RET-ADD.com

Well, I done gone and did it. The Intro to RET-ADD is on YouTube. It isn’t quite what I envisioned, but it is what I created. I will update it in the future when I have a better graphic, and will redo the video/audio too. However, it is up, and I am happy.

You can see the clip from the About page in this Blog website. Go ahead and “critique” it every which way. I need to understand how to make it better.

For certain the audio could be better. While the Rode Mic isn’t bad, I can do better with a wired Lav one. Next video will use one I have to see if that cuts back on the background noise.

Of course, I need to learn to focus on the camera (you) when I speak. This wasn’t as easy as I thought it would be. I am using an external monitor (a BIG one) so I can see the image and where things are focused. I have a 5 inch monitor that I could use right above / beside the camera, but I find it hard to see details.

On the work front, we may have found our second Pune FTE. He is being interviewed my management today to confirm that he will “fit in”. If so, it may be another month or so before he would start. The first gentleman will be starting mid-July.

It will be good to start the training process. That too will put me on video — internally. I will be doing overviews saved on Microsoft Teams video. Lovely.. I do look so professional and composed on video, don’t I ??

The new home state search is still actively happening on-line. I’ve looked at dozens of cites in Georgia, and Ohio. Seems that with the Georgia homes, I like the houses that are on way too big of plots of land. I love the house, and then notice it is on 1, to as many as 16, acres. Um, not for me. 1/4 Acre is about right. Also, there seem to be a lot fewer Condo possibilities in the cities I like in Georgia.

On the other hand, the places in Ohio (Lake County) are the right sized lots, for the single homes, but the houses aren’t as nice. There was one exception to that, but it seems to have just a single car garage.

I want either a 2 + car garage (the Truck and my Trike) to have room for workshop, or a large outbuilding with electricity (and thus heat in winter) so I can play.

Still, both areas are my focus, and I’ll figure this out during my northern travel in a couple of months.

I picked another Pineapple, and 20 or so mangos, and brought them into the Office to share. They be some good eats!!!. Trouble for me though. They are full of nasty carbs, and I haven’t dropped a pound in 3 weeks. Not going up, but steady isn’t what I want…

That’s all for now.

Enjoy Life
