Hello, friends, I look forward to meditation and dialog with all of those who are coming. My health has been up and down, yo-yo-like since I was a teenager, and it only gets more down, and less up, as this body ages, and the effort needed to survive.
This week my van had a down turn in health as well, which required me to sweat bullets on repairing it for 6 days. It is now running again; however, the consequence of the effort has been a down turn in my health for the last 3 days, but there is noticeable improvement every day with rest, and energy is almost back to normal. However, do keep in mind that I might be bed-ridden, 0r hobbling around on crutches during the retreat.
I do have video equipment, and my goal has been to video all of the dialogs at the GWV retreats; however, most of our best dialogs tend to happen during meal preparation and eating, which does not make for good videography.
I recently discovered the primary cause of the demise of most of my previous laptops was due to the use of digital inverters, verses true sine inverters, which are more expensive. Note: I need to use an inverter for power to convert solar generated DC to A/C to run my laptops, and doing so I found it is cooking the power supplies of my laptops. So until a true sine inverter is acquired, then my access to the internet, and videography will have to be limited.
I did do some shopping for a true sine inverter and found that they have come down in price recently and found two reasonably priced
1000W inverters for under $150. I do not have that money, but when I can save it up, then the purchase will be at the top of the shopping list. Please click the link above, if you are interested in purchasing one for yourself, or plan to contribute to its purchase for the GWV.
