But what Monstarium is?
It's a PC video game (currently in development), where you:

"Found a legendary monastery where religion blends with industry. Design production chains, uncover revolutionary technologies, and trade with distant caravans to create a sanctuary for pilgrims. 1/2

Winter Wonderland run in ETS2: Mo i Rana → Winterland, then out to Almaraz, Spain and back. Winding up with 4 completed deliveries in Montenegro. Snow drifts, scenic mountain passes, and the GPS trying to start a fight.

A black, faded yellow, muted orange, and burnt sienna Volvo truck sits in the left foreground on a snow-covered road, tire tracks curving across the white surface. In the middle distance, people skate on a frozen rink beside a small alpine village, with snow-dusted pine trees and steep mountains rising under a clear winter sky.

Cruising Louisiana ✅ COMPLETE.
Six-hour marathon, 10 loads, 1,858 miles.
Idabel → Lake Charles for the final checkmark, hauling scissor lifts on a flatbed like a responsible adult (lol)

Scotland reserve first run ✅
Bait barrel + e-caller = instant action (fallow deer at 45y, double-lung, one shot).
Wild boar pack showed up… and I whiffed two long shots 😅 Next time: redemption.

Resolve is still teaching me humility, but it’s the good kind, the kind that leads to better edits instead of endless file re-linking.

Clipchamp kept making me relink the media like a forgetful granny. So I switched to DaVinci Resolve, got lost in complexity, then finally hit that OH! moment.

Field Note + teaser for next vid: Fishing Creek Revisited.

What a mess! Wyoming has some of the least competitive ACA markets in the country. In places like Teton County, there has often been only one ACA insurer (Blue Cross Blue Shield of Wyoming). That lack of competition drives prices way up. This is ridiculous.

New editor, who dis?

I swapped into DaVinci Resolve mid-project and my brain is now a node graph. I’m writing up the learning curve (and the small victories) over here:

Screenshot of DaVinci Resolve’s Color page while editing an off-road driving clip (a close view of a vehicle tire rolling along a gravel road). Over the darkened interface, big gold text reads: “HAD TO SWITCH TO A NEW VIDEO EDITING SOFTWARE” and “THE LEARNING CURVE IS STEEP BUT WE’RE NOT SCARED OF HEIGHTS AROUND HERE.”
