Got this on a Black Friday deal saved all of £3 but it wasn’t very expensive any way.

I dunno doesn’t look that much different to my current model MacBook. Only thing I think that is glaringly obvious is the screen resolution.

Just came across one of my old Macbooks (I have a pile of them), I haven't touched it in years but still a 15" MacBook Pro so was a decent bit of kit in its day. Plugged it in a left it for a while, it eventually boots after several updates. Updated my passwords and bugger me it is working like a charm. Not bad for a 14 year old lappy, I know battery life is shite but it will email, Office, Youtube and the like. It has obviously had upgrades over the years but you would be hard pushed to find a 2009 PC lappy that is still genuinely usable today. Question is will I use it? probably not, modern stuff is so much better in every way, but Kermit lives and that pleased me.

Thats what my Akaso is used for I wanted to do bike vids but no bloody chance.

I couldn't find anything by Reggie, found several shows where he is a guest but nothing by him. I have a more in depth look when I have some time at work later.

I'll have a trawel it can't be hard to find.

I like Reggie Hunter, what's his pod called?

I got one of these awhile ago, not as good as a Go Pro but pretty close and a lot less money. https://www.amazon.co.uk/stores/AKASO/page/C4EA56CB-7BE1-4A68-83E2-4E7A4035834A?ref_=ast_bln

Dry but cold here.

I think it is a bit of both. I got 20% off a Aussie Gear jacket I have been contemplating for awhile so that worked for me but you see some stuff that might be labelled Black Friday deal when it's nothing of the sort.

Working tonight, possibly going down to Redruth Wassail on Saturday, if I am not to knackered, working Sunday night. In between times going to walk the dog and watch rugby and ride the Hornet.

Not coffee pods but Podcasts. What do you listen to? My current top five are: The Rest is Politics - Alastair Campbell and Rory Stewart The Eggchasers Rugby Podcast - Tim Cocker, JB and Phil Our Fake History - What Most People Think - Geoff Norcott The Blame Game - BBC Radio Ulster I listen to loads more but these are my first pick to listen to when they drop in the feed.

Top of The Lake On UKTV Play. Bloody good. Series 2 especially.

£9677. I like the new Trans Alp better, that new strom appears huge in the flesh, long bike.

16KG each fully loaded, no, narrower than the bars. Either ride in the cold and wet or not at all, tis a factor of the ride not a reason not to go.

I went out this morning, not really for any reason apart from to run a couple of errands. Anyway I found myself up on the Moor so took a couple of photos. Then rode back through the Glynn Valley to Bodmin the the A30 to St Columb and Damerells. I needed to book my 600 mile service for the Hornet. Funny when I headed out wet, slippery and wobbly by the time I got back it had dried up and it is amazing how confidence grows when there is more grip. Felt properly cold though, thank goodness for heated grips.

Can’t wait to read about it and see the photos. Have a great trip

I worked 70/80 weeks during the pandemic people were dying in unprecedented numbers. Pointless going on about it some won’t listen or believe but we dealt with it first hand. I know what happened. It was real.

I agree, sadly, but it does make the bike infinitely more practical for me. Mine was bought to used all the time so I have to be able to carry stuff. Oh and I found the fixings for the top box mount plate so that can go on again just for the full pipe and slippers vibe.

I get that you are making the right decision for you. Not sure I could do the same.
