Wednesday 8-21 Birthday Gift

Awesome Day

For quite some time Larry has been thinking about getting an action camera. Many of the YouTube folks use GoPro action cameras for parts of their videos. Larry figures he won't use one very much and has not wanted to spend the money on one. Well Louise bought him one for his birthday. Actually she gave him some gift cards for Amazon and he used those to purchase a 4K Action Camera by DB Power. It arrived yesterday. Last night Larry set it up and figured out how to use it. Today we used the camera to record video as we drove around town. It worked well. It has a lot of wonderful features such as WiFi, 170 degree wide angle lens, 2 inch screen, rechargeable battery and is waterproof down to 100 ft. There are a few features that would be nice, someway to charge the battery outside of the camera, a zoom lens and a way to use an external microphone. The camera came with a stand and a bunch of attachments that allow you to mount it on many different things such as the dash of your car. We put it on the dash as we drove around town.

We spent the morning doing this and that. The first stop was the Belton Post Office to stop the mail. The second stop was Great Cuts so Larry could get a hair cut. While he was doing this I walked over to Walmart to pick up a few things. When Larry was finished we went next door and picked up our mail at the UPS Store. Then we went across the street to HEB and did our grocery shopping for our trip.

After lunch we went to Temple and stopped at Aldi for a couple of things. Then we took the car to Mister Car Wash to give it a bath.

When we got home I finished loading the Minnie with the food. Afterwards I did laundry.  Tomorrow I'll load up our clothes.

In the evening we watched a few episodes of Boston Legal. Then I watched a few episodes of Frankie Drake Mysteries. We had a relaxing evening.
