Reverse Snoring..The Great Deceiver

Post by Brushy Hollow Bill » Tue Apr 21, 2009 2:41 pm

Anyway I was freaking out because I was snoring again. My half awake mind had caught me doing it so I made a mental half awake note to notice if I was doing it. I was, and my wife even said, "you are snoring".
But I wasn't, the noise was coming on the exhale because my throat and lips had dried out.
When I checked back on my tape I noticed it but I had to turn it up. It sounded like a bunch of pigeons roosting but it was not snoring.
Bottom line I am still feeling good so I am not going to do any tweaking until all the little diabolical sneaky readout machines out there are in place., but for now problem solved.
And as far as saying it sounded like a bunch of pigeons I have these pigeon eggs to prove it.

I'm stuck at "pigeons roosting" - my mind is trying to recapture exactly what that sounds like. How long did you have to think, "I've heard that sound before..."?

At the end this video shows the cooing sound. Mine sounds more like the guy who was also a lizard in, [Enemy Mine] the movie.

Lou Gossett Jr. (I loved that movie!)

I have one of those night vision Sony cams... I wonder how long it can record.......

Also... did you know there was a filter for those that let you see through peoples' clothing? It awesome.
