So I spent yet another Friday off (without pay) at Southwick Beach. Wind was NW at about 10 mph. I started out with the 4.8M NPW5 by HQ, then switched over to the 7M NPW9 by kitemaker4. My batteries, however, didn't last that long. Here is a little video of riding with the 4.8. I was riding on the State Beach area, which is usually crowded, but not yesterday. I hope you enjoy.

Funny thing is, it's right there in the box for me, and plays every time I click play. I did get the e-mail from youtube, saying my video had content owned by WMG, but it didn't say it would be blocked? I even went to my channel at youtube.com/57bobalooie and was able to play it there?

Especially ironic is the Greatful Dead is maybe one of the most bootlegged bands in history! Very tasty, but I love the chocolate sauce!

So, anyway, I tried to use youtubes edit function to swap out the music for something they offered. I'm hoping it works, but it says it will take a while. Sorry about the music, if you want, mute it and hum along with Alabama Getaway, by the dead. haha

YouTube is just plain weird - they're dynamite on music copyright but I"ve seen things posted where the video content is clearly belongs to someone else. You would think the video is the most important aspect....apparently not.

Vimeo is the exact opposite, they won't let you post anything (video) that is not owned by you. But they let you put any music to it - although they do tell you that you're not suppose to use other peoples music and if the copyright owner complains, they will pull it.

I have actually bought quite a few songs because I heard them on youTube....you would think the copyright owners would be all for it - it's free advertising that results in sales. Clearly, they do not share my view.

Sorry Bob, getting a little off topic here!
