Please, "I told you so", or I hope I'm wrong. 



2024, USA. Not an expert. Read a lot of books since 1972. Please let the democrat side win this year

Between the lines from USA I see something like a King Is Not Naked syndrome.

The next leadership committee result November 2024 from the USA better not be Trump for the sake of the current equilibrium of geo politics IMHO.

He is a definite duffer of a man, being promoted by the equivalent of the Russian oligarchs. Every TV or radio snippet of him annoys me- as in I hate over the top sales man theatrics. Again. IMHO. A duffer lead by any appeal to his ego. The puppeteers are just banking the profits. Tell him this and oh no, a another way to make money, or why don't we say the sky is purple and see what we get. argh.

Even USA so called intelligent people are backing him. Really, for what?

The Reps seem to be set on leaving the real world behind, the Demos are trying to hang in and on to the real world, even try to level the playing field. These theatrics on tariffs really in the end affect only the American consumer. I think he is an idiot, and think that some one else, an adult, should be steering a big percentage of the Western world to a better equal world.

But, heck, like, a broadcast like The Handmaids Tale, is or could never happen in the good ole' USA. right? Was it or must not have been broadcast in the USA, right?

Women's rights look like being suppressed, minorities are being looked at as the Third Reich looked at lesser beings, ahhh I should stop, it is so obvious a charlatan looks like being having a finger on the bomb button and a fist in your face if you have not kissed his behind, and giving mates the chance to make more money and the people are left in cardboard houses, it's attitude on Puerto Rico years ago really was and still is appalling, and yes to me, this kissing up to totalitarians around the world is also nauseating.

Seriously, Trump is a a dead set F---W-T to me, who ever thought to even let him have a go in world politicsx should be wring their own neck/hands I am so shook that we might have to put up with this shite for another four years

If you agree or disagree, please do not also say that the USA is definitley split 50/50, ever, I cannot see that happening in real life, but then again, I don't think there is a conspiracy to fuck up the American way of life.

But I could be wrong, and the poor old Media is a dead loss on real facts. Or is it the ol' type gang thing.

Pay up or the shop is burnt.

As before, wash and repeat?

 I hope the  trumpism era ends before the '24 US Elections

Frightening(?) to me, that the common people of the US cannot stand up and tell the orange fraudster to just FO!

Second frightening thing about the world is that this type of 'strong leader' is never called to account but manages to get away with in some cases I think from what I have read, atrocities that the common folk are letting pass. Either actual atrocities or legal and financial avoidance of consequences that commoners are usually convicted for or vilified for or unjustly punished and or disappeared.

Not looking forward to overseas travel next year, but family is family, bite my tongue, enjoy it, celebrate, and get the f345 home ASAP I guess.


On the better side of a at the moment slack time not working for the man and trying not to waste $s from moving out of a mortgage, well, Lake George, Beachport, South Australia, was a very pleasant interlude this year, not a majority of the time on the water speedsailing, but enough to miss it right now. I now have the right sails and masts and a great 2nd hand boom to be a better sailor. Apparently. In my mind 35knots is easily obtainable. No that great a sailor, just another wanna-be-better, so why aren't I?

In the meantime I am up to #4 action camera and it's decided to only turn on, not record... The first one in 2021, a hero9black, turned out to be a dud, replaced by warranty and it was nearly drowned the other day as the door wasn't locked.With #3 the door was opened to change the battery and some water dripped into it so it's "bricked" along with the battery- got to dry off before changing the battery- however the microSD card has been revived!! And now the "spare" new one, a hero10black, appears to be frozen, a warranty job? Forge on brave #2 hero9black action cam!!

My brother again joined me there this year, twice. Here at youtube for your delectation.

A typical day at LG, The Golden Lake. Some days January 2024


4th Jan-
 
  

a pic of some combined sessions and the location

I like the idea of the numbers on the video and a friend gave me said to grab a better telemetry app for the video editing, the gopro one was ok, the new one better I think. 

I have spent quite a lot of time there since I came back from a trip to Cairns and beyond in 2023. Three trips before the end of '23 and another after xms, then a month plus, 29Jan to 4Mar, trying to break 35 knots. Not in any dream. Max was 31! Anyway, the water was not quite glassy this year compared to 2022, 2021 1nd 2020, and definitely not as good as last year, which I missed the party for and was late for anyway-2023  https://youtu.be/oSPISl79324 

Height, weight. Rrggghhhg. Other pople are doing really well for my stats in comparison, maybe not enough 'need for speed' in the head, just like to say I can try it out. RRGGh h mmm. Ah well, time off at he moment for stitches, so can aerially with the drone and vicariously enjoy others sailing at the local lakes.

Another great time in late July 2023- Bledisloe Cup, I shared seats at the MCG to a old friend Sean and his wife Mary down from Darwin especially, and  with my kiwi Qld friend Chris the Smoko Kid and his daughter and her husband. Great get together, the headache later not so! Aplogies to Sean Mary and Chris for not having more beer Sunday!

Please let this year end with a happy note
