Joule Electric Motorcycles

I am on my fourth generation of electric bicycle. I couldn’t find the charger form my folding Motorino so stopped at Joule Electric Motorcycle.  They didn’t have what I needed but looked at the battery and said it was a 32 volt and recommended a charger on Amazon. Voila’ I’m waiting now.

Since I was in their show room of street legal, off road and dual purpose electric motorcycles I checked them out.  What an advance in technology!  Shorter charging, longer batteries and more choice. I lived a little green number that reminded me of the early triumphs.  Pretty bikes.  Price tags about the same or less that gas vehicles.  Well built.  I loved the owners.  So knowledgeable and answered all my questions which come from years of cycleing and motorcycling. I road my Harley Electroglide to Sturges and back but now have a Harley Nightster Special bccause getting older I found I needed lighter weight to load and off load as well and move it round. My Electroglide was 1200 lbs and ideal for the American freeway but my Nightster special is only 450 lbs.   I carried it on my truck to Arizona quite easily.  An electric motorcycle would be even easier. 

I’ve just bought a Thor Class A Motorhome and the hitch is higher than my truck so to run the motorcycle onto a carrier will be more difficult . I spoke with the amazing E&H Hitch  father and son team recommended to me by Burnaby Hitch who have the best equipment, Thule, etc but don’t fabricate. .  The son was  concerned about tongue weight on the motorhome hitch.  The father had  reinforced the hitch on my Ford F350 years past. .  ‘It’s doable’he said ‘but it would be better if you had  lighter motorcycle’.   

Since the batteries come out of the electric bikes they can be loaded running then the batteries easily removed for transit, The frame for the dual purpose motorcycle which was just like my Honda dual purpose 250 , sweet machine, would only be 200 lbs.  Light enough even to lift. 

At Joule Electric they  have off road electric motorcycles and change out parts in the shop to create a machine could almost climb vertically.  I really like my off road fat tired electric bike.  I took it grouse hunting but couldn’t carry my cock a poo hunting companion on the back whereas there’s room on the dual sport and off road motorcycles.   My friend who I gave that bike  to la couple of years back oves it. I returned to the Honda 450 quad but need a trailer to tow that around . I don’t like that or that I have to stow the quad the rest of the year whereas motorcycles take up so little room especially these electric ones,   The quiet is a joy.  Doesn’t’ scare the game like motors do.  I saw a lot of wild life riding the trails on the electric bike and just carried an extra battery rather than a can of gas. 

So I’m impressed.  The Joule folk were just so knowledgeable and helpful and listened carefully to what I needed. No trying to sell me what they wanted to off load.  Just a wonderful experience with people who love their machines want to pass on the joy.  

The motor home has a generator and I plug into 30 amp and the electric motorcycle cycle charger only needs 15 amps.  Two to three hours to charge .  A lot better than the early electric bikes that took over night. I can attain roads speeds and travel for an hour or more on a charge, something like a 100 km range.  The early bikes only did 20 km and as many miles.    

The government also supports buying electric and that brings down the cost considerably. 

I confess I am impressed. I can see myself  returning to Joule to purchase that Inbot.

Frazerway RV, Adventurer Camper, Sociopaths, Evil and Greed

I rode my Harley for the first time last evening. It was big and loud. A rumbling ride. I rode it up to the meeting which was really good.  Good to see George and Dean and Marty and Stephen and Hugh and George and all the guys.  Very inspiring and uplifting. I found the spring had come loose on the stand so I had to bungee cord it up to get home. I’ll fix it today.  Just needed pliers. Actually thought about pliars before I headed out. I briefly looked for the leather man I always wear on my belt when I ride my motorcycle.  It was a good ride. I enjoyed it. Thought it would be heavy but it wasn’t once I was back in the groove. Have been thinking of trading it in for a light Street Bob. My Electroglide is about 1500 lbs while the Street Bob is only 500.  My Vespa is maybe 350 lbs.  

I chipped a tooth pulling a screw driver head out of the holder.  I couldn’t grasp it with my fingers.  It wasn’t tight in. The chip was microscopic but I feel it with my tongue today. Reminder I’m still dumb.  A nail chipped off too. The glue just let the acrylic go, I love how my nails are growing strong without my biting them.  

Lydia said she had shellack on her nails and I wasn’t sure what she meant. Lovely orange pink. I’ve been wanting to ask her for PReP and estrogen. My two visits to HIM clinic one on David and the other on the Drive resulted in nothing.  Turned away , too busy.  I’m in limbo.

