Ugh.
Looks like we’re hung. And not in a good way.
It’s 1am here, so I’ll have to work it out tomorrow. Sorry.
I’m not having much luck with video lately, am I?

Learning curve.
As I recall, you have not in the past posted video. So this is a new and exciting development. . .but like all such, there are, um, issues with the shakedown cruise. We know you’ll manage it, and are prepared to wait graciously. . .Well. MOST of us are prepared to wait graciously.

Kerosene, yeah…my old man had to use a hand crank upload because we were too poor to buy the kerosene. Life was tough back in the day.
I’ve uploaded to you-tube a couple of times and it took forever, even at my modern woodstove powered Internet connection data transfer rates. I feel your pain.

Whenever I have an upload that seems to die, I just cancel it and start over. It seems to go faster. Kind of reminds me of the old Y-modem and Z-modem days.

Kerosene? Pah! I have to fill my computer with coal and water before I can log on. Young people don’t know they’re born nowadays.

Then there is having to use the chamber pot (thunderbucket) and making one’s way to the outhouse, in a blinding snowstorm, using corncobs when the Sears-Roebuck catalog papers ran out.

Young whipper-snappers and all this newfangled indoor plumbing.

Well… lazybone whiners – in MY day if we wanted to upload a video, first we had to go catch a sabretooth tiger….

All of that stuff was probably more reliable and efficient than the solar wind crap they’re trying to foist on us nowadays.

For gebrauchshund:
To quote one of the greatest movies of all time:
“Shirley, you can’t be serious!”
Yeah, I know that’s not how it was spelled in the script…
