Thank you !!

Yo viéndolo en ingles ya que en español no hay XD

Buy a Sebo. You could have bought a Dart for what you paid for that thing and had a better and longer warranty

Isn’t he just the bees 🐝 knees ❓❓❓❓

Dyson makes junk. And their customer service is in %$#III Nowhere

Hello! I enjoyed your video tremendously, I had family who were in the Bush War, Major Winkler. I would love to hear stories regarding his accomplishments with the RhACR and the Black Devils. @smacksman1

I came from your Rhodesian Armoured Car Regiment video out of interest on the topic/country to see what else you had to offer and stumbled across this video! I do not regret watching a single second of it, a fascinating, sad experience... yet one which you managed to soldier through and crack many jokes along the way! I am very pleased you are still here, and hope you are in good health. Touch wood, you'll be here for many years more.

Super helpful thank you

Definitely a great explanation but the graphics are messy. How about using numbers on small cards in a bigger square?

As you say, with oesophageal cancer it is often 'when' and not 'if' you are going to die. As someone who went through the experience of oesophageal cancer treatment, chemo and the op, I was afraid of the bad odds of survival. I found no help online so I decided to put my experiences on KZfaq to help others to think positive. Video here - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/pN-pZs2I06e8aKs.htmlsi=_P1-rzwWTe5M2yev I love sailing in very old and new boats and have crossed oceans and raced dinghys on the local puddle. Sadly, that is now in the past, but I sail again watching your videos. Thank you. Best wishes to your dad.

Dit is omdat daardie mense geen trots het nie want hulle het bokkerol tussen daardie twee vlappe van hulle

Very helpful. Thanks so much for making the video.

very helpful thanks

Got a V10 for 3 years now. Dyson make a poor product . Switched back to Miele corded, and our house is much cleaner. Dyson is nice for just little fast cleaning jobs on the fly. Not for complete houses

thank you for this video, it really helped me a lot.

Thanks Roger!

We traveled on it before 2006. All my children with us.2006 my youngest son died.

Hello Rodger, interesting story. An English friend here in usa (82) recently had similar OP. I will forward to him, he will relate. I also can relate too as in 2000 when I was 39/40 I had esophageal and Rt tonsil cancer. 23 years later I’m still here too.😇 My ‘cure’ as that’s what it is now was a little different , being much higher up my throat. I had surgery first (before op to minimize recovery issues and tissue damage from radiation). I had a ‘free flap’ from my stomach sewn into my throat to replace the Rt tonsil and surrounding area into the esophagus, with a fatty part of the stomach lining patch outside to make checking the health of the graft easy for the first week. I also had a stomach tube(came out my belly) , the best thing ever , I lived on it for 3 months and it stayed in for almost 6 months(just in case). The skills to do the surgery thru my mouth was originally developed by surgeons in Taiwan , they did have to split my jaw though and bolt back together. 2 months after I had healed they then gave me a month of 5 days/week targeted radiation on my throat. But I was also give as an experiment ‘anifostine’ as a large subqtanious injection just before radiation to protect me from the burning effects (internal sunburn) of radiation. A method first tried in Turkey! The drug was developed to give to soldiers just before the got exposed to nuclear bomb radiation ! It worked amazing and I had did not get the peeling skin and blistering in my throat usually associated with this type of radiation treatment. I also did not have to have all my teeth removed as did 2 other people who had similar radiation and surgery in a similar time frame ( one did not make it as foodie who could deal with no normal food). Today I have dry mouth from the radiation (no chemo). The saliva glands and taste buds get effected by the radiation. Only half my throat swallows as a lot of nerves were removed on the right side of throat when they removed the lymph nodes contaminated with waste cancer. These nerves control the muscles. ( well something like that). Mayonnaise is my friend I use it with every bite/meal as it’s the best lubricant for swallowing along with a hot drink, tea or coffee. Cold water etc does not help much. I have just started on a saliva boosting drug , not seen much effect yet. So all in all I’m doing just fine, I have annoyingly a lot of acid reflux, supposedly unrelated (but I think lack of saliva washing down my throat does not help). I avoid those foods people thing are ‘juicy’ like steak as it’s really dry and it makes your saliva glands work overtime creating the juicy watery mouth (that I don’t have!). My taste is essentially normal, I almost never drink but a Guinness before a meal goes down ok but after the first bit of food tastes like the first beer you had as a teenager , awful! Any other beer or wine is just as overpowering. However English real ale when I visited GB would slip down beautifully so prehaps a reason to return to the uk now I have sold my businesses and retired! Rather long winded comment but you can relate I’m sure and anybody else in the same situation too maybe. All the best Cheers Warren Time to fix up my Albin27!

