Is iPhone 11 Still Good in 2021

Image
 Hey guys welcome back to the website. This time I wanted to talk about the iPhone 11. Thats right an old phone now that the iPhone 12 is available. So what is the fuss and why should you upgrade or why should you stick with the 11. Heres the scoop.                                                                             pexels.com  Ok so the iPhone 11 is now just $599  (The 12 starts at $799) and is still a great phone. Some major differences between these two siblings is body style. The iPhone 12 has gone to a more squared off full body style phone. This style is more like the older iPhone bodies and also similar to the new iPad Pro and iPad Air.  Another difference is the cameras on the iPhone 12 offer night mode on the ultra wide and selfie camera. The 11 does have ni  got mode but only on the wide angle camera.  This feature is awesome and I have taken pictures using this feature and was impressed by my iPhone 11s abilities to perform this.  One major difference is the 5G.

Chase Tripod Review

Image
 This little tripod was in a display box in front of the electronics section of my local Walmart. It had a shiny box that showed people having fun with the tripod as well as flaunted a low price of just $14.88. Of course me being the tech guru that I am picked it up and looked more closely at the box.  I was instantly hooked. The box told wonders of object and facial recognition as well as a full 360 degree turning radius. Wow I thought to myself. How can this be? I put the box in my buggy and continued shopping around. I began to feel my patience running thin and started to rush my wife to leave so we could go home and I could play with my new exciting toy.  Ok, so here we go. Upon arrival at home I noticed that the tripod required 3 AA batteries not included. I also read that another app needed downloading. I took care of those minor things and began my adventure. After reading all the directions and following them perfectly I noticed that the tripod was not following my face. So I s

Pleasant Creek West Virginia

Image
 We took the time to visit Pleasant Creek West Virginia only to find the lake mostly drained. The only thing I could imagine was that the Tygart River Dam had been fully open and drained the back side of the Tygart Lake. Pleasant Creek, although not a state park is a wildlife management area and includes boating, skiing, swimming, fishing, gun ranges, and more. This little area is a local favorite for fishing and swimming.  If you are driving down RT119 and come to the Taylor County Barbour County line turn into the Pleasant Creek area for a nice little day trip if you'd like a picnic and swimming with the family. All are welcome to visit this little beach and I recommend it. I think I'd rather visit on a weekday as it can be very busy on hot weekends.  In the video I show you the entire lake and how low the water levels are. From where I am standing you can see the parking area and the beach area. Hope you enjoy the video and please subscribe to the channel and the blog. 

Coleman Pop up Camper Review and Tour

Image
  Hello readers, this episode is more of a special than anything. In this video I beg you to watch in its entirety I go over hauling, the wiring harness for lights, a complete guide to the outside of your pop up camper, and a thorough inside tour. This is a must see for anyone looking to buy a pop up camper or recent new owners who need the help. If you are a new owner congratulations.  We are still slowly getting ready to head out next month on our adventure. As of today we are feeling confident that we are almost ready. We recently purchased a 1994 Ford Explorer to pull our new RV home and have gotten it all legal. We also purchased a wiring harness to get the lights on the camper running, and I installed it. This is shown on the video. We also purchased a few decoration items to have inside our camper to make it a bit more ours.  The trips we have planned are going to be both education and fun for our viewers. We plan on visiting historical sites and fun sites to show on our channel

This park is an overnight camping park and boasts a boardwalk under the cave ledges that overhang the river that flows through the park. The park also has playgrounds and picnic areas as well. This is the perfect place to hang out for a day and enjoy the beautiful scenery and awesome views from the boardwalk or aka cave trail. You could also spend the night and walk the boardwalk early morning for some cool temps and sunrise views. This video features a walk through the caves and views of the river.  Check out the video above and please subscribe to the channel and blog for weekly adventures.

Depression and Bipolar

Image
 I know I’ve mentioned in the past that I suffer form bipolar disorder. Well, I created a short video about the feelings of worthlessness and depression that come along with this illness. The video shares some of my own insights on how I feel and how I cope. Learning tho accept the gifts we as human beings have to share with the world is a start to recovery. I know there is no cure for bipolar disorder but there is treatment and medicine to help learn how to handle the stress. In this video we can see a small change in how I feel as the time progresses.  By simply going to work and being a husband and father I have self worth. By accepting that I am a  videographer and photographer, and that I can write and draw I have talents. These things give me self worth and a reason to be here and enjoy life. I can create things for others like drawings, poems, short stories, videos, and capture memories on digital formats to keep for a lifetime. I am someone. I am a human being with emotions and

RV Life Episode Two Tygart Lake State Park West Virginia

Image
This week we visited Tygart Lake State Park located in Grafton WV. This park has some beautiful sights and sounds. We saw one of the largest dams on the east coast as well as used some playground equipment to make us feel young again. The park boasts a 10 room lodge complete with a cafĂ© and gift shop, a marina where you can store your boat or rent one, a beach area for swimming, multiple play areas, and a wildlife center. The lake itself is 1760 acres of water with 391 extra acres of shoreline and park area.  The campground is an astounding 30 lot campground with 10 lots complete with water and electric. The park also hosts multiple cabins for those who wish to shower and watch satellite TV while camping in comfort. With all of this who would want to leave after their maximum fourteen-day stay. Tygart Lake State Park is truly one of the best state parks in West Virginia. Visit this park soon, and you won’t be let down.
