    Great motorcycle time-waisting videos!!!!

    Itchy Boots. Woman from the Netherlands riding through Africa. Well edited episodes so they don't drag out. She has a drone which gives good context at times.

    Riding Madagascar

    My smart tv YouTube led me to Itchy Boots riding in Madagascar. The woman can sure ride. The local even more so.

    Baltimore is a major port. Now blocked off by the bridge. It is going to have a huge effect on the East Coast. Lets see how long it takes them to open the port. Interesting that it happened around 1 in the morning. When do our ports work - sunrise to sunset or longer?

    You are welcome to "Freedom Units". That system is quaint & archaic. That is a mighty collection though.

    Swap = American word. Swop = British version. In this case it should be swop seeing she is said to be English.

    My daughter lived in Dubai. She visited me & I paid for her root canal work done by my dentist as a little gift to her. I had my cataracts done. Specialist would not do them both at the same time. 10 min operation at R20 000 each. Large part of that was the eye hospital charges - for what?

    A classic mini clubman, and time on my hands.

    Sorry, but to me those 4 spots look like Kuils River bling to me. Two would be ok.

    Screwdrivers - JIS vs PH vs PZ vs ISO8764

    MZ

    I liked what was said about the abilities of motor mechanics in Cuba. They have kept those 50's American cars going all these years. Must be really top notch mechanics. MZ developed the expansion tuned 2-stroke exhausts & the disk valve. They were winning races. Ernst Degner, their rider...

    I have a nectar feeder. White-eyes use it most. My wife was away & I was buying heat & cook food at Woolies. I needed sugar for the feeder so bought it there. With that sugar had white-eyes all the time, bulbul & fork tailed drongo regularly & lesser double collared & black (aka velvet?)...

    I like that glue bottle. JB Weld is an inferior copy of Pratley Putty is it not? Americans swear by JB without being aware of the real thing.

    It must have been a very small quantity. We could not smell it. But the ammonia you could smell in the smallest quantities. AECI was pretty safety conscious but we were not alerted to the HF. I was in the PVC section; HF was in chemicals so another section over the road. Up the road was the...

    I worked at AECI in Sasolburg. My office was over the road from the hydrofluoric acid plant. Most of our windows had Perspex in them. The glass ones were obvious because the HF had "frosted" them all so you could not see through them. We had a really low temp refrigeration plant (-40°C) that...

    You bought into a downmarket neighborhood. That looks pretty smart. What happened?

    I have a pair visit me in Green Point. According to my old Newman it is out of its normal range. Range ends around Bredarsdorp or Hermanus. Called Black sunbird in Newman.

    Private enterprise resulting in a nice long train. I was interested to see the two containers stacked one on top of the other. The bottom one fits down between to side beams of the wagon so the bottom is just above the tracks. Kumba is having big issues with Transnet not getting its iron ore to...
