The next thing I'm working on will be for a little bit of fun I think. Made a plan a while back to drag my camcorder outside with my microphone and a laptop and see what kind of hang time I can do on a weekend morning on stream. 

The idea I think will be to set up the laptop with OBS and voicemeeter, which is already done, then set up a new scene for sitting outside. I think the camera pointed at me towards the house should be fine, but it'll also be on a tripod so i can move it around and point it out or at the fire or a bug or something as needed. I dont think anyone will be coming outside while I'm out there but I think I will let everyone know and remind them the night before so they aren't surprised. 

I've got a USB HDMI capture from avermedia that I've used int he past to connect the camera to, but first I'll need to connect the camera output to the Composite/HDMI upscaler, which I do want to replace eventually. It'll get sound form there but I'll just mute that. I've got my microphone and interface ready to connect, and once those two things are on there all I need to do is figure out what to do while im outside. I think I'll have roska in a call with me so we can do music requests, and then probably play some marbles or something i guess. Maybe. I actually dont know how well that laptop will run that for a stream. Also i guess I should probably mention the ethernet connection back into the house, since I'll just be using a super long cable for that. 

 In theory that should all work out just fine. 

Past that I dont have many project or plans. Working extra has been terrible but hopefully the boy gets himself a job soon and i can lay off a little and take a break. I have to keep reminding myself that the job market sucks right now and that he's trying as hard as he can, even though it doesnt really look like it. He does odd jobs for my mom to keep busy and keeps up around here when we ask., so i cant really complain too much. It could always be worse. 

Might need to think of a new project.
