So, which intercom thingy should I buy?
onesea replied to Simon Davey's topic in Clothing, Luggage, Accessories and Security
Start music with me is double tap front button. Single tap is radio. This might help: https://www.google.com/search?q=cardo+packtalk+pocket+guide&sca_esv=54af7326df9a1a15&sxsrf=ACQVn08PVx2FaFXtex2wMgwI-qOv4Do7iQ%3A1708214121577&ei=aUfRZYXnIu-O9u8PvsyMgAs&oq=cardo+packtalk+pocket+guide&gs_lp=EhNtb2JpbGUtZ3dzLXdpei1zZXJwIhtjYXJkbyBwYWNrdGFsayBwb2NrZXQgZ3VpZGUyBRAAGIAEMgYQABgWGB4yBhAAGBYYHjILEAAYgAQYigUYhgMyCxAAGIAEGIoFGIYDMgsQABiABBiKBRiGAzILEAAYgAQYigUYhgMyCxAAGIAEGIoFGIYDSMQUUABYjQ1wAHgBkAEAmAGmBKABmAyqAQswLjEuMC4xLjAuMrgBA8gBAPgBAcICEBAAGIAEGIoFGEMYsQMYgwHCAgoQABiABBiKBRhD&sclient=mobile-gws-wiz-serp -

I use Spotify and can double click and single click front button to change songs. Fwd & backwards. To change playlist I use Google. Bottom button if I recall. Downside of pack talk is there are various death grips you need to learn to use the functions. Or try the voice control, although in intercom mode it can get confused with your talking and do random things. -

I am not certain, who was being biggest knob, yes the car but then the bike was obviously out for footage. However I did like the opening at the end.

Well she let me down today, first time in 6 years. Still got me home.explains why she was a bit squirmy on the way home last night. The fairing makes perfect oil delivery system, to the back wheel. I think it's the oil cooler.

There USB Chargers that stop that, they are not normally cheap from China. Apparently it’s to do with the electrical noise made changing voltages. Some one clever will be along to advice.

The same could be said for joggers, the amount of times: - I routinely moved out off the way, to let them past, - The amount of times me my dogs have been covered in crud as they jog through the puddles (now I stand in the mud/ puddles so I don't get covered), - The amount that have jogged passed oblivious to my dog, - Sometimes I am shouted at to move (by People with ear buds in) because I didn't hear or see them coming, 5 years we have walked in the forest, 100's of joggers have passed. Now because of 1 incident he now needs to be on a lead. I don't know why my dog didn't stop, change direction. I don't think he intended to hit the guy. I also don't know why the guy who saw the dog didn't break his pace / change direction seeing a dog heading in his direction at a run. However it is all the dogs fault hence my fault Maybe those entitled dog owners have just earned another % who will be just a little less tolerant.

Not disposable of course, although they all tend to have a shelf life. I have tried various and have found the pod system work best for me. No coils to change no seals to leak, I tend to have 2 on the go my present ones have been great. Until I discovered what for me is a significant fault. When sailing randomly the auto pilot would randomly throw its hand in. At random times, it would not steer or just not be quite right. It’s taken me months to work out the fault @S-Westerly will be mumbling into his Sowester . My vapes are magnetic, one of them massively so at 1m it can cause 10 or 20 degree deviation in heading. So stepping past the compass or standing near it vaping caused chaos (nearly as embarrassing as the magnetic travel chess board). It was only when I was standing in front of the digital display vaping, trying to find the fault did I put 2 and 2 together So does anyone know of a non magnetic Pod Vape? Or can recommend a non magnetic Pod Vape. Presently I have and was quite happy with: Voopoo - Argus Z - massively magnetic, Aspire - Geotek - Not so magnetic, much more subtle,

Good old counter surfing, I lined the edge of the counter with pans etc on tea towels. any counter surfing would make a positive crash. I don't think he does it any more, if he does we don't notice. We no longer find he's eaten the contents of the butter dish. It was a 6 month old Irish wolfhound that taught mine to be gentle with little dogs. He was about the age of yours, quite a bit taller than my 12 month old (he's about the size of a German Shepherd). The owner was worried about them playing rough. Eventually the inevitable happened. They both ran into each other and mine went squeak, there's looked a little stunned. The owner was apologetic I thanked them! We have met since they play still gently. They had both also became much more gentle with little dogs.

