Jeffery the Gull!

Jeff the Gull here!
So, when I was over at the canal this morning, I noticed almost everyone had these boxes around their necks and kept pointing them at each other.  I'm not sure what they do, but, I figured if I picked one up and put it around my neck I could blend in with the crowd and get a bit closer to the food.

If you happened to be over by the canal and lost a camera, most homeowner policies will cover it.  I may play around with it a bit more to see what it does and than drop it back off when I get a chance.


Your friend, Jeff

The World according the Jeff the Gull

Hi Ya All,

Jeffery the Gull here.   So, when I was up at the Duluth Airshow this weekend I saw those cool looking Thunderbird Pilots using these dark glasses.   Since it seemed to attract a lot of girls, I thought I would give it a try.

I found this pair near a dumpster in Canal Park.  One of the lenses is cracked but not a big deal, I don't use them when I'm flying anyway.  If I stand on the break wall and just look cool, I get a lot of attention and more snacks.

I am so smart and good-looking, there should be a movie about me --- call it Top Gun or something.
Jeff

Ok,  now that Dennis, my assistant, cleaned off the webcam lens, I can see my reflection even better than before.  I always knew I was good looking, but, I have to say, I am better looking than even I could have imagined.   I would guess that the National Audubon Society will be looking me up soon for a few photos.

Don't worry, I won't forget you guys when I am famous!

Super Gulls!

Jeffery the Gull here --- I had an awesome experience yesterday. I took a quick flight over the hill to check out the dumpsters at the landfill and on the way, I noticed a strange flock of large gulls at the airport in Duluth.
They were man-eating gulls for sure.  I say them open their mouths and men climbed in and off they went. Incredible.  There were thousands of people clapping and watching -- how strange.
After flying together in a flock, they landed and seemed to spit out the guys, I suppose they tasted like rubber.
The whole thing was way cool and I sure hope they stop back some day.
Here is a picture to prove that the strange birds exist.
Jeffery!

Jeffery the Gull!

Hi folks, Jeffery the Gull here with you.  What a great 5th Fest yesterday.  Lot's of people around enjoying the day.  I and a buddy found a really full dumpster and hung around it all day.   Wonderful food -- watermelon, hot dogs, cookie pieces and best of all -- pizza.

We were stuffing ourselves when a couple guys came with a big white truck and stole our food right out from under us.  Well, I guess they have families to feed too.  No big deal, we spent the rest of the day at Bayfront, just enjoying the music and people watching.

Camera Operations Tonight!

FYI,

We currently have 6 cameras sharing the same 6-8MB upload capability to the internet.
The cams are:
Pier B
Harbor
Bayfront
Hillside
GLA
Wisconsin Point

Cameras usually take 2MB each.

In order to make the most bandwidth available to the cams that will be viewing the fireworks and Bayfront activities, I will be turning GLA, Bayfront and Wisconsin Point cams off. This will double the available bandwidth to PierB, Harborcam, and Hillside.
 I will also be tilting harborcam up a bit.

The GLA Bayfront and Wisconsin Point cams will be going off shortly after the James R Barker arrived at about 19:00. These cams will be turned on after the fireworks.

Hillside and Pier B will be on manual control for the evening to preserve bandwidth.

All other cams will be operating as normal.

More adjustments may be made on the fly if needed.

Thanks,
Den
