Rain on the windshield

Forecast wants showers over the next 2 days. Nature will give what nature will give. Desert sure can use a dunking. Using wet time for rest.

I have been paying attention to my battery power lately, concerned about batteries either getting full charge or are not holding that charge. Spoke with shop in Bend that sold me my last batteries. Plan nof action is to install another controller which is to allow more charge from my panel to enter battery. Found a supplier and installer in Price. Working on perfect plan to drive up there during the wet here.

Read short article about Shimano filing a patent for gear box e bike. Premise is performance will outweigh the weight. So it be. In essence e bikers want to ride on non motorized trails because they prohibit motorized vehicles (dirt bikes) which are too fast for the e bike to keep up with, plus dirt bike trails are built to dirt biker needs. E bikes will be faster than heart propelled riders. I am heart pedaling uphill and an ebiker gets on my wheel and asks for me to yield the trail. What will be the ethics should e bikes gain access to heart powered trails? You can pedal the Tour de France, I suppose you could ride a motor bike on the same. What would be the point? Does the ends justify the means? Yeah I made The Wailer climb, oh, I only used 50% assist. will there be another activity reflective of engine? Did you go mountain biking or e mountain biking?

Yesterday I picked up my altered sheet from USPS and today I washed them. Just in time as my current bottom sheet is suffering from a worn hole caused by my left foot toenails. I know it is my left foot because I sleep on my left side because my right shoulder can not stand being slept on. High thread count sheets, oh boy.

Zags survived a squeaker.

Installed new chain. I totaled the miles on the present chain from my spread sheet, almost 400 miles, changed before it stretched to .5. Intent is to replace the chain before the chain ring wears out.

I have listened to many minutes of the impeachment proceedings.

I read another chapter of This Land, this one about the sage ecosystem. Cows are an invasive species on public land and should be removed. Carbon fuels should remain in the ground. Money is the root of power which destroys public land to benefit moneyed people. Man will kill the planet within next 2 generations. Current shareholders won’t be here to receive the wrath of their grandchildren.
