Riding Down Under - Tropical Cairns Australia

Let's hope you have less problems getting warranty support than I had with a BMS (battery management system) I got from AliExpress. It failed about a week before the 1 year warranty expired, and the seller was giving me the run-around and was refusing to replace/repair under warranty. Luckily I contacted Daly directly (manufacturer of BMS) and they helped get me the proper support.

Turns out not to be needed. Senn was very responsive tho.

I found Amazon will go to bat when Panasonic was giving me a hard time on a BluRay player.
Australia has all consumer electronics covered by a 2 year warranty,,..period full stop.
Some manufacturers don't like it.
Amazon sent me a new player immediately.

Lotsa green

some improvement


Had a couple of days with no painkiller drugs at all. Worked out okay cept for mild headache could not shake. Took two Panadol 675s at supper....lost the headache and had a good "early to bed" evening. Feel fine at midnight.
At least have a benchmark for the pain killers now and shoulder pain down to very little.
Will see about a ride tomorrow. 🏍️

Almost done with Yellowstone ...not sure about beef in my future :unsure: too hard on the environment. Will stick with kangaroo for the carnivore fix at home and chicken burgers or wings when out.
Baby back ribs for a once in a while treat.
Producing beef carries a significantly higher environmental cost than chicken across almost all metrics, including greenhouse gas emissions, land clearing, and water usage. On average, the environmental impact of beef is about 5 to 10 times greater than that of chicken. [1, 2, 3]

Producing beef has a significantly higher environmental cost than producing pork. Beef generates about 11 times more greenhouse gases and requires roughly 28 times more land. Swapping beef for pork can cut a meal's carbon footprint by a third

Not the most comfortable seat but have padded shorts for that at least it will get me seating.
Looks in good nick and fits the space I wanted it for.

Happy camper 🕺...now just have to use it :rolleyes:
Got a few minutes on it and my heartbeat went to 113 quick enough but back down to 95 quickly and now 78. That's okay. No tachicardia.
still needs a bit of adjustment on seat to be more forward. Can use it happily exactly where it is now - do not need to move it back and forth.
Right handlebar blocks the screen a bit - could move of left if I want to lose that...likely won't as would need to move each use.

Damn 10 hours plus sleep last night straight through. Not sure what prompted that run. :unsure:

Was bachelor tonight as partner out with rellies. Glad I went to the club.
They had apple sauce pork chop which I looked forward to.
Nat a success...way too salty and with winter vegs on the side was not a very good meal.
I decided to have an apple slice for desert as a treat and they did it gratis ...unasked freebie for but appreciated.
So was feeling happily full and then my ticket number came up on the meat tray

Carnivore's delight. 🕺
Revived my faith in pork chaps with a lovely size large for brekkie. Dogs got a taste of the scraps.

🤷‍♂️ :sleep:

Definitely winter ...was chilly all day. Parter said I was going to be too hot in what I wore to the beachside eatery...long sleeve techical unershirt and my heaviest black riding shirt....I was just comfie.
She was very wrong and I was smirking slightly.
FFS 22 C and 40 kph gusts oceanside ain't ever gonna be "hot".
Down to 14 tonight. 🥶

Was fun even without feathers

Watching a terrific movie nearfield on the 14" HDR screen from 12"...with the Momentum headphones on I don't miss the theatre at all....and I'm toasty despite no heat in the house. 🙏
FFS not so toasty when I woke up
I’m shivering in chilly bed at 5 am.

Guess I should get the Dyson heater sorted

Watching Age of Innocence …I don’t think I’ve seen it.
Very luscious cinematography…..astonishing cast. Making me hungry watching them dine.

Stuck on fours :(

til tonight
Finally a feather...


Rainy day. Got scripts sorted with doc and appointment for driver medical ...once a year doc has to sign off....just like pilots every year if current. Not expecting any issue. Every year after 75 for car and motorcycle drivers.
Hopefully keep the basket cases who should not be driving at bay. Dad was legal at 95 so decent genes and vision 20/20 tho I notice night vision a bit degraded and due for eye test this month - my depth of field reading s reduced.
