Ms Susan, the Truck Stop owner, had two wonderful stories.

 in addition to what's mentioned in the video here, at one point  Susan said have a happy journey, to which I replied, in this world of suffering I don't want to be happy. I want instead to be joyful by trying to make it better. She wasn't offended by what I said, at the time she didn't want to hear it, maybe she'll be able to think about it later.

Sometimes you get really really really really fortunate.

Today and the next two or three days are very very limited son. In many situations this is a nightmare for James and Saul, where to stay without becoming unwelcome? But here just to the north of Mount Washington there is a plethora of places to stop along the highway and it's beautiful, noisy was traffic, but it will be quiet at night. Sometimes we get lucky, or maybe sometimes Creator gets tired of being such a f****** a******.

Cycling, it's even better than I was thinking. The motherload.

 Oh my goodness, a hundred times before you said this James. Yes. And each time before seemed like the highest peak, only to see a higher Peak ahead. About half-a-dozen video logs of today Envy photo archive accessible at the upper right here, the world as James sees it.

Highlights inclide:

* the nature of James energy contribution must be squishy because that's the physics of the crank sweet spot.

* The Sweet Spot is 10 until 2 with the outbound besides dump, and it is impossible for that leg to do the necessary job without extraordinary support from the uprising leg, the returning thigh and thigh stump.

* on a trike, that the majority of the time is listening to the right because of the way roads are crowned and the shoulder, the left leg has a vastly more difficult job to do than the right leg. Having said that the uprising right leg is really the stroke position, by way of analogy to rowing, for the whole operation.

* the job of the uprising leg is absolutely essential so that the commencement of the squeezing is at 10, that cannot be done by the outbound leg without 90% of the positioning being done by the inbound leg. Impossible.

* for all but the highest degree of difficulty, it is essential to maintain constant velocity of leg, machine, Gering, so that the body has a constant consistent problem to solve.

* the recovering, Uprising, right leg is probably the most important of all because it sets the timing and placement for everything else. The second most important is the left leg which has the most difficult job on the outbound because of the crown of the road. It has to lift so much higher. James had thought the attempt for years now of the legs to be asymmetrical was a problem, and it was he and his misunderstanding that was the problem. They have different roles.

* as just described, it's the right leg does its job, and the left leg then does its job, it seems very likely that the outgoing right leg will do its job and the uprising left leg too will do its job, they follow the first two.

My grief of recent days has turned.... (Stella)

 

Video log here... regrets for feeding the addictions of my friends those for whom I have the greatest care.

I think I found the problem, with a Little Help From A sister.

 

I saw you many towns back, you've been traveling a long way today. Here is a cold drink.

 

Me, me, me... Has to bring hate, hate, hate.... If you are not living Otherishness you are sowing the seeds of hate.

 

Cycling. It is so simple.

 

Are you a Christian this Sweet Soul asked?

 

It is insane to say we have a white supremacy or racism problem.

 

Cycling. Cathy was right, holy grail has not yet Escaped..... for four years James has look for leverage the wrong place getting at the extremes of crank arm travel the middle, mechanical Leverage is in the middle.

 had I thought one thing four years ago everything would have been different. Had I thought where the hi leftridge of the crank arm arm was everything would have been different. Am I the only one that has made this mistake? Entirely possible.

The Amish vegetable man, Jan.

 Oh, and at the very end James mention to Dan, for years I tried to stop the Armageddon I tried to get in his way and what that taught me was we're not going to wake up we are not going to stop at that left me with a question will change what do you want to do? The answer that came to me was, you're going to do what you can to stir a soul so that they can find joy in the material Armageddon anyway. Dan's reflexive reply which was genuine was, that's all any of us can do.

Khanh's cab Cyclone motor will save the day today.

 

Cycling. To dream The Impossible Dream. The Holy Grail has been achieved.

 Will it be here tomorrow? Tomorrow Will Tell. And the next day.... But it was here today. The ability, as on a conventional bicycle, for James body and soul to deliver all the energy that it knew it had to give, efficiently, effectively, reliably. 3 years ago this occurred for a brief period in time in Iowa, and then was lost. But today it was back. No, really. And James thinks he understands why it was working. 

The torque sensor metrics for James were throttled back 70% and now are deemed to be reliable. 326 human watts was seen today, 220 was not rare. 180-200 was regular. This is 50% beyond what was ever seen before the metrics were recalibrated when each has adjusted for the other. Point being today James was able to Output hugely more, contribute, hugely more, then before. Ever since Iowa. This is very satisfying, because it was so simple. So mentally and physically simple. 

And segment after segment dozens of times within 30 seconds James was able to re implement the strategy, the technique. Never since Iowa 3 years ago. 

