Watching My Steven Adler YouTube Video From Twenty (20) Years ago!! Content From 2006!!

Hello everyone.  It is October 13, 2026.  On this day, twenty years ago, I uploaded my first video of original content on YouTube.  The video includes Steven Adler, the drummer of Guns N Roses.  I met him after The Bad Boys Of Metal concert in 2004 .  Two years later, I uploaded the video to YouTube so I could embed the code into a bulletin on Myspace.  This video is on my original page that I no longer have access to.  YouTube - if you are watching, I have used all of the troubleshooting, all of the methods...I cannot get into that page.  You can see that I am the same person.  I am actually wearing the same shirt.  In any event, this is history...the very early days of YouTube.  This is one of the first Rock Star related videos ever on YouTube.  Absolutely extraordinary.  How many uploaders from that era are still around posting new content?  Two decades have gone by.  Thank you for watching and being a part of my personal YouTube history.  This is an occasion for celebration indeed.  Very special.

Train Show In Magnolia, NJ On September 26, 2026 Model Track Display Layouts

The Magnolia Train Show hosted by the Strasburg Model Railroad Club Of New Jersey took place at the Donald E. Wilson Community Center yesterday, September 26, 2026.  The parking lot was mostly filled when I arrived for the last roughly two hours remaining of the event.  It was very successful.  I heard that the early morning was packed/mobbed.  That is a great sign for the future of the hobby.  This video features some of the operating track layouts and my purchases at the show...way more die cast than trains.

The 20th Anniversary Of My (Other) YouTube Channel Created On July 30, 2006

It is July 30, 2026.  On this day, twenty years ago, I created my first YouTube channel.  Today is the 20th anniversary of that channel.  This was in the pre-Google acquisition days in 2006.  Fortunately, the channel still exists.  Unfortunately, I no longer have access.  I abandoned it.  The original upload of my very popular George Washington Tomb video is there.  You can see the theme of traveling and going to historical sites still exists.  The 2000s, 2010s and 2020s...three different decades that I have uploaded this kind of content.

This video will show you that page from the very old days of YouTube:

The Gravesite Of American Revolution Patriot Henry Reeves In Maurice River Township, New Jersey

Today, July 03, 2026, for this American Revolution 250th Anniversary July 04 Weekend, I drove to the Maurice River Friends Quaker Burial Grounds in Maurice River Township, New Jersey.  While there, I visited the grave of Henry Reeves.  Henry Reeves was not a Soldier.  He did sign an oath of faith and allegiance to his state in opposition to the King of Great Britain.  Due to this, he is considered a Patriot of The American Revolution.  In addition to the battlefield, the homefront was very important to the war effort.  For this Revolutionary War Semiquincentennial weekend, I found it necessary to honor those who were committed to the cause of independence.  I wore multiple layers of clothing in my 1700s style attire.  What was the temperature and real feel today?  102 degrees?  105 degrees?  107 degrees?

The 250th Anniversary Of The Battle Of Turtle Gut Inlet In Wildwood Crest, NJ On June 29, 2026

The Revolutionary War Semiquincentennial continues.  Today is the 250th Anniversary of The Battle Of Turtle Gut Inlet in, what is now, Wildwood Crest in New Jersey.  The naval battle, the only Revolutionary War skirmish in Cape May County, took place on June 29, 1776.   It was the first privateer battle of The American Revolution.  Richard Wickes was The Continental Navy's only casualty on that day and the first casualty in New Jersey.  The Brits to lost thirty to forty of their personnel.  A trick was pulled off with success.  A fuse was lit within the ship called Brigantine Nancy by the Continental Navy, and then the Americans departed the vessel.  The Brits, thinking that they captured a valuable vessel and supplies, discovered the ruse too late.  I used multiple maps from four different centuries to ascertain the location of Turtle Gut Inlet and, thus, the location of the battle.

Yesterday, Wildwood Crest hosted a reenactment of the naval battle with a funeral of Richard Wickes.

Freedom For Iran Demonstrations In Washington, DC On March 07, 2026

I am finally uploading content from the two Freedom For Iran Demonstrations in Washington, DC held on March 07, 2026 uploaded.  Both were quite lively.  The Donald Trump quote "Is DEAD" was turned into a song and played frequently.  I wore the colors: green, white and red.  Some little children took notice of my sign with the Playskool Glo Worm.  One went to grab it.  Hilarious.  After the Free Iran demonstrations, I walked into a left-wing pro-mullah demonstration.  I posted videos of both below.
