Almost makes me wish I'd gone into teaching, who else has vacation time at the end of the year so they can spend two weeks straight in a tunnel?



What I want to know is how on earth Squeak can afford (on a teacher's salary) to tour the world for two years and then spend 2 months in the tunnel...


And that still has him a week short of beating the record set by the Chilean miners.:P

It was one year travelling the world.
in 2014 I am spending 6 months in South America (no not in prison) :)affording it is easy, I dont drink, dont smoke, dont do drugs, own my own home. drive older cars (cars are boring) and buy, ride and rebuild older motorbikes.
I dont do without when i want something enough.
I dont do bucket lists either, if it warrants writing on said list JUST DO THE FRIGGIN THING.

(Serious question)

How long does it take you on average to rebuild a bike?? And is that a hobby or full-time?

Serious Answer
How longs a piece of string.
It depends on the bike and my motivation. The last one (the bumble bees some saw a pic on here) took me about 3 months, including design, gathering parts from around the world (post not pick up), parts and labour.

This one i am building now, i am doing almost all the work and my motivation has waned a bit, so it's been near 12 months, and hope to have it done before i head to Eloy in December for my 9 months COACHED tunnel time:)

I don't know what he teaches, but engineering professors are quite well paid. Law professors and med. school profs make a whole lot.

(And I bought a new car yesterday:)

cars are boring



Not when they are driven like this (fast forward to the 40 second mark).

The White Porsche is driven by Sabine Schmidt, Queen of Nordschleife, fastest taxi driver in the world. Crazy women drivers. ;)


Are turn signals used to tell a driver you are going to let him pass?

Yup. I suppose one could pee in the tunnel, but the others might object.
