Good morning!!!!

[buckeyefarmer]

Really windy last night, today, and tonight.

Oldest son came up for a few days.

For my church live streaming, my son has been complaining the video lags the audio. I’ve just been using an IP security camera. I ended up ordering a really nice PTZ camera that supports NDI. I just discovered NDI a few weeks ago and am a big fan of it. It’s basically super compressed video over IP.
I got the new camera set up and tested at home last night, and today installed it at the church building on a tripod for now. It fixed the lag issue, has better zoom and is just fun to use.
I now use NDI to send ministers PowerPoint to my stream, and NDI to send our music to the stream, and NDI now for the video.
Tomorrow I have a new surprise for the viewers. I created an intro slideshow with a countdown timer till worship starts, and it plays music while they come online and wait.

Internet still dropping out periodically.

Too cold and windy to mow.

Might be heading to AR this week to get son’s college room stuff, and retrieve our Honda Pilot still there.

Oldest son’s windows laptop died last night. He ordered a new macbook today.

Prayers for all

Good morning, no snow here, although a change to colder times looks to be on it's way. The sky has clouded over and the wind is up, revealing the fresh green underside of the new leaves on trees. So far the hawthorn is managing to hold on to it's creamy white blossom, forecast says the weather is set to play tug of war with it all day long.

I don't think people are too good at this social distancing thing. I was out mowing at the farm and saw a neighbor and his dad. It seemed rude not to stop and say hello. Dad had to keep telling his son to step back. I don't think it is natural. An older gentleman who was delivering Mothers day flowers rang the door bell and I almost opened the door until I remembered and asked him to leave them outside. We still have the virus spreading around our county. I need to get better at this stuff.

Chris, you are right, keeping distance is not an easy thing.

In historic times some people were much better at containing deadly infections. At school we learned about a village called Eyam, which went into a self imposed quarantine in 1665 to contain the plague. Many within the village died, but they stopped it from being passed on to others. Wonder if they would have been as successful if they had a Home Depot store to tempt them away from home ?

Why is Eyam Significant? - Historic UK

34 right now...high about 50 today.

I'll do the grinding I put off from yesterday, once it warms up a bit. Then laundry...

50 degrees going for a calm and sunny 78 today.

I don't know how many people are involved in the business of selling/installing clear shields between cashiers and customers, but they sure must be making money. It seems that such are being installed everywhere.

Bird, now there will be a shortage of Lexan.

Roy, hope only a little grinding is needed.

Buckeye, hope you have a safe trip to AR this week.

Don, where do you find a good quality cabinet nowadays? We do have a kitchen and bath cabinet company here. But nothing for under $100 How about Habitat for Humanity store?

Drew, hope you are getting better.

Prayers and best wishes for everyone.

Good Morning All.

Have you looked into the Tapatalk app? That what I use on iPhone and iPad to interface TBN, TNT, Welding Site and a number of others. Polaris Ranger, Corvette, PowerStroke, Woodworking, etc.

Thanks. Yep, I use it, too, on my android, but most times use the laptop.

Of course, haven't seen the problem again since I mentioned it.

Maybe the birds changed their name after the Baltimore Orioles had such a bad couple of years in baseball.

31 this morning with heavy frost and hard ice in the bird baths...like early March. Global cooling is back, like in the 1970s, probably because the ozone hole filled back in.

Hope all the mothers have a special Mother's Day! I'm sure many will have to do "visit" with their children from a distance.
