a friday night film

Every wonder what a day off is like out here at The Field Lab?  Probably not - but here it is anyway.   News Theme by Kevin MacLeod is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution license (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/...)

Groundhog Day

Punxsutawney Phil may have predicted more winter...but my Terlingua Creek Cat's-eye plants say otherwise.  61,76,36,0,B

waterboxx revisited

Slowly clearing the grounds (again!) and decided it was time to unload my pile of waterboxxes.  I inherited these when the experiment ended years ago.  Donated them today to the Terlingua Community Garden.  Expert desert gardeneer Jenny Schooler was on hand to put them to good use.  Nice of her to give me some seeds to try when I get back to farming here.  64,78,34,0,B

a farm that makes sense out here...

New business venture up the road from me.  Couldn't help but notice their fence isn't bunny proof.  I wonder if that is going to be a problem.  63,78,29,0,W

YouTube Millions!

So just about a month ago I decided to monetize my 10 year old YouTube channel.  Although it means people have to put up with ads, it doesn't cost them a dime to watch the videos.  As you can see from the top photo, I am not exactly getting rich. (I earn about one dollar per 1,000 views.)  As you see from the second photo - the most viewed user on YouTube is making an absolute killing.  After doing extensive research, I found the secret is not to count on the money pouring in...but to just concentrate on regularly uploading quality content that people will find interesting.  "If you film it, they will watch?"  I think I have plenty of good ideas for weekly "friday night films" that will fill up the year and provide some new Field Lab entertainment for people that follow my blog, and the end goal is to ultimately garner enough new interest in my project here that it may eventually lead to some modest income way down the road.  This is not about being an "attention whore"...I have already tried that and I didn't find it very satisfying (over the years I have turned down at least 10 reality TV shows and a lot of money).  I prefer being in total control of all the content released from TFL.  I enjoy living "outside the box" and after over 9 years of blogging, I have refined my ability to report on my daily doings and bumping up my YouTube game is a natural progression.  Hopefully this will provide a different perspective and some additional insight into the Field Lab world that people will enjoy. 58,67,27,0,B
