Into September 2024 with the Lovelocks & Snoopy's Robot Boat

[Robin Lovelock on robin@gpss.co.uk]

https://youtu.be/xsO2G8yq1ac?si=DFHPPXcNljU4wgXh is a 1.4 hour video with the trails of photos shot between Friday 30th August until Thursday 5th September 2024. The video starts with Robin's usual amusing introduction, shot on Friday 6th September, walking down their front drive at 22 Armitage Court in Sunninghill. You see Snoopy's Robot Boat in the front garden,  hopefully soon ready for a Bray Lake Test, before it's 2024 Atlantic Attempt. Faults are still being diagnosed and fixed. "Static Testing" was the answer ! e.g. replacing solar panels; wiring mistakes; GPS logger system. No problem seen in the earlier "Mid July" video ! Robin goes through house & back garden, showing more good work in the "Workshop" and "laboratory" areas: MUCH more space for hanging tools, and all painted white, so they can easily be seen in poor light - such as winter eveings ! :-) He shows how, with help, they might get the house, back to what is was several decades ago.  The introduction shows important detail for potential helpers in "property maintenance" ;-) They need plenty of experience and "common sense" ;-) After the photo trails, Robin wraps up with video shot in July 2023: prophetic words of James Lovelock about Global Warming, and Robin's suggestions about the DVLA. He still has not received his driving licence. Most guys would be annoyed, but Robin is often amused by incompetence - so long as it does not result in suffering, pain, or death. It has been very "inconvenient", with more load put on June, coping brilliantly with her health problems. She has still not seen her Magnolia House Doctor. Yes, as can be expected, from Robin's career, then hobby interests, there are plenty of examples of people, GPS Tracking, and technology put to good use. e.g. wildlife and people caught on CCTV. The automatic subtitles/captions should soon be available, with translation into any language. Well Done Youtube Guys, whoever and wherever you are ! ;-) Footnote: Youtube used to give a choice of three images, for the "title picture" - and now just one. You must do it yourself - and not an image bigger than 2 MB ! Not difficult with old Paint. Google and Youtube things change - fewer people to employ and pay ? Bring back people, simply aided by A.I.  ! :-)

For those few into robot boats, I have updated Snoopy's "Blog11" on http://www.gpss.co.uk/rbblog11.htm with a link to the above video and a few concise words ;-)
