Finished trimming my hedges. So much better now! I was kinda dreading this task. I wish it was legal to just have a giant bonfire. Would be so much easier to get rid of all the branches. Going to take at least 5 trips to the dump and they charge now. It's probably illegal to dump it in the bush even though it's... freaking trees. Stupid laws lol.

Rust converter on the car? Hmm. I hear complaints about people trying that. Can't recall ... maybe problems painting over.

BTW, If you're dealing with little bare spots where paint chipped off, you can rub them with a fiberglass pen to remove surface corrosion before painting.

I usually don't bother with rust converter but figured I'd try it out. It's actually interesting to see it at work, it's turning it black. Might have to go back and put more as some rust spots did not quite convert but maybe it will take a while longer. With all the salt they put on our roads it's inevitable that it will rust again, this is mostly just to prolong it so it does not rust right out. If I had a proper garage/shop area I would do under the car too. My garage is way too small to work on a car though. I don't even use it for parking in.

No blue lights. just slowly rolling all headlights spotlights and whatever you call the ones on the roof light bar.

I waved. I couldn't see if they waved back. It was quite blinding.

I really need to get a proper camcorder if I'm going to try to do vlogs.

Half my head is out of frame because I can't see live view of what is actually recording when using DSLR. This footage is basically unusable. Part of it is an unboxing, not going to repackage the box just so I can reshoot lol.

Oddly I did do a test shot to go see if I'm in frame and I was, I must have slightly readjusted camera right after.

Yay thunderstorm. Power flickered. Hopefully my UPS holds this time if power goes out. :p Last time power went out I found out I had a shorted cell in one of my batteries. It didn't tough more than like 2 hours lol. Suppose to do 4.
