Something a bit different for my www.GetFitOver40.com YouTube channel and Blog, but I have nowhere else to really share a video like this and I thought that some folks out there may get some use out of this video. I have not seen anything else like it so why not?
Recently I purchased a 1973 Super Beetle. One issue with almost all of the old Beetles is the heating system since they have an air-cooled motor with no hot water system to heat the interior of your car with. The system most VW Beetles use is to use hot air from the exhaust and force that forward into the cab but this system is not very good and over time your Volkswagen Beetle will most likely have leaks along this heating system that let hot air escape and can even bring exhaust fumes in the cab of the car. Not ideal to say the least.
My 1973 VW Super Beetle had an upgrade at some point during its life and was given a gas heater that is placed in the hood area and blows hot air into the cab but it does not blow any air into the window area meaning defrosting your windows is not so great with a system like this. On top of it all My Gas Heater is not working very well and who wants to go for a drive and find that there is no heat to be had. The other problem with these aftermarket gas heaters is they can catch fire, again not ideal!
My solution to heating my VW Super Beetle is to use a Propane Portable Mr. Heater that is approved for indoor use and it actually works very well. I crack my window a little bit to get some fresh air and the Propane Powered Portable Mr. Heater also has a CO2 and Oxygen sensors built that will auto shutoff the unit if required.
Again this does not solve my defrosting and defogging of the winds wince the Blower fan for the windows is setup to only take in fresh outside air which in the winter means very cold air blowing into the car and onto the winds, kind of useless!
In this video I remove my built in Gas Heater, then I attempt to remap my blower to recirculate the cab air instead of using outside air. And since my factory BOSCH blower motor is making a lot of high pitched noise and is potentially on the way out I install an inline fan to take its place.
So how did it all turn out? Let's just say I have some more work to do but I am nearly there with this project and it will eventually result in a nice warm and defrosted 1973 VW Super Beetle...

The following product review for the Comica WS60 UHF Dual Mini Wireless Microphone Combo has nothing to do with Fitness or Health but as a YouTuber with a couple of YouTube channels, I have to make sure I not only have good quality video but also good quality audio when I make a YouTube Video for one of my channels.
After all if it sounds like I'm in a wind tunnel or the bat cave and you can not hear clearly what I'm saying then it can be very distracting for you the viewer to understand what I'm trying to share with you!
Perhaps you can also utilize a product like the Comica WS60 UHF Dual Mini Wireless Microphone Combo for your audio and video needs, which could also be for something social media related or even just for your own personal use to get the best quality home video and audio.
For the last couple of years I have been using a lapel mic more and more in my videos and I try to use one whenever possible since the audio is just so much better than the Microphone audio built into the camera. It's not that the camera mics are really all that bad, the problem is that most of the time the camera is simply not close enough to the person speaking so you tend to get a lot of background and room noise which makes the speaking audio sound distant with noticeable ambient noise and echo.
Generally I have been using a wired lapel mic that I record directly into my SmartPhone, which I place in my pocket while recording. I use a different camera to record my video, I then sync the audio to the video in post production on my computer but this requires a bit of audio and video software know how. The advantage to a wireless setup is that you can record directly into the camera if it supports an audio input meaning no more requirements to sycn audio later and no long cord bwteen the audio source and the camera. A wireless setup usually is more compact and versatile. What I like about the Comica WS60 UHF Dual Mini Wireless Microphone Combo is the fact that it comes with two lapel mics that both have their own transmitter so they can be worn independently by two separate people, perfect for conducting interviews or even when you simply need a mic in more than one location.
In this Comica WS60 UHF Dual Mini Wireless Microphone Combo YouTube Video Review I first unbox the Comica WS60 UHF Dual Mini Wireless Microphone Combo and show you what you get inside the box and talk about some of the basic features and specification. I then test it out and record audio so you can hear for yourself what it sounds like. I first test it plugged into my SmartPhone like I normally do and then I pug it into my DJI Osmo Pocket for a second reference test. Please keep in mind I performed my original testing without monitoring the real time audio output so I did not catch that there was some interference from my overhead LED lighting. I was able to change the channels on my Comica WS60 UHF Dual Mini Wireless Microphone Combo and completely remove the background bussing I was getting from the LED lighting in my room.

I just got the link from the CPA (Canadian Physique Alliance) to their latest CPA News Letter and take a look who's name is on Page 59 and Photo on page 60! I'm famous now ;)
It's been a little over a week now and so I thought it was time to do a follow-up on my Popeye's Fall Classic 2019 results. I even have my professional stage photos to add to the video so make sure to watch the entire video to see all the photos since they are inserted throughout the video.
In this Popeye's Fall Classic 2019 Follow Up Video I mainly talk about how I felt I did and if I was happy with the what I presented at the show, what would I like to change for any future shows and if there are even going to be any future shows and what they might be...
In summary I am very happy I decided to attend this years Popeye's Fall Classic, I got pretty much exactly the results I was hoping for which was to take home the Overall Trophy in Open Men's Physique and to place top 5 in Open Men's Classic Physique since I really was not prepared to do Classic Physique at all going into this years Popeye's Fall Classic.