The New Forest is same thing on grand scale, most dogs have (been trained to) grown up running free. They soon learn to read each other and who are there friends. My big dog is a hound nothing he loves to sprint a good distance to say hi to his friends. Meeting one head on the dogs play/ socialise whilst the owners catch up, owners say hi then walk on the dogs eventually catch up. Sometimes you meet the dogs without the owner, the dogs have found each other and we are unseen on adjacent paths. I am pretty certain the Forest Ponies learn the dogs as well. The only down side is allot of the dogs recall become a request. If a dog can think for themself they will, a mixed blessing. That’s where School holidays and summer comes in the rules change you get the tourists, but there are places your normally ok. EDDIT TO ADD: COVID made dog walking really interesting, you never knew where you would find the socially distanced pick-nick. That had travelled 100 miles to isolate. Some would fuss and feed (I tried to discourage this) because others would demand you get your dog away. On one occasion my response was “well stop calling his name and waving a f**king sandwich at him”.

Having just had a Ginsters pastie, I maybe should not be preaching this. However presently listening to my first audio book for the last week, Ultra Processed People. Turns out it's free on Spotify Prime. Cannot say I am absorbing as much as I would from a book. However the listening is interesting. When it comes to shopping I am already looking at what we buy and reading more ingredients.

With my little dog if anyone said "I don't mind if she jumps up" my response for years has been "no but others might". It's normally a well recieved response. The little dog doesn't jump at us, it brings no reward. The big dog doesn't jump, he's learned there is no reward. Infuture if someone asks (or just does) pet my dog my response may become "they would love it but sorry no they might approach someone that doesn't like dogs". Dog poo yes I have had same experience (most have) bag in hand, I hope your picking that up taking that home. No I am putting it in the dog waste bin over there. Only to find the council have removed select poo and waste bin . People where dumping poo bags and waste where the bins were. This has been going on for years and the council normally repent, sorry replace the bin that was taken for repair . @Nick the wanderer dog parks £15 an hour and we use them atleast once a week (we have 3 (where once 4) within 5 miles off or house) so the little dog can have a run and they can have free play, with a little training thrown in. Every day that would mount to over £5000 pounds a year. They also generally don't have the distractions that are needed to teach reliable recall. The one that did have small road with horses, cyclists cars etc beside it got closed down due to dogs barking! Today going to the boat another boat & dog owner, complimented me on my dogs behaviour, he also commented on dogs now requiring to be on a lead (mine were) on the harbour pontoons/ property, news to me. Explains why I hadn't seen his dog on the pontoon for a whilst. However I have used the pontoons in the past to teach recall, they are great cars, people, dogs ducks and swans. Yet they cannot get to them. If they pass that test they have a good enough recall IMHO One once tried and failed low water, defeated by sea wall rolling back through thick estuary mud . She climbed back on pontoon a little dirty , was taken to a nearby cold hose and washed (much to peoples amusement) walked back to the car mid winter and . Boat owner that came to pontoon would accepted they would walk past (and be used as distraction eg fuss) a puppy dog, or give us chance to put them on a lead without complaint. It does seem the world has become less tolerant, not just dogs. With people using social media egging each other on to become more and intolerant. Motorbike exhausts, Pub music, amature boat yard noise, industrial noise, dogs barking, fire works, children playing football, the local skate park, train horns. Among things that people have complained about locally. Net results skate park closed after 1800, more kids on the street, vandalism up, train crossing that got closed (less dog walks), pubs closing down, less jobs.

