#Plutarch #ParallelLives #Pericles 17/

Pericles did not accede to the vain impulses of the citizens, nor was he swept along with the tide when they were eager, from a sense of their great power and good fortune, to lay hands again upon Egypt and molest the realms of the King which lay along the sea.

Many also were possessed already with that inordinate and inauspicious passion for Sicily which was afterwards kindled into flame by such orators as Alcibiades. And some there were who actually dreamed of Tuscany and Carthage, and that not without a measure of hope, in view of the magnitude of their present supremacy and the full-flowing tide of success in their undertakings.

But Pericles was ever trying to restrain this extravagance of the citizens, to lop off their expansive meddlesomeness, and to divert the greatest part of their forces to the guarding and securing of what they had already won.

[Sections 20/21]

EDIT: goal MET IN ONE GO by one VERY generous donor!
Next goal coming up!

Our #roadsafety need for a #tyrechange on the #Vulpibus is getting critical. The #tyres the bus came with are from 2012, worn and developing cracks. They are #inflated to the 115psi they are supposed to have, but a #blowout is becoming a matter of when, not if. Since we would rather not end up stranded in a ditch, this is an ASAP #urgent call out for #mutualaid. It's gonna be about $1200 because at least the front 2 tyres have to be new. The back 4 can be used, though getting new is obviously better.

We need to build stability, a dollar a month at a time.

I am also now making a start on building my bed frame! Stud wall timber and wood from old pallets! Really deep countersinking!
Long chamfers!
Planing!
Sawing!
Drilling!
Screwdriving!
Interlocking slats!
Steps in the end of the bathroom wall!
Etcetera!

Thanks very much for all the help we've already received, and the patience you have shown us. We hope our progress is gratifying, even though it takes a while.

So today is not going entirely to plan.
The set of additional #solarpanels I connected up refuse to give us juice. I tried to trace the fault and got jack shit info because my cheap ass 19 year old #multimeter is (confirmed by many tests now) not working any more. Its fuse is fine too, as is its #battery. It just displays zeros.
So add to the list of unexpected expenses and delays one new multimeter...

#mutualaid is our lifeline to #selfsufficiency so we can help others. Can you help us out with our expenses for...?

Multimeter: $7-8 at Harbor Freight
Crimp connectors: $?
Tyres: ~$1200 (Vulpibus)
Refilling fuel: ~$100
Refilling my overdraft: ~$500
Refilling my other overdraft: ~$250
