Roundtrip Redeye →

in , ,

I knew I was going to get this trip yesterday so I was able to prepare for it with a nap and some large amounts of coffee. LAX-MCO (not Buffalo), at the hotel for 11 hours then back to LAX. Short and sweet video since I can't really do too much recording. Thanks for watching! I also forgot my GoPro in the car so I didn't get anything on it. Thinking of pulling the trigger on the GoPro Karma Grip or DJI Osmo Gimbal.

Yesterday around noon, I noticed that I was assigned a day trip today that consisted of LGB-SMF-LGB-LAS-LGB which also started at 6:00AM and ended at 2:30PM. No traffic both ways, I got home at 4:30PM in time to hang out at the park with friends and catch dinner at Board and Brew. Buffalo tomorrow!

Oh, and I got a new Handlebar / Seatpost / Pole Mount for my bicycle and an extra flex clamp grip!

Short and Sweet →

I'm finding it a little "difficult" to get the camera out early in the morning and start sprinting. So today, I was able to capture the kids at a local park and followed by a short drive in picking up a craigslist bought car seat and a new cable modem. I'll talk about that tomorrow but ended the night on a nightcap of Tacobell 7-Layer goodness and some Bulleit Bourbon.

Day 9 Short and Sweet I'm finding it a little "difficult" to get the camera out early in the morning and start sprinting. So today, I was able to capture the kids at a local park and followed by a short drive in picking up a craigslist bought car seat and a new cable modem.

Puddles, Poppies and Pie →

in , , , , , ,

Seven days straight!!! I seriously don't wake up "late" everyday but that seems to be the current trend.  I even set the alarm today for 7AM so that I could cook some oatmeal, grab some gatorade and take it easy. Thirty minutes later, I jump out of bed, put on my cycling gear, hoodies and shorts then run out the door. 

The Bike ride was awesome which included a really fast downhill with an abrupt dead end followed by a puddle, a snake and some amazing poppies. Just as it was coming to an end, my right calf completely froze up solid. Not good. Got back to the start, drove home, showered, school for a conference, small errands, dance then pie! 

Around 4:30, I also have the Rumpl unveiling! So warm, soft and awesome! Check them out! I'll have a review a little later down the road after we use it for camping at the end of the month.

Pancakes and Picnics →

in ,

Once again, I woke up a little late as my son was tossing and turning all night. Yes, he still sleeps with me but it's awesome. But because I was late and pancakes were on demand, we arrived late for school. I hung around a bit, went to the bank then back home. Had to make some coffee, ate a bit, then all of a sudden, back to school for pickup. Nap, CCD, then a photoshoot for Rancho Penasquitos Banner Advertisement for the San Diego Fair (Del Mar Fair) followed by a small picnic.  Good times with amazing weather. 

Day 6 A Little Slow and Tired Once again, woke up a little late as my son was tossing and turning all night. Yes, he still sleeps with me but it's awesome. But because I was late, I made some speed pancakes, then off to school, hung around a bit, bank then back home.

Switch and Scooters →

Starting off the day in a hectic breeze, it ended on a beautiful note with family and friends. I'm getting the hang of it and am able to edit and publish in wicked speed which means, I'm going to have to start dedicating more time to cinematography. =) Thanks again for subscribing and following along!

Day 5 Switch and Scooters Springing forward, breakfast, church, brunch, coffee, Switch and Scooters then calling it a night.

Grilled Cheeses!

Day Four of the continuing adventure and definitely didn't capture all that I wanted today due to the crazy amount of traffic surrounding Balboa Park. We did get to see the Cherry Blossoms from afar and the ones lining up Park Boulevard, but hey, we saved some money not buying tickets afterall. Thanks again for following along!

Westjet Boeing 737 Executes a LOW Rejected Landing in St. Maarten →

in ,

As most aviation followers know, the "almost crashes" is an over exaggeration in general, but I will admit that this Westjet 737 from Toronto did get pretty low. Most are attributing it to windshear but there is never a definitive story, in my mind, unless it's from either pilots at the helm. Till then, watch their perfectly executed missed approach. 

Only a few feet missing and the Boeingjet from Toronto could have crashed into the water. A shocking moment for all of us at the sunset bar on Maho Beach, St. Maarten. The incident happened on 03/07/2017.
