I was one of the first to herd sheep with a drone in NZ. 2017 proof of concept. Had those Kiwis pasted to my screen. What a hoot !

Herding sheep in NZ with my Mavic Pro
You need a hollywood-style cattle herding soundtrack played from a speaker on the drone to move them along faster (with gunshot sound bites, and John Wayne's voice of course). That was a pretty cool demo.

Note: I checked the date of your post so, my dementia's in remission (hopefully).;)
 
Gully Monster has been closed and blocked off for many years. Checked it out still mostly ridable. Not a fast trail as lots of sharp corners so easy to fall in to Gully . Pictures don't capture the steepness.

Looks like a cool trail. Those conditions reminds me that I actually had to clear a stick from my bike today. Very unusual for the desert.
Yes there was a lot of stuff getting caught in derailleur and disks for both of us. Too easy to break something.
 
Stuntman Simon :D
The very same. He doesn't know you but he obviously does . Meatbike meant nothing too him. Had his fair share of injuries these past couple of years. Im not so keen to tie up with him usually been at Tarland now that he has Amflow. So either I have to use turbo on climb or he has to slow down.

He knows me as Lee.

I can't imagine he's ever too keen to slow down :D
 
Not sure where to put this, so in here will do.
Interesting!

I believe a lot of EVs can do vehicle-to-grid (or put it another way, send electricity stored in the vehicle back out). I think Hyundai's Ioniq 5 has a standard plug socket in the back for this very purpose. Picture I saw was a TV, PS5 being used in a layby...

Pity I couldn't do it with my Hyundai Hybrid. I priced one of those inverters £££££ . Just keep using an occasional camping site I think. Tarland is up and running again I heard the Toilets were condemned so no tents were allowed for a couple of years, all ok now and not far from Ballater 😉

only the picture, but it is a reality. New release today.
 
Here’s my travel charger solution. No chargers on the ground (or falling off things) , dual charger umbilical. Folds up and away, nice and tight.
I removed my RVs outdoor kitchen (it was lame) and turned it into a bike workshop (not lame). I can boondock for 7 days pretty comfortably. All the tools and amenities I would have at home.

Love the bundle of kindlers lying ready for the fire.

That's a nice setup you got. I only see one problem, orange grips on a pink bike, really? Don't get me wrong, I like orange (orange Levo carbon comp) but that won't fly even on Capitol Hill ;). I'm thinking your down to black, grey, purple or pink to not clash.

It’s red but I see orange a bit too . It’s my wife’s, therefore I don’t care. It looks pretty good to me. She picked her own colors.

Sure enough,they're red alright. It must have been the outdoor lighting that made them look orange. The pink zip-ties are a nice touch. My daughter would love your wife's bike.

If you don't mind my asking, where do you ride? I'm a former Seattleite and we used to ride in Capitol Forest (if we wanted to make the long trek) and the Novelty Hill area back in the 90's. Our old riding areas at Novelty Hill are now housing developments.

All over. From Ashland OR, Oakridge OR, to Bigsky MT. Whistler, Whitefish, honestly all over the PNW. Tiger MT, Duthie are regular spots.
Concentrated on the Cascade Range this summer.
