  1. Well worth 8 odd minutes of your life for mine. Ciao

  2. I mounted my GoPro Max on my buddy's bike. The stabilization is amazing. Those old Brit bikes shake. It's on about an 6in arm so it's moving around. But the camera compensates for it. Also the microphones on this camera are astounding. The camera is sitting right in the wind and you can barely tell. Here's another video with the camera mounted on the Guzzi. It's on a long 12in arm and again it's moving and vibrating. If you use an external microphone make sure you use a dead cat (fuzzy cover) to reduce the wind noise. Which camera are you using?

  3. Hi, John.. it's just my left hand was worn out from being a mechanic all my life..and playing stand up bass, I think. My thumb was especially bad from..I think again.. repetitive stress from using the tool changer on the cnc mill. At any rate, the cutter put in some new parts and says I'll be good to go in 12 weeks.

  4. Hiya Pete.. yeah, not posting much. One handed "hunting and pecking" sucks. Finished the wings except for varnish a couple of days before I went to the cutter. We've been (probably) over cautious, but so far so good. Thanks for asking..

  5. My son sent me a reference to these guys, and i admit that i figured it was just more odd stuff from my son, but i gave it a listen a while back. Catchy, but whatever, is what i thought. Then i thought “hmm, that was unusual, gonna listen to that again...”, and from there the brain worm sunk in deep. I might go so far as to say that once Wolf Totem in its pure Hu version (they do the song with an American metal band to help sell it, which is fine, but loses some of its best qualities in that version, imho) could end up in that category of rock songs that survive the onslaught of time and fashion thanks to the simple rock beat/percussion/catchiness. that primal percussion, the (mongolian) folksy strings and throat singing, mixed with the underlying American metal backbone and its something new in a class by itself. If you need some yin for your yan, this might be the desired ingredient. A commenter on one of their videos said “Makes me so proud to be Mongolian. Which is weird, because I’m Latino.” they just released a cover of Metallica’s “Sad but True”, which to me seems like too much (more) of a move to the heavily produced and commercial side, but hey, its still catchy, and is another example of a song that as I’m complaining about it i also realize that i can’t turn it off. Its also interesting to see how the random people i meet who somehow let on that they are fans are so diverse, from young to old, hip to “outdated”. Oh, and i found out they host a cooking show on YouTube, highlighting the cooking they do when on tour..... another weird, cool twist.

  12. I read it a very long time ago. I think it's a great title with an acceptable book. Like Ayn Rand's Atlas Shrugged, it could have been so much better if a good editor would have cut it by 30 percent. I might be open to a re-read. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