Thé same limbo exists with my camper. I’d be camping but Frazerway hasn’t completed the insured repair for the damage done when I hit the huge pothole hidden by the dust.  I did get the undercarriage hitch repaired and fortified on the truck. I’d just like it done.  

I was held hostage by a soldier who’d done years of combat. I survived. He told me he wanted to kill a psychiatrist.  I realized immediately that I’d spent 20 years learning to heal and save lives while he’s spent that whole time learning to kill.  I feel the same here with Frazerway. Their saleswoman has spent her whole life learning how to get advantage financially from people. She doesn’t know that we as doctors aren’t allowed to do that.  We are restricted by society and for decades now we have been ‘nationalized’.  Our income is as fixed so this Gr. 12 student or college drop out is able to play hard ball and ask me for an open cheque for them to go ahead and do the repairs claiming that the insurance quotes don’t cover the whole works. She insists it the ‘worst case scenario’ could be $20,000 or more.  I say I can afford $5000.  Then when there’s supposed to be a counter offer she ghosts me . We didn’t have our phone calls returned for weeks. I’ve been asking my insurance agent to speak to them to get this matter resolved and he says she ghosts him too and doesn’t seem to be at all reasonable. He says if she says $20000 it could be $40000.  I am stuck . I was in charge of the dangerously insane and treated countless psychopaths and she is clearly the Amber Heard types. I’ve asked to speak with the manager or owner and she’s never allowed that.  She is terribly sick. I am poor by comparison and find that as a good guy whose served all his life that people like this are always in time facing the karma of their mean spiritedness. They wander why they can’t have doctors or medical care but the young people are simply not willing to sacrifiée their lives as I have.  They’re not sub specializing because there’ s no infrastructure to support subspecialization. Increasingly the health care system is nursing care. They get to see a person with three or four years training and little experience and less supervised experience compared to my dozen years of Olympic standard education supervision and at this point having seen 10,000 patients and helped them. 

I prayed to God that I don’t want ‘vindication’.  All my enemies have had horrid consequence. I began to think St. Michael was bodyguarding me but more rationally realize since I like most doctors are ‘good’ people. We do ‘right livelihood’ and we are here least paid when like me most who are interested in ‘business and wealth’ go to the US . The jobs I turned down were millions, positions at Stanford and Berkeley to take a UBC position so I could go camping and fishing and boating and enjoy the BC wilderness.

I keep asking now if this is a sign that God wants me to leave.  The high costs and the gas costs all may Vancouver the least attractive place except for criminals an offshore elite.  

Anyway I figure by the time someone is hurting me they have hurt a long list of people the most of who are simply not good or as nice as I am. I pray to be forgiving. The last businessman who ‘gouged’ me and I took it I learned was killed weeks later by bikers.  The other fellow who hurt me developed cancer. I can’t help but believe people who are narcissistic and greedy despite believing they are themselves just caring for their children like most of the evil of the world do to justify their banality, face the karma that comes. You simply don’t abuse doctors in a pandemic and medieval emergency you. She might well be a drunk or an addict. The only judge I had difficulty with in the years I served in the courts was a terrible drunk and addict. I look at Justin Trudeau and he has a long history of addiction before and during his political life.  Again that stuff catches up.

I wake now with these thoughts on my mind.  I am seeing patients all day and rather than addressing their insanity and my own because they go together I’m dealing with this bully in my personal life.

I told my ex wife I could go to work and help a hundred people with mental illness and addiction but I can’t take care of her mental illness and addiction . I can’t do both.  I left her and divorced because she refused to get treatment for her mental illness and addiction.  Now I »m here feeling I can’t work and deal with this person who all day long is thinking how to screw a doctor.  It makes me want to put on a dress. So many women in the work place have been working out their issues by feeling righteous about fighting with men.  Look at me I’ve got a gold star because I was a bitch and pissed on a Canadian man today.  Canadian men are collectively demoralized and suffering because of elite rich organizations like Frazerway and their swaggering employees.

I’m naturally off to the self pity side of the street. My go to place. I’ve already planned to leave Canada and considered heading east to get in my sailboat and sail away.  I just don’t think my patients would be happy that I leave. I’m past retirement age. I can continue to do my work another five years but I cvan’t with this woman being as bad as other psyvhopath women I’ve encountered in my life carrying over hate from their husbands to their workplace. It’s disruptive.  She is sexist.  I’m old and she’s no longer young so grieving her halcyon days of being attractive while today she’s overweight and let herself go addicted to money and greed to make up for lost love and lost respect.  Low life.  Of course I speculate and none of this is true. We dehumanize and straw dog our oponents to make them less like us.  She’s not anymore a sinner.  My mind is the enemy.  God has some plan here.

