Love the guy-he wrote one of only about three accessable books on military logistics, and writes stylishly.

Or perhaps I'll actually start worrying about following the talking preppers that don't video or write. I just hate audio, in general. Much prefer visual.

Download all your videos and music you can as quickly as you now can (unless you are already paying per gigabyte of download - like on a cellphone plane, in which case nothing much changes for you.JJGreyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06708302086326564665noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2686829448547770092.post-90951889999751219602018-01-01T18:51:51.269-08:002018-01-01T18:51:51.269-08:00Thanks for the info.

Here's ..."audio books on YouTube..."<br /><br />Here's something to consider if you're downloading them to listen to at a later date:<br /><br />YouTube videos are in the .mp4 (video and audio streams) format and are larger than .mp3 files that contain only the audio stream. (The video stream for audio books is usually just a constant image of some text or a single graphic but it's still treated as a video stream.) Not a big deal unless you have a slow connection.<br /><br />If you do decide to download the .mp4 and only want the .mp3 to transfer to a player you can extract the audio stream to an mp3 file using the convert/save function in the free VLC video player ( https://www.videolan.org/vlc/ ). Instructions on using VLC to extract the audio to an mp3 file are on the internet - for example: https://www.howtogeek.com/howto/2719/how-to-convert-video-files-formats-to-mp3-with-vlc/Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2686829448547770092.post-12935792813160014232018-01-01T13:24:04.556-08:002018-01-01T13:24:04.556-08:00search audiobooks on youtube.

The old bike is held together by duct tape and I'm only using it half as long ( 20 minutes instead of 45 ) to get it to stretch out until the new one arrives by mail. And the leather, well, I'm rather nervous I don't have a way to attach the bayonet. Everything I buy, I'm trying to sooth the panicky voice, and this one did wonders!James M Dakinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01382139289994087931noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2686829448547770092.post-42702434271254837082018-01-01T10:02:26.364-08:002018-01-01T10:02:26.364-08:00I had never heard of them-thanks.I had never heard of them-thanks.James M Dakinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01382139289994087931noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2686829448547770092.post-33653806722945640342018-01-01T08:48:47.016-08:002018-01-01T08:48:47.016-08:00"I'll be downloading music....Stuffing ci..."I'll be downloading music....Stuffing cigarettes can get boring and music helps."<br /><br />Have you considered downloading free audio books from LibriVox ( https://librivox.org/ )" The site links a huge collection of public domain (copyright-free) books that are read by volunteers. Some of the readers have great voices and can make a good book a real pleasure to listen to. I've downloaded full books but mostly I like the short story collections - each story is usually just the right length to listen to in their entirety while performing a home task or daily commute.

They are recordings from cameras placed on the handlebars of bicycles that are traveling scenic routes (like Yellowstone) or just ordinary roads. Here's just one channel for those sort of videos - https://www.youtube.com/user/CycleScenery<br /><br />"I had plans to make it last for awhile, but that was wishful thinking. I just went on an orgy of consumption..."<br /><br />From the minion who gave you the card - GOOD FOR YOU! When you mentioned in your "thank you" email that you were going stretch it out I was hoping that you would change your mind and instead use it to get some of the items you needed but wouldn't normally consider buying. Glad to see that you did exactly that :-)<br /><br />"If you all weren't contributing, I couldn't be doing this."<br /><br />You write great stuff, we donate so that we can continue reading your great stuff. Sounds like a real 'win-win" to me!<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
