the week's goings on.
This last Saturday was no exception, as seen in the vid. Well, at least you'll see it after the complaining I do at the front of the vid. haha!
Anyway...
We drove around Allen a little, just a small part of it, and captured fast moving clouds on camera. Another beautiful day, it was.
Aside from enjoying the weekend, I've been thinking about what videos I should make soon. For some reason, though, my motivation is lacking. I know what I want to do, just can't seem to get started. I'll be working on it!
In the meantime, enjoy the vid. There's more to come soon! (^.^)v

FitVlog #40 Updates & Fighting the Blues
Not much has changed, but I'll be resuming the INSANITY workout soon! I'm determined to finish the program and move on to the next. I'm not sure I'll record as much video of the next program I do. I kind of think not many find the videos useful, though they do seem to help me see what progress I'm making
In the meantime, enjoy the video, it may be the last of its kind! (^.^)v

FitVlogs #37-39!
For some reason,
In the meantime, here are the other FitVlogs I forgot to post! You may notice I started to slack off on the last two. The weather was supreme. I just had to get out there and use it! In the last vid, we played a bit of radio tag/hide 'n' seek. In this game, we're all outfitted with a walkie talkie. Some hiding happens with a little chatter on the radios, then a chase to the base. Normally, we play before it gets as dark as it was in the vid. Also, normally, we'd be in a much larger area, for optimal hiding to occur. Still, a good time was had. And, of course, I'm calling it a workout for that day!
Enjoy! (^.^)v

FitVlog #29 INSANITY, The FitTest & Feeling Discouraged
Yes, Recovery Week is over. I enjoyed it! But, I've missed the routine of the more intense workouts. No doubt, this second month of Insanity will not disappoint. In fact, I hope I make it through!
I've heard stories. They aren't pretty.
And so, here's the video of the FitTest that I'm to do every couple of weeks. I think I must have missed one! In any case, in the video are the stats of one of the FitTests I did early on with today's stats. Not much improvement was seen. Perhaps, it's because I was in fairly decent shape to begin with. Or maybe I'd better get a move on!
Today was an emotional one. Doubts were filling my head that I'll ever finish this program. And even if I do finish, will I be in good shape? Somehow I pushed through the excuses and exhaustion. It's difficult to give yourself a pep talk, sometimes, when you're working out alone. I recommend finding a group to workout with. Seriously. Or talk to me. :) We can help each other! I mean that. Just some words of encouragement are great.
Enjoy the video! (^.^)v

Quick Update! Trolls? & GoPro Issues
So, in this update on the goings on, I briefly mention a drive to Irving, Texas, with some video of the trip. We'd had some business to tend to there. More on that later... much later, in a whole other post, even.
I also chat a bit about my curiosity with the comment section. Some of my vids have been visited by potential trolls. Not altogether a bad thing, but I wonder if I'm truly at the point in vid-making to earn me some trolls! haha!
Oh, and the other thing I talk about is my beloved GoPro Hero3. I think it's got some issues. On the drive to Irving, the camera kept shutting itself off and it felt very hot to the touch. There was no temperature notice on the camera, so I'm just guessing that it's overheating for some reason. I've since updated the firmware. I'll give the GoPro a go very soon to see if that fixed it. By the way, there are videos about this very issue, the overheating, that is. Some suggest there may be a foil-backed sticker touching the battery leads. This was not the case with my GoPro, so it must be something else. I've had this camera for a while with no issues and really love it. Here's hoping the problem is solved quickly so I can get back on the road!
Alrighty, that about does it.
Enjoy the vid!

Road Trip! Wichita Mountains Oklahoma
I have to admit, this little road trip was much too short for my liking. A person needs more than a day to see the Wichita Mountains. Well, this person, anyway. haha! I didn't even get to hike some of my favorite trails.
In the video, you'll see the back roads most familiar to me, on the way to the Wichita Mountains Wildlife Refuge. Somehow, I ran out of space on my GoPro, right when we got to Mt. Scott. No worries, I came prepared, and captured the rest of the action on my Galaxy S5 phone.
As always, the drive up Mt. Scott makes me a little nervous. Something about the dizzying height and the edge of the road that appears to drop away suddenly. It's just a small mountain, but one of my favorites. The view from the top is lovely. Turkey vultures, or black vultures, circle the mountaintop all day, it seems. A person might not think a vulture could be beautiful, but when you see them soar, well, they are quite a sight!
The view was breathtaking. There were rain shafts off in the distance. I think I could sit on the rocks all day and watch the world. It's a peaceful place.
I've only captured a tiny glimpse of the Wichita Mountains. There is so much more to see! Next time we hope to bike around the park. I'm not sure if we'll give Mt. Scott a go, though. Did you see those cyclists going up that mountain!? Wow!
I hope you enjoy the vid! Take care out there! (^.^)v

Road Trip: Lake Murray, Oklahoma
To be considered "decent", a road trip must consist of a drive that is at least 2 hours long... one way, that is. Our recent drive to Lake Murray in Oklahoma certainly qualifies. Particularly, since there's a lovely view when we reach point B.
Now, you know I'm going to have to make another journey very soon. It's the way it goes. Once you take one drive, you're itching to get to the next. At least that's how it is for me!
Enjoy the vid of our latest travels. Take care out there!
(^.^)v
(btw... the vid was captured on the GoPro Hero3 Black Edition... ;)
