Fuck!

[yurtgirl]

FUCK! Let's hope my knee heals enough for the playa. I had arthroscopic surgery 2 days ago for a complex meniscal tear that turned out to be more than that. The doc said the MRI didn't show the extent of the damage. Well, I contacted DMV and asked about an electric bike in case I'm not up to pedaling all the time. It's okay to use one, but now I need to shop for a solar powered motor. Let's hope I don't need it and can return it unused when I get back to the default world.

[Elderberry]

Do they even make solar powered motors for bikes? And what about the night time? I can't imagine solar generating enough to power the bike let alone give enough charge to last the night. Though I very well could be fucking wrong about this.

[yurtgirl]

Well, from my quick search online, there are kits but they are so expensive and mostly experimental. I may look into a solar charging kit maybe from Harbor freight to see if it can generate enough power to run an bike. Not sure since I'm just now starting the planning for this. The e-bike kits are about $500. I still have a lot of research to do so let's hope I heal in time to do my own pedaling. Funny how life throws you a curveball right when you weren't expecting it. I'm off crutches and using just a cane now and haven't had a pain pill yet today so that says a lot for me.

You don't need special permission for a pedelec.
In theory, you need a permit for one that doesn't have to be pedaled.
You have to have a permit for gas power or a vehicle.

Solar isn't going to cut it, unless it's a big solar rig.
Use a generator, or share one and pay expenses.

You may find that a bike can be very useful in the real world anyway.
They range from the light and short distance to the cargo models capable of some distance.
Expect to need to modify the battery pack if you travel a lot, or use several.

You can get a temporary disability permit from your state and use something larger out there, golf cart, etc.
Contact the dmv for brc too.
If you can manage a bike, I suggest using a car to move large distances, then getting on the bike for neighborhood trips.
A trike is another option.
Check out the xtracycle stuff, and stokemonkey.

I posted links to bike forums on a couple of threads.
There are lots of choices out there, especially on the west coast.

Fucking knees anyhow.

I hope your knee heals in time. (BTW, you forgot to put "Fuck" in your post.)

Couldn't you just use rechargeable batteries and a solar charger at your camp? Maybe have extra batteries to swap out if/when the current ones run low. That would seem more cost effective, even with several extra batteries. Just a thought.

[MisaBlue]

Fuck, hope your knee is good for playa. Have you thought about hand pedal bike?

Fixed. Thx!

[Foxfur]

Fuck.
I put up an unusually whiny post on my facebook page and a short time later decided it was a lame post and was going to remove it.
Too fucking late. A bunch of true friends had posted too many nice and supportive comments for me to even consider erasing it. It'd be an insult to their kindness.
All but one of them are eplayans.
Thanks fuckers.
I love y'all.

If you want to see what those bastards did, look here.
And friend me if you care to. All the best ones seem to come from here...

not whiney Ff, if you cant tell your friends something thats getting you down who can you tell?

fuck i've whined on here enough times.

[Minxy]

It sure didn't sound whiny to me. It sounded honest. I believe it's honest and healthy to get that shit out; it doesn't do you a bit of good locked away inside you, hurting you and bringing you down. Let it out, share it, let it go.

[ygmir]

not being on fucking FB anymore, I missed it, and the link won't work.........

[FaeTora]

Fuck Ygmir. I miss you on there too. you haven't even gotten to see my playa wear for this year. very underwear in mass and hidden burner. sounds funny but it will make sense.

[ygmir]

right there's a fucking reason to try to make a new page.

[FaeTora]

I know!

Oh yes - Fuck!

I'm afraid my modem will melt down by adding it to my daily ritual of FB, Eplaya, & TerminalVillage.

I just invited you...let's see if I can see the smoke from here.

[EspressoDude]

now ya fuckin did it..Ff will NEVER answer a phone with his landline all tied up with this innernet junk, and no cell (or most other kinds) service in Snooseville.

well you can get trees cut, locks repaired, and guns fixed and test fired..

[Elderberry]

Can't even imagine life without high speed Internet.

[AntiM]

Fuck, a friend I know loosely, more a long term friendly acquaintance, is talking suicide on FB. I don't have his phone number, and I don't know where he lives currently in Utah, because he's been moving around. Too early in the morning for his brother to answer the fucking phone. I posted encouraging words, he did say he was calling the hotline, but don't know what to fucking do. Fuck.

[ygmir]

tough fuckin spot, AntiM. waiting to see what happens.
Good on ya for trying, hope he fuckin listens to ya.

[AntiM]

Larry got through to his brother, things are off the critical front burner. Fuck, that was close.

[MyDearFriend]

Fuck yeah (((AntiM))) that helpless feeling from far away is absolutely the worst...

[Minxy]

Fuck AntiM. That is so hard. *hugs*

[Elderberry]

Fuck. If he does call the hotline, they will be able to do more to help than you probably could. If they detect that the situation is truly serious they can even send out police or paramedics.
