Garden 2.0

We had a garden a few years ago but didn't keep it up in 2014 or 2015. We moved to North Reading, MA in March and I finally made some time to setup a new garden. It's great having fresh home grown vegetables and I'm excited to get started growing them. With the help of my assistant it took about two hours to cut the wood sides of the garden box, set them up, level them, stake them, and fill the box with soil. It's a bit late in the season to plant but at the least the garden box is ready for next year. I planted some peas, beets, peppers, and basil and it seems likely we'll get some small amount of production this year. Figuring out the garden dimensions, trimming boards and leveling them Building some stakes to hold the pine boards in position.

GoPro Hero4 Black audio ticking with WiFi enabled

Got a GoPro Hero4 to record some video for YouTube. It's a great camera. Small, waterproof, great quality video, a ton of different mounting types. The Hero4 I have has an odd issue where videos recorded with WiFi enabled have ticking sound throughout the recording. Googling for the issue turned up a ton of similar  issues , some reported a year ago across a range of GoPro cameras. It was surprising to me that new models like the Hero4 would have the same issue. Update : Received a replacement through Amazon, where I ordered it from, and it has the same issue. I had contacted GoPro but they won't do cross shipping, even if you offer to pay for the replacement. Without cross shipping it would have been a couple of weeks wait for the shipment there and back on a camera I've had for less than a week. It seems like there might be something wrong with the design of these cameras and I'm surprised GoPro hasn't owned up to it. Its not a debilitating defect...
