EFLIUS Day 23: The African American man, if not homeless, One Step Above, looks like you have a whole bunch of work out here, he said. Yes sir, I said. I have seen you working here and working and working. Yes sir, I said. Hey, I said, will you give me a hand for a second? Sure, he said. Bolts needed to be tightened while I held pressure on a certain part of the vehicle. He happily helped. It took just a moment literally. Hey, have you taken a lunch break? I said, I'm fine thanks. Can I get you a chicken sandwich at McDonald's?. Truly friend I'm fine, but thank you so much. God bless, he said, as so many of the kind people who stop say. In this death bed sick, malignantly cancerous, virulent Society, some are so poor that all they have is money, and the rest of us are trying to be among them.  2. Success. Two days ago I projected that two major projects could take 4 hours to 4 days to resolve. It appears that in two days they are now both resolved. Probably I'm too tired to move on today. There are some tiny things on the vehicle that need to be done. I'm likely to do those. And be in a strong position for a strong start on 1700 miles, 33,000 feet of climbing, to North Dakota to stand against the corporate Frankenstein monster that is in the final stages of destroying everything. Test driving might prove otherwise but it looks like repairs, modifications, enhancements, are coming to a close,  and the exploration can resume . James
