Syncronized Dog Bed Washing
In an amazing feat of technological mastery, I was able to get two "3-load" commercial washing machines synchronized so that they would cycle at the same time. This took years of study and training. It was only after I learned the secret of putting in the first 12 quarters in each machine, and then putting the final, 13th, quarter in at the same time in both, that I was able to finally pull off this wonder of the modern age.
This video was shot at the "Washing Machine" laundromat at the cover of Ximeno and 4th Street in Long Beach, California, on Monday, Sept. 6, 2021 (Labor Day), while washing the dog beds, which are too big for our washer at home.

Tohatsu 9.8 - runs good!
Переглядів 393 роки тому
My buddy Yon gave me his "old" Tohatsu 9.8 outboard, and I did some minor repairs which took a couple months to figure out, and then fired that sucker up on the back of my Cal 25 sailboat, which sits on a trailer in a dry-storage yard. This video is after I had put the boat in the water and ran it and the 9.8 was plenty of engine for the boat. Yes! I have the cover off because I was screwing ar...
Russ Has Nothing to Say

I bought a web camera. I have a UA-cam Channel. That must mean that everybody wants to pay attention to me and hear whatever I have to say, right?
Lobster Bay Overlook - Catalina Island
Переглядів 955 років тому
A quick panorama from the Lobster Bay overlook above the Isthmus of Catalina Island, in California. A bit shaky because it is hand-held and a long fall to the water if one were to slip. Taken on Sunday, June 30, 2019. I had sailed over on Yon's boat and were were moored in Isthmus Cove for the weekend.

People on the Train on Their Phones
Переглядів 1846 років тому
A short, mostly-pointless video of three people sitting on the Blue Line, southbound, one evening in February 2018. I was struck by them sitting there, together, but also separate, sharing a close urban experience by escaping off into his or her own electronic device. So, what did I do? I whipped out my device and started playing with it as well. Money see, monkey do. It is not a very good vide...
Rigging a 5.7 meter G-Cat catamaran
Переглядів 1,7 тис.7 років тому
Video shot as "notes" while I showed the new owners how to rig my 5.7 meter G-Cat catamaran. These are not complete, and there are other quirks of the boat that are not covered. This was shot on September 17, 2017, at the Alamitos Bay Yacht Club in Long Beach, California. The boat was built in 1980, and is a cool vessel.
Seagull Bombs Catamaran - the Aftermath
Переглядів 327 років тому
Short video of the aftermath of what appears to be a concerted effort by one very-determined sea bird, or maybe several of them, to poop on this one, specific catamaran sailboat in the yard at the Alamitos Bay Yacht Club, in Long Beach, California. Filmed on Saturday, September 17, 2017, on an iPhone 4, this gruesome footage is unedited so as to bear witness to the absolute carnage at the scene...
Blue Line Not Moving - Lost Signaling on Track
Переглядів 1397 років тому
Short video of the train operator's explanation why the Blue Line was not moving southbound in the evening of August 31, 2017, after the tracks lost signaling (which sounds like it means the power went out it was very hot, and there were power outages that day). The train operator did her best to keep people apprised, which was appreciated.
Deer Springs Trail to Suicide Rocks
Переглядів 897 років тому
A video of my hike to the top of Suicide Rock, near Idyllwild, California, via the Deer Springs Trail to the Suicide Rock Trail, on June 19, 2017. The weird look is from using the UA-cam anti-vibration editing tool to address some pretty-bad camera shaking (I was hand-holding a GoPro). It looks better than without the anti-shake. It was hot, about 95 degrees, when I started at about 1:00 p.m., ...

Very nice. I need to get one.
Looking forward to doing the same this summer...great video
Do you know where I could find a in-depth video on how to rig a g cat?
I have kayaked Alamitos Bay for years. If you're looking for more places to kayak, check out this paddler's guide. www.kayakandcanoeguidebooks.com/order.htm 😍😍😍😍
Is it a 5.7 m?
Okay, it is a year late, but, yes, it is a 5.7 meter G-Cat. I no longer own it. I am 61 years old and have moved on to a Cal 25 (my second - I had one 25 years ago). --Russ
Not sure if you've flipped this or not, is it very difficult to right or is a righting bag/pole necessary to right it? I'm considering getting a G Cat.
I am Matteson Wright (previous commenter and current owner of this boat). We flipped it yesterday and it was very easy to right with two people. I haven't tried it yet alone. Will write back!
Sorry the reply is so tardy - I never flipped this boat. My friend had the same boat, a 5.7 meter G-Cat 30 years ago, and we could flip it back over without too much trouble. I no longer have this boat, and one of the reasons is that I realized I would have trouble getting it back over, especially in the ocean. I am 61 now, and would need another fairly large male to have enough heft to bring the boat back upright, even in flat water. I did seal the mast so that it would float if the flipped, which should be standard procedure if you have a beach cat.
@@russellcole3549 What do you recommend for sealing the mast?
Great video!! I own this beautiful boat now, awesome to see her in action!
You own the boat? This very boat? Cool! Drop by the Alamitos Bay Yacht Club some time and we'll buy you a beer. --Russ
Don’t stand on the left side of an escalator!
Where is the parking lot located at
Ocean blvd.... Cross street Bay Shore. Get there early bring quarters for meters
@@KayakingCalifornia do you have to pay to kayak even tho I have my own equipment? What are the rules for where I can and can't go? Or there aren't any? I been wanting to kayak down the canals but I been unsure if I would get introuble
No, you don't have to pay. I launched from Alamitos Bay Yacht Club. However, there is an easy (except maybe parking) public entry by the beach on Ocean Blvd. just past Bayshore. It is where the Leeward Sailing Center and Gondola Getaway are located. It is free, and has fresh water and racks so you can rinse off your boat or board.
Great video. It was a smart move by Los Angeles, Long Beach & the suburbs of Compton, Pasadena,El Monte, Azusa to build the metro light rail system & have Metrolink commuter trains. It’s better to use the Metro system, Metrolink & Amtrak than it is to drive on the San Bernardino, Hollywood,Garden Grove & The 405 parking lots.
I love this video!
I posted a ringtone of the door chime in the instant buttons app
usually at night u do see people sleeping on the blue line thats about it or playing music super loud
not one fight or argument that is a miracle didnt see anyone selling anything either.
How long does this route take? What time does it start?
The train runs 24hrs
Can't believe I just watched Russ's cute cat video
Wonderful videos! It would nice to see some Green, Gold, Red, Purple and Expo videos soon.
Great editing! Really enjoyed the immersive experience that other train videos don't have. Looking forward to more!
I've seen homeless sleeping in an elevator before. As far as homeless sleeping in the subway stations, on Market Street in San Francisco it's pretty bad. In Los Angeles, not that common.
...I enjoyed the urban adventure. Somewhat visceral. Just a quick tip, perhaps when filming in public, put a piece of black tape over the flashing red LED indicator, you'd get less reaction from the suspicious sorts.
Thanks for the ride.....Dan
…great videography Russ. I am happy/proud/excited to become a subscriber.
Nice.
Fun adventure through part of the island I've never been on. Enjoyed the trip.....Dan
Way to go.....looks like fun to me....Dan
