Not sure what I want to do for now I setup a new domain to separate PilotOdyssey.com from my travel site, not much to see
https://k-research.net/KR/index.phpI named it K-Research to get the ball rolling I will/can change the address later on, theme of the site will be
Where Where You simply because over the years after sharing details of my trips with friends, family co workers and seeing their excitement knowing they really wished they could have went I always say 'yeah where were you' as they watch videos and scan through images.
Like I said no real web page yet just forums
I need to create a YouTube channel for video's I will also setup Rumble and Odsee accounts for backups maybe even a Bitchute account, just need a video hosting site, I need to research building a YouTube site if anyone has suggestions please share.
Create a Facebook account, I really doubt it at this point, these past few years its clear to me Facebook is a Communist run organization, those who really know me know I kowtow to no one especially those who refuse to respect Americas 1st amendment rights to free speech, in the early days of Facebook I had an account right up to the point where they gave me a ultimatum tie it to a cell phone so we can track and spy on you 24/7 then sell all the data we collect about you or were locking your account. I left never looked back. I was the first and original "Rusty Shackelford" on Facebook yeah like on family guy...
Same thing with Twitter, I really liked Twitter right up until they deleted my account along with thousands of others, it was the same day date and time they deleted Trump's account, this sent a big message to me, they decided well in advance who lives and who dies.
Twitter plotted against my free speech, I assume they made the decision going by all the users I had "Blocked" over the years, that was the think I loved about Twitter my rights to free speech were granted by use of the Block feature, users come across someone who annoys them you simply block that user and never see anything they say or do forever, no need to run crying to a moderator, no need for confrontation, it is a brilliant setup, just block them as if they never existed, once blocked even if you searched for that username you never found it, clearly my block list did not align with Twitters agendas.
Tempted to go back to Twitter create another account only use it for "Where Were You" and to promote travel but at this point in today's world I its a hard pill to swallow.
So if you have any suggestions for other social media networks to draw attention to or to promote Where Were You please share.
Anyone experienced with video production editing, I have a ton of video that needs edited, NOTE I run Linux Mint its based on Ubuntu so only run Open Source video editors. FYI I haven't supported Microsoft OS since Windows 2000
Gotta figure out my story telling skills and how to narrate, wonder if Mike Row would want to help lol
I need to start planning future projects and trips, already thinking about a trip this spring or summer (before it gets too hot) to the Dakotas, Wyoming, Utah.
I will be taking my 84 year old mother with me in the RV we did this family trip when I was a kid, about 45 years ago, she's getting old wants to do it again etc. I do not picture her bouncing around in my RZR for a few thousand miles so need a plan B .
Plan B
I have to VW Bugs that have not been run in about 10 years, was thinking about dragging them out of the weeds and getting them both running again pick the best one and flat towing it behind the RV then just do most the sight seeing from the Bug, they are off-road capable but I am thinking primitive roads, dirt roads, gravel roads at the worse.
Anyone who has driven a VW Bug can tell you how fun they are, you find yourself laughing having a good time all the time, my brothers first car was a VW Bug, my sons first car was one of the VW Bugs I have.
While in the bug I will scope out the popular side by side trails for a future trip, I have a close friend who is a Harley Queer who trailers his Harley to Sturgis every year so was thinking I'll take the side by side at the same time he can spend a week with me on the trails after doing the biker homo thing before and returning home, NOTE he just purchased a 2022 4 seat Ranger 1000 I am trying to motivate him into taking more long distance trips now were both retired.
Growing up one of my neighbors was a 'Biker Dude' hard core, built all his own bikes from raw materials, had a shop in his backyard, made tons of cash supporting his biker habit by repairing, rebuilding modifying others bikes throughout the late 60's - early 90's, he could fix anything mechanical, he taught me a lot as a kid about engines and repairing them.
Neighbor Rick and his biker chic wife rode to Sturgis and back every year on a hard tail HD chopper, old school, slept in a tent, no saddle bags just a back pack.
