All,

I wanted to share with you all a great video that is so inspiring.  I find so much of myself in Eric from Blue Ox Mill.  Please take 10 mins and enjoy an amazing video.  http://vimeo.com/78788086 Copy and paste link.

Cheers,

Well, I tried to watch it; but alas, no sound, no navigation abilities, no joy whatsoever. I don't know, maybe it only works with a dumb phone?

Pam,
I was able to watch and listen to the video.  I'm using an Intel i3770 based desktop PC,  Windows 8 (64-bit) as the OS, and Internet Explorer 10 as the web browser.  It also runs on Chrome version 31, and Firefox.

We are entering a period (again) where browser vendors are attempting to use new features and new standards to obtain an advantage over their  competitors.  This means that in some cases, a web page that can be viewed using a particular vendor's browser may not display at all when viewed with another vendor's browser.

If you are attempting to view the video on a smartphone, try viewing it on a PC.  If you are viewing it on a PC, try installing an additional browser-- Firefox, Chrome or Internet Explorer.

:)
 
I tried again and got the pictures, but still no sound. Weird, never have any problems with YouTube, using Firefox on a 5 year old Mac laptop (longest lasting laptop I've ever had). Thanks anyhow.
 
I agree, Freddy - awesome, touching, and inspiring.  By opening his life to young people of need he has managed to exorcise many personal demons.  And it appears that his journey is taking another turn by working with other veterans.  Good stuff.
I wish the video was twenty minutes longer and showed more of his machinery and millwork.

Thanks for posting this

Chuck