I think I should hire a lawyer but that’s another open ended cost. War and the world.  It’s just this is going on as a siege.  9 month and Frazerway has delayed action till I’m here in the camping season, the little good weather we have in Canada and they’re withholding the tool I paid them $50,000 to have. I bought it from them. 3 years ago with all thee promises they have broken.  I may just get the tent and motorcycle and dog and go camping or rent a cabin somewhere. I can’t work and deal with psychopaths. I van’s help my patients who are not a piece of cake to those around them. The addicts I’m helping get off drugs and alcohol have a lot of damages they have to make up for when they’re clean and sober. The prisoners I helped get back on their feet have a lot of amends to make. Yet here I’m facing likely someone who is like them doing damage now because of their illness.  I’ve helped so many and helped their destruction come to an end but in AA and the 12 steps they’re supposed to make amends. So few made money amends like I once did.  This makes me question the very idea of charity and goodness. Her business model is ‘dog eat dog’ and ‘profit’ and ‘vonsumerism’ what Hare called the sociopath model of the corporation.  I should stop helping people and use my skills to kill . There’s far more money in this world killing and taking advantage of people. I could go work for Trufeau’s euthanasia machine.  There’s a hell of a lot more money in that.  Trudeau epitomizes the wealth in deceit, unethical behaviour and abusing others.  This is his world. I sometimes think of suicide in a Buddhist sort of way when I am faced with these impossible demands.  I must remember that her life is shallow and deeply unwillingly anorgasmic and so shallow that she hurts people like me.  She’s a nazi. That’s a communist mindset. That banality of evil that Arendt spoke of . Lives of quiet desperation. The sad thing is that I have treated so many businessmen, many who have become multimillionaires and they have all told me that they have been successful as businessmen by not hurting people.  Return customers and finding a reasonable solution a appealing to both. But she says $20,000 and more and I say $5000 and then she gaslights and ghosts. I desperately sick person who will not know love.  I have asked to speak with her manager or the owner as that’s to be done before I contact a lawyer or the Better Business Bureau or makes signs and sit outside the Frazerway ‘You want to know why you can’t get a doctor, because we are tied up by low life shit. ‘. Canada is a third world country. It no longer protects it’s sub specialists.  I see the young doctors getting MD and LLB or MD and Bus Admin degrees.  We did our due diligence as doctors but society has fallen.  We can’t depend upon business and have to use our big brains to protect ourselves from barbariand.  Rome has fallen Trudeau is in charge.  This is the spiritual war going on.  

It’s what RD Laing called a ‘knot’. I’m supposed to learn from this. I’m right back in that hostage situation knowing that I devoted my life to healing so this is now in God’s hands. I’ve simply got to surrender and pray.  

I have to give thanks too that I’m not suffering like most of the old people in Canada’s whose pensions have been stolen by Trudeau and who are facing worsening poverty due to the inflation that is the mismanagement of the economy and waste and corruption that is Trudeau.  Those on fixed incomes tell me they van’s afford meat and the tea and toast elderly are a thing of the present in Trudeau Canada.  Thank you God for my Cadillac problem, the issue of camping and having a holiday from work and the city The reason I’m living in BC is camping. I took the job at UBC rather than Stanford for the camping but now that I’m old and the price of gas makes the wilderness too costly to enjoy I really have to think about leaving here. That’s what 10’s of thousands or a hundred thousand have done in the last year.  I was offered a job in Costa Rica an another recruiter is asking me to come to Ontario. I’ve always had offers to leave but I’ve friends and work and frankly just do the next right thing and as long as I feel safe I keep working but I’m feeling under attack.  I feel that this person who represents this company is saying she wants me dead.  She loves money more than people.  I am lost and even now just want to crawl back to bed . I’m in a flashback with my addicted ex wife who won’t go to treatment and instead goes off to get more cocaine . I feel that same helpless hopeless feeling like I do when I see the nauseating facile face of stupid Trudeau the greatest fool Canada has ever known. Must be like when King George III with his syphilitic brain was in charge of England and they lost AMerica.  

I’m too old for this shit. I’m tired. I’ve worked so long and hard and like everyone I know we’re tired and we just want to go camping.   

New Day, new week

Madigan and I just saw Laura off. Having her over for the weekend was wonderful.  Good excuse to do little, chat, watch tv, do errands and eat great meals.  Madigan was in heaven. Laura is his mommy but he forgets at times with his psychotic puppy brain and thinks she’s his girlfriend, trying to hump her leg when I’m not watching.  Aim called Gilbert ‘the humper’.  I’m thinking this is why young males get kicked out of the cave.  In fairness he’s actually learning the commands ‘no’, and ‘down’. 

