Hi Mike! It has been a long time, but I feel compelled to actively join zoobird again! I remember when we met at the Portland Hostel, my husband and I were visiting Portland to see if we wanted to move there and I am very happy to say we made it here! Your site has grown so very much, it is incredible to see all the blogs and groups that are up!

I hope all is well and peaceful in you life!

Hey Mike

Here's a link to the nitto stems on Niagra Bike Parts.  They come in 25.4 c as well as 26 c so you'll have to measure your bars.

Hi from peaceful Steinhatchee,

We have been having beautiful weather and our gardens are growing like weeds. The river is flowing slowly towards the bay begging the kayaks and canoes to 'come on in'. As I had mentioned, life doesn't get much better than it does here.

I enjoyed meeting you and spending a couple hours picking your brain (what a brain). We missed you at our St Paddy's party. It was good food ( home grown cabbage and potatoes) and lots of laughing. Eating and laughing are things we are really goodd at.

Hope you enjoyed Steinhatchee as much as we enjoyed you being here. Let us know when you are coming back.

Nancy

Thank you Michael! I'm happy I found your website! I will try to go by the park tomorrow morning to see if there are still people meeting for yoga. There is no phone number or email to find out otherwise. :)

Nameste and welcome to The Love Company.

We are a small yet big hearted orphanage in need for Volunteers with a love for children and an open mind to help bring joy and love to our children.

The Love Company was founded over 3 years ago in Pokhara and is in existence today only because of its kind hearted and spirited volunteers. To continue to nurture these children and to help sustain the orp
hanage we require the humble help of volunteers. No matter how small or large your contribution maybe, it will make a positive difference to the children and to the running of the orphanage.

Currently we have 14 children, ranging from 3 to 11 years old and all with their own heartfelt stories to tell.
They come from all backgrounds including coming from broken homes, being abused by their families with some children also being rescued from the streets of Nepal.

We are a not for profit organization with your donations and fees going directly to the children and running of the orphanage.

If you are not able to volunteer you can help in other ways such as clothes , stationeries, donations of toys and gifts for the children or alternatively monetary contributions are also most welcome.
It is possible to sponsor a child from our orphanage.

Hi Michael,

I will send an update soon, I promise! =)

take care,

Hey brother!  I joined this crazy site just to try to tell you about Nahko's tuning for "Black as the Night"....it is OPEN D  DADF#AD  and then just strum the drone open, and use an E shape for the other main chord.  Watch his hands in the vid once you tune to Open D and you'll grasp it real quick.  Let me know if you have questions!  I BELIEVE IN THE GOOD THINGS COMIN'....

Several years ago a gathering of international stone masons met in Barre Vt for a weeklong symposium.  I'm standing under an arch built by a novice so I couldn't wait for the race which started under the arch to begin.

Building walls without mortar is my new passion.  The long standing passion that brought me to this site  is bicycling.  Are there any cycle savvy members here?

Thanks Mike.  Took a little bit to sign up since you told me about it but happy I did.

Thanks, Michael!  I followed links from the pics of the stingrays, but did that mostly because I liked what you said about yourself.  I love to have similar birds  "in my space".  :-)

Hi Mike! I know, our Galapagos trip really was wonderful wasn't it? It's such a shame what's happening there at the moment, to think that the next generation might not get to see what we did. What horrifies me the most is how little the world seems to care, it's been a week and still not even a mention in any of the news here.

Hopefully we can get some support behind the Galapagenos!

Thanks for sharing this page with me, it looks like an interesting space, but it might take me a while to figure out how to use it properly! :P

Thank you so much for introducing me to your wonderful Zoobird, Mike I am so lucky that I met you at the hostel. Please keep feeding me more precious information about Portland and life. 

Hi Mike, thanks for sending me that article. I realised the situation was getting pretty bad, but not to that extent. I have a BBC news app on my phone that is my main source of news at the moment, and there is a section specific to Latin America, but none of this has even had a mention. Just goes to show that even large, international news sources are following the Correa line, which is appalling.

It's hard to believe how far its escalated. I fell in love with Ecuador when I was there and its awful to see what's happening to it. Not sure what we can do to help other than trying to make more people aware?