Roger, thank you so much you are a star. I just had been given a v10 by my mother-in-law and she has now bought the V 11 because the V10 was having the same problem as you did. I took it all apart cleaned every crevice and still the same problem, I until I just seen your video and I changed the filter off my other V 10 onto my mother-in-laws V10, and hey presto, it worked. I have had my V10 for almost 5 years, and I clean my filter every month and still working. Once again, thank you so much. Roger👍👍👍

Very interesting, Roger; thank you. As you suggest, I will share with others where appropriate.

My dad used to organize the fete every year for Rendham Village but they only got a field to have it in not a lovely country garden. Cheers Warren

yes i agree the BEST ICW videos and total overall trip(s). Thank you for that and well wishes to you and family

Best ICW videos on youtube. I still watch them to this day. Best wishes to you.

Thanks for sharing your story. Sorry you had to go through that experience. I’ve followed your channel since the ICW trip content many years ago and enjoyed seeing you make the most out of life. I can certainly relate to the stomach injections. I have unfortunately had a complication of Covid that meant I had 5 months of 2 injections a day. Was great to finally stop that! Best wishes for the future

I changes a new filter but it doesnt work,i press the booster mode its work not the medium mode its not rolling

Very helpful. Thank you.

Very helpful, thanks very much!

No lifejacket, personal beacon, jacklines or harness along with problematic lack of fitness - 5 strikes and yer out

Well taught. Thank you.

Hi! I like the video. I'm more of a BSAP fella myself, but I always do like the tales of the "black devils" rolling out. Question though, always been curious: Did the Rhodesian Security Forces have any firefighting units? Or was firefighting supplied by local brigades around the country?

Same issue after two months of use, Dyson did however send me a new one free. Anyway, Dyson vacuums are extremely sensitive. I had been using mine to pick up joint compound dust (with small attachment tool) and it quickly clogged up everything and basically ruined the filter. Even after a thorough cleaning with compressed air tool, the filter was faulty/ruined. Now If I’ve got a pile of dirt/dust, etc., I’m careful to get most of it up with a dustpan and broom first, then vacuuming remaining.

I have a question. Did the RhACR have a formal uniform of their own or was it still army dress greens? Because the only parade footage I've managed to find has the crews in their black jumpsuits, never dress.

Thank you for this useful advice.

Thanks Roger. I had the same problem with a Dyson v10 Absolute although I had two filters which it did it with - I was alternating the filters whilst one was drying. I read online that the filters (even with washing) need to be changed every 3-6months so I think the material must degrade over time & effect the suction. I bought two new filters a few months ago & problem solved…in actual fact the suction is the best it’s ever been😂

I have the same problem. I’m ordering a new filter now lol thanks 🙏

Thanks this was very helpful. You are the David Attenborough of vacuums sir

I had exactly the same issue and your video was extremely helpful! Thank you! 😊

I just completed watching the series for the second time. I'm preparing to buy an Albin 27 SE for use on the ICW in New Jersey and on the Chesapeake Bay. This series helps me understand the vessel and it's potential. Thank you Smacksman

I live near Charleston, SC. I saw your A-27 (free State) and followed your travels on her to New Orleans. I had three different A-27's over the years - mostly on the Chesapeake Bay. Did the ICW from Annapolis, Md to Key West and back to Charleston. A great adventure - and a great boat, I thought.