It really was great having this time together. The Saturday outing was a trip to a couple of Bosley’s looking for his favourite Tikki food, specifically Greece, and a new water bottle attachment for trips in the truck

Linda Nankov at Flight Centre organized our holiday accommodation with no penalties if we had to cancel 48 hours before. With Covid and quarantine rules I didn’t want to be ‘locked’ into a hotel room.  

Thaun Vo at Rand and Fowler who takes care of all my vehicle insurance is arranging for us to have travel insurance .  It was exciting to be planning with Laura.

Then the two of us began thinking of camping this summer.

Last month it was so bleak. I had difficulty getting out of bed and getting through the day.  It’s the sun’s effect. 

I even charged the battery on my Harley. It was a time as usual to try and find how to remove the seat to get to the battery but I found the battery charger without difficult and the ratchets and screw driver. The whole process went without a glych.

We were sorry to hear a friend had a heart attach when the heart arteries were already too small for a stint. He had emergency open heart surgery and now has a 6 month recovery period. We’re so glad he lived. He’s a wonderful man.  So many of these guys with a ‘big heart’ seem to care for everyone till their actual heart bursts.  I’m pleased he didn’t work himself to death and I’m really pleased the scientific advances in cardiology are so advanced.  

We got more gummy vitamins. Laura turned me on to them.  Candy medicine.  I could only find Vitamin D in the Sesame Street brand so that’s what I’ve got.  When I was a kid everything that was good for you tasted terrible.

We even bought Madigan a new thin dog bed he hasn’t eaten yet. He eviscerated both the stuffed ones.  I changed the sheets and comforter covers and pillow cases because Laura was coving over. It really was nice to have clean sheets. I blame her for the work, like I blame her for all the comfort and luxury I add in my life not admitting I really enjoy it too. The joke is the guys call the camper, ‘Laura’s camper’ because she’d done her time tenting and wanted a shower and more protection from the bears.  I love the camper and was pleased to learn this weekend that it will be ready for spring and summer camping.  

It’s so hard to believe how good I feel when before Christmas I was literally crawling on my belly to the finishing line, so disheartened and depressed and fatigued with such a daily grind of chronic pain  Then Harrisons and the hot springs and more time with Laura and now I’m actually feeling joyful and hopeful.

Dr. Bonnie Henry is rolling back the pandemic to endemic status.  The tracking and tracing has finally stopped. I’ll be glad when the lockdowns are totally lifted.  It’s happening in Europe.  

I’m very thankful.  The weather is supposed to be warm like this for a few more days. We had fog with the inversion.  

It’s a new day, a new week, a new year. I wrote a song and played it and recorded it and was thankful people were kind.  I even played guitar again this week.  Too much time is spent on social media.  I’ve been reading a lot of books and watching tv, often with a travel perspective. The History of Modern ARt, the History of Scotland, the Stuart MacBride Scottish detective novels set in Aberdeen, the Louvre.  I completed my MOCOMP cycle successfully again despite 2020 Covid restriction. I may attend the positive psychology conference here in the summer or go to IDAA or both. I’ve so enjoyed attending the IDAA meetings on line, seeing all the old friends, feeling connected.  I’d not realized how disconnected I’d become. It was a bit like early days covid when the Rolling Stones ‘living in a ghost town’ summed it up. Now it’s just the tedium.  The Trucker Drive on Ottawa is taking place. I think Trudeau winning the election was the point when I lost faith in elections and concluded that the digital elections were open to fraud . If smart guys can hack everything else it’s got to be no difficulty hacking elections. Obviously Trudeau is who the Communist Chinese Army wants as Prime Minister.  I think of Wallace Freedom and realize the majority of recent immigrants unlike refugees are economic migrants who don’t share the ‘values’ that we knew as Canadians, « True North Proud and Free. ». Just like every other third world country we have this dictator want to be with all the corruption we once thought was Africa or Asia’s but is now the Canadian model. I talked to South Americans’ and they’re only surprised that we were optimistic.  We watched Matrix Resurrected.  

The truth is within.  The storms come and go like on the boat but the sun shines and fair winds and following seas eventually arrive. Spring is always so beautiful in Vancouver. The daffodils and crocuses and the returning birds.  It’s all so uplifting. 

I’m so blessed. Thank you Jesus. Thank you God of God. Thank you Lord of Lords.  Hallelujah!!!!
