Very long update
Congrats Peter! Love the thought of being nomadic.
I am finding it hard to be as "nomadic" as I thought I would be. There is always something coming up that requires my attention.
I have given my advice to schedule things in the first week of the month so the rest of the month is free. There are always bills or something that comes up then.
I have gone though several medical test. I am good to go.
BTW, since I am now a senior citizen, I can buy "geezer" passes to the state and federal parks. The state park "geezer" pass allows me to camp at a state park for 10 days with for just a registration feed of $10 However, the pass cost $105 all together but the state parks cost up to $45 a day so it doesn't take long to break even. My federal pass allows me to camp at half price. Federal camps provide little but that is the way I like it. I don't stay at RV parks where there are too many people, no forests, no space and no calm. I have a Garmin GPS and satellite phone so I can go into the sticks/wild. When I arrive I send at text message that includes a map of where I am. Can't be without my satellite phone when it comes to safety. It is an Garmin InReach.
If I were in the UK I would probably buy a narrow boat. I watch narrow boat videos on YouTube. I like the idea of lots of solar panels. A narrow boat has MUCH more room that may truck camper. An electric powered bike seems like just the thing. It would be hard to get lost there so a satellite phone isn't required. I would be tempted to get a Star Link dish system.
More,
I don't want to die with out figuring out Einstein's proofs. I have gotten through time dilation which isn't hard once you make the big assumption that the speed of light is always the same not matter where you are.
I bought a Raspberry PI 4.0 Canakit. It is OK for learning but not much else. The 4 ARM core processors are OK but there is no GPU so video suffers. For $150US you can't expect much more. The main goal is to learn Linux. I haven't got into the ARM itself.
Also, we/Delta have been told that the Power PC line is coming to an end. We will switch to ARM CPUs sometime in the future.
I am no longer the motion contributor of H&P magazine as the H&P magazine is now defunct. The parent company of Hydraulics and Pneumatics magazine decide to merge it with another magazine. This will mean hydraulic info will be harder to obtain. If you are interested in Hydraulics or even Pneumatic control the download my articles while they are still there.
I obviously have MORE time to "harass"/educate you guys.
Even more, over 10 years ago I was asked to write a book about hydraulic servo control. The problem was that the book would cost about $200 and the publisher would get most of the profits. It wasn't worth it back then. Now I can make articles that are easy to publish. I use LaTex, scalable vector graphic files, .svg and word .docx files. I really like LaTex. I wish this site would support it. My site does.
Here is an example from my site. It is between forum member Norm D and me

Don't the equations look a lot better?
