Limited skills and vanishing memory.
Another beautiful Fall day today, high temperatures in the low 70s, nighttime temperatures in the 50s.... I couldn't ask for better.
I'm still fooling around with the wires in the Lance camper. I've got my laptops and their peripherals running directly off the batteries, including some wiring that I had to cut off the male cigarette lighter plug and wire directly to the batteries. Now I'm mostly trying to route the wires out of my way and experiment with my laptops to see how fast they charge, and with my 18-inch Asus laptop, how much power it has when running through its nonstandard USB-C charging port.
And speaking of power. I've always used Da Vinci Resolve for video editing; it can do almost anything you would want to do with video, but since I don't make many videos anymore, and when I do, I try to keep it as simple and easy as possible. I'm finding I don't need all the movie magic Da Vinci Resolve can do, and the learning curve is so steep that I forget how to use much of it when I make another video a few months later.
To solve this problem, I've been looking at other, far simpler video editing software to find something more in line with my limited skills and vanishing memory, figuring that I would be more likely to make videos of my travels if it wasn't so difficult and time-consuming to make something I wasn't embarrassed of.
Fortunately, there's a lot of video editing software out there, ranging from free to outrageously expensive, and almost all of it comes with a free trial so you can test it out for a week or two. So that's my plan, and hopefully I can figure it all out before I leave for my winter travels.

Anyone who’s had mice in their camper will recognize this. I had mice in the Arctic Fox two or three times. But so far, the Lance has remained mouse-free. The mice probably look at me living in here and figure there's no room in here for them.
This is the main highway I take to the mountains. There's a school on the right-hand side of the picture and a large parking lot on the left-hand side. The kids who drive to school have to cross this bridge to get to class.
The Pueblo Indians, also called "the ancient people," built these towns a couple of thousand years ago, slightly before I was born, and they somewhat resemble a castle, and they built them for the same reason a castle is built... To protect the people who live there. Many Indian tribes were constantly at war with other tribes, so they built stone houses that couldn't be burned down. This town is protected from above, on both sides, and by a steep climb from below, where the enemy would be met with a shower of boulders raining down on them. I've visited this area two or three times and always find it very interesting.
