    Welcome back, they are called alumina refinery’s. We have a couple of smelters south of perth. They dig it out of the ground, refine it and send it off to China. Had a lot to do with one of the refinery’s when first came to Oz. Take care.

Hopefully we can have a beer later when you're back from your trip & sort this shocking government out......with not too many calories!!!!. Regards Mike.

    Welcome back, Chris! You've been missed. Glad to hear that everything has been going well on the job. Oh, please do chat a bit more about how aluminum is refined from the ore. That's fascinating tidbits of metallurgy that may interest more than myself--understanding how things I normally take for granted are actually made. Or not, if you don't like lecturing people. In any case, good to see you again! --Dan

    So super to see you back, you don’t realise how good you are. Mark didn’t find the aluminium boring as he knows all the ins and outs of aluminium cable 😂. We have our boat Chris since your last vlog. In a marina love it and go out when we can as still working, and will CC when we retire next year but as you said will use marinas when needed as there are some great positives. You look great, face totally relaxed and healthy. like us doing the no processed food and I also now started following a weights and yoga lady, after crick we were like oh my gawd we look shattered and gained pounds that were not liked. Love the boat life and love your vlogs, whenever they are they and are very much appreciated. Hope to say high one day ❤❤

Nice to see you back again Chris, you’re saving me from getting sucked into the endless menagerie of political videos that get me with shocking titles. I swear I’m not going to watch them as they are stressful with dire predictions but then another one comes along😂. I’ll be glad when that is over ,😅but now Canadian politics are kicking off and I will have to pay proper attention to that.

They've all been saying the same thing and using the same AI generated B Roll. I'm slowly stating I don't want to see content from those AI generated vids. AI generated thumbnails wind me up too. They all sensationalise and strangely shape our minds. Keep strong Jilli. All the western world is suffering.

    Hi Chris,
    Welcome back, you are looking well. I will be looing forward to your next vlog as I have the past ones.
    I have a question for you, as you are a solo boater. "How do you prevent your boat from getting hung up on the sills when you are going down in a lock?".

    Alberta, Canada

    • @chrismears-inslowtime
      @chrismears-inslowtime  9 часов назад

      Interesting point Mark. I'll do a vid on it. In short: I'm not complacent and I use the centre line to ensure I'm able to control the boat regardless of double or single locks. It's my home and I want to keep it afloat. It is one of the extra things of solo boating.

    Hi, firstly, thank you for your service, I don’t know if it’s been mentioned but the mushroom vents are able to be adjusted for warmer/colder weather by reducing their height and also to remove by unscrewing to clean inside I assume.
    When did you start at RAF Swinderby? I went in ‘83.

    Are you alright Chris? This is the ramblings of a madman. Random inner thoughts and sporadic video clips. What have I just watched? A mental breakdown? I hope not.

      Wow you sound like a guy I know. Assuming something that is bs. Chris seems just fine to me. But you seem very negative and want to push that on to him!
