It is now around 99.9999% complete, with a few final tweaks, before I am ready to release it. I needed to wait for a time when I couldn't work outside, or in the evening, when my parents were out and I was alone in the house, which occurred once every several weeks, to over a month apart. But now, I can finish off things at night, when my parents go to bed, since the critical part is done. :)

But, while I have still yet to release the final submergence sink of 2012, I have been extremely busy doing work on my brother's farm and ours, which has prevented me from doing any biking. It is a shame, because the weather went from having frosts last week to now having temperatures here in southern BC soaring up into the mid to high 20's to low 30's (high 70's to the mid to upper 80's), which is supposed to last to the next weekend! My Harris Creek silt slide area is just waiting for me to sink into the quicksilt, in front of a camera, and I am unable to take advantage of the summerlike conditions yet! :( I am also waiting for a sore right knee to improve as well, and need to do some shorter biking locally to get back into shape.

But, hopefully, it won't be too long before I finally post last year's video. It was a good thing I posted the others first, since I had a feeling that it would take a while to get done, but wound up taking substantially longer than I anticipated! I thought that it would be finished last October! :shock:

Stay tuned.
I sink, therefore I WAM!!!!

Great video's boggy, so what's the hold up on the "99.99999%" complete video? I wouldn't exactly know your time and schedules be more or less new.

I made a rather stupid error by mentioning how close I was to finishing it. I jinxed it by making that comment! :x When I finally went to export it, after waiting around 45 minutes for it to complete, there was no resulting .mp4 file! :x Other times, iMovie would just "quit unexpectedly" just minutes before it was supposed to have finished exporting it! :x Rebooting the computer resulted in a file with a name "icm_multipass......." appearing in the trash bin (leftovers from the failed export from iMovie). It took me several weeks of troubleshooting, but I finally got it to save (but one time it works, another time it doesn't, another time it does work again...). I am thinking of adding more memory to my computer, since 4 GB seems rather small nowadays, and extra RAM would likely solve the problems. However, after checking out one of the files I did save, I discovered that there is a minor issue with the audio which I have to correct, and I need to compress it to a smaller size as well (1.6 GB was a bit too hefty, 579.7 MB is better, but I think I can still compress it a little more without much quality loss). I am even tempted to try and see if I can pass it through VLC for further image processing to create a file with a sharper picture, but I will probably just leave it as is after I make my audio correction. Much of the work has to be done while my parents aren't home during an evening, and my next opportunity to work on it would be this coming Friday evening. Cross your fingers! :roll:

But, the way things are going, I might wind up posting new 2013 video(s) here before that one (I am hoping for my first outing FINALLY within the next week).

Sorry, but my video of my sink in the peak of the muddy conditions of 2012 still isn't ready. :( My computer spent a week in the shop because of permissions problems that wouldn't go away during a routine tune-up (technician had to re-install the operating system to solve it). Hopefully, my exporting problems will be gone now. But, in the meantime, I realized that there are just a few more final adjustments I need to make to my video to get it to where I want it before releasing it.

In the meantime, here is a video of my first sink of 2013, taken on Friday, July 19'th, to help tide you over (shot in the same place as my first peat mud sink in 2012)! Enjoy! 8-)

A hiker is walking along a stream running through a meadow. While walking through a muddy patch on the shoreline, he winds up getting more than he bargained for! :twisted: Will he escape his predicament? Watch and see!

Re: Boggy Man's Dramatic Sink Vids! Updated Aug 28'th, 2013!

On Friday, July 26'th, I had my second day of sinking of the season. This time, it was at my Crescent Road pond. Even with all the dry weather during that month, the water level was still high. But, fortunately, my sinking spot was exposed! :D However, while it was flooded earlier in the season, clods of sod that I had pushed under the surface last fall had floated back up through the loose mud, and redistributed themselves over the surface. While it cluttered up my patch of mud, it did look rather interesting. After I did my video, I tore some up, and pushed the rest under the floating mat of vegetation on the edge of the bog. However, water then ran over the surface of the mud, covering it up. :( When I got back in, the mud around me would get exposed again as I churned it. But, after exiting, the exposed mud would submerge again. It was exposed again the next time I returned, but that is another posting.

For this video, I decided to put on a junk sweater I had kept in the woods, and a pair of junk jeans which I had hid at home outside in a garbage can that is no longer in use. The jeans were very fragile and tore like paper, and I decided to work that into my story:


A man lost in the woods, wearing slightly tattered clothing, finally spots a road! :D But, there is a swampy area between him and salvation! He tries to cross the boggy area by jumping from sod clod to sod clod, or at least that was what he had hoped to do! :twisted:

The innocent-looking patch of mud in the picture below quakes, and then bubbles erupt out of it. If you thought it was swamp gas, you would be wrong! It is the escaping breath from a 6' 2" man beneath the surface of that bottomless quagmire! :shock: Before he suffocates, he makes it back up to the surface, gasps for air :o , and slowly extracts himself from the slimy clutches of the batterlike ooze!
