Things have been busy again since we left South Texas. First, was the week of heading west to Mary’s (my wife)family in New Mexico. Then the trip back to the Great Lakes just in time for my oldest grandson’s high graduation. Then to New Hampshire to attend the 2nd birthday party for another grandson, then back to Michigan, helping get the graduation open house set up.

So now I think I can get things started. First, I’ll begin with posting NWS graphics with a blog post here. Once I have a handle on the work flow, I’m going to begin recording things. My livestream efforts have been stymied a bit as my Mac (2017) and my iPad (2025) don’t play well together. I can stream from my tablet, but trying to switch apps (Safari to RadarScope to Everything Weather and back again) with the video without a lot of transitioning is a little on the bulky side. So, I’m going to go back to my roots of screen capture and video editing to get my project off the ground. I can livestream radar data. I did that when the straight line winds (over 100 mph) moved through South Texas. So, I can probably do a version of some of the other YouTubers. Although my focus will be on South Texas and Northern Michigan. My original podcast was Northern Michigan Recreational Weather (about 20 years ago), was okay, but I couldn’t sustain it. Besides it was more of a way to play with the technology and show the proof of concepts back in the day.
