So Anyway...

Super cool. I hope to be doing some of this myself soon. The guy (Levi) we're doing the YouTube channel with not only builds motorcycles but he builds boats as well, and since he has been sidetracked with health issues for the past year and a half he is itching to get back into this stuff. There's a jon boat and a couple of interesting jon boat like shapes I've never seen before which are in the pipe for restoration as well as two choppers.

We used a GoPro to capture the cleanup action in the new Studio which is a room next to the garage. This will allow us to hardwire some IP cams for capturing anything that happens in the shop directly to a video server.

We are going to put a bike lift in as well and probably build a pole barn just outside the shop so we can work outside if we want without getting sunburn. Everything will be wired up with cameras.

Once the studio is ready we can begin the process of building the channel and organizing, cataloging and archving the data for each item in a publicly accessible database. All media will use a Creative Commons copyright and will be available royalty free for use in other productions. Sort of like a free stock photo/video site.

We registered the domain yesterday for creativecontentcollective.com and our group here in Phenix City will be the first, and founding, chapter with goals to cover as much of the history and ecology of the Chattahoochee Valley as we can. Hopefully we can eventually enlist others to do the same in their local areas and contribute to the media archives and share in the revenue from the channel views and Patreon donations. It's sort of like how public television has affiliates that produce content for the national network crossed with boy scouts how the chapters are dedicated to learning all about and preserving the local ecosystem.

I will be setting up the YouTube channel this weekend and hopefully posting some of the first clips.

So anyway....

View attachment 74215

I've been learning Dutch for over a year now and just completed a 365 day streak of doing at least one lesson to keep the streak alive. I am not quite fluent yet at conversational speaking, but I can read and write it pretty well now and starting to be able to decipher new words based on the root. Dutch, like German and English, has a lot of compound words.

The trickiest part so far is word order because Dutch does subject, object, verb in most cases, but for compound sentences it can go subject, verb, object like English. Now speaking it properly will be the next real challenge.

I am also learning German and French. I actually took German for two years in highschool, but remembered very little until I started up with Duolingo.

I highly recommend this app. It makes it quite easy indeed. Learning is literally my favorite thing in the world, so I get hooked on stuff like this easily. They even have Hawaiian and Irish courses....Y'all should try it out.

Almost every language except English uses the word order of Subject, Object, Verb. That's why it always seems weird to English speakers learning a second language, and visa versa. Since I grew up bi-lingual, I often mix up the order when speaking as the two halves of my brain are never in agreement.

The YouTube channel is up with a teaser clip of some of the footage from our first historical reconnaissance mission to the Alabama State Docks in Phenix City where cotton used to be stored and shipped up the Chattahoochee river.



Please excuse the soundtrack, my brother is a young YouTube junkie and he loves this sort of stuff. :facepalm: It does connect better with a wider audience.

I forgot to mention it would be awesome if you guys could subscribe and hit the bell and all that jazz. :giggle:

So anyway... this project is starting to get pretty interesting. We will call this guy Mr. G for future reference, and he it's starting to get more comfortable and actually told us a little bit about some of the experimental weapons he helped develop. This guy is a certifiable genius and the US has some super cool weapons that I've not even seen in fictional movies or books. He is going to verify if any names listed in his documents are still working on classified projects so we can start scanning in files, manuals and photos for archival and display.

I also met the late night DJ for WPNX AM here in Phenix City from 1960-67. He loves early rock n roll and was also the broadcast technician that worked on the 5000W broadcast amplifiers they used back then, which is what lead to the DJ gig. He was Freddie Hart's publicity manager from 1972 until he died and has interviewed a lot of famous musicians from that era which he is finally using in a project of his own. One super cool fact about him is that he was the program director for the XM Channel 50s on 5 before it became Sirius. He chose everything you ever heard on that channel back in the day. Small world!

Thanks for checking it out and subscribing. :H5:

Please be careful. It is easy to run into legal trouble with unique (home made) or modified weapons. I have found the firearms owners understanding of the laws often differs from that of law enforcement.

He is a retired Master Gunner Sergeant at Fort Benning. He told me there are some things he won't be able to disclose, so I trust his judgement. He is a super knowledgeable guy. Most of these designs are from his military experience.

I am suggesting that trusting his judgment is a bad idea. The law is very foggy in these areas. I have known gun store owners to get raided and the owner arrested based on things he thought were completely legal.

In any event, at minimum, never take possession of any of these firearms in any manner whatsoever - including driving to a shoot location with the guns in the car. I say this because I care: you are in precarious territory. Be very careful.
