My Pocket 4 P 1st try

 Owdue I am not one of those people that know instantly the ins and outs of the tech I buy, in fact if anything I am guilty of just jumping in and then wondering why the result is far from what I expected. I want to try and correct that to some degree so before I take the next travel adventure I have scheduled I am on familiarisation time with the DJI Pocket 4P. I have to say I rather like this camera, I know there are lots of comparisons between this and its major competitor but at the end of the day, availability and price is why I plumped for this one. Its availability is also the reason I didn't go got the Vlog combo. This is my very first attempt out "in the field". It was on the 4th of July and CK TIKII were having  a bit of a bash and one attraction was the food choice included hot dogs. There are not too many places that I frequent in Chiang Mai that do decent hot dogs. How did my first try go? Pretty good. the camera is easy to operate I need to study the focus a...

Here I am again sampling food and service. I am in Chiang Mai and I strolled to the Causeway Irish Pub where I had a pint of Guinness and a new to me dish, a Dublin Spice Bag. Very nice it was to be sure.

Al's June Slideshow

 Owdue June has been and gone. The rabbit and tortoises are still eating everything in sight including the now ripening avocados should they fall from the tree. Still planning an escape and still trying to climb the steps to sneak into the house. I've been out and about with rides on the Burg plus walks, some into the city ,some out in the rural area around home. You do sweat a lot in the tropics so one or two of my walks include hydration stops at CK TIKI, Happy Drink, MOMENT & WINE Hideaway and of course the Red Lion Pub Chiang Mai where not only do I enjoy a drink and good company but some terrific food. Mind you good food is not restricted to the Red Lion and as well as there this months delights included the Spices curry set and the incredible buffer at Auf Auf der Au Garden. All this and a couple of birthday to celebrate. Its a hard life...

Al's DayCast 1001 on the Burg caught on Camera June 2026

 For some time now I have been trying to solve why my Innovv C5 camera mounted on my Burgman does or doesn't record. Taking a ride to a wonderful spot I tried a belt and braces approach. the approach worked, I wan not left with my trousers down by my ankles😂. OK the video is of me riding  so it isn't for many, but I was so happy to have got it recorded reliably I just had to post it... PS the AI declaration is for my devil look at the end.

 Owdue Continuing the rainy season features😂 Another day in the life here in Chiang Mai and it's rainy season. On many a rainy season days it is a hot and sunny day with beautiful blue skies. Then, before you know it the clouds crash in and the heavens opened. Any so it was yesterday whilst I enjoyed a curry with my friend Charlie. Having eaten I needed the loo and whilst I went the rain conned me into thinking it was easing... So I set the phone to video... Instagram often refuses to post my UHD videos so here is a screenshot from the video which you can see by following the link to my YouTube channel here.
