Very clear 1st videos Jim & Daniel, Daniel I don't recall ever hearing your voice before on a video.

Thanks Bruce, for the kind words.

That video may have been the first one I ever uploaded to YouTube, but I think I took several videos of that engine a day or three earlier, and that was likely the third or fourth try. A couple of the other videos I took that same day didn't get loaded onto YouTube until a few days later, the reason being my internet connection takes over an hour to upload each minute of video, and any little glitch kills the whole deal and then it needs to be started over. So, this video being the shortest one, I uploaded it first as a trial, after failing a couple of times trying to upload the longer one.

As for my voice appearing on videos, there are several that have it, sad to say, so if you want to hear me at my worst, check my YouTube archives!

Meanwhile, here is that longer video of the same engine, that I think is actually the first one that I took and tried to upload, but failed, so went to the shorter one to find my first successful upload:
