Well, James just successfully relaced his real rear-wheel.

A particularly satisfying, gratifying, and important experiment. It is not the new spokes, they will not arrive until middle of next week if the shipment happens from San Jose on Friday. But it is a relacing of the old spokes as a trial to see if James could do it, and so that the vehicle is mobile until the new spokes arrive. Yes, we have not tried to move yet but there's every reason to think that it will go fine. James has been building these skills by observing prior wheel Builders and by frequently replacing spokes. This is a very useful Milestone to have passed.

No one can save us but ourselves. But these are the only two that could do what is needed in their roles. Biden would be the final nail in the coffin.


James, did you find a home in Asheville?

Until middle of next week John. I'm just unclear so far in Discerning what I should do after that. If there were a lot less old white folks the country the world would be much better off. Objectively. That speaks to me resuming travel, at least a little bit. But the capitalist class is in pain over this which means this is hurting the capitalist structure. And that's a miraculous thing. That speaks to me trying to shelter in place someplace. But where?

With friends in Asheville North Carolina until spokes arrive mid next week. Then heading north toward Maine 30 days away. the.... time between now and when the spokes arrive hopefully from San Jose California will be spent on big and small projects fortifying Sol the wonderful vehicle. Including a trial run hopefully to complete tomorrow on testing my ability to totally rebuild a wheel. And a long punch list of other items. 



Not that it matters but this is I think the 4th night since departing California last July that James is inside . Interesting. These folks here an Asheville are so kind to me. It's very nice to be with Them although I am as much fun as a root canal, keeping my focus on what I can do to help the world which doesn't help them very much. 

 Didn't get much sleep last night because every little sinus drip or Body impulse made me wonder if I had dragged the virus in here to these folk. I suspect a lot of people are having such hypochondria. I don't much find myself minding the idea of getting the virus regardless of the consequences to me but giving it to these folks, I'd rather die. 

Trump and his GOP goons are vastly more deadly than the virus. Seriously. No? And we totally deserve them.


I think this pandemic, economic depression, is one last wake up call. A potential halt load, restart.

Who can say that America, Americans, the human species does not deserve Trump and the Republicans? And the Coronavirus?


The only people I feel sorry for are those the think but their lives and resources are for themselves. They are the poor.


Cycling. Four years of failure? Trying to solve the wrong problem almost all this time?


That's how it seems. And my concern is anyone that I have led down the wrong path. I've had it all wrong I think. almost certain. 

 Maybe in some cycling one gages off of how the powae 1 Provides moves the object to be moved. In this case Sol obviously.  so when a motion of the body creates a clear forward movement that is to be repeated, correct? It just doesn't work with saul and James. And for almost 3 years with one or maybe 2 exceptions that is what James has been trying to do, the problem he has been trying to solve, How to launch saul forward with his help 

 Iowa may have been exception 

 The Times out of grand Junction Colorado may have been an exception. There was a time going South in Oregon or Washington when pumping energy out of the ground concept. Perenium eggbeater…. 

These just mentioned may have been and probably were exceptions to a degree What the intuitive Desire of the body to figure out how to launch sol forward and to minimize exertion have been the dominant. 

 Yesterday an impossibly long difficult ride on top of several prior After an hour or so something different took place . Don't try to launch forward James in fact savor every delay as an additional instant where you can inject energy into the ride, not the movement, into the journey. It caused a change in orientation, Rather than the body trying to launch energy forward it intuitively moved to the direction Downward. It just happened. from maybe 70゚ forward to 45゚ Down. 

A complementary Notion had occurred prior then that was a notion of different gear levels for James' body but not gears but felt level of Energy contribution tactile at the knees. And radiation such as 05/10/15 20  pounds have been discussed. 

Wow, guess who's back. The emphasis on the up rising leg. But different. Attempting to maintain a felt 0.1 pound of pressure against the top every centimeter of travel along the road. The lower leg takes care of itself. 

Savoring weightlessness of the upper leg. 100% of the time. lower leg delivering that weightlessness. 

Saver continuous weightlessness 100 of the of the time, an uprising leg seems to be an ideal timing and synchronization device. At least for the last 45 minutes everything else takes care of itself. 

The capitalist world econ machine was killing everything. The virus is stalling that. The few of us it kills may be cheap price.


I'm torn as what to do. Do I continue my mission living solidarity with the other homeless? Do I shelter and protect my tiny monthly income that I share with the needy? Is there any place I can shelter?

If Saul is finally stable it is 3 or 4 days to Asheville where a high-school friend lives.


Sol has been trying to kill me this past week. Maybe today we came to terms. Mechanical week from hell.


So very exhausting it has been with the vehicle sounding like it tear apart. 6 hours repair work today and roughly two hours each day for the last three or four, but the time today finally it sounds like a healthy vehicle again. I don't assume we're out of the woods but we might be. Bicycle and E bike parts for a vehicle that weighs one quarter of this.

Pretty distracted I've been the last couple of days. This wonderful vehicle went totally unstable and right on the verge of total meltdown with a good likelihood of motor destruction. But I think we've stepped back from the brink. Hoping you all are well. I really have no idea what challenges lie ahead for this Mission because of the virus thing. Is everything going to be shut down? How will we eat? I'm guessing that truck stops will be fairly protected and it seems like Walmarts will be open. Interesting times. I had something that was hitting me with great waves of fatigue and nasty gastric problems. I have some fond hope that it was a mild form of the virus. Time will tell.

A best ride ever? The best ride ever? A fluke?

Another 55 Mi a day after three or four of those already. This body is going Way Beyond the Call of Duty.

Today was
