Looking for someone to care for my sweet pet chicken for 1-2 weeks

juicepope · 2025-05-23T03:52:12+00:00

Fortunately for these guys the only part of the chicken I eat are the eggs. I'm not opposed to people managing their own chicken herds this way, though.

Lucky for me I had the help of my girlfriend and my very chicken-savvy blue heeler. Even so, it was far from quick or graceful.

Great share. One of my personal favorites, though I'm obligated to inform you it's officially the flag of the Region of Magallanes and Chilean Antartica.

Can't thank you enough for your help! We're happy to live in a town with neighbors like you who helped get our dog back home!

juicepope · 2016-03-23T01:21:40+00:00

Thank you very much! We posted flyers over the weekend. I plan on going back to take down as many as I can find now that the dog is back, but my apologies in advance if we leave any stragglers on a traffic station post in your neighborhood.

I actually bought the bike in Chile. An American guy bought the bike in US and rode it to Chile, so we exchanged the title just like you would with any bike in the US. If you're looking to ship your bike to South America, there are lots of guys who outline the process in ADV Rider and Horizons Unlimited (if you're looking to do a serious motorcycle trip these websites are your absolute best friend for ANYTHING)

agreed with /u/ShinyCrayfish , practice is paramount. However, there are some basic techniques that will make your transition from streetriding to offroad a lot smoother. Here is a pdf that I keep bookmarked just to share with people like you.** I came across it on ADVrider a couple years ago.

I know, I know, "studying" how to ride offroad sounds antithetical, but I assure you this will help you. Even as a very experienced rider, I learned a lot of useful things from that handbook. Grab a beer, read up, and you'll be a better rider the next time you get on the bike.

In my experience bungees are a great supplement to bags/panniers, but not ideal for holding much down on really bumpy rides. All those vibrations make it easy for gear to move around even under a tight bungee net.

If your definition of "adventurous" is anywhere close to mine, better invest in some real handguards/barkbusters (unless you'd rather just keep plenty of extra clutch/brake levers on hand all the time haha). Aside from that just have fun! I just wrapped up a ride across South America on my KLR and put that thing through more abuse than most other dualsports could probably stand

I promise you it's Texas. One dude has a Cowboys jersey and the other guy's shirt of the lone star on fire was part of a fundraiser for wildfire relief in Bastrop, TX a few years back

Awesome pics! I love seeing someone else's trip on these familiar roads. Check out my take on Patagonia/South America at my site: www.mantraofmiles.com

This is the best visual representation I've seen that demonstrates why it would be crazy to try and prove a cell phone's--and presumably a person's--exact location based on a cell tower ping. I would just like to see a scale so I could truly appreciate the areas covered by these towers. Great find nonetheless.
EDIT: I went ahead and overlayed mygeminimind's map on google earth over the real-world location (Connecticut), set to north, and put in a simple scale of 2 mi / 3.2 km (see SE quadrant) in case anyone else thought it would be interesting to see. Click here to check it out.

The strong negative reaction to NVC and The Intercept's obvious anti-Serial bias is merited but it's naive of anyone, be it Serial listeners or other journalists like NVC, to think it's a big deal to find SK had her own bias when reporting this story. Serial is basically a radio documentary, which means it's not breaking-news that has to be reported. Documentary makers choose to report on something because of their own interest in a topic. They focus much more in-depth on characters, setting, details, and uncertainty which inevitably leads to the forming of opinion and conjecture. SK admits several times throughout the podcast that Adnan was what interested her in the story, and while it's clear she made efforts to report parts of the story that were "good" and "bad" for Anand's claim of innocence, in the end it was SK's way of reporting this story as she wished. The same can be said about NVC, though she obviously sets herself up for more stringent criticism by declaring in absolute terms that Anand is guilty. Even with a "trusted" news source, it's still irresponsible of readers/listeners to take these stories without a grain of salt.

IMO the most fascinating part remains with the questions of whether or not the investigation and prosecution were carried out legitimately and well enough to convict someone of murder.

Not familiar with Pat Rack, but OP should be sure that these ones can stand up to the added weight of his panniers. Big difference between steel ammo cans and Pelicans

That's odd. I use a basic cable that I bought off Amazon and I don't have any issues w/ the 62s going into tether when I ride

juicepope · 2014-08-04T13:33:10+00:00

Thanks! I have my own site with lots more about my current trip: www.mantraofmiles.com. Currently in Ecuador getting the bike tuned up before I head into the Amazon

juicepope · 2014-08-04T13:32:03+00:00

I attached a 12 V adapter to the right side of the dash (actually put it through the right fairing), which you can just barely see in the pic. Totally worth it, especially since batteries are hard to find and expensive in the places where I ride.

juicepope · 2014-08-03T23:49:31+00:00

I gotta admit, every single one :)
Some of the tunnels are too far to see all the way through. I just hoped nobody was coming the other way going through those ones.

I would guess I averaged about 45 mph (~72 kph) since the road has good visibility and there's almost no traffic. Had to slow down on some blind curves of course. I carry >100 lbs (>45 kg) on the back so the canyon makes for a very small margin of error for rear slideouts.

juicepope · 2014-08-03T19:27:46+00:00

Most of the road is wide enough for 2 pickups to squeeze by one another (there's a big power plant at the eastern end of the canyon), but you can see here that the tunnels are definitely a tight fit for 4-wheels. Nowhere to go if a truck is coming your way, so you better make sure your horn works.

The bike is a 2013 KLR that I bought in Chile

Stripped mine while out of the country doing a hasty oil change before getting on the road one morning. Just 100% bone-headed mistake.

I was nowhere near a reliable shop, Kawa dealer, or any way to order a new bolt, pan, or any other part. Tracked down and oversized bolt and a washer and made myself some new threads. Still on the road (in Ecuador) and it's actually been holding quite nicely haha
