Since I own the iPhone 12 Pro Max with 512GB of ass kicking ram I thought I’d give a whirl at using a three axis gimbal. I decided to go with the DJI OSMO 4 model based on the various online reviews that it could handle the size and weight of Apples monster device.
One disadvantage of using the Pro Max is the fact using a case with the gimbal takes the OSMO4 to the limits. This goes against my grain of always having my devices in a protected case. I do have a screen protector but the way the magnetic phone holder secures the iPhone is very sketchy. The magnetic attachment between the holder and mounting bracket seems to be robust but the extension “arms” seem to barely grab the sharp cornered iPhone 12 model. It almost seems to be designed for the iPhone 11 smooth cornered models.
It’s going to be a big day at the Manetarium. We are getting together with the design team and ha I’ll be installing the wireless air ride controller. This will be the first time designed hardware will be put into test.
We’ve been having issues with our septic tank regarding the pump not turning on. In a normal procedure the processed water should be pumped into the leech field. When a float activates a submerged tubular pump. This wasn’t happening.

I ended up having Dave perform a complete maintenance job. It seemed to make more sense since he was already at our location and the float switch issue was resolved.
I’m waiting for the seller of the 1998 Corvette Wagon Wheels. As usual I’m hell of early and the seller calls me up to let me know he’s running late. Great.
Waiting in Vacaville CA.
I can’t even recall how many times I’ve waited for sellers or traders. I don’t think I’ve ever gone to meetup and be the person later.
After a short wait the seller called me up to let me know he was home. The wheels were as expected. Actually in better shape than I hoped. These wheels came off a 1998 C4 that the owner replaced with a different style.
For whatever reason this particular style gets no love from the C5 owners. They seem to dog the shit out of it due to the resemblance of a stagecoach wagon wheel.
One thing about living out in the country, there’s no city services so that means no local sewage main lines provided. Everything out here is based on a septic tank architecture.
The coupler between the drain pipe coming from the house and into the septic tank developed a crack caused by roots and other factors. I had to disengage the coupler so the part could be replaced. This of course meant all the clog shit was readily available for viewing and the pleasant smell.
If the sewage drain pipe that goes through the cement step walkway ever breaks I’m going to have a hell of an issue trying to fix it. I should probably provide some sort of protection on the exposed pipe.
I’m not going to bother posting the weekly graphic this time. The COVID-19 cases in our county is still steadily getting higher though the rate seems to be consistent and not spiking. We now 1807 positive cases confirmed.
This number has to be off. I can imagine there are lot of folks who probably had the virus but never went to to the hospital or got tested anywhere.
The report is the same as it has been since I’ve been recording and blogging the statistics. It’s constantly going up and for our county it doesn’t seem to be slowing down.
One good note, wifey was able to get her first dosage of the vaccine since she is in the education field. Hopefully the 2nd vaccine will be administered soon so she has the possible protection currently offered.
Earlier this week we had the forecast of snow during the early morning hours. This is a phone capture of the exciting news.
Today’s forecast for Monday is now showing cloudy day. That sucks. It hasn’t snowed since we moved up here a couple of years ago. I’ve heard from the locals that it had in the past. I’m sure it will someday.
