Derailed

In a word. FRUSTRATED ...  The program that I have used to convert my MOD files from my video camera ... I can't find the setting.. I do a test video and think, there it is.. Then I do the whole run of videos and ... They look HORRIBLE...  Maybe horrible is too strong of a word.. I'm not a perfectionist, this video will be going to YouTube and be seen by nearly nobody unless I link it to facebook or here..  But I want it to look good, close to the original but it is tough to get.. The forth attempt to get it is  going (converting) as I write this.. Last night I was converting the second attempt at about midnight.. I thought I'd wait and get an idea how long it would take.. and ended up doing some things I had been meaning to do.. First..  Google Earth.. Just for shits & giggles I opened that program up because sometime last fall I met the Google Earth vehicle out by Sapps and thought, I wonder if they were running their camera that day..  Well strange thing.. I was on the four lane heading towards the McD out on "hamburger hill"  as everyone calls it, and there it was McD with the old roof on it.. Still no change yet.. Made the turn to go north on the street that goes by the shed and the Sapp parking lot and ... Suddenly it was like a time warp.. It went from whenever that was shot to whenever the day that I was there was shot.. There I was, the white Buick heading north.. I couldn't tell it was me (couldn't see my ugly self driving) and the plates were fuzzed out both front and back..  I can't remember which day it was. I want to say November or February but can't remember.. Anyway I came to the 'burg here to see if the town was different.. And sure enough the neighbors vehicles are what they are now.. The old pickup is in front, and the patch that I would eventually reseed wasn't done yet.. Not sure when they were through but I'm figuring it was almost when I did that patch.. The truck would be moved the Wednesday before Labor day .. I think that was the day.. It was about that time although the exact date is eluding me right now..  Then I take a look at my little brothers abode and the earlier GE showed his back yard without the fence.. Same as now except just like out at Mc.d there are some frames with the fence and some without.. Very strange to see, like a time warp thing..   It says May of 2012, with the old from 2008.. Not sure any of those dates are right..

Watched a few shows via Roku last night.. First Hell On Wheels.. A series from last year on AMC.. Looks to be a pretty good show.. Then because mom is talking about watching it I started watching Frasier.. I had started watching it shortly after getting the box at Christmas time but I was using the show to fall asleep by, so I restarted the series from show one.. I forgot how good that show is.. I used to watch it when it was actually on.. Video taping it and watching it back in "the day" as it were.. This show does make me do that LOL thing..  So currently I am watching the Bannen way on Crackle (series) and Coupling and Frasier and Hell On Wheels on the Netflix.. I check Cryptic channel daily.. That's a good channel for b grade movies and tv shows..  And.. oops the converter is done.. Entry complete..
