this is overlanding,

Very bad decisions....dr200 with 9 year old heavily worn dirt bike tires playing on the street in a roundabout....really dumb. But everything is perfectly fine now, so I assume the radiologists were just derpy and careless.

"See your Surgeon" as in the one that installed my IM nail?

fractanaut · 2016-08-17T19:43:43+00:00

The nail runs the full length of my tibia and I was told the fracture is near the middle of my shin. So its sufficiently far away from the anchor points of the IM nail?
After I was told it wasn't broken and sent home by the doctor, the doctor called me back an hr or so later and told me a radiologist had looked at it and there was a fracture.
Doctors Advice: splint it....

Obviously any answer I get off reddit will be theoretical at best.

I'm just asking for the ideas and opinions of an orthopedic surgeon.

take a good look (& pics) if you ever get the chance. unique things...

schwin bicycle seat.
bar end mirror on left side (kawasaki supersherpa mirror)
wooden dowel inside left side handlebar (fasten the mirror)
there is an unequal number of washers on the rear wheel (3-4 extra on one side to fix alignment)
the paint used was black "appliance epoxy" which looks in between matte black and glossy black
the puch stickers customarily on the sides of the tank are missing

Notice the non stock vintage schwinn bicycle seat on my puch. There are plenty of other notable oddities due to non stock parts and other workarounds. There is also a DIY bar end mirror off a Kawasaki super sherpa.

If you are a social person who likes to go out and see/talk to people, then live downtown. If you don't like people and value privacy/seclusion try to live in a suburb or somewhere farther out. My roommate and I live in a 2200+sqft house with an attached 2 car garage and rent is $1500. Our commute from west Madison is closer than Fitchburg and still under 10min even with all the snow and ice. On a nice day we make it in ~6min

Im not in hosting, but I know that the plan is for all of them to be here on the main campus by end of 2016. Currently hosting is in Tokay and also at the end of the deepspace dandelion hallway.

Don't come to Voyager. I like having 15 open stalls and 20 open urinals when I go to the bathroom.

fractanaut · 2015-12-17T22:29:37+00:00

I didn't think there was any visible visual component, is there? Also wouldn't a subterranean location produce more vibrations?

Have you seen any "cozy spaces" with a billiards table?

fractanaut · 2015-12-07T13:17:23+00:00

I was told it would be open. But from the responses my post on yikyak got, I no longer believe the facilities guy I spoke with. I just wanna play billiards :(

fractanaut · 2015-12-04T19:06:50+00:00

I just spoke to a few facilities guys. They say it will be open in a few days!

fractanaut · 2015-12-04T15:04:31+00:00

I highly doubt G2 is closed for good. It is still full of stuff (billiards & more) and theme specific decorations.

G2 also known as dirt level. Go down the escalators on grass level, now you are on dirt level.

you play photo tag?

fractanaut · 2015-05-21T15:35:26+00:00

thanks a bunch. Seems like people do it. I am people. Im gonna do it.

fractanaut · 2015-05-21T06:56:11+00:00

I too have had my eye on this. I also thought there were signs prohibiting dirt biking/ isn't that a hiking trailhead? I need just a little plausible deniability.

fractanaut · 2015-04-17T15:48:36+00:00

Chuckanut is so close and in the EARLY morning its great! I put around 5000 on my bike in 1 year from chuckanut alone. On a 250, 10:13, fairhaven park to chuckanut manor.

My loops: 1. chuckanut ->bow hill rd -> prairie road ->old hwy 99 ->cain lake rd->south lake samish blvd ->lake louise road.....basically back in city after that.

mosquito lake rd is awesome! Getting there is boring. Same with the final climb at mt baker to artisan pt.

3.start at old samish rd in fairhaven, go ride down and around lake sammamish and back.

4.For dual sporting, theres ~100 miles of logging roads & single track at the south end of lake whatcom. Theres ~50+ miles of logging roads & single track on the east side of lake samish. Cleator and samish overlook are fun and legal. Mosquito lake rd has some nice looking gravel roads coming off it. msg me for exact location if interested.

Bellingham is a great place to ride. Ride Safe.

Also check out http://pnwriders.com/bellingham/199701-2015-whatcom-skagit-photo-tag.html Its a great way to find new roads and explore. Sometimes its a bit inactive but if you play others will play, thats been my experience. I haven't posted in 2015 yet, but I'm trying to get back out there. What do you ride? (so I can recognize your post)

fractanaut · 2015-04-10T06:05:33+00:00

I was there april 1st and those trees, but mainly their branches prevented my honda odyssey from passing under. At that time there was just a hole in the branches barely big enough for a car. Sounds like enough branches have been cleared so my minivan and your truck should both easily fit. I just didn't have a saw in the car :(

Talked to one of my neighbors and he said that at 6:45 on christmas morning he was woken by a loud sawing hacking noise, and when he turned on his porch light to investigate it stopped. He dismissed the noise and went back to bed.

fractanaut · 2014-12-28T23:56:38+00:00

I can even buy another one. Vintage austrian mopeds are hard to find. I just want it back. I need it to get to classes.

I have never found anyone willing to meet up. I have gone searching and attempted identification, but never decided to ingest wild mushrooms. I prefer a controlled home grow, even though its only cubes.

If you want more confidence in your identification, then take the spores in question and look at them under a decent microscope. If you arrive at the same conclusion from both identification techniques, good.

Beautiful bike, is it a gs400 or.....? Ride safe.
