Horsepower

Today I would have been riding this LiveWire electric motorcycle (100 hp) if it hadn’t been raining cats & dogs. Rescheduled for Tuesday. (That’s my 35 hp KLR650 behind it.)

Anyway, let us rejoice in the blessings of nature, including electricity.l

Hesitation

So much has been happening recently that the gaps in days posting are getting wider: Tomorrow is for riding an electric motorcycle found at the Harley Davidson on Parkmoor. They said I could have it all day: freeways and back roads!

I’m all into electrifying California over the next six years. The industry is following historic parallels. There is so much needs to be done.

On Friday I go back to work, three or four days a week, up to four hours a day. This will be at WeWork on the 9th floor of a San Jose skyscraper. Wish me luck. On off days, however, I won’t get out of bed.

Collision

Shaken, but not Stirred

After he got up I asked how he was feeling. “Terrible,” he said, “hurt my wrist.” Then he ran up to the car which had pulled aside a few feet ahead on Curtner.

I was ambivalent about getting more involved because, although the driver was at fault, it was the bicyclist who ran into the car.

Powerhouse Schematic

with Andrew Jr. (1927-1985) and Michael (1904-1987)

They both worked entire lives in the steel mills. Andy was one of the very last relics of the Rust Belt. All the electricity, some at 13,800 volts, passed through his control room. This drawing above is his diagram of the main switches.
