Ah! I knew I was doing it the hard way. Driving it from "the other end" i.e. from my computer would be a LOT easier. With that said, if it were a "real" computer, it would be far more network friendly.

Respectfully, that’s simply not true. I’ve had far more networking issues with PCs.
A "PC" can attach to a NAS or other SMB shares with zero issues. A PC has FTP built-in. Apparently, a PHOOOOOONNE cannot - at least, not that I was able to figure out. I looked for an "App" to do so since apparently the capability isn't built into the phone natively, and most of them admitted to being spyware, and even the ones that weren't were a PAIN IN THE ASS to deal with - mainly because there's no damn keyboard on the thing. I finally found something that let me setup an FTP server, and was able to retrieve the files via command line FTP on my computer where I could actually TYPE something. Damn phone is based on Linux, but they've dumbed it down to the point of un-usablity. The fact of the matter is, a smartphone isn't a PC and is thus useless as far as I'm concerned.
My wife had videoed a couple of troupe dances I was in. It was from the back of the hall, but at least she knows enough to turn the damn thing sideways!
Don't you mean mother ducker........
1. Walked into your private property
2. Left litter on your property
3. Touched your vehicle
That shit would piss me off
Things you didn't do (when and) where I grew up, unless you wanted your ass handed to you...or worse...

Whooooo boy! Now we have the bi-annual post dance show photography drama! The person responsible for the lighting managed to misplace the main lights - so a sub-optimal layout was the best that could be done. Too bright in front, too dim in back. It didn't help that a certain troupe wore fucking virginal white dresses that were completely blown out in pix and vids with the dancers in the front, while the dancers in the rear are hard to see but there is a fabulous shadow show behind and above them. Something like this happens every single damn time - either they get an idiot photographer (we've had our share) or somebody fucks up the lighting or otherwise screws things up. They wanted me to video the thing - that didn't work out well because all I could do was setup the camera and let it run. Since they insisted that I locate said camera in a bad place, they got shitty blown out videos that only show about 2/3rds of the stage. But, its a simple case of GIGO - I gave them the crap video, told them why it was crap, and I'm not doing this again as I agreed to do this against my better judgement. The previous time I videoed a show, some idiot was waving a phucking PHOOOOOONNE around in my field of view not once but twice and I had sharp words with the guy.
BUT
I'm just minorly annoyed because I didn't really have much effort into the thing. The guy that took the stills is PISSED! He's 20 hours in on post processing with lots more to do, trying to clean up the shitty lighting - he fortunately shot in RAW, which helps but isn't a panacea for bad lighting. At least it wasn't like the show about 3 years back where they were essentially dancing in the dark, and I pitched an absolute bitch about it. That show was fabulous, a Halloween show (like the current one) where everybody dresses in black and there's almost zero stage lighting.
It also isn't like a video taken at an Xmas show a few years back where the camera auto-focused on a certain dancer's navel ring and everything else was outta focus! And yes, before you ask, I was the "certain dancer"!

4 days in NYC for a family wedding. I didn’t see the appeal in my 20s and I certainly don’t see it in my 40s with a family.
$30-40 cab ride anywhere or a subway station smelling like piss
Weed covers the smell of trash in the streets
$35 for a pair of turkey sandwiches and a coke.
$50 for two drinks at the hotel bar.
Glad to be coming home to the south tomorrow.

There was a time when I would have liked to see New York City - check out "Piano Row", and all the other goodies. Now? I wouldn't set foot in that town - or state - if they were giving out free Madame Abla costumes! Pretty much like California, won't set foot in that state again either.
I knew it!!!!! I told everyone we wheeled with that Saturday you really were a true southerner and not just a damn yankee!!!!!
