Log, serving the few souls, March 23rd.
per this graphic big step forward in terms of understanding this Mission and how to communicate it. And embracing rather than shying away from how miniscule is the target audience. But so it would be with a brain surgeon, or a heart surgeon, and many other important works.
No problem but planned maintenance on the vehicle did not happen because it would have increased visibility in this unplanned Steak-Out at the base of Mount Whitney where normally the place of sleep is not advertised, by getting away quickly in the morning and coming in at dusk. So we Are Not Invisible but the effort is to try and keep this visibility down until departure Monday morning for the part expected to arrive.
4 hours were invested in the thought of getting a more current, larger screen, smartphone. One way or another almost all day long the current Galaxy S6 5 inch screen device is supporting the work. Three models were identified, between 5 and $800 expenditure, but thankfully, at the last minute the fever broke, and it was realized that probably through a variety of things the current phone should last for another year or so. It was an expensive investment of time but much was learned and a worthwhile unavoidable exercise.
Two expensive batteries were purchased about a year-and-a-half ago in an emergency and thank goodness they were. But they are 52 volt and the primary system is 48 volt and that incompatibility makes them useful only as backup and now the 48 volt system has expanded enough that they are unnecessary weight. A good friend from Standing Rock was contacted and may well have a win-win-win situation, a little bit of money toward this Mission, and extremely affordable batteries to some worthy users.
A little bit of study on Tolstoy's translation and harmonization of the four Gospels. His Great Soul was moved by the man Jesus when he got past the abortion that is the church. This may well be a central piece of my work for the rest of my days. Certainly it is his understanding that whereas he found death in the translations and teachings of the church, he literally found life, the avoidance of suicide, in the original Greek gospels as he translated them. Maybe it was delusion on his part. But delusion or not, what he found created Gandhi and largely Martin Luther King jr. That's the kind of material that had I been connected with it much earlier in my life my rebirth as a soul, liberated from the tyranny of head and flesh, may have been accelerated by how many decades? And if I further Master his material and similar material maybe I can be a more effective conduit to that one in a million Soul looking to be Unshackled.
Comments on new verbiage for the vehicle much appreciated.
Very very very glad am I. Wrestling for days now with what to put on the side of Sol, the miraculous solar RV unit that carries me at night and 6 solar panels. Near certainly it will be the verbage in the black space below. Any serious comments, positive, or negative, by those that thoughtfully consider what seems to be my mission, would be much appreciated. Now would be a good time. A lot of words, but the focus is not drive by, but rather walk by when the vehicle is parked. And as much as 4 feet high by 8 feet long is the space available ARG!!! I'll correct the typo on the final, start loving, not start living. By the way, special request. Google to some degree biases every individual's inquiry, search, based on their own search history. In any browser when I Google the two words start loving the first thing that comes up is my sight. But I don't know that is the case for you. Will you please check and let me know if my blog is not the first thing that comes up? Thanks.

marooned March 22nd, 3 days, treating the soles for oppression, weakness. Log.
Marooned until Monday, not a problem.
Last night two tenths of a mile short of the destination the pedaling quit. Diagnosing this morning found a problem with the 330% gear mid vehicle. This morning removed it, diagnosed the problem, and working with a marvelous Midwest Bike parts distributor arranged for the needed part to arrive on Monday. Nobody designs a variable gear for a 900-pound bicycle payload. The problem that arose is likely to occur again, but part of today's procurement was a special tool and several replacement parts that should enable us to inexpensively deal with what today is a $500 problem, at much much lower cost in the future and much more quickly. Really it is a very good thing the way this has resolved. And with this creativity this gear becomes a long-term solution in all likelihood, instead of the $1,500 German gear that would be the alternative.
There is motor power, full, but it would be foolish to chance getting in an uphill situation where the vehicle could be stopped because getting it moving again with motor power without the ability to Pedal would be very chancy. It could be disaster. So we are planning to sit tight at the base of Mount Whitney until Monday when the part arrives.
Most of the day was spent on physical plant issues. 3 spokes replaced in the rear trailer. The diagnosis, mentioned above. Wiring on the rotating safety Beacon on the RV unit failed a week ago and it was soldered and repaired today.
Productive usofor Facebook was made, a workaround for Facebook blocking posts from my blog was established. Study of Tolstoy, not done by me in many years, was resumed yesterday afternoon, and blossomed in a very important Insight in this meme published today. This is quite a strategic insight for the work of this mission.
Weather permitting, if warm enough, the vinyl sides of the RV unit have been cracking dangerously, and if warm enough repair will be conducted of that.
If really warm enough then finally the replacement decals, replacing, starve the corporate state, with, for joy..., may be applied to the front and rear of the vehicle, Sol. The major plan for the next three days is to plow through the Tolstoy translation of the four gospels, translation and harmonization.
