Hey.
So @Sundance and I were messing around on Bsky today and I kinda came up with a weird/fun idea for cargo hauling.
I have eventual need of a heavy duty hauler capable of replacing a small truck for hauling stuff to the farmer's market. this is the baseline that started the brainstorm.
I...
Hey so thanks for starting this thread and providing all this great info!
I had an incident about 2 weeks ago where an aggressive driver pulled a gun on me, and it got me thinking that I need a rear camera as well as a helmet/sunglasses mounted one.
yeah the dude drove up alongside and...
That's it. That's the whole thing. I saw a fella on a UA riding down college station rd in Athens GA today while I was on my way to have tacos with a friend.
it felt special.
like when birders spot a new one, or like a mega or something.
birdwatching for bikes, lol
Hey so in dog news,
we still haven't found out how much the surgery will cost, but if y'all want to help, Athens Canine Rescue will accept donations.
here's the page.

select "Other" and type in just like this screenshot:
They had to start calling...
Got the final few trees marked when I did the walk-through today with the ACC Community Forester. five more miles down.
Cool thing though, I ran into a lady who came over and asked about my Dog trailer. turns out she is the lady with like 4 kids that has been riding around on a...
DAY 3 of the project.
Today I went out and marked the 485-ish trees that needed to be removed with BarkMark blaze orange paint using a Hudson backpack sprayer (yeah, I used to do beastmode stuff where I'd load up with 4 gallons of paint and work for 10 hours straight marking thousands of...
love it, and I have a spare kickstand!!!
lol the only thing I could think of to schnazz it up a bit would be to attach a paintball grenade to the end of the flag.
but I have a suspicion that this would not be amusing to the cops.
PUPDATE
Courage was adopted today, and Joy is now with a foster family in the local rescue organization.
I am so thoroughly pleased to have had the opportunity to help them both.
hoping to have good weather tomorrow so that I can work on the bark park timber project again.
PUPDATE
Taking the week off from being able to do timber stuff, but the Girls are having an absolute blast. Shots from the dog park last night and Brought them on errands today
lol very few people know em by that name, so it's always fun when folks catch on.
yeah so with the Globemaster system, the rollers are in the floor of the cargo bay. the pallets have a flat bottom where the rollers are and you can just push them. it wouldn't be hard to modify a hand truck or...
So.
big take-away from all this dog rescuing is that I need to get a bike setup capable of hauling more than just Elias.
but boy howdy, I'm stoked that I have the trailer because it's the only way to walk three dogs with VERY different personalities to the dog park
Joy and Courage are...
that's what I'm working on right now. I messaged the 15outof10 foundation, as well as the local Humane Society. I've had several friends say they'd contribute for the surgery costs, but it'll be a heavy lift still.
my dog has been giving me so much side-eye for this.
Hey! Welcome!
oh yeah for sure, power arms and torsos would defs help.
one of the things I have been thinking about is getting a Carla and retrofitting it with a deck system similar to a C17 Globemaster. frickin wheels built into the floor with special aircraft pallets that help with rapid...
lol there was no alternative. Look at these two. You know you would have no choice.
Joy's vet bill clocked in at over 500, and her jaw is fractured at the joint, causing the lock jaw. that surgery will cost $5K.
reaching out to find a foster/forever home right now, and trying to get help re...
