Congrats Larry ,so many of us are never really tested. I remember riding enduro motorcycle races in the 80’s and being tested . Loseing 5-10 pounds in 1 race when i didn’t need to lose any. NETRA {new england trail riders association} was the governing body. Race organizers started running easier route because some riders woundn’t enter some races because it was to demanding. Now we have hard enduros go figure.

Great job Larry, that was awesome!!!

Congratulations! Such a great segment.

My son-in-law and I were talking about this. He just graduated with a 4.0 as a mechanical engineer from Oregon tech. I think that the current stepping stone is going to be a diesel generator in the front charging a battery, until battery capacity through solid state are more of a thing. Sodium and graphene are on the cusp. Making this generator swappable with other fuel sources would be ideal in case hydrogen makes a breakthrough before they master containing radioactive waste in diamonds. Diesel engines when idling at the perfect RPM produce a lot less carbon emissions while having a very decent energy output. Say goodbye to rang anxiety. The electrical grid needs to catch up as well before we could all just charge from it.

I had the opportunity to do a walk around of a Tesla Plaid. That’s one sexy car! Getting back in my car, the number of gauges, knobs, numbers, dials, and switches seemed ridiculous, almost comical, compared to the simple elegance of the Tesla interior.

When in a old snap, like most of the nation is in now, the heaters in those electric cars soak up the juju. Then the juju delivery places are all frozen over. We gotta do better to move forward.
living in cal, I like ICE. Maybe a few more years. I am impressed by the cars mostly.
No heat an a cold day no good.

Great post, there are plenty of red blooded Americans that a getting into EV’s for all of the right reasons. I bought my first Tesla in 2015 (Model S P85D) because it was the coolest, fastest thing I could get with seven seats and AWD for my large family. A couple years later we added a Model X for my wife, and I’ve upgraded to a Plaid S. Is the environmental impact everything that it’s cracked up to be? I don’t know. I do think that there is enough evidence to say that it’s better, but the degree to which is certainly arguable. That said, they are just great cars… and I love all cars from my big block ’66 Buick Wildcat, to my Silverado, had a nitrous fed Camaro, a rotary Mazda Rx8, and many more.

Its really unfortunate that there is so much misinformation from both sides when it comes to EV’s… Being located just north of Chicago (Milwaukee) and driving through nine winters I’ve had zero issues. A little bit of common sense is all that’s needed.

Something I saw the other day that made an impact on me was, BE READY FOR CHANGE.

This has been one of the hardest things for me to do in regards to adaptation in my communication processes. I love when people point out that I’m wrong so that I can be right by correcting myself. Even within my core foundational beliefs. Generally this is offensive to other people. From my informal studies, I theorize that cognitive dissidence is a protection mechanism not just for the individual but for the group in a primitive setting. Protecting our similar beliefs prevents the group from being divided, even if it’s a lie or untruth.

Well said, Larry.

Thanks Larry, This is great. My wife is a teacher that is dealing with Cell Phones on a daily basis.

Stop deli slicing your attention! I love that picture!
Thanks Larry!

I am trying to accomplish my life purpose as a servant of God, be a prophet to as many people possible, announce the love of God for humanity “Jesus the Christ “

Love this! Physically moving away from the negative changes everything.

Having been recently diagnosed with cancer these words ring so true. I didn’t realize how much I love what I do when I was faced with the fact that I might not be doing it for long. So my plan is to give it all I got doing what I love as long as I can and make a positive difference in the lives of others and the world!
Thank you Larry for sharing these thoughts every day. They really bring me to a new level of appreciation of how hard I work and how much Joy I get out of it!

At the age of 50, I made a bold decision. I closed the doors of my successful contracting business, a venture that had been both my bread and butter and my identity for many years. The decision wasn’t easy, but it was necessary. I had always been a person who believed in working hard and playing even harder. Adventure was my lifeblood – from the thrill of white water rafting to the adrenaline-pumping excitement of rappelling and skiing, to the awe-inspiring challenge of conquering all 46 peaks in the Adirondacks. But the pursuit of happiness in my career became my new mountaintop to conquer. It was a testament to my pursuit of personal growth, an endeavor that required taking risks and venturing into the unknown. I sought to discover what truly drove me, what made me feel alive. Crucially, I found a partner who supported, loved, and shared in the joy of this adventurous journey of self-discovery. Life isn’t just about living; it’s about living passionately.
Larry,

Thank you for sharing your remarkable journey with us and for continually inspiring your readers to seek their own paths of self-discovery, passion, and adventure.

Absolutely love this statement and try to live by these words. It’s quality of like not quantity!
