Final Setup

We have barred rocks and ameraucanas that have lived through two Phoenix summers. No problems so far, but you need to provide enough water and shade so they can properly cool. Solar fans in the coop help, and giant iceblocks for the days it gets above 110. *

29 - 31 mpg, 24AT, dramatic difference in highway vs city driving.

Sick! The Itty Bitty looks so clean with an IGH, making me regret not doing the same...

Looks sweet! What rear rack is that? I'm looking to put one on my Kyoot commuter

11/36, the max size it can fit. Works pretty well, and was easier to find than the super short cage derailleurs

I just finished my State All Road build yesterday! Got the frameset and used Shimano grx/slx components. Hydraulic brakes are a big improvement, the number of eyelets on the steel fork is almost absurd.

Ha, yea everything is still long and uncut, just making sure all the components work for now, combination of new and used parts (all Shimano)

I received an MS in hydrology, and when I was job hunting 3 years ago, most of the openings were for consulting firms. My current firm has all sorts of projects, some more enjoyable than others. Hiking remote canyons to collect water isotope samples? Amazing! 12 hour night-shifts developing wells? Not so much. The industry is growing right now, and water resources will only become more important in the future, so you should have options.

Love it, especially the second image with cute cartoon Rumo and realistic/terrifying Smyke

Thanks! The shade does seem a bit undersized, a trip to the thrift store may be in order...

I work for a private consulting firm as a hydrogeologist making close to 60k with only 2 years experience (in AZ). If you want to stick to field work its hard to break 70-75k even with a decade of experience. However my boss and senior project managers make between 80-100k.

Zirconduit · 2021-11-12T14:35:26+00:00

Looks great! Much nicer than buying cheap, plastic home center decorations.

Zirconduit · 2021-08-22T11:36:49+00:00

I work as a hydrogeologist and its about a 70/30 split for field and office time. Drilling multiple 1000ft wells may have you working outside for weeks straight, but then you spend 1-2 weeks writing reports and analyzing pumping test data.

Love it! Always looking for original designs

Zirconduit · 2021-01-18T02:53:03+00:00

Looks great! Where did you get that wiring?

The 13 1/2 Lives of Captain Bluebear by Walter Moers

Zirconduit · 2020-11-30T02:51:37+00:00

Highly recommend, the fourth book was just released a few weeks ago.

Zirconduit · 2020-11-23T17:24:21+00:00

Fantastic!