For James does it matter in the scheme of things? No, and yes. What matters is James is trying to stir a soul here or there and occasionally this Voyage seems to create such opportunities. But cycling 4 5 6 7 hours a day, if he can repeat tomorrow what occurred today as maybe he can, the mental and emotional drain is a fraction of what it has been ever since Iowa three years ago. Cumulatively that's a lot of time energy and attention freed up. 

And personally, which doesn't matter, it's been three years since James had a personal relationship like that of a conventional cyclist where he could do what he could do and not be constrained by feeling totally uncoordinated. But today that relationship returned. Tomorrow?

Does James think he is the second coming of Jesus?

 

Why do you call me good comma only the father is good period Jesus

 

Jesus: no one comes to me except that the father brings him.

 

Sol r Turned 3000 today. Approaching forty thousand in total.

 The first Sol was a prototype, this is a production vehicle, just solid solid solid solid solid. A Marvel everyday. Physically beautiful and complete now. It is a thing, credit to Rex, and then Khan. It is a joy and a privilege for me to Showcase it around the country. So strong that a rear-end Collision was healed in a matter of a day. Hopefully we don't get to find out what happens after the next rear end collision. 

The solar panel on the roof has broken I'm certain because it is insufficiently supported so horrible Road conditions in the US caused internal fracture. Within a week or so I expect a replacement to be placed on top, the much more durable SunPower and I expect that to last for many years and also those on the trailer. 

Khanh's most ingenious move that almost killed me was realizing that a pedicab transaxle in the trailer would be a game-changer and indeed it has. Countless nights now James has been in a safe secluded sleeping spots in Forests that would have been unattainable with the prior vehicle. The transaxle and the Cyclone motor in the trailer. 

With the Cyclone motor in the cab we can now endlessly do the Rockies and the Sierras. But fires are preventing accessing those this year. In about two weeks we'll be in the mountains of Vermont and New Hampshire and Maine. Very challenging but less so than out west. Easily handled by turning on the cab Cyclone but it is very noisy. We probably could handle those states with the rear trike Hub motor but it overheats so quickly. This is sort of the last remaining fundamental experiment. With the current controller Arrangement The Hub motor just gets too much power and overheats in a matter of several moments. 

James's looking to prioritize experiments in the next couple of days to see if different controller Arrangements can better distribute power across the trailer and the cab, and hopefully so. If not, it might be time to try and secure a hub motor to be mounted mid vehicle in the cab as it was before with appropriate torque arms.

My daughter in Hood River Oregon sent me over to say hello. Later she came back, we wanted you to have this.

As it turns out the daughter and I encountered a year or so ago when I was in that area briefly and she friended me on Facebook. Such a nice kindness.

Creator I see two places in the world, in nature, and there's much Beauty here in Warsaw, and in the rare kindness one person to another.

Well, maybe I'm not totally useless.

 

Any options in the Saratoga Springs area for receiving several shipped packages for James and a parked vehicle for one or two nights?

And eight pound solar panel and maybe a 12 pound motor in a box two feet by two feet by two feet would be the shipments period FedEx or UPS. And James and Saul would need no more than a place to park where they would not disturb anyone or be disturbed

Could genocide really happen here

This article was shared widely by me and led to this following messenger dialogue with a very thoughtful fellow.

B: Have you read anything by Guy Macphearson?  He concludes with quite a bit of scientific research that our climate will only sustain mamals (humans) only 10 more years

J: Hey man! No, because it has been clear to me for years now that the apocalypse will not be stopped. I believe my responsibility and I think the opportunity of us all is to Pioneer how to live joyfully in the apocalypse oh, the unmitigated material hell, so that we can show others how to do the same. I believe this is exactly what the man Jesus did and I suppose Buddha as well. It is irrelevant that we have the material and scientific means to save the planet we do not have a tiny fraction of enough sane in human being to use those material means and the science to do so. Of course I may be wrong but it has been horribly clear to me pretty much since Standing Rock. And our opportunity to show how to live joyfully anyway is such a wonderful opportunity. I shared the article I did uncharacteristically of me in recent years because I think it is a warning particularly those at greatest risk should have to consider getting out of the country while it's still possible.

But as to the premise of the book you mentioned I suppose part of me hopes it's true because I'm not a fan of prolong the misery. For me or for anyone.

And thank you for telling me of the book. I will be looking into it as input as to how much time the project has left.

Cycling. If I should die before I wake don't say I didn't leave logs on how to move salt. Holy smokes.

 LOL, and if everyone beside James knew how to do this talk to y'all for not telling me. LOL. They've been uploaded to the archive for

Cycling. James is learning to cycle for the first time after four years. Lifelong he has neglected his calves. Apparently they have a purpose. All logs in the archives.

Felt quite ill this afternoon for hours. Wondering if it was something Airborne. Feeling better now.

This joyful couple, they steal our produce sometimes the college kids, but it is so joyful

 

Are there any kids better prepared for this apocalypse than the Amish?

 

James and Sol are avoiding cities like the plague from here on out.
