Like many of you the topic of my daily life has become – it is HOT! Ok, we have not hit the 100’s yet but probably will do so today according to our local weather peeps. Until our insulation situation is handled I am living in the one room with the portable A/C venturing out only when necessary. I spent too long up here and the heat crept up on me. All of a sudden I was turning green. I am sure I looked red but I felt green . …
I did get some green and red bell peppers planted and a few flowers working late in the evening. It finally cooled down enough so at 10p.m. porch light on I got them into their pots. Yesterday it was surprise HOT – well outside was only 97 and upstairs here averaged 86 during the afternoon so I ended up turning the computers off before they too melted down and oozed some sort of bubbling green goo that is often seen in sci-fi movies.
Once again I became bored with reading so I located some green screen shots where the lighting was off causing me to take on a green skin tone – I could have added some Vulcan ears and hit the deck of the Enterprise! When too much green bounces back off the screen or the subject is too close to the screen it is hard if not sometimes impossible chroma key out (fancy name for getting all the green screen out of the pic and leave just the subject). I get very frustrated sometimes because it is hard to stay 10 feet away from the screen in a 10×11 room. The lighting has to be ever so spot on.
After it cooled down I played around with some bad green screen video. Some of the process and short end result of my playing around are here:

You turned green. It’s 86 here…blah, I have been in the house all day (central air), can’t even take the dog out for a pee. I could melt, but if I don’t get him out soon, he could burst! Let’s see…melt…burst…melt…burst. The dog votes melt…off we go!
Wish I could run the central right now but between the new energy meter reading three times as fast as the old one and the installation folks not placing the insulation in the attic back proper I am back to the portable in the one room until we can find someone to get up into the attic and fix the hot air leaks.
Stay cool – I let Annie and Catfish use the doggie door. Although Catfish is mostly up in the air conditioned room with me he is a wimp like me. 🙂
I don’t envy you. I’ve been in the Central Valley when it’s in triple digits, and it hurts.
As much as I whine about rainy gray Seattle, today it has finally worked its way up to 70°, the warmest it’s been so far this year. Me, I’ll take rainy and gray over triple digits any day.
Stay cool, if you can.
I like the weather up there much better also. I loved it when I would get to spend time at my Aunt and Uncles in the summer time. My one Aunt would make me berry pies out of all the berries I could pick. YUM!
You keep gettin’ fancier and fancier. I’ll never be able to catch up!

did I miss the contest notice? LOL
No. There was never I contest. Bottom line is I wish I could do the same. That’s all.
Ack 102! No thanks. Good luck.
So, you’re getting more talented all the time with the video. Got some ideas for a project?
No ideas maybe try making 3D with only one camera ummm . .. offset the timing or something like that I dunno.
Suggestions welcome although no always taken 🙂

Whew – I was thinking maybe I forgot something. Sherri and I sort of had one once so it was not out of the whelm of possibilities. I seem to forget many things lately.
I am betting you can do it with your own flair of course – it is all about the fun and sometimes a good road trip!

105 every day here right now… and no rain! ugh
i LOVE your videos!! they are so fun… even when you are green…. 😉
yeah it is hot for sure and your all hotter that sucks the big one for us MS folks!
Hurry up and get the cam so we can play video games LOL
At 100+, not even a cooking vest would last very long. I’d go for one that you soak in cook water, then switch it out every few hours. Cheaper than A/C!!
What does your T-shirt say after “If you can read this…”? It was bunched up and I couldn’t read further.
Keep entertaining yourself, and us, with your videos. Keeps you out of trouble.
It is designed after an eye chart it says:
IF
U CAN
READ T
HIS SHIRT
YOU ARE STAN
D ING TOO CLOSE
TOO CLOSE
STEP BACK
AND AWAY
Then at very bottom Legal notice: if you have serious problems with your eyesight, please seek the advice of a qualified eye care professional.
I get it. In other words, it’s a perfect shirt to wear in your neighborhood.
I never thought about it in that way but your right!
I see from the other comments that we all have heat! I stay in a/c too. We did get a bit of rain today so our humidity will stop being so dry at 35%….I am used to Georgia heat/humidity 🙂 Green you are….
Yeah it is that time of the year! The humidity always kicked me bad when visiting back south it is more dry heat here whew!
Today it is way cooler have not checked the outside temp but it is only 76F upstairs about 10 less than yesterday at this time 🙂 woo hoo!!
