Whiskey (always with the E or you're in Scotland) in Irish is Uisce beatha - Water of Life. Uisce, sadly, is just plain old water. On the upside however Uisce doesn't give you a hangover like a rusty saw being dragged across your brain.I'm also worried for David...
Meanwhile, back from Dublin to Liverpool. Too many things to report now!

There are several kilometres of the most modern business & housing architecture along the River Liffey. The huge red building is a pub that belongs to Brewdog (Scotland), the biggest craft brewery of Europe. The city ends here, leaving space to the Port of Dublin.

Lovely Wales, the e-MTB country.
Been there often….Whiskey (always with the E or you're in Scotland) in Irish is Uisce beatha - Water of Life. Uisce, sadly, is just plain old water. On the upside however Uisce doesn't give you a hangover like a rusty saw being dragged across your brain.
Hey, OKAY. I was born in Bronx Hospital many decades ago. I use to live along Bruckner Blvd (before it became whatever) between the Whitestone Bridge and the Triboro Bridge. PS 93. We use to bike ride out to the Sound or whatever it is at that point and watch the planes at LaGuardia Airport - propeller planes back then!!!!!
Ive never seen that spire, looks amazing.I'm also worried for David...

In fact I'll admit I haven't seen any of Ireland except Cork.
Youre really getting about, never been to gogo either.
It was a progression. Bronx to Yonkers. Yonkers to Chicago for law school. Chicago to Seattle - for LIFE!Oh man Bruckner Blvd is scary now a days. It’s like a highway with a few stop lights along the way. I’m not sure why my Bosch Cobi bike app navigation directed me there when there’s a bike lane just a few blocks over. Albeit, I’ve never seen such blatant disregard and disrespect for bike lanes like I have in the Bronx, I’d still rather be in a bike lane than on bruckner. Where ever you are now looks far nicer than Da Bronx! Lucky you…..
As the back of the bike lifts off the ground and he is uni-cycling through the dunes!Well Ive finally done it, I needed one that didnt seriously interupt my ride, I video stuff as a hobby and its a distant second to the actual riding .
Couldnt resist when a seconhand one for 90 quid popped up on ebay... the Spark with gesture control, no controller reqd or fiddly time wasting connecting to phones
Tied a piece of string to it for first go!
Theyre practically alive these things.
You do everything by just waving at it or putting your arms in funny positions.
Very badly framed, I was nervous
Very cool. What surprises me is how quiet they are. My mini tips the scales at under 250g so no license/registration or drone pilot certification is required here in Canada. We still can’t fly them in national parks (bummer) however or wherever airspace prohibits. The Spark likely exceeds the max weight here but its attributes are intriguing nevertheless.Well Ive finally done it, I needed one that didnt seriously interupt my ride, I video stuff as a hobby and its a distant second to the actual riding .

They are quiet, but we need registration of all camera drones regardless of weight, you have to pay fifteen quid and do an online test.Very cool. What surprises me is how quiet they are.

I believe the Litchi app for the mini2 allows for follow me and active track using GPS but doesn’t appear as intuitive as the Spark. Hope to get some footage next week while in the mountains.…outside of the park boundaries mind you.
So thats who Molly Malone is!View attachment 124303
I & Brix lived in a good modern hotel in the Dublin Docklands. It made the wrong impression the whole city (including two museums related to the Irish Great Famine and Emigration) was modern, sterile and boring. Because everything along the Liffey up to the Connolly Railway Station was as I described.
But we walked, walked, and walked, eventually being able to discover different flavours of the capital city of Ireland. And no raining on that day!

At Ristorante Romano, 12 Capel St., North City, Dublin. The owner, one Romano Morelli turned out to be a senior Italian competing road cyclist, and his restaurant was decorated accordingly. A charming man!
