107 Friday Sep 17

Friday Sep 17 Day 107


The weather report said that today would be Sunny. I did see one small patch of blue sky which has been replaced with an unbroken cloud cover. It evidently rained very hard last night and again about 5 this morning.


There has been a major setback to the success of my venture. Both of my video cameras are refusing to work because of “condensation in the camera”. If any drops of water form inside the inner workings of the camera the camera shuts down. All I can do is seal the cameras up in plastic bags and include the moisture removing packs of silica-gel. I will have to wait a full day to see if the condensation has evaporated.


During my early morning “think” session I came up with a way to tape the road leading from the plains to Woodstock. There is a stretch of this highway that has multiple hairpin curves and is the most memorable part of the trip. Using a light weight tripod in the front seat of an Omni taxi I get the effect of riding up the mountain. It works but I cannot actually shoot any test footage because of my friendly condensation problem.

About Me

My photo
I have twin sons with 2 children each. I will miss them when in India. I have been a job gypsy all my life looking for new challenges constantly. I got bored quickly except when teaching. 3 years as a Middle School Music Teacher and 9 years as an Assistant Professor of Music. I played in a Country Western Band when I went back to college at 39 to get a degree in Accounting. I was a CPA that worked in various companies, the longest for 5 years and the shortest for 2 days. I spent most of my accounting life working as a Project Accountant where I would come in to solve a particular problem. I was rarely required to do a lot of the boring stuff for very long. With the passing of my wife and NO job to go to, I can now pursue my dreams in India.
