Nope, that grumpy white spot on the beach chair is Poepies The chicken was just photo-bombing... to keep them away from the poison while dipping is a different story EDIT - the chicken(s) is privately called much worse

Poepies having post Ectodex dip blues

sigh.. jaja If it works (well) why play around. Just dont have time for the shite. Will get to it the weekend. Told the missus this morning.. received an unsympathetic "so you old toy don't like your new toy"

I can't installl the 'Lezyne GPS Ally' app on my Samsung S3 - "Your device isn't compatible with this version" I have Android 4.3 on my GT-I9300, it require Android 4.4 and up Sigh... of to reseach phone OS systems again

https://www.flickr.com/photos/oddpix1/ https://www.facebook.com/landscapeguyanton 3+ versions are then floating around. I like his photos

Where did you get this photo from Anton? (I follow him on Flickr and a different version was published there.)

I had to saw a broken seatpost out. Regular phone photos to see whats going on helped. It was quick throught the first 80% of the seappost wall thickness, but the last 0.2mm take SO long because you are so carefull. A week of Q20 and these steps was attempted & failed: (I had two little points and the frame clamp slot to drill 3 holes for a brake cable) Fill the frame with ice cold water.I tried hanging with my full body weight on it - nothingI tried to rotate/wiggle it by drilling a 3mm horizontal hole trough the ~5mm clamp slot, trough a smaller diameter steel pipe and into 1/2 of the seatpost on the other side - no luck, the drill bit broke first. Pull on it with my grandpa's farm fence puller - no luck, the brake cables broke first. (so the pull force would have been more than my 96kg weight)

I got this from my ex father in law back from a Denel trip to somewhere in one of the Arab countries. Always thought it was something 'touristy' from a flee market. Does not look like manufactured to a high quality. Is this the real deal? (obviously it is years since I last pulled it out of the 'sleave', need to clean the blade in some way).

The 'Thread' is the same price (R1299) as the 'Traction' in Cape Gate. Got myself a pair. I think they look good

Somerset Sport (Cape Gate & Somerset West) have stock. I will go & take a look.

Very nice! I really need to plan a road trim to the North some time.

Ditto Already available in CT? If not when.. Looking good!

I wrote circa 2007. I was worried and got the 'study pack'. (I'm Afrikaans speaking boertjie that learned English in an Agricultural school - worst case scenario....) It was easy - even the 'interview' test. If she is native English speaking she wont have any worries.

Hi Walker Was it in the front of the seat post, something like this? Silverback Storm 1, 2013 model. Its a weird place/direction to get a crack? (I would have thought the crack would be horizontal) I still have 2 cm left on the printed ruler on the back of the seat post. (95-100 kg)

My ISP have equipment, including backup batteries on some of the Bottelary hills. These are being targeted - even in mid morning daylight. Please keep on the lookout for suspicious characters. ps - early in December, I bumbed into 4 landowner youngsters in hunting camo (& armed) out on a multi-day sleepout. Very friendly and appearantly not out to find rouge riders.... seems we need more of them

One of these coming days (years?) you, me & the dikwiel kommandant still need to do 'Die Aap'. It did not drop from my bucket list yet...

No, only day trips to Prins Albert/Willowmore etc. (Was visiting family on a farm just outside Klaarstroom)

Over the past week: Only in SA where the heat force you to knock on a farm owners door to aske for water - and get invited to use the pool Provincial border hopping: Klaarstroom Hotel - for the first time the town is worth a stop, should you pass by car through Meiringspoort

Maybe it is good NOT to know how many hours i spend here

Ok, i selected my favourite photo - who is signing it?

I find it is a great opportunity to learn/increase/demonstrate my limited indigenous language skills. Guaranteed smile generator...

AHERN (lord of the horses)

How do you do that yourself? ... anyone attempted that self medication before? (successfully)

'Fenton' seems to have a nice ring to it
