Turns out biking 🚴 with a cast is pretty easy ... until you get to the flooded part of the trail and need help from friends. The doctor just said don’t get the cast wet. Good thing he didn’t notice the indentations in the bottom of the cast from the studded pedals or the sand spilling out from some short hikes on dunes 🤫.

Installing wiring throughout the van ... a photo from back in 2017 during the van build process. Back then, we had no idea how much we’d like living, traveling, and working from a van. At that time, we had specked out cheaper batteries that we thought would last ~2 years. Now that we know how much we enjoy this, we’re replacing our AGM batteries with aluminum cased BLS LiFePo4 batteries, which will be a significant upgrade from the old ones. These will last a lot longer and allow us to continue being self-reliant on our power needs.
