I want one of these!
(Sorry about the awful music. Watch anyway, to the end.)
Keep a couple of those in a Faraday cage, against the day.
About this blog…
“This blog is like a fusion of the Baroque ‘salon’ with its well-tuned harpsichord around which polite society gathered for entertainment and edification and, on the other hand, a Wild West “saloon” with its out-of-tune piano and swinging doors, where everyone has a gun and something to say. Nevertheless, we try to point our discussions back to what it is to be Catholic in this increasingly difficult age, to love God, and how to get to heaven.” – Fr. Z

This REALLY helps! And it’s great coffee (and tea)

I use this when I travel both in these USA and abroad. Very useful. Fast enough for Zoom. I connect my DMR (ham radio) through it. If you use my link, they give me more data. A GREAT back up.
This blog has to earn its keep!
PLEASE subscribe via PayPal if it is useful.
That way I have steady income I can plan on, and you wind up regularly on my list of benefactors for whom I pray and for whom I periodically say Holy Mass.
In view of the rapidly changing challenges I now face, I would like to add more $10/month subscribers. Will you please help?

Loading ...This is really useful when travelling… and also when you aren’t and you need backup internet NOW! I use this for my DMR “Zednet” hotspot when I’m mobile. It’s a ham radio thing.
If you travel internationally, this is a super useful gizmo for your mobile internet data. I use one. If you get one through my link, I get data rewards.

Are you kidding! I would LOVE to have one of these. I wonder if there are any American counterparts to this. It is just weird to see it pulled by a handle up an incline like that, and packed?? That it tolerates water and disassembles, wow. The tires must be like inner tubes. If they have reliable motors they should be popular. Oh to have 50 acres out in the country.
Looks fun, but it’s a little expensive.

http://m.rokon.com They used to make something similar. One was restored on an episode of Pawn Stars
Is that thing made of marshmallows?
I didn’t think I’d be interested…was only watching to see if I should share with my son…
But now I want one!
Oooo. A Taurus 2×2! Very cool! I wonder if you could rig that to make it amphibious.
My initial reaction is “Cool!”
My more analytical reaction is “Hmmm. Nice. A bike rugged enough for all-terrain use and light enough to lift out of and carry over obstacles. Wait – shouldn’t I be able to ride it instead of carrying it?”
Did he just put that thing in the trunk of a Yugo?
Fascinating – thank you! (But is it a false sense of security the breadth of those tires gives me? Would I be jostled off and up to my neck in the mire in no time?)
