I've got the cameras going up with 5 up so far, still fighting the city with trying to clean the property in town with paying $2k a week to rent an excavator since mine is down, the truck is back on order on the way, need to swap a differential out I promised then take tomorrow off to move more of the trash and put another camera up.

What's slowing me down now is chunks of concrete all up in the debris and at .75 cents a pound to dump, I'm trying to get all the concrete and steel out I can. Problem is who use to own this house (former contractor) had foot thick or thicker walls of concrete in the basement and trying to grab it, it crumbles since it was poor work.

Got a iPad on the way so I can see when the cameras trigger on showing them, ran over the last one with a semi and it didn't survive the experience.

To get a new key for the ATV I am going to have to load it up without driving it onto the back of the 5 ton, drive it to town past their house so they can program the key to the ECU. Thinking about putting a tarp over it to not give them the satisfaction of seeing what is going on.

I like the idea of a compound, razor wire and electrified to fry them...
They could always have an accident during hunting season... unmarked unknown no serial number never to be found rifle...
I am not a nice person.... no more give in me for people like that.
Yeah, hungry pigs do one he// of a job if they get some blood thirst.

One of my special cameras finally came in, this thing is massive :eek: Going to paint it to blend in, but that's going to be fun to hide, thankfully it will see the threat before the threat will see it to let me know. Weights almost 20 lbs.

In other news I have redone my business cards since they first one sounded like a handyman more than a professional. I'm going to start leaning away from turning wrenches on semis and reserve my body for my own wrench turning and work so I'm going to advertise mostly for running my equipment.
Any advice is appreciated on these:D

Woah! That's some camera!! Painting could be interesting. Have you thought of using a cam arm sleeve (check Amazon)?
Nice work on the business card.
Thanks,
I've had luck on painting the ones I got so far, painters tape over the lens then just spray away. They take paint quiet well surprisingly. Thing looks like a spy plane belly camera almost on it's size 😂
I avoid Amazon like the plague.

Too funny on the size even with the tool for perspective. As for the arm sleeve - you get my drift, lots of places have them.

Yeah I get it, just never heard of them before for cameras. Would be afraid the sun would bake it to dry rotting then bugs make it a home. I could always vinyl wrap it, take it to a pro in town to do it that way.
