Obsessive hobbies....

[RCHeliGuy]

More upgrades. I decided I wasn't happy with the video and latency coming out of the HDMI to USB converter from my Panasonic 4K camcorder, so I got a higher end webcam and I'm pretty happy with it. I tweaked my lighting, and put up a backdrop and I think I'm finally ready for the podcast tomorrow.

Hopefully it will be a lot of fun! Fingers crossed!

While not obsessive, my passion for sporting clay shooting usually runs me anywhere from 500 to 800 rounds a month. So this now looks like alot of fun !!

Wow, that works well. Drones are a huge part of war now. Drones for on land are being developed too. Some are already used to carry heavy equipment.

I’m thinking 500 to 800 rounds a month IS obsessive!

993 winter project.. replacing suspension and related bits, luckily the power steering rack started leaking right before bringing it in, so that's getting rebuilt. Amazing that the car rides as nice as it does on 30 yo/ 150K parts.

Best garage upgrade was a minisplit unit. Especially with this winter!

It's a 1995 Carrera Cabriolet I have had 25 years. It's a great all around car and checks off so many boxes for fun but is not crazy exotic to maintain.

For those who were curious how the podcast came out, here it is.

It starts a bit slow, but builds steam as it goes.

Robert I assume it's a non-turbo ? have you had any IMS issues to date ?

The turbos have their share of problems too. My 997 is turbo, same Metzger engine. The coolant pipes in the engine bay can come lose and fracture. You have to have them pinned. Another thing, the camshafts can get messed up. Mine did. Both jobs you have to drop the entire engine and transmission. Its an expensive fix. The camshafts have a sleeve that slides on them, and it can get stuck in a position. We mailed them out to California from Ohio to get pinned so they wont move. Porsche never fixed that issue, and if you get new camshafts, they will have the same dang design.
