Nice! Never rode one of those, but I had an Aprilia RS250 and a TZ250, but never at Daytona. Daytona has to be hard on those 250s..

Hughes to Starlink is going to blow your mind! I'm just embracing the chicken and the egg aspect by buying equipment in order to build a shop... We'll see how wise that is.

I *was* a 2 wheeled road racer. Been a long time since I hit the track in anger, though.

I've lived the last 30 years exclusively in big cities, so this is a huge change for me too!

The decking was pretty straightforward, but took some time and a lot of really big screws. The beams have braces to tie everything together The decking is the same 3"x12"x10' fir I used for the nailers Haven't decided if I'm going to trim the edges or leave it rough yet. Finally, I...

Most of the acreage is actually on the far side of the creek. In order to get there I need a bridge. The bridge will be 25' long. I picked a spot and used the mini, a laser and string to level and square it up. For footings, I purchased 2 13' railroad switch ties. First I drilled 4' piers and...

"Renting is so expensive. They price it for someone working 9-5 not a weekend warrior like me." "The used market is so strong, we'll save so much money" ... "at least it's cheaper than a porsche" This turned out to be the greatest decision I have ever made. I've gone 180mph on the banks of...

Does anyone have any advice for posting videos? I have a whole bunch of short clips that I'm not including since I'm unable to attach them.

Right now we have 6 x 100w panels on top of the airstream and a Honda eu2200i for "backup". Realistically, we run the generator an hour a day as the answer to your second questions is quite power hungry. Our longer term plan is for solar but with a grid tie-in so we don't have to spend so much...

You guys aren't going to believe this, but at 2:30am that night a storm cell came through and ripped the whole ******* thing off. I was devastated. I came pretty close to lighting the yurt on fire. It took more than a night of feeling sorry for myself, I needed help. Fortunately one of my...

At this point I was legitimately distressed. I just couldn't work fast enough by myself to get everything in place to even attempt the vinyl covering. After a night of feeling sorry for myself I woke up early and *really* went after it. I don't know exactly how much the vinyl weighed, but it was...

Next I attempted to put the yurt itself together. I'm still slightly scarred from the process (on the inside). It started out quite reasonably. The walls and doors went together great. The center ring was trickier, but once we got first 3 or 4 rafters in, the rest was pretty straightforward...

Our lil homestead in progress It took me a while to psyche myself up enough to attempt to cut it into a circle. I put a screw in the center and traced a circle with a tape measure. Using a fresh blade on the circular saw it was surprisingly easy to take my time and cruise around A view...

A few days later, we put up some temp electric fence to keep the cows out of the airstream and moved over. It was exciting! We didn't have any utilities at all, but at least we were home. I took a week off work to begin the yurt platform build. It's worth noting that this is essentially my...

For the first step onto the property I enlisted the help of a local excavation company. Access required a couple culverts and many many loads of "pit run" to push across the marsh. For those who might be concerned about the wetlands, they're basically artificial as they are the result of the...

I'll move a few months ahead and skip the extended closing for everyone's sake. Our approach for this property is to do as much as is *reasonable* by ourselves. Mostly because it's fun. That being said, I won't be afraid to call in the pros when I need to get bailed out. So, in order to DIY a...

Yeah, all the pictures are within ~45 minutes of Bozeman

Yes we're north east of Bozeman in Gallatin County.

You always find what you're looking in the last place you look, right? The last property we scheduled for what turned out to be our final hunting trip we added almost just to fill the time. It didn't really match the search criteria we had for ourselves but we figured why not, the pictures look...

The Search My wife and I have spent quite a bit of time in the last five years visiting all of the marquee towns from the rockies and west. It took a lot of trips to figure out the right mix of access to outdoors, land use restrictions (or lack there of), amenities, and proximity to the...
