You can't put 80,000lbs of sprinkler in a van. You can't tow 80,000lbs of sprinkler with a van.

The motor could turn with the wheel. You could have a wheel-motor without the excessive unsprung weight of the motor components.

It's pretty smart. It is like a wheel-motor but without all the unsprung weight.

They aren't. Light ircraft now use touchscreens that you are supposed to use while bouncing around. They had a knob for a while but then it seemed touchscreens took over. With the knob you still had to look, it at least you didn't have to aim at a bouncing spot on the screen.

Not many, statistically. And I bet even fewer next time.

That is not exactly true. My dad was a geology professor. About half his students ended up in oil and gas. The other half were employed as city planners, teachers, consulting geologists, and in , civil engineering firms, environmental services firms, mining and others.

It is hard writing rules for humans that they can't game. In sales they had to constantly change the rules to prevent them from being gamed.

There isn't a lot of consistency in the courts.

 

I contribute pretty regularly to Google maps. I know at some point I should probably switch to Open Street Maps but, I am not ready at this time. I would like very much to share my journeys and to follow other houseless members on gMaps. DM me if you would like a link to my profile.

Right now I am in Pagosa Springs, Colorado. It has been a soggy few days but hopefully it will be beautiful by the weekend. I do like this little town. It seems cheaper and friendlier than Durango. It is growing so I suspect I will have to find a place to replace it in my rotation in a few years.

Lots of good camping to the south and also to the Northwest. Much of it with good cell service.

In the springtime you can tube down the icy San Juan River, stop in some hot springs then jump back in your tube for the remainder of the trip.
