Time to get my Commodore 64 on the air with my new Meshtastic 64 cartridge! #meshtastic #c64
I’m impressed with the LoRa RX of #Meshtastic. I don’t even have a real antenna up (yet), just the dongle antenna sitting in my basement office (near exterior wall), and here’s my map of nodes heard in the past 48 hrs. The hop from Iowa at 900 MHz is impressive to me!
I took the canoe out yesterday for the first time this season, and it was the PERFECT evening on the water.
I got my orange g-bike purring and smoking away as it should! It still has some unresolved issues with the variator (clutch) but, hey, who doesn’t? As both mopeds are now running on their gas engines, I am leaving thoughts of electric modifications to some future time. 1977 Motobecane #moped @MLE_online@social.afront.org

@kottke This green is instantly recognizable in this Titan missile silo from the Cold War, now a museum south of Tucson!

I got my other G-bike running last week, a 1977 Motobecane! This moped was a project bike that I restored from half junk in 2006, and then it sat in a shed for the past 20 years. It’s running again, but there’s still a significant problem with the centrifugal clutch (or “variator” if you’re European) that I need to disassemble and fix. But I honestly like wrenching on these more than I do riding them. 😁

@kwf@social.afront.org Kenneth, this is 99.9% unrelated, but reading this made me think of the Localizers in the 1999 sci-fi novel Deepness in the Sky by Vernor Vinge. You ever read that? I feel like you would be the person to invent Localizers (smart dust) in that book.
