Dear TeamToddTBI,

Here is a map of virtual flights I completed this week from my bicycle trainer: “https://drive.google.com/file/d/1jmR2wiYpSBeg5sZR35OBlFyGX7upoeFh/view?usp=drive_link”

I want to infect others with the same joy I gain from my virtual flights. Perhaps I have been aiming too high: Joe Biden, NIH, Experimental Aviation Association, Virginia Tech Engineering Science and Mechanics, etc. I know that my concept requires stamina coupled with mental effort but the satisfaction gained from those efforts offsets those costs for me.

I continue to work on re-configuring a Raspberry Pi 5 to utilize my concept of controlling an aircraft throttle position with bicycle rear wheel speed. Asking for desktop computer or laptop to be co-located with a bike trainer may have been asking too much. I can hold a Pi 5 in my left hand: there is no way it takes up too much space.

Church: I was good in church and was rewarded with a Tennessee Pride Breakfast Casserole (think sausage and eggs)

Todd

Hello TEAMTODD!

Where do I start??? Todd reads what I write before he sends off the update. Everything I write is unedited by Todd. Todd allows me to write freely MY thoughts as he writes his own.

As I mentioned last week, Todd spends too much time in the basement working on his own projects, raspberry pi and making his airplane bike available to everyone. I also think Todd is developing some OCD symptoms. Todd’s routines direct his life.

We must find a way to offer Todd other venues to direct his energy. Todd is still very much a genius BUT Todd and his skills must be pointed in the right direction so Todd is fulfilled and he is making a difference.

DEAR FRIENDS, Please pray as we work with Todd to find the right connection for volunteer work. Todd has much to offer and is so willing.

Todd has decided the time is right to start driving again. YAY!!! This afternoon he and I did some practice runs around the neighborhood. The spinner knob in the new location on the steering wheel seems to be working for Todd. I will be working with Todd over the next few weeks as he regains his confidence in driving. We both will look for opportunities for Todd to practice and get back in the grove again.

Thank you all for staying with us AND! PLEASE! Pass on the new website to others who may be interested.

TEAMTODD! YOU ALL ARE A BLESSING TO US!!! We have accomplished much because of your interest, your prayers. We still need you, please stay with us.

St. Luigi, Pray for all of Todd’s blog followers.