Seems a lot of motoring vice sailing ??

sorry, but you must be kidding. jargon city!

"RFP for the operation of the George-Knysna line In late 2021, Transnet Freight Rail (TFR), the owner of the George-Knysna line, put out a Request for Proposals (RFP) from the private sector for the restoration and operation of the Outeniqua Choo Tjoe on the line. This tender closed on 19 April 2022. Two companies submitted bids. As one of these bidders, The Outeniqua Choo Tjoe (Pty) Ltd assembled a team of track repair contractors, bridge engineers, hydrologists, steam and carriage restoration specialists, tourism specialists, and tourism journalists (amongst others). Most of the members of this team were also members of the recently-completed Kruger Shalati Train Hotel on the Bridge at Skukuza in the Kruger National Park."

Congratulations on your thorough restoration of a rare survivor and your decision to return the boat to the half-deck configuration of the original. The rig would appear to be the biggest departure from the originals, which would have either had a taller mast or longer hoist for the main and not have carried a topsail. Your approach would make it more practical to add square footage to the rig without carrying an even larger main. The sandbags would have weighed between about 25 - 50 lbs and had sturdy canvas or leather "handles" to help the crew move them from leeward to windward. The few paintings and models extant show the bags placed outside the cockpit coaming. As Traditions and Memories of American Yachting makes clear, the first cat-rigged small boat (Una boat in the UK) was also shipped from the New Jersey/New York area.

Wonderful to watch. This was my last stamping grounds on SAR as a fireman. I started in Germiston then worked out of Kimberley for years on the big 25NCs and finally ended up working out of Voorbaai. After firing the fast mainlines I did find the George to Knysna line extremely easy to work. Even hand firing a GEA garratt up Montagu was easy work after Kimberley. Looking at your clip around Victoria Bay reminded me of a night we were working back to George on a class 24 when the ashpan fell off. I had to get under the engine and unbolt it to stop it dragging on the track. Once back at George I packed the drivers well polished kit into his bucket when he noticed his shifting spanner was missing. "Where's my spanner?" he asked. Of course I had left it down on the track near Victoria Bay. He knew this right away and said to me "well you best get yourself down there and go fetch it". I replied "no ways am I walking all that way for a spanner" and he replied "don't be bloody stupid, take the engine" and sure enough off I went on this class 24 alone back down the dark track. . Driving a big hissing steam loco alone along a dark forest track is extremely scary work and an experience I will never forget.

nice job buddy

We stayed by the line in 1982, and rode on it in 1984. The locos were all Class 24 Berkshires. I was told during the 1984 visit that one of them had derailed when going down the grade from George. When we came back from Knysna, at the foot of the climb back to George, it started to rain. The crew detached two goods cars from the train, and put them in a siding. Then, we had to make a request stop on the grade. You could tell the driver absolutely didn't want to come to a stop - but he had to. When he started back up the grade, the normally "slippery" 2-8-4 was guaranteed to slip!

Buying new sails for an old sailboat will pay huge dividends in speed and reliability. Don't cheap out on sails, properly designed sails for your boat are better than trying to make used sails work.

Your videos are wonderful, I spent many of my younger years learning to sail with my grandfather in the Cardigan bay area in a Thames Marine Snapdragon 24. Watching your video brings back lovely memories thank you. 😊

Come back smacksman. Let me know ahead of time and I’ll meet you on “”thumper”” and we can cruise again. Come back…….

Oh cool. I’m in the albin owner group also. I’m the 25 section. Thumper is my boat. The single cylinder Sabb. If your still active maybe you can follow along as I refurb thumper. It also has sails. But I am new to boating. And do not know anything about using sails.
