First Ride Of 2019

Had the most perfect day (May 5, 2019) for the first ride of the year.  My motorcycle is a, 2006 Yamaha XT 225.  Have gotten it ready some many times it doesn’t take long.  The tire pressure was a bit low in both but that happens every year.  Got the battery in quick and had it fired up in the third starter push.  It ran great.  Checked everything over and seemed fine.  Do have to get it inspected this year.  Will get them to go over it really good.  Just hope the weather stays some what fine.  Want to start taking it to work.

 

Redbubble – I’d Rather Watch Paint Dry: T-Shirts

The t-shirts I made for the YouTube channel, I’d Rather Watch Paint Dry, came in the mail the other day.  Set up a Redbubble store.  Wanted to see what the shirts looked in in real life.  So ordered two, one of each design.  Took about week and a half to be made and shipped.  As for the t-shirts.  Must say they look pretty good.  The people I showed them to like the black one best.  If you are interested is get one for yourself or some one else you can do so > here.

 

Merry Boxing Day 2018

I hope everyone had a fun and safe Christmas.  The weather here was fine.  Not too cold and little wind.   As all ways the food was amazing.  All so as all, ways ate a bit too much.  Thankfully there are many leftovers for today.  Spent most of the day relaxing and listen to Christmas music.  Then some TV specials.

 

 

     

Christmas Tree 2017

The first Sunday is traditionally the day we put up your Christmas Tree.   Being a fake tree is is easy to setup.  All ways test the lights before putting them on.  They all worked.  Well until I plugged them in once they were all on the tree.  The set at the top no longer worked for some reason.  It’s a small set so easy to take off.  So I had to move a few other lights around to try and fill in the gaps.  Time got around to doing all that.  Decided we will decorate the tree the next day.  Here is the finish product.

Tycka Camera 204 LED Lighting Panel Hands On

The Tycka LED light panel model TK204 I ordered came in the mail the other day.  Took it out of the box and put the battery in.  There was good amount of charge left in it.  Turned it on.  Tested out the colour temperature and dimmer knobs.  Was very impressed on how well it worked. It comes with three accessories for mounting.  The next video project I work on will be using this light.  However first I must learn about White Balancing.

  

PlayStation Classic

Retro videos games are all the rage these past few year.  Atari, Sega an Nintendo has all put out small consoles with many preloaded games on them.  Sony is having a go at it was well.  The announced on September 20, 2018 they are putting out PlayStation Classic.  This a small device that looks like the original PlayStation.  It will be preloaded with 20 games.  They haven’t named all of them yet.  But said a few of them, Final Fantasy VII, Jumping Flash, Ridge Racer Type 4, Tekken 3 and Wild Arms.  In the box you will an  HDMI cable, USB cable (minus an AC adaptor for some reason), and two classic controllers.  So there is not analog sticks.  Just like the original launched with.  It will be out December 3, 2018.  As for a price.  Here in Canada it will be $130.00.

It is pretty cool and interested.  Just going to wait and see what the other 15 games are.  Will not be pre-ordering.  If there some good games I would want to play.  Then see one in store would think about buying it.

  

  

 

Yamaha XT225 Wash And Wax

It has been has been way too long since I gave my motorcycle, 2006 Yamaha XT225, a wash and wax (September 17, 2018).  This summer was really hot with very little rain.  Didn’t want to waste the water.  Every year before the Cape Breton Bike Rally I would give it a good wash/wax.  Not this year.  There is about a week left in September.  So time is time is getting close to having to put it way for the year.  Made it to about two weeks into October last year.  Well see what this year brings.
