    We certainly don't have a set pattern like that, but we also don't have kids in schools or have spots we want to go over and over. Outside of a trip to AZ next year that's tentatively on the calendar for a race in March, generally don't plan too far ahead. I've found there's been one big...

    The DIY thread - DIYourself

    I keep forgetting that. Not sure why it's not available, at least maybe there's some available more near farm country? It's not available everywhere here either, but a few gas stations have it.

    Torque wrench suggestions?

    Basically my thought. I have 5 different torque wrenches. Some are easier to use than others as they are small and bike specific, but the "best" is a 1/4" Beam style as it's pretty much always going to be accurate. It's never the one I grab though since it's in a drawer and my 3 other small...

    Apparently we were both wrong. There was just "confusion" over this and we apparently interpreted what Kristi Noem was saying incorrectly about this. So now it's just a case-by-case basis... Well, that's clearly why it was walked back. It's 100% transparent what they were doing.

    This of course makes sense. Glad I have a flight in a week... It's seriously like the children running the government are having a temper tantrum.

    What have you done to your bike today?

    Look at the crazyguyonabike blogs. There's seriously a ton of people that have done just that. Generally young people that have no $$ and stealth camp the whole way. When I was on the Southern Tier I saw a ton of people on shitty bikes going across the country. When I did touring I did it on...

    What have you done to your bike today?

    If there's anything I've learned from the touring people, just ride whatever and don't over think it. There's enough people who do it on shitty Walmart bikes.

    Tariffs...what to make of them.

    My thoughts, and pretty sure it'll likely go this way: -There will be lawsuits. There's some LARGE companies with big $$ here. -In reality the refunds don't need to be that complex if they have a tax form for Illegal Tariff Tax Paid. Should be very easy to calculate the tax paid during the...

    Heat pumps. Who's using them?

    Did you just have to have someone sweep the property to verify there was no tank?

    I hope it's a complete and total shit show disaster. Better material for the novel he writes in retirement.
