After I posted about the Chili Wiener I realized I forgot to mention a few things.
The chili I made was much hotter than I normally make. The night before I tried a bowl and my teeth went numb and all I could say was, “Wowsa!” The wife couldn’t eat more than a spoonful. Now that I’ve had a few bowls I think it is my best.
I took the video using my new Sony AS200V action cam. It is a nifty little camera that
allows ten hours or more of video. The quality of the video is superb. Much better than YouTube shows. Best of all it has built-in anti-vibration so that the videos have a smoother feel. It has tons of options and
does far more than I will ever need. I attached it to the bike via the K-Edge Go Big Camera Mount. The camera mount is rock solid. I haven’t tested it out but supposedly you get two and a half hours on a battery charge. I bought two extra batteries with an extra charger. When I got home, edited the video down to ten minutes or so I told the wife about it. The conversation went like this:
Me: I finalized the video of my bike ride. Do you want to see it?
Wife: It’s just you riding your bike. right?
Me: Yeah
Wife: Any deer or interesting wildlife?
Me: No
Wife: So it’s just you riding your bike?
Me: Yeah
Wife: Oh boy, put it on.
The wife being a non-cyclist was underwhelmed whereas I was excited. It works just like it is supposed to. The software that came with it overlays the speed, distance and other info on the screen. Then I put it into Adobe Premiere Elements and added a title and edited it down to it’s final state.
