Guilty. I overthink things that are technical. We’ been faced with the possible failure of a macerator pump that serves to empty waste tanks on the RV. And I did not want to learn what happens when those tanks are full, with no visible means of undertaking the “big dump”. The reseult is that I’ve watched videos and read forum posts and fretted.

Along the way, I had the responsibility to listen. To others; I tuned out the voices in my head, a long time ago. There was one place where I wish I had li<stened with more care. Convocation addresses.

I had to find out. When did YouTube begin? Of course, Google knew. Back in 2005, in Califormia. What I didn’t get from the query is the part I actu.ally wanted to know. Did the idea for the service begin with a parent faced with the daunting homework assignment of sending Buddy off to do his turn on stage in “show And Tell”. I have my suspicions

Keeping an eye on your property? There are centuries of prior art. Consider a tower, in the corner of the castle keep. We’ve moved ahead, some. Want some good hints? Watch that “Home Alone” movie. Or some of the Mission Impossible catalog. Want something more modern? YouTube, naturally.

Yes, my failing eyesight reduces the contrast. If any one else wondeers about what I see… just wait for a foggy evening.

New life skills; now include attending meetings remotely. In my “old job”, that was one of my special tasks. I kept a whole group of indviduals in the same virtual room, using video conference equipment. It worked, almost always. And I learned to intervene graciously because administrators are best handled with gently interventions.

Another afternoon of going down a virtual rabbit hole. Today, triggered by the concept of offroading, I watched more videos. Why? In part because one of the kids now has this on his interest list, and as a parent, I feel obligated to keep up.

Back in ’77 I was a very young aand new amateur radio operator. Still waiting to try my upgrade examination to Advanced Class (Canadian). And through an odd alignment of “stars” I ended up attending the National Convention. In Toronto. Overwhelming given my level of expertise and my budget.
