I know...and sometimes if he's feeling really sorry for the fat kid sitting in his smart all alone, he'll even talk to me.

Hey, y'all, hate to burst your bubble, I didn't even go to the prom. At that time in my life I shunned such establishment crap.

Whaddaya mean BBB? Here, all along, I thought you were the lady's man.

That's right, one lady though. I think I told ya back in April while we were eating dinner that I've been married to her longer than a lot of murders have served time in prison and then been released.

Oh, yeah, BBB, I had a brain fart there. But, you can't deny that if you weren't married you'd still be driving the ladies crazy.

Video of the event has been posted on YouTube.
If you'd like, you may download the original file posted, by right clicking here, and selecting Save Target As or Save Link As in the dropdown menu. I was forced to use my backup camera because I failed to have #1's battery charged for the event. So, only 720i. The file is 237 MB.

Great quality!

You made it sound like a negative thing!

I like the video, the ultralight plane, the cabrio, the ocean...everything...

The photographer's car should've joined in!

Thanks Neon. But, everything is relative. That's only DVD quality. My good camera does 1920x1080. Anyway you cut it, that's 6x as many pixels.

And, why does YouTube display it with bars all the way around, but with an HQ button??

Nice video NCC. Normally only people of the cloth refer to me as "The Devil".

wdhitch - I sold my place in Navarre 3 years ago. Bad spot to own property during a hurricane.

That's a valid question... My camcorder has resolution that's about equal or a tad higher to yours and coupled with my horrid video editor (Mediashow) and YouTube the quality just gets butchered aswell as framerate.

That's mainly the reason why all of my Train Simulator and GTA videos end up with lag on YT.

Every good home has a downside. Whether it be in Tornado Alley, cut off in the winter (Alaskan towns), or the first to get hit by a hurricane.

Although, you could live on the shores of the Great Lakes and not have too much to worry about...
