Installed Black Box dashcam.



Pretty lame day though. Being late in the morning (due to early meeting with client), lots of construction work, lots of cars, cyclists out. But... being out there on a "bad run day" is better than being cooped up inside working.

A couple of things I noticed:

- Didn't bother with adjusting settings on cam. Date and time are off so ignore.

- Dumb a$$ me shut the sound recording off inadvertently at some point while changing cam angle. There goes a wasted 5GB tossed in the trash.

- The YouTube video quality is horrible compared to the actual .mp4 file viewed on my computer. Should have uploaded in higher rez but oh well.

- Having the cam made me sloppy. Not paying attention to my driving as I should due to being self concious with cam on (and you can probably hear a couple of "ooops, wrong gear" segments). When I forget about it being there, all will return to normal.

- Due to the amount of traffic (visible in the vid), I even held speed down. Fastest segment was probably no more than 65 tops with corners at max 50 or so.

But overall, new dimension of fun.


Disclaimer: Speeds were all legal WHERE POSTED. Full road usage only where visibility allowed line of sight well beyond the curve(s). And yes, I went slow on the return route where I KNEW there were cyclists who had passed me going the opposite direction earlier.

Why did you remove it? I noticed mine is looking really dirty and has surface rust. I don't like that. Makes me feel ashamed.
