OnlyFire Rotisserie for Weber Genesis Four-burner Grills | Product Review
This video provides a review of Only Fire’s Rotisserie Kit for Weber Genesis four-burner grills. I decided to make this video because when I was shopping for this product, it seemed like the information available about it was somewhat scarce. The reviews on Amazon, for example, seemed to be somewhat mixed. So I was a little bit hesitant about getting it. But I went ahead and got it as it was half the price of the comparable Weber offering. After purchasing, I have been very pleased with how well it works on my Weber Genesis S435. I made this video to provide the information that I thought was somewhat lacking. The video shows details on what it is like to use this rotisserie in a few different cooking scenarios. I hope you enjoy, 'like', and share! And I encourage you to ask questions and/or provide comments below.

After 34 wonderful years, I am retiring from IBM. To help me say “Good-bye” to IBM, I put together a short video that follows the format of the David Letterman “Top Ten List” routine. In the video I present the 'Top Ten Reasons Why I am Retiring from IBM’.
Virginia Creeper Trail: Biking all 34 Miles in 1 Day
Переглядів 13 тис.2 роки тому
We loved our recent trip to Damascus, VA and the Virginia Creeper Trail. This video shows highlights from our one-day bike ride covering the entire Creeper Trail from the White Top Station area to Abingdon, VA. We start off on the popular 17-mile, all-downhill portion of the trail that goes from White Top to Damascus. Then from Damascus, we biked over the remaining 16 miles of the trail to Abin...

Nice area.

I love this video - so wonderful!! Working with you 20+ years ago was an awesome experience. Your humor kept me sane and I love to see that you're leaving on your terms.
Hey Angela, so great to hear from you! ♥ Hope you are doing well. It was great working with you too. Thanks for watching the video and for your kind words. 😀
Hi Randy, it's Youn! Came across this video from your LinkedIn post. It's hilarious- you should think about hosting your own talk show! Looking back on my days at IBM, one of the best parts was working with people like you who had been around for years with the company, immersed in the culture and growing with the company. I found later that this is harder than I thought and harder to find elsewhere these days. I had a great time working with you on the w3 project. Wishing you all the best in your upcoming days. Keep us posted in this channel.
I'm just using a fake user name to hide myself to make bad comments here and there haha. but yep this is Youn :)
Hey Youn, so good to hear from you! ♥And thanks for watching the video and your kind words about it. It was a lot of fun to make and I will be making more videos now. I have fond memories of working with you as well. You are good! A very talented UX Designer and general UX Specialist in general! I am sure you are doing well in your current position. Let's definitely keep in touch!
@Gftrtyhikkoijhvg Whaaaa-aaaat? A fake user name? No one has ever done that before! 😆 Just kidding of course. I have a fake name as well that I use for just those kind of circumstances. 😀
Randy, what a great way to capture your retirement. Congratulations! I can't stop thinking about those Slacks from "Payne Diaz." 🙂
Sandy, thanks for watching the video and your kind words! And yes, had it not been for that Payne Diaz, I might have stuck around a little longer. 😃
Great job Randy! This was hilarious! Esp love the IBM fans in the audience! And congratulations!!!!
(This is Lisa btw!)
Lisa, thanks for watching and for the kind words! Of course there were IBM fans in the audience! 😃
That was awesome, Randy! Congratulations and enjoy your time off. Circle back with me if you ever find out if that coin is solid gold!
Laura, thanks for watching and for the kind words! Glad you honed in on the Challenge Coin. That is something you and I can both relate to! 😃

