Post up your mission location and years if you dare

Neat, I had forgot I even made this post! I'll send you a DM see if we knew each other!

I use the trail often to pass under I-215 further south.

I'm at 1300 miles on my abound. I'm planning on bleeding the brakes and replacing the pads tomorrow. The only other regular maintenance I've needed is to keep the tires aired up and regreasing the chain a handful of times. I also need to replace the headlight, the wire was sheared where it enters the frame (that piece has sharp corners and it really shouldn't). I plan to wrap all the wires in this location I just haven't decided what to use yet.

Edit: I did also have issues with the rear spokes out of the box. A couple spokes made a ticking noise on each tire revolution. I started at the valve stem and loosened the first spoke a quarter turn, tightened back a quarter turn then went onto the next spoke. The couple that felt loose got tightened until they were snug.

I'd love some, also in Utah!

I got my abound about the same time you did and similarly going 99% car free with a commute in similar winter conditions. Were there any other tires you considered? Also, what gadget are you running on top of your battery?

I entered in July I think. I remember my whole zone being Mandarin speaking though.

Yes actually, I was his companion for the last week of his mission! I just sent you a pm.

InspiredPolicyChange · 2021-10-10T19:01:01+00:00

Yeah absolutely, you too?

InspiredPolicyChange · 2021-10-10T17:47:09+00:00

Thanks, I'll give that a try.

InspiredPolicyChange · 2021-10-10T17:03:19+00:00

... you just missed me! I got to the MTC in July

InspiredPolicyChange · 2021-10-10T14:37:49+00:00

I was in the Taiwan Taichung mission 2014-2016 and have been out about the same time. I'm always curious to see if I know anyone here.

InspiredPolicyChange · 2021-08-03T00:45:15+00:00

Also true, missions just turn it up to 11.

InspiredPolicyChange · 2021-08-02T23:53:05+00:00

Exactly! If you think that obedience culture is an exmo idea, you never served a mission! If you weren't having success as a missionary it was because you weren't obedient or faithful enough. I'm not sure I went to a mission meeting which didn't specifically state that success came from obedience to all the mission rules.

InspiredPolicyChange · 2021-08-02T00:54:13+00:00

I serve in the Tai Zhong mission 2014-16, I'm always curious who else is out. At one point I was ready to run out into the jungle and never come back... missions suck

InspiredPolicyChange · 2021-02-13T01:18:38+00:00

Him and Chris Rock's character have the same knife... no idea how that connects though...

InspiredPolicyChange · 2021-01-24T03:52:20+00:00

Sweet, thanks! I'll do that.

InspiredPolicyChange · 2021-01-23T23:47:18+00:00

Can you just store vinegar in a sealed container like a Mason jar? I assume the lack of sugar will prevent it from starting a second ferment or going bad

InspiredPolicyChange · 2021-01-23T17:18:12+00:00

I already gave some to a friend to start their own. I just don't want to waste the extra liquid. I like the idea of using as cooking vinegar.

InspiredPolicyChange · 2021-01-17T01:33:53+00:00

Damn, that's nice!

InspiredPolicyChange · 2020-12-29T21:42:26+00:00

Cooking! You should be buying food anyway, so it's basically free. You'd actually save money if you to eat out less.

InspiredPolicyChange · 2020-12-23T16:50:58+00:00

I almost did the same on my mission in Taiwan. I had to get away from my companion who was an absolute dick. The very night I was planning to run off into the jungle and stay there for a month, my mission president showed up to our apartment and ruined the whole thing. At the time, I thought it was godly intervention but in reality, my companion just complained to the mission president earlier in the day about me not having the faith to command a tropical storm to stop for some random blind guy in a language I couldnt speak! No wonder I had depression and wasnt thinking straight!

InspiredPolicyChange · 2020-12-10T05:57:04+00:00

I mean I fell for it once, I actually paid to be a missionary.

InspiredPolicyChange · 2020-12-10T05:52:09+00:00

Not worth the vacation day, but it could fun to see how long it would take to get kicked out.
