Here is Part 1 of Round 4 of my Every Inch CHSR construction series. It starts at the south end of CP4 near Shafter and ends at Deer Creek Viaduct.
First, I want to say that I decided not to make a voice over for this one. I tried. You never know how much a room echoes until you record yourself and then play it back. It sounded like I was recording in a toilet stall of a huge men's restroom! I'm going to have to make myself a little recording booth or something. Maybe I'll figure it out by the next round.
Even though there have not been a lot of changes in CP4, I wanted to start this one all the way back at mile 1. Now that I have a new computer, I am now shooting, editing, rendering, and uploading in 4K. They are starting the orchard removal for the railhead near Shafter. I still did a side-by-side at the Kern Irrigation District canal realignment even though the only thing that has changed is the color of the grass :)
There has been a lot of earth work between Allensworth and Deer Creek. Also, there is a lot of new concrete in the air on the Deer Creek Viaduct.
If you didn't know, I crashed my drone a few weeks ago. It took a long time to get another one through the DGI Care replacement plan. It was taking too long and I went over to Costco to buy a second drone of the same make and model. The replacement finally came and I now own two of the same exact drone. Also, two controllers, two more batteries, and more spare props. I also bought a second case and a new Zoom H1 Essential field microphone :)
My first direct deposit from the YouTube Partner Program should be coming in a couple days. The "pay period" ends around the 12th of every month and the deposit happens around the 22nd of every month. My first check with the Super Thanks and the AdSense will be about $181. Not bad for my first check, just taking my hobby a little more seriously. It only goes up from here (hopefully hehe)
