YouTube rabbit holes

This was from the 1950s, maybe early 60s.

In the piece I saw the couple’s daughter had to lead the horse above ground to the other end of the tunnel. If you don’t have daughter you might have to take the horse to the other end of the tunnel and tie him up there while you go back so you and your wife can ‘wall walk it’ through. If you have a son you might as well just do it yourself anyway.

More recent video on the subject. Apparently the proper term is ‘legging’.

Furniture restoration, refurbishing and flipping is the newest thing I’ve been binge watching. Also just discovered Sorted Food, English blokes-- ‘normals’ and chef(s)-- cooking. Love to find a channel that’s been around for years. So many videos!

Good. I was afraid they might have to swim behind the boats.

Me too, specifically reactions to “Lola” by the Kinks. I want to see whether they get what the song is about. They’re batting about 500.

One of two things normally.

  1. Finding and watching weird cartoons from my youth - such as Adventures of the Galaxy Rangers or Starblazers.

  2. Covers of music, often video game or movie music.

Never miss an opportunity to post this video.

That’s Foxes Afloat, one of the more popular canal boat channels. They recently sold their boat and have bought an old house in Scotland.

A fair number of narrowboat YouTubers do seem to be giving it up and settling back down to life on land lately. Wonder what that says about the lifestyle?

Both Foxes Afloat and Travels By Narrowboat had some negative scenes where they had theft , went through bad experiences in areas of the canals they couldn’t avoid or , in Kevin on Travel’s by Narrowboat case, outright assault coming home on NYE. I wondered if that had something to do with Foxes Afloat jumping ship though I stopped watching them when they moved to the farm. That being said, we did really go down that narrowboat rabbit hole during Covid especially and found the shows especially interesting but also strangely soothing (the put put of Aslan especially).

The “can opener” bridge videos, in which oversized vehicles are filmed going through an underpass - showjng what’s left of their roof. So many sich incidents there that there’s a permanently mounted camera to catch the scenes.

Unfortunately, with the bridge being raised by 8-inches about three years ago, the collisions have become much more infrequent.

In a similar vein GTOger, where people parking in a tech company’s 24/7 no-parking zone in an entertainment zone get towed practically stopped with the COVID shutdown. It hasn’t posted anything in over a year and that was chasing a squirrel around.