As a dog owner of 40kg non pit bull type dog (he’s a hound) and another mutt Colley ish type mixed breed (20kg). I have noticed people have become increasingly wary of the “big dog”. “ You can never tell any dog can turn”, the big dog is the most soft mutt you will ever meet until 3 days ago he had never harmed any one or knocked anyone over. Interestingly not the little dog which is always on a lead as her behaviour to other dogs and prey drive is massive, she also jumps up the one they need to be careful of. Following recent incident when my big dog ran from the side across path of a jogger they collided, jogger fell over. It was not in anyway deliberate, by the dog ( the worst he has done in the past is barked at joggers past close by him unawares and scare him, on these occasions the jogger is normally as surprised as he didn’t see the dog either and there is no issue). This jogger was back on his feet so quick I don’t think my dog really knew what he had done. Jogger was prompt in coming over to me rude, aggressive, evasive etc with me, to the point I was left shaking, demanding I give him my details. A third party noticed 5 minutes later when I got back got the Carpark. I have had subsequent phone call from police and been told he must be on lead at all times jogger are likely - so basically all the time they creep up from all over often surprising me. The police also commented he says he has frequent problems with dogs on his jogs. However the jogger agreed my dog was not in anyway aggressive, that was not a problem. It seems his attitude and approach to me was to be expected, my dog was in the wrong. I cannot help but think that the only acceptable dogs now are near un achievable. They can no longer approach people, have to stay 100% un reactive to people who run cycle past feet or even inches away. Cannot expect people to think running dog maybe I should drop from a jog for a moment just incase? (Not seen he might chase etc) People throwing balls for dogs cannot expect other dogs to be interested? Having pick-nicks should not expect dogs to even interested? Horse riders should drop from a gallop? Before this I had found myself increasingly putting him on lead just incase people don’t like a big dog. Now for a whilst atleast he just won’t be off the lead. Approaching people or dogs, he learned to go 10 - 15 foot away and see what reaction he gets. Or drop to lied down and wait to be approached often this results in fuss or a play. He is not always perfect (is any dog)and until recently his behaviour hardly ever got questioned. Now he either gets he’s a loverly dog, sometimes with compliments about his good behaviour, alternatively he’s a big dog and needs to be under control. I should add this is on open ground in the New Forest not small parks etc. where people density is much greater. Yet the small dog who is difficult (but very friendly with people) rarely gets a mention. For the last few days I have noticed instead of the dogs joining me in day to day errons they have stayed at home. I have minimised my time out of the house, I don’t need the abuse. It’s a day off gone 11 and normally I have walked dogs and am doing my daily bits by now. Am I the only one, feeling all large dogs are being branded as viscous.

On the rack in the garage with your old sails? On top of the pars and other bits that boats accumulate.

Not certain the CBF is right bike to start from. The CBR has more top speed to start with. Also online info on timing will be much more readily available, for 17 year old boys every Mph matters. UK boy racer 125cc seem to do: exhaust, carbs/ ECU, air filter. The 50cc scooter brigade seem to do big bore kits with some success. At the cost of reliability. Most on 125cc's just wait for bigger bike licence. If it's for racing then striping weight will help.

Let me know how you get on with it please. It’s meant to be a motorbike forum, not the place for for shining beacons of logic and reason. The response should be go buy motorbike your not going to live that long anyway I just calculated the average age of death of my parents and grandparents unless the government change the age of retirement (again). I should successfully manage 0.333 of a year of retirement cancer, respiratory, stroke, cardiac, neurological one actually buggered up the average by getting more out of his pension than he put in. By dying in there mid 90’s of old age! My life style has had little in common with his, more in common with the others.

I knew nothing of the book, you speak. So did some Googling, and am I not saying anything about it, that others have not said. It appears the ?truth, well more info will out shortly: "the most significant piece of defamation litigation that [he has] seen in a very long time", https://pressgazette.co.uk/media_law/mail-on-sunday-statins-libel-trial-matt-hancock/# https://www.doughtystreet.co.uk/news/trial-1-split-trial-libel-cases-harcombe-and-kendrick-v-associated-newspapers-and-calman https://drmalcolmkendrick.org/2023/10/09/what-is-wrong-with-the-nhs/ Very little actual information, not even a date for trial. The other factor I would consider, is ultra processed food. https://www.bmj.com/company/newsroom/new-evidence-links-ultra-processed-foods-with-a-range-of-health-risks/ There is a book ultra processed people, I keep meaning to read. I have again googled the author “Chris van Tulleken“ and found no liable cases. However allot of podcasts YouTube and allot what he says makes sense to layman anyway. Enough for me to be trialing bread machine bread for lunch time sandwiches not cheap brown sliced (ultra processed). Thanks @Tiggie you have just given me another reason to avoid the age related check up the surgery have sent 4 letters regarding (my misses found the last one and now she’s on at me).
