A lot has happened since my last blog post. I’ve done some work on the backyard mud pit and I’ve made two trips into the swamp (5\/23 and 5\/24). I am exhausted and I have a lot of video to edit. I’m not in a hurry to post all of my new video because sales are really slow right now. I’ll keep putting out about one video every week. It will be 4-5 weeks before I publish everything I’ve already shot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On May 23, I spent a lot of time, fully immersed in the mud. It was a hot day and the mud was refreshing. I recorded two videos, although the second one might not make a good clip for viewing, since I was under the mud so much; there just wasn’t much to see.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On May 24, I paddled the extra distance to visit the thick mud. I shot a lot of “action” video, as I was checking out the mud, changing clothes, getting cleaned up, etc. I shot two scenes in the thick, sucking, black mud. One of them got cut short by rain. I ended up packing up and paddling back in the rain before the tide came back in. That was sad, but I still had a good time, while it lasted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There isn’t much to say about the mud pit maintenance, except that I found a snapping turtle, snoozing in my mud. I evicted her temporarily while I gave the pit a good stirring, then I put her back. Her mud diving skills put me to shame, and she can hold her breath a *lot* longer than me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
