D-Snapping Progress on The Landrover
Every day, @riverflows gets a shed update by @beaker303. Every day! And now you can too, dear Steemians - if I have to be tortured, so do you all. Naah, only joking - I love his energy and enthusiasm as he talks to me about things I have no idea about, like bushes and leaf springs and u-bolts. Today, I said - can you tell me in less than a minute? Somehow, I tricked him into doing a D-Snap AND keeping the mechanic chatter down to a minimum - gosh, I'm clever.
Some of you know about Buttercup - she's our Series 3 Landrover. I usually forget this, but she's in the photo with me under the text in every post I've written in months! Funny how things become invisible after a time.
She was running fine, until J. decided to pull her to bits and rebuild her. If you'd like to see a more detailed post of where he was at about a month ago, you'll find that here. We're planning to take her around the world, well, overland from Australian to London via China and Mongolia and some other places. I'm totally terrified of the whole idea, but to be honest, I'm less terrified of that than doing my own D-Tube Snap!
Hopefully I'll overcome my fear of Dtube before I go on this journey! Image Source
Would you like to recieve occasional updates on the Landrover rebuild?
Would you like to know what colour we're painting her this week, as we constantly change our minds?
Would you like to know what other things goes on in Jim's Shed?
Have you done this overland trip, or part of it, and would you please give us as many tips as you can?
Oh, and if you can guess what colour we're painting her this week, I'll give 1 SBI to the Steemian who guesses right first! You can read about our colour musings here.

What a fascinating journey that would be and oh the stories you would have to tell! That is something I'd have been more interested in in my younger days but travelling right now doesn't really interest me that much - I have so much to explore right here in my own back yard. I'm going to again attempt to get my first video up on Dtube and also try a Dtube snap. Wish me luck! I'm watching for your first Dtube snap - heck you took the mike on the Natural Medicine LIVE chat show Dtube Snap will be a snap!
Haha it's really hard!!!! I still haven't managed!

I'm still trying to get my first Dtube video to load then I will try the Dsnaps! It starts to load then says there was an IPFS error! the video will play but it says there is no video there when I go to submit it. Very frustrating! I wanted to do daily updates on whats happening with my indoor gardening project, etc. I'll keep trying and eventually I'll get it.
Oh its a nightmare!!!! I don't have answers for you yet. Try @mountainjewel xxxx
