Anyone want to see an Assumption of Command?

Thought I'd put it here first. I'm probably getting more cake than is going to be eaten, and have a couple of spare spaces available. Anyone in the central Texas area (think Dallas/Austin distance)...

Talk on armored formations history

Greets. If you didn't catch it on FB or X, I was asked to give a presentation on the history of armored formations and to put them into a modern context for engineers. Timestamped at about 54:30 2024-01-02 19:45:18 +0000 UTC View Post

San Francisco, short notice drinkies

Is anyone in San Francisco interested in a pint the evening of Thu the 28th? I'll aim for 2030 at The Chieftain (where else?) on 5th st. Note, if nobody confirms, I won't show. 

A new "Worst Driver's Position" has been identified

For an upcoming Inside the Chieftain's Hatch.

Next T-shirt design

It seems to be impossible for me to travel without incident. Looks like the Belgians gave me COVID. I think this is my third go-around, I'm getting a bit tired of it.

However, in the meantime...

Upcoming Travel.

Greets.

For those who may happen to be around and not following my FB, a heads-up. I’ll be at the open house at the Fort Moore National Armor and Cavalry Collection on Saturday morning, and...

Questions for Perun

Greetings.

Perun, of the Orange-and-Black-Powerpoint Fame, has agreed to an interview. What questions should I ask him? I'm not likely to ask everything posted here, mind, but I'll certainly ...

Another audio upgrade.

Well, the Deity shotgun mike saved my ass on the recent filming trip to Warren, MI, as the Sarmonics I’ve been using for years failed me yet again. I must assume a hardware fault at this point. S...

New audio gear. Thank you Patreons.

Recent events have indicated that I needed a better backup to the lav mikes (which seem to die every couple of months) than the built-in on the camera.  So, one directional shotgun mike. Hopef...

ARGH!!!!

Every time I go to film, I tell myself, "make sure your gear isn't visible in the background". And every time I go to film, I somehow manage to miss small pieces of gear almost hidden in a corner.....

Well, COVID sucks.... but I'm back on it.

So I picked up the virus my last day in Finland, and it's had me in bed the last few days which has set me behind schedule. However, I am a little more up to it, and starting to work on my backlog....

Helsinki Drinky

Meet-up time! Richmond, VA 12APR

Well, the Challenger 1's the last video I have filmed, so I need to get on the road and film more. So my travels are going to take me to Richmond.

So, considering a meal and a pint for dinner...

T-Shirt Caption

So the other suggestion I'm going with for the next release is a Bob Semple shirt, but I'm not sure what text should go on it. Right now, it's just a simple "Semple!", but if there's any particular...

Trying for Benning, again. Pint session, 25AUG

So much for that trip… cancelled.

Got as far as Houston, delayed flight missed the last connection. All flights the following day booked until late. Not worth my continuing on to Benning for a half-day so I’m just turning around ...
