    I like to spend time with my wife, and my family.(mom, and dad, sister's family..I dont have my family yet).
    This time of year, I like to spend time with the guys in the wheat fields while they are cutting here at home, before they head up north. I havent had a chance to get out there, yet. Been spending a lot of time with my wife. :|
    I see combines running when I make my run every night. I just keep itching, and scratching, and going through my box of Kleenex.

    I know what that's like, Jackrabbit. A freshly cut hayfield is enough to trigger an asthma attack on me. :shock:

    What I meant was, that I'm always itching, and scratching about going. Getting excited. :P
    Or, perhaps, you knew what I meant, and you were being funny. Could be. I just thought of that. :shock:

    Twilight Flyer, what type of movies do you make?...

    I started doing something similar a while back... Mostly animal, nature type little home movies... I did one of my friends home farm, with all the cows, chickens, barn cats, goats he had at the time, and him out haying in one of his fields... It was a cute little movie...

    I made a very short film back when I was raising my bull calf, showing the shelter I'd built for him, and just him inside relaxing...

    The last one I filmed was when I went on a whale watch tour, and filmed Humpback whales off the coast... That was definitely a challenge, trying to capture the whales as they surfaced... Took a lot of editing once I got it home... Definitely not easy to film whales, that's for sure... :wink:

    Nope. Thought you were talking about allergies.

    Right now, the project has been creating a music video with my kids lip-syncing to Numa Numa in various locations. Yes, they have fallen victim to that craze...and I admit that I've been a willing instigator in that, too. Outside of that, I've done a few short things for a project I'm putting together for our parents. As I learn more about this software package and my camera, I'll probably end up doing more. My children have had no end of suggestions, now that we're actually doing one.

    That sounds like fun... It's great when you figure it all out, and can create titles, learn how to "fade to black", and all the other special effects...

    It's funny you mentioned wanting to make a film for your parents... Now I'm older, and my brother has 3 small kids... I actually got the idea to think about making a film of my parents that would not only be for my brother, and I... But, for his kids when they get older...

    Kind of like a documentary interviewing my parents separately, then together... Like a chronicle of their lives, what their childhoods were like, how they grew up, things they did in their lives, what their dreams, and goals were, and more personal questions... Have them tell stories of their lives that the grand kids could learn from, and appreciate when they get older...

    Basically the story of their lives, that would be a momento that would be cherished when the day comes they are no longer with us... I thought it would be a unique idea... Often people video tape family events, and enjoy viewing them. But, when you have retired parents, how many people ever really sit down with them, and ask them to chronicle their lives... I think it would be valuable for the generations to look back on, and it is a unique opportunity to allow grand kids, to view later in their lives who their grand parents were, and the lives they lived...

    I got the idea from some distant relatives we had who told us about their lives living in a rural area of another state, and the adventures they had, and how they lived during those times... I remember being fascinated by their stories, and wished I could have the video camera I have today to have filmed, and kept those stories, and memories...

    There are still things I never knew about my own parents, that I'm still learning about to this day... They've just never sat down with us, and discussed them... If I did a video, it would give them the chance to really show us who they are as individuals, not just as our parents...

    Considering your other hobbies, and interests, I bet you could make some fun family films with your kids, going on fishing trips, camping, etc...

    WOW!... :shock: I guess you have a lot of interests... You think you could take one of them, and turn it into something that would be profitable, that may help to erase your debt?...

    I like to play a "Truck Driver" video game to keep my skills honed to perfection. It is in real time..and you need to concentrate, because the skill level I am at is "Super Trucker." I am up to 3,432 hours of play time, and over 130,000 accident-free miles. I haul reefer mostly. It's funny, when you hit a skunk, your screen gets blurry, like if your eyes are watering.

    Cool thing though, you can set parameters for for CB, Dispatching, etc. CPM, Tractor, everything.... you can make it how you want it, so, it is a lot more fun than real life. 8)
