Going off the grid
« on: October 13, 2016, 05:59:49 PM »
No, I'm not mad at Dusty again.  I'm pulling the plug on the empty house as soon as I post this.  I'm officially homeless now, and so I'll have limited if any internet/email for the forseeable future.

Do I have a reason to be mad? If there's a reason, you'll have to fill me in.

Go to a public library and ask to use a computer.  Fed funds, equal access.  Worked for me in MN, MT, ID, OR & WA.  Broke up the rainy day in MN before the bike drowning that night.  :embarrassed:  Good luck on transplanting yourself.

That's the combustion chamber of the turbo shaft. It is supposed to be on fire. You just don't usually see it but the case and fairing fell off.

Keep well, ride safe, enjoy the ride RK.

Out here librarys have free wifi access (within reason).  Keep us informed.

I can imagine pulling the plug on an empty house is pretty tough.

Hey RK, I lived out of plastic bags 4-5 yrs, before I made my last,,, hopefully, literally last, move to where I am now. During transition, the free internet at my municipal library allowed me to stay connected to my life,,, really helped float my canoe.

Hope all goes smoothly for you. take care

I haven't been paying attention so I don't know if this is a voluntary situation.
I hope so because that's the way you want it and if that's the case I think your chances of having a good time are much greater.
If it's forced by finances or something else it's not so good and I hope you get plenty of support through a tough time.

I am sensitive to that situation at the moment because we have had to take steps to manage /damage control the way it is with our current neighbours from hell. I have been feeling kind of homeless during this time as our lifestyle has been ruined by noisy abusive gun happy idiots for most of this year.
Up till then we were living in isolated idyllic country with peace and birdsong and beauty as our companions.

So all the best Rodekyll, hope it works out for you.

The background notwithstanding, I wish you a lot of wonderful and positive experiences on the road. And I do hope you'll write about them.
