Cycling. Unrecognized elephants in the room will crush you.

One. Participate James, do not, you fool, do not think you can control this 1200 pounds. It will crush you.
Two. Posture. To empower your abs and hip flexors, and disempower your outer extremities.

Three. See number one.

Cycling degree of difficulty way way off the charts. Horrible weather, adverse winds, freezing rain, two chain breaks, two flat tires. We move forward.

Vlogs. Protect reignite soul.

Posture, an elephant in the Room so easy to forget. Hugy impactful.

Wind noise rendered this long important post unintelligible.
Seems to be the first order important elephant in the room. Important, but second-order are things like egg beater perineum, and staying Seated on the narrow hard saddle.

Seconds before passing out got down on the floor of the Subway restaurant tonight at the truck stop.

Massive calorie burn yesterday, 4500 calories, 4200 calorie burn today. Extremely difficult day with high winds and bone chilling cold. Yes wedding gallons with all of the exertion. No logical stopping places short of these extreme expenditures. And quality calories are pretty much unavailable made difficult by the terrible cold and lack of quality food. Why pass out? Unclear. Could be  dehydration, 8500 calories burned in 2 days and fewer than 2000 calories taken in. 2 hours later feeling a bit stabilized. The next 3 days can be more moderate a still allowing arrival in Oklahoma City on Thursday it is hoped. Temperature dropping and precipitation on Wednesday. Snow and rain.

Two Clif bars and two bottles of Gatorade for dinner. Feeling a little bit better.

Courage, it has been said, he is doing what you need to do even when frightened and overwhelmed. I hope that's true.

Video log. Dramatic increase in danger and difficulty these critical next four weeks.

Those that through savagery would dispose of you and yours, the world, are winning, without opposition.

Oklahoma City back on track or Wednesday. Machine shop work.

This was a gigantic day energy-wise, maybe too big. That was not the plan but there was no logical place to stop earlier. It was a very good ride, slightly or substantially favorable Tailwind. Very good son. Very good cycling but that's pretty normal now.
Tuesday Wednesday and Thursday the weather turns much colder and cloudier and rainy or snow. The prospect of being indoors on Wednesday in the Machine Shop may be impossible but it would be a good way to spend a problematic travel day.

Calling all Engineers. Details to follow.

Calling all Engineers. Details to follow. Passive solar water heating for this vehicle? The sun is low on the horizon today and getting lower every day., this is not Peak Sun hitting the solar panels perpendicularly.
And yet 400 watts per hour has been our reading for the last hour or so. In the summertime with the sun right overhead 380 watts is a good day.

What's going on? Temperature.
Warmer months there is plenty of solar and son for hot coffee in the morning. That is not an issue. However, solar thermal require sitting for several hours stationary pedals.
But obviously heat is a problem for the panels. And if there was a way of dissipating that  heat with water tubing and there are obvious advantages.
And in the coldest month the availability of warm or hot water to circulate around the batteries would be a nice and obvious advantage.
There are three panels that can be popped towards the Sun they are on roughly one in square aluminum tubing. They would be the easiest Prospect for running tubing behind. And maybe that would be a phase one. There are three more panels laying flat on quarter inch poly carbonate and very thin tubing circulating underneath them might be a good Phase 2.

it's not something that's going to happen unless it catches the fancy of some engineer that thinks it through.

Video logs. Their souls touched, and mine.

Thursday the new ETA for machine shop in Oklahoma City. If all goes well.

Daily exercise regimen. Additions. Horrible recent performance.

So many distractions do with travel difficulties.

I will have mercy, and not sacrifice....

Very cold weather and hand. This presents a danger to the batteries.

My Traveling companion, Michael, did some timely research and tells me that charging while below zero the batteries can be destroyed. This was just in the nick of time, I think. With additional planning that should become manageable including hot water bottles and thermal bags when needed.

And at times bringing indoors the batteries where it is warm. During meals. Etc.

For whosoever shall do the will of my Father which is in heaven, the same is my brother, and sister, and mother.

But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment.

O generation of vipers, how can ye, being evil, speak good things? for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh.

"Human Scum."

Trump is weaponizing the government against his American opponents.

We're not getting out of Amarillo today. Doesn't break freezing till noon.

Got some replanting and rethinking to do. May or may not change overall intention to pick up another eight states. Turning on seasonably cold really fast.

fc CC v b v. :        

It seems we are to fight on tomorrow, Friday.

Safe and sound was Saul when we return tonight  to the Walmart parking lot. Very uncertain how far we can get tomorrow. Maybe only a few miles. It was a good six inches of snow and very cold tonight and tomorrow. Much of it was slushy. Unclear how clear the roads will be by even midday tomorrow.

Saul has been in creator's hands all day.

What an odd conception for someone that does not believe in a sentient creator.

There is low grade anxiety all day. James determined that the best plan was to leave

For today's pleasures they destroyed their children's tomorrow's.

Ice and snow on ground likely to slow Us by another day.

Qualified advice needed.

The information that I see suggest that prolong winter should not hit this quadrant of states in the photo until mid-December. No guarantees. Is this a correct view? Maybe you know some people that has good information on this? My desire is not to linger, just to set foot and then head south. What is the latest that I should plan on sitting this small area? A day or so of snow that will melt is not a problem. Prolonged winter, snow, is.

Current exercise regimen for James soul

All's fair in Love and War.
