Southern Tire came out and repaired the slow leak in the inside driver’s side rear tire. The tire had leaked down from 100 psi to 50 psi in 3 weeks. Turns out it was the valve stem. $180 and worth it.
I really appreciate road side services.
The repaired tire back on WHQ.
I’ll check the tire pressure again before I roll on down the road to assure myself that the problem is resolved.
QOTD: “What we name as anger is actually only the incoherent physical incapacity to sustain this deep form of care in our outer daily life; the unwillingness to be large enough and generous enough to hold what we love helplessly in our bodies or our mind with the clarity and breadth of our whole being.” – From David Whyte’s book, Consolations: The Solace, Nourishment and Underlying Meaning of Everyday Words

1. The storm came. The power went off. 52 degrees. It got a bit chilly inside. 4 hours later the power was restored. Warming up again.
2. I’ve been away from Pint Lala for a couple of weeks. I road tripped to The Great Smokey Mountains.
3. When I returned to Pint Lala there were some awesome warm days. I was loving them. Then in came the cold of winter. It was 27 F when I got up. Brrrrr
A little drip drip created a little ice stalagmite. It’s been a long time since I’ve seen ice on this windshield.
QOTD: “In early January every year, many people make New Year’s resolutions, promising to embark on programs of self-improvement. But your assignment now, should you choose to accept it, is to create a list of ANTI-resolutions.
Here are some questions to guide you:
1. What outlandish urges and controversial tendencies do you promise to cultivate in the coming months?
2. What nagging irritations will you ignore and avoid with even greater ingenuity?
3. What problems do you promise to exploit in order to have even more fun as you make the status quo accountable for its corruption?
4. What boring rules and traditions will you thumb your nose at, paving the way for exciting encounters with strange attractors?” – Rob Brezsny
I love his anti-resolution idea and the four guidelines.

1. Day two of the cold symptoms. Blah Day 3. Blah Blah Blah. Days pass. Eight days later there is some improvement.
2. I ordered a Ninja Foodi in the hopes of replacing my slow cooker and my Instant Pot with one appliance. Also it adds an air fryer to my cooking options.
Multipurpose is the way to go when living this way.
3. Sits in a chair Gray skies A chill in the air Staring eyes

I thought I would share a thankful list. I am grateful for so much.
1. I did not die a few years back when my heart decided to slow down and stop. Pacemakers, doctors, nurses, techs, hospitals, family and friends saved my life. I am living in the bonus years thanks to all this. I appreciate this time and I am trying to make the most of it.
LIVE LIKE YOU ARE DYING
2. Living the life I picked. Seven years ago I realized I did not want to die sitting in a recliner watching television. I sold, gave away, or trashed most my belongings, sold my house and moved into an RV. I am grateful for the life I have on the road. Location independence is nice.
My rolling home
3. I’m grateful for faith and confidence. The microwave/convection oven in WHQ is failing. I believe I can replace it. Faith and confidence in a higher power supply me with faith and confidence in myself. Living alone it’s nice knowing God (pick a label you like) has my back.
4. I am grateful for friends who keep tabs on me and come for visits. Sometimes they travel with me.
5. I am thankful for the quarter I found on the ground. Quarters are important for laundry day. I am thankful for tonight’s campfire and much other stuff.
Thank you for coming by. Your visits, likes, and comments are a delight. Stay safe and well out there in the CCE. Wishing you love and joy.

I shot the video with an iPhone and the 8 mm app. The editing was done using the Splice app. Nova Rain added the voiceover.
2. All this ice-0-lation, self reflection and meditation is bearing fruit. I flipped out some in the last few days. Melancholy! Confusion! At loose ends. Adrift. Then boom. With the help of a friend I peeled off a huge, tough, nasty layer from my onion. “The unbearable lightness of being”. Growth is difficult. But I am better now. Closer to nobody.
3. I’ve been trying to get my oil and filters changed since January 2020. I’ve been turned away once. SpeedCo didn’t have the oil filter. That is just not true. There was some other reason. Beats me. I may have found a good local place. Maybe during July WHQ will be well lubricated once again.
Thanks 😊 so much for coming by and interacting. You brighten my day and bring joy to my heart. Stay safe and well out there in the CCE. I love you.

My take away? In the time of Covid-19 the isolation can leave us feeling helpless, cold, and alone. It is ok to scream, beat your pillow or drum, and cry. I beat my drum every day. The rainbow-tears on the face are tears of hope, tears of healing, tears of growth. Feel the fear and the pain. Let it pass thru you. Be gentle with yourself and others. This is passing as all things are.
Thank you for stopping by. I appreciate you. Stay well. Check out my other exploits on Vero, Twitter, and Instagram. #maya #bekind #revolution #resist
I am grateful the first freezing 🥶 weather was endured without any freeze damage. Jesse and I weathered it well other than getting cabin fever. Being cooped up in a 250 sq ft space with a 10 year old has its challenges.
I’ve got the Buddy heater in WHQ. I’ve wrapped my water hose with heat tape. Maybe I’m ready for 24 F. Maybe not.
Scene 2:
“What causes happiness? Brainstorm about it. Map out the foundations of your personal science of joy. Get serious about defining what makes you feel good.” – Rob Brezsny
Here is my list.
Being truthful
Being kind
Being loving
Being loved
Mindfulness
Faith in God
Being creative – a maker
Sharing knowledge i.e. teaching
A good cup of coffee and other sensual pleasures
Traveling
It is a work in progress.
