The video explains itself...

Why pay a moving van when you can drive your furniture home.

DIY moving.

Questions?

I was out and about before anything got really messy. A crowd was gathering at the congreso building as I was wheeling around. A friend asked me to snap some shots or video when things are going nuts here. I guess I am playing the part of a citizen journalist of sorts.

Funny how you can have the sidwalk and foreground all level in front of you, but then the huge building in the background seems to be build uneven. This was taken with my phone and I was hoding it level.

The video shows what the plaza looks like today as they attempt to put down new sod and water it. Then you have a bunch of protestors who have a different idea. They want to petition their government about the price of food.

I just got home from the #HiveMeetupArgentina and what a day it was.

This is the last video I can post today. The others had technical difficulties, some of which were just shoulders or backs of heads. I have audio though - with some editing, I may be able to put together another video for the people who could not attend. These are especially great for those who wanted something in #spanish - I hardly ever post in Spanish because my spelling might be wrong or the words I chose may be laughable.

I got it in one take. This is the last part which is the raffle and prizes part.

It was low risk that anything would go wrong with the video because I never win anything. But by the end of the day, I had people thinking that I wrote the code used to "randomly" select five @usernames for the raffle prizes.

Here was the first prize of the first raffle...

Watch for the guy with the little guitar - a song after my own pineapple!

I won't say anything else about the contents of this video - spoilers.

These things were different, which is something rarely seen here in this part of the world. I was told that they are found in Venezuela a lot. There is a large population of people from there escaping monetary collapse.

I have had these dough things with hot dogs inside, but these were cheese filled. The sauce had cilantro in it. I had opted to eat a doughnut when snack time came but I had to try these when they came out.

I snapped a shot of the place that makes them if anyone needs to know where they are from. (comments section)

Like I said, I will try to put up any usable footage of the rest of the talks.

## Big moving day!

My son moved out about a year ago because he wanted some privacy with his better half, which is understandable.

They had moved out a year ago to a "hotel familiar" where they had one room with a shared kitchen and several shared shower/bathrooms. These are common here in Argentina. I even lived in one of these years ago before moving to the city center.

This week, they rented an apartment outside the city. It is a bit far away, see the map in the video, but they are right near the train and closer to the electric bike, wheel, and scooter shop where he works repairing these amazing vehicles.

Here is a picture of my youngest as we prepped to up end the bed and fix a weak or broken leg on it.

I had to make a video and get the new apartment walk through uploaded so that we have an idea of when this nice young couple got into their first rental apartment. The move was on the eight of October and it took me this long to get to transferring the pictures and video to my computer.

It is only five minutes long, but you will have a chance to see what $35,000 Argie-pesos would get you in the way of rental property. If you are still calculating life's costs in u$s that is $121.00 per month.

If you can find a way to make bux on-line (hint-hint Hive), then you can just convert the tokens and use Satoshi Tango to pay all your bills.

I set this post to encode when I got home from the #HiveMeetupArgentina - Failed as did one other. This is the rewrite. Glad I got to add a few photos to it.

This is the last raw video on the #HiveMeetup. Any others that follow will have excerpts with photos if I can put them together. There were some technical difficulties, some of which were just shoulders or backs of heads.

This video covers the last part of the conference with a double raffle. I got it in one take. There will be an investigation as to who wrote the code for the randomized picker. Scandal-watch! It was low risk that anything would go wrong with the filming of this video because I never win anything but then by the end of the day, I had people thinking that I wrote the code used to "randomly" select five @usernames for the raffle prizes.

Here was the first prize of the first raffle...

Watch for the guy with the little guitar performing a nice little song after my own pineapple!

I won't say anything else about the contents of this video - spoilers.

For those of you who are used to my English only videos this one is one you will understand. I can post something in #spanish from my account as long as I am not the one speaking the Spanish. I am self conscious of my spelling or or pronunciation might be wrong. I get loads of laughs when I choose the words or put them in the wrong order.

It was a great meetup with lots of cool prizes and so much #Hive merch everywhere you looked. Even in the plants.

I have had these dough things with hot dogs inside, but these were cheese filled. The sauce had cilantro in it. I had opted to eat a doughnut when snack time came but I had to try these when they came out. Really good!

Like I said, I will try to put up another video with some of the great info I captured on audio. We really need to do this again!

## Welcome Message

This presentation was given by @numa26 introducing some of the organizers of #HiveMeetupArgentina and where they are from.

I can't say that I understand everything I hear in #spanish and I do not usually make Spanish a part of my posts because I worry about spelling and word choices that usaully bring snickers when I talk in my second language.

This is a huge step for Hive in Argentina and I met at least twenty new users some yet to get an account and others who had @usernames but did not know how to make a blog post well.

Here is the plan for speakers and breaks.

first try on site did not encode - I needed to reupload and rewrite the post.

what is it like to arrive at the first #HiveMeetUpArgentina ?

Well, the video has a slow start sI wait for the elevator to take me up to Cowork Obelisco, where the event is being held, but what a getting I got.

Then I had several people hovering me the full Argentino welcome, including a hug and the customary kids on the cheek.

This video shows all of the above with a pause while I say hello to each and every one of the some 37 attendees. Then I do a quick deep of the facility.

This is the first video of many - I don't have editing capabilities on site, so the videos will be raw and the written naration short.

This one only covers my drive to the place. Caution as I arrive cuz there is construction right outside the door of the building where the #HiveMeetupArgentina is happening.

## Its the first warm day of spring!

I took the day off and did 13 miles (21km) in the nature reserve, plus the to and from home.

Join me on my Kingsong S18 as we do six hours of walking in less than an hour. But that doesn't mean I was going fast the whole time. I did not add any music this time because I wanted to test a home made anti wind noise solution and I want to see how many sounds will be picked up

At higher speeds, I can still talk 18" from my phone while it is in the stabilizer. Both loud and soft sounds are picked up just fine.

There is the city and Puerto Madero on one side (west) and the Rio de la Plata on the other (east),with lots of trails and wildlife in between. I even saw a fisherman checking his covid-flab, but I did not see it until I was editing at home.

People have seen me on the S18 and other unicycles for almost ten years, but they seem to be surprised that I am not on a bicycle (invented in 1817) and none have moved onward to the one wheel world. I was hoping to avoid a lot of the screaming and pointing (plus questions on how it works) so I could have a quiet ride through the nature reserve.

There were some small outbursts inside and a bunch of wows as I exited the reserve.

Although my hands are free as I drive with my feet, it is still hard to drive well, while manipulating a joystick on the gyroscopic stabilizer. I will do more dialogue now that I know that wind noise is not a factor. What do you think (suggest)?
