    BIG Owl on my Trail

    Emergency Power/Storms/Prepping etc

    I had uploaded (I thought) the video of the dripping earlier but it did not take. It is a .dav file which is native to the cameras and when I tried again i noticed that it tilted. VLC does not convert .davs very well so I managed to get smartplay to export to a .avi. turns out that .avi is also...

    Emergency Power/Storms/Prepping etc

    I'm not in the area this time but I left the freezemiser on the faucet instead of the cattle trough. The temperature this morning was about 21F. The clip shows the dribble and that could easily make 100 gallons overnight. The picture shows my setup this year. Also these two events were almost...

    Temporary POE connection.

    Temporary POE connection.

    Another camera is currently mounted on that box. The second POE will just be for testing in that area instead of running another cable.

    Temporary POE connection.

But as I type this I remember that as a kid, we had a toy(?) that was RTV (?) and forms that we could make things like cockroaches to put in ice cubes. Could one come up with a form and use that stuff to make a bushing?
