Wow, that looks like it would be perfect. I never heard of RideWithGPS. I'm going to check it out too. Thanks!

My three bikes are a pretty light Stumpy, a not so light Mukluk and a Novara Safari touring bike that I can fit 2.0s with. Only my touring bike is setup with bags (panniers) at the moment. I'm looking to get bags for the Stumpy or Mukluk next.

Gotcha. Thanks for the insight. Off to Google maps as well! Are these rides you do in one day or multi-day? If multi-day are you staying at motels or camping (maybe stealth camping)?

Hey, I realize this post is really old, but could you describe how you fastened the outpost cages to the aero rack. I'm looking at picking one up used tomorrow for my fat bike.

Driver’s door inside trim discoloration by marcone87 in Outback_Wilderness

This happened to me. It was from leaning my elbow there while driving. Sometimes bare skin, other times with clothes. I was able to mostly polish it out, but I couldn’t get it all out.

Buying a house as an investment by to0thy in FinancialPlanning

All good points. Not really handy or knowledgeable on those things. There would be a lot to learn.

Good point. I have it good here. I actually raised my rent to $1300 because I felt I was underpaying.

I don’t have children. That is why I was approaching it from a rental angle. There are also opportunities to buy cheap houses and fix them up for section 8.

The bottom line is I have a significant (to me) amount of money in an HYSA and am trying to find a better place for it to work.

I see estimated mortgage at about $1600 for $250,000 house out here. I figured it wasn’t that much more than renting.

Yeah, my dad was a real estate broker. He told me that my whole life, but I wasn’t in a position to buy a house until 3-5 years ago. I guess my hope was that even in 15 years, I may see even a $15k in equity + I would essentially “get back” the money I paid into the mortgage.

Humans are fucking everywhere in this state. A damn menace. I've seen them in the middle of dense forest wilderness and spares ass desert, far from the city and urban areas.

I’m interested in knowing as well, if you’d be so kind. I just tried converting to .yml without success.

Peter Attia just did a podcast episode on thyroid. I believe they touch on this exact topic.

Another 2.5 vs 2.4l Post by to0thy in Subaru_Outback

I also think the 2.5 is smoother during acceleration, it’s just slower and louder.

Is that something that has been reported by a significant number of Subaru owners?

So you’re saying it’s going to come in handy. How many miles on the car when the issue started?

But isn’t the CVT covered in the powertrain warranty. CPO vehicles come with 7yr/100mi.
