There's just not a lot going on right now and I just wanted a break from the internet including Hive. Seriously though, Hive is the last social platform I'm using. I just feel done with social media. Here's what's going on.
It's one thing after another with my travel plans. If it's not finances, it's weather, natural disasters or EXTREME heat. Pretty much done making excuses and have even considered closing thedudetravels.com NOTHING HAS GONE RIGHT WITH THAT PROJECT FROM THE START.
On top of that, I've had this nagging feeling to NOT travel this season and stay close to home. Can't explain it, but gotta go with my feels and my feelings are telling me not to do it! So there's that.
Surprisingly the Youtube channel is getting some interaction, but I just don't like Youtube. Even though I'm not traveling, the repair and mod videos for the DR 650 are doing OK. Sadly, I just don't feel like editing videos every time I work on my motorcycle. I don't feel like dealing with setting up cameras, working on angles and lighting, then editing the whole thing. I enjoy working on motorcycles, but apparently I hate video recording and editing.
I decided this summer, I'm doing things for me and me only. Not in a selfish way, but I just don't feel like sharing every detail of my motorcycle and travel life online. That's the harsh reality. I will post stuff on Hive though, because I like most of the people here, and it just seems funner. People are a little less serious, and a little more freindlier around these parts. So, if I decide to do anything super adventurous, I'll post it here.
My biggest adventure so far this year was a late night ride a couple hours outside the city. This is the bike parked by the Pembroke Post Office. I didn't think they still had post offices like this anymore.
Besides NOT traveling, I've been focusing on my resell business. That seems to be working out OK. I've thought about doing a resell Youtube but for right now, I'm OK with that. I just want to focus on the business, source products to sell, and get everything rocking and rolling with this. If things really take off, maybe I'll change my tune about Youtube. For now, I'll be content posting about this stuff here on Hive.
Had a garage sale over the weekend. Needed to make some space in the garage and get rid of some of the dead stock that wasn't selling on eBay. That actually went really well. I've also been doing OK on eBay, starting to get consistent. I'll be posting more about that here on Hive. I actually love sharing that stuff, it's the one super positive thing I've got going on right now.
As far as bike mods, I added a hood ornament to the front fender. I still have to swap out my rear break pads, I'll try and get to them as soon as the garage gets cleared out by this weekend's sale.
So that's about it. I just wanted to drop a line and let everyone know what's going on. Frankly, things have been a bit boring so I haven't had a lot to post about. I have been trying to pop in a few days a week though to upvote some content and see what my Hive peeps are up to.
Hope you're all having a wonderful summer. Cheers!
