I think cities are more interesting. That looks like a road here. Bars, girls, weird food, etc!

I just made an interesting trip on a lake in a small boat. This lake has a special landscape. Many small and green tea hills grow up in middle of it.

I sat right at the boat nose. I wonder if anybody here dares to get in a boat like that

Cities in VN are the most terrible things. They are plenty of dirt, rubbish, pollution etc I have no idea about bars, girls in cities. I did not touch those 'toxic' things since a very long time

No I wouldn't trust that boat! Powerchairs don't so much float as go down like a brick!

Many years ago, before wheelchair, I was out in the sea almost out of sight of the land in a little row boat with a tiny old fashioned seagull outboard engine. The boat belonged to my friend. There was three of us on board. I asked him why he didn't get a modern more powerful motor. He told me that he can take the whole thing apart in the bottom of the boat with a tiny bag of tools and fix it because it was so basic. So we were in less danger of breaking down.

At that moment the engine note changed and it started to sound odd. And then it fell off the back of the boat and sank like a brick. Maybe 70 foot deep? He just looked at me... And burst out laughing.

Could be a subject for a new topic 'boating adventures'. Two of us out in the San Joaquin river delta in a 10 foot home made wooden boat in the middle of a 1/2 mile wide section on a cold foggy morning decided to pour some of our extra oil/gas mixture into a 2 quart aluminum pot and light it to warm up. Went well until the top section of the pot melted into the boat. Instinct or something said drop a large towel over it and whoosh it went right out.

There are many boat explosions and sudden fires. Fuel, confined areas, nowhere to run, bad mixture!

What drowns a seagull? Ha, I have them beat!

Those old chug chug 60cc seagull outboards were about 2 hp. You were going nowhere fast. You could actually row faster with 2 of you.

Winter in a tropical country

We never know what we will get!

XMAS DAY 25TH: The mercury rose to 15.1C in Dyce, Aberdeenshire, pushing the record of 15.6C (60F) registered in Devon in 1920.

26TH: The unseasonably warm weather will give way to snow and potentially blizzard conditions as gusts of up to 90mph hit on Boxing Day.

Right now? Blue sky, sun, 15 degrees C...

Your daisies are bigger though!

[snaker]

Are the flowers above called "sunflower" in English? In highland areas, there are also hills of flowers that we call "wild daisy". This kind of daisy looks like sunflowers but smaller.

Our region has 4 seasons as in EU. The winter is cold and wet but the temperature rarely drops under 20oC in day time. Sometime it dropped down to 15oC and my body, my brain were nearly frozen even when I was in house

Very good. You hibernate in winter as I do! Been sorting out the house after spending last year in bed with a sore. Sealing drive. 22 centigrade and a sun tan today. Well red anyway! Getting sorted slowly. BBQ was lit!

Paul:
Thanks for the video, very enjoyable, but lots of planes.

[expresso]

nice - who ever has a camera - post your rides - videos - summer is close and ready to ride

[Burgerman]

I know we live in different places but summer is (officially) here in the UK. But actual summer maybe not. However its been 68F or more, for the last few days with strong sun. And I am remembering how summer is nice but too much heat isn't if you are disabled and struggle if too hot. So am looking at air conditioning just on room here. So I can escape it if needed. Around and around we go...

[expresso]

yeah i know - i cant wait for warmer days - soon i hope - and then like you the AC - if too hot - its not summer here yet - not even officially -

i think June 21 is official

Awesome! I know its prob a no brainer for you but I would wonder about getting power from my chair but that's as far as I would get...

Thanks for the great information and easy to follow demo of how to do it!

It's my new camera. Do you see a 'special' thing in this camera?

[hobie1dog]

What were the yellow things laying on the road at the 4:20 mark?

[snaker]

04:30 ? They are maize. Maize is more popular in USA than VN. VN has to spend billions $$$ to import maize (mostly from USA).

Nice - but what special thing ? slow motion ?

i never seen those yellow things before -

[snaker]

@espresso: It has no fisheye distortion It seems this is the unique stock action camera which is fitted no distortion lens. It also has a stabilization function that's called 'Gyro'. This function makes videos smooth by an extreme way, like in the slow motion as you have noticed.

nice - what kind of camera is it - make model etc, -
