Thanks very much for this heads up!

These DIY clickbait videos usually involve extracting free energy, perpetual motion, or wifi from thin air and almost always use electrical tape, hot glue, heat from a torch or lighter and a spark plug to do so.

This clever fellow's effort will never work...he's missing the spark plug!

Best, Dan.

There's always one, and here he is!

Heh-heh. I wish I was as handy as that fellow, handling the bare blade with such aplomb. But I wouldn't wish his spatial awareness on a dog.

His hooter will be knocked off against the seat stay of his bike on the wheel's first revolution after fitting.

Perhaps the instructions were written in a late emanation of Chinglish, which even the Chinese now avoid by giving no instructions whatsoever. But it really should be obvious  to anyone that the hooter is supposed to fit inside the spokes where it will be protected, and may even use the air cavity inside the tube to create a much bigger and therefore more startling warning than that mouse squeak.

is hugely amusing, the bicycle campers and the cruise liner passing. My bet is the two cyclists camping aren't saying, 'Oh woe is us! We'd rather be on the cruise liner lining our arteries with killer fat.' But among the cruise liner's passengers there will be several who will say, 'I'd love to be camping there with those two fellows.' The grass is always greener... 

 It may look like a cruise ship, but it's the MV Spirit of Vancouver Island, the largest vessel in the BC Ferries fleet, the largest vehicle ferry fleet in the world, making one of its 4 round trips per day between Tsawwassen, near Vancouver, and Swartz Bay, near Victoria on Vancouver Island. Despite its capacity of 350 to 470 vehicles (depends on how many 63,000kg trucks are in the mix) and 2100 passengers, it makes the turnaround at each end (unloading and reloading) in a mere 25min. The voyage between ports is only 1hr35min, so there’s not much opportunity for an artery clogging feast.

My cycling friend definitely needs more practice before our tour, so I’ll probably be riding that ship or her identical sister on Thursday, looking at the campground as we pass by.

In a masterstroke, Katsushika Hokusai echoed the shape of the iconic mountain in the foam the great wave would overtake in a second. The ukiyo-e painting by Hokusai which inspired me to adapt it for the dial of the watch which has a Japanese movement, is called The Great Wave Off Kanagawa Prefecture, and even in his own time was considered so significant that it was used as the first in his 37 Views of Mount Fuji; today it is the most famous Japanese painting.

I feel fortunate to have seen several of his original 36 views of Mt Fuji woodblock prints at the Nagasaki Prefectural Art Museum during my first visit to Japan.
