Hans on the Rez

Videos I made  in 2001-20012

May 24, 2014

On thursday I truck broke down between Williams and Flagstaff. They were pulling a trailer with racehorses. Toad brought the trailer to the house where it is parked now.

The value of the horses is about 2 1/2 million dollars. Mexican workers are exercising the horses 2 hours in the morning, walking them in circles.

 Toad & Julie's house is a log cabin. Every 2 years the old varnish (protecting against the sun) has to be sanded off and then a new coat of varnish and 2 coats of sealer applied

2 weeks ago a storm coming from California dumped some snow in Flagstaff.

I went to Big 5 for new shoes.

 On the right the pair I bought in Germany. On the left from the Big 5. They were on sale for 30 dollars

 And yesterday. Parasols in summer formation.

Amazon Kindle Fire

I really like my Kindle Fire-HD (2012 version), it's 1 centimeter longer and wider than my E-Reader Kindle.

Battery life is around 8 hours. (with Wifi off). Internal 16Gb memory. front camera, HDMI out.
I bought the 2012 version. The 2013 version has no camera nor HDMI
Like the E-reader I can read books on it (indoors only). But it can do a lot more.
Play videos in HD, music.
Internet, fast enough to use Skype. And email.
It has the best speakers of any computer device that I own!

A lot of wind blowing from the east, but on the west side of the trailer I can relax in the sun...

I bought a refurbished Amazon Kindle Fire. 

Ina is in China, on a 3 week tour, with limited wifi access and a cell phone to make pictures. So, I'll be posting for her.
