Tangled in the Vines, No nest

You may recall my funny, embarrassing incident a couple weeks back where I got stung in the face after telling Cindy how harmless the wasp nest was that was hanging in front of the garage.  Despite the attack, I left the nest in place. Some odd part of me just felt guilty knocking down the nest I have watched the wasps construct for months. The nest had continued to grow in size after I was attacked.  It was probably the size of a baseball cut in half and populated by at least a dozen wasps.

When I got home Friday I immediately noticed the nest had disappeared. Wow, my first thought was it got too heavy and had fallen down.  I surveyed the ground, assuming I would see it pretty easily.  Nothing was there.  I increased my search area to a 10 foot circle even though it would make no sense for the nest to wind up so far away.  Still, no sign of the wasp nest.

I asked Cindy if she knocked down the nest, she swore she did not, although she wanted to. Well where the F did it go?

Yes I realize it is an odd thing to be so concerned with the absence of a wasp nest, especially one that was home to wasps that sting your face.  Still I wonder where it is.  Could a dozen wasps fly away with a nest? Maybe.

So last night I created my first Vine.

What is a Vine you ask?  It is a video clip no longer than 6 seconds that is designed to make you laugh.  I have watched a number of Vine compilation videos and they make me LOL every time.

Anyway I didn’t expect to create a Vine when I shot a video of me zapping my face but once I played it back the light bulb went on, “Hey this could make a good Vine”   Unfortunately I had to rig that first Vine as it is intended to be created entirely on your Iphone through a pretty slick touch/release start/stop interface. I had to chop my minute long video down, edit it in Movie Maker and then shoot video of the video playing on my PC.

However this morning I was off to the races.  A number of ideas popped into my head, 6 seconds at a time.  If you want to see the 6 I have made so far or follow me on Vine – load the app and click here – vine://user/1000547825983348736

Or just watch my Twitter feed and grab them there.  If you don’t laugh at least once I will eat my hat, for 6 seconds.

I also happened to shoot two more BB challenge videos last night, you can check them out on my YT channel.