Amazing! I try to ride this several times a year! One of my favorites! Great video. Loved it 😊
Alright! A fellow Creeper Trail enthusiast! 👍 😃. I rode the entire trail again 2 more times this year. It was great as always. Especially with the fall colors in mid-October. Thanks for watching, and thanks also for kind words!
So many safe and respectful biking rules broken during this video. Share the trail. Don't assume you are the only ones using it. Amazed no one got hurt.
Thanks for watching our video! Interesting that you feel like we are breaking safety rules in this video. I feel like we were being very safe. I do think it is quite possible that the video masks over how safe we generally are. For one thing, some of the video scenes are sped up for effect. For another, the actual sound is often overshadowed by music or narration. For example, the video does not show us shouting “Hello, on your left!!” and waiting for acknowledgement as we approach and pass others. Perhaps you are seeing issues that are not really there?
Plan to go in the fall
Yes, good plan. It is supposed to be beautiful when the leaves are changing colors. I, and the same crew in this video, plan to make a return visit this Fall as well. Thanks for watching!
I loved this video for the mini history lesson, fun old-timey explorer music, smiling friends, and maps with pedaling-difficulty-expectations. Most of all I loved the grandpa-esque geeky narration. ❤ This little video made me want to strap on my bike helmet and hop on the Virginia Creeper Trail! Thank you Randy
Hey Kathy, thanks so much for your very nice comments about this video! 😀 You made my day! 🤗 I had a lot of fun making this video and you picked up on a lot of the nuances that I am proud of. Best of all, you are now interested in experiencing the Creeper Trail yourself. Best complement of all! ♥, Randy
Well done! That was a good video!! I’m going on the Creeper Trail next weekend. Your video was very informative and I think I’m going to do the 34 mile bike ride. I had no idea that was an option. Thanks!
Thanks for watching and for your nice comments! 👍 Hope you have a great trip next weekend. And hope you do the whole 34. It is a great feeling of accomplishment! 💪 😃
Which half of the trail did you enjoy the most question? And which half has the best scenery? Also, do you know of a shuttle from abington to whitetop? I'm thinking of doing it in one day, but how do you get back. 😊
Thanks for watching our video! As pointed out in the video, the first half from Whitetop to Damascus is more popular as it is all downhill. It is a little more woodsy and nature-esque as well. But the second half from Damascus to Abingdon has nice, rolling farmland and the long trestle bridge over the scenic Holston River. And you get more exercise riding the 2nd half as well. 💪 Personally, I do not have a preference as I liked both halves for different reasons. 😀 Riding all 34 miles if you can is definitely the best way to get the full experience. And if you are doing that, staying in Abingdon the night before makes good sense. I believe Abingdon has a little bit more to do than Damascus with respect to restaurants and things to see. Also, I believe it is straightforward to rent bikes and get a shuttle to Whitetop from Abingdon. E.g., vacreepertrailbikeshop.com/trail.html . And here is a site with more general info and lots of links to more stuff including lodging options: visitabingdonvirginia.com/. Hope you do plan a trip and ride the trail. It is a great, inexpensive vacation activity!
@@randycraig978 Great, thank you so much! Definitely planning a trip.
It's more fun if you ascend then reward yourself with the descension.
I am sure you are right about that! I would love to try that sometime. Thanks for watching our video.
Love how you change the music to match the mood of the trail. Might just put the VCT on my bucket list!
Thanks for watching Alison, and for the kind words! 😀 And yes, I had a lot of fun lining up background music for this. 🎵 Hope you do get there someday. It's a great, inexpensive vacation activity.
AHHH how did I miss the Christmas tree farm?! I will have to be on better lookout for that next time!!
😀The Christmas trees are pretty cool. Thanks for watching our video!
Nice vid. See many e-bikes on the trail?
Thanks! Glad you liked our video. And I do remember seeing a few e-bikes. This would be a great trail for that. Especially if you were riding the 17 miles uphill from Damascus to Whitetop. Also, I ran across another Creeper video from someone who was on an e-bike. Search for "RIDING THE CREEPER TRAIL ON MY LECTRIC XP!!". Looks like fun!
I was lucky enough to get to ride from Abingdon to the top and back down in 1 day using a mountain bike, in 2001. Still have the bike and the memory of a great ride ! Great work on your presentation !
Interesting Steve! Would love to know if you see changes since your ride in 2001. Thanks for watching, and thanks for the nice comments!
@@randycraig978 there doesn't appear to be as many gates to stop at and open as before. And the new bridge too ! That's all I could see different
OK, interesting. Thanks for following up on that Steve.
Is there a shuttle to take you back to Damascus at the end?
Yes, the same shuttle service picked us up in Abingdon and returned us to Damascus. I should have included that in the video. The shuttle service I am talking about is 'Adventure Damascus'. You can read about their various options on this page: www.adventuredamascus.com/creeper_trail_bike_rental.HTM. Note that the "The Full Double Dog Combo Package" option is the one that includes both a ride from Damascus to Whitetop in the morning, and a ride from Abingdon back to Damascus in the afternoon.
@@randycraig978 Super helpful! Thank you Randy. I’m going in June on my birthday and very excited!
Thanks Sandra! And I hope you have a great trip!
I love how you explain so much about the details of taking the trip if we want to follow. I also like how you made your trip into a story. Great video. Thank you.
Thanks for watching and for your nice comments! It’s a great trail and I highly recommend it. 👍 😃
Wow-Looks like a fun day! I bet when the Fall leaves are changing it would be even more stunning! Good job Karen and Randy for finishing the ride!
Thanks Stacey! And yes, I have seen pictures of this area in the fall. It really does look great. We have already considered that our next trip to this area would be during the time when leaves are changing colors. 🙂
Looks like fun!
Great job Randy!
