Dash Lights, Alternator Fix, and Lessons from the Road
This episode kicks off with a hands-on story — the kind every off-grid RVer or DIY mechanic knows too well.
After a routine grocery run, the red battery light came on during a dark, hilly Tennessee drive. What followed was a crash course in quick diagnostics, borrowed tools, and patience. A remanufactured alternator arrived thanks to some local friends, but not before a bent pulley, an impact wrench rescue, and a reminder that having the right tools is just as important as the part itself.
When it was all over, the truck was charging again, the gauges reset themselves, and everything — except the stubborn tire pressure light — was working like new. It’s the kind of fix that keeps The LOTS Project rolling, literally.
Northern Lights in Tennessee: The Tinfoil Comes Out
Midweek brought something you don’t often see this far south — Northern Lights glowing over Tennessee. The skies lit up red instead of the usual green and blue hues, and social media lit up even brighter.
Brian shared his firsthand look and then dove into the theories: HAARP, chemtrails, Project Blue Beam, and even the mysterious 3I/Atlas. Between jokes about tinfoil hats and honest curiosity about solar flares and sun cycles, it turned into one of the funniest and most thought-provoking segments of the week.
The takeaway? Whether it’s solar physics or internet speculation, it’s always worth asking questions — just don’t forget to laugh while you do it.
Bitcoin News: Square Adds Lightning Power
To wrap up the show, Brian covered one of the biggest Bitcoin adoption stories of the month. Jack Dorsey’s Square announced full integration for Bitcoin payments through its POS systems. That means small businesses can now:
- Accept Bitcoin directly,
- Auto-convert part of sales into BTC, or
- Get exposure to Bitcoin through everyday transactions.
It’s another solid step toward mainstream Lightning adoption — exactly the kind of incremental progress Bitcoiners have been waiting for.
The episode also revisited the weekly Bitcoin Price Guessing Contest inside the LOTS Project Telegram chat, with prices all over the map but community fun staying strong.

Southern Hospitality and Bible Pathways
Just to keep things interesting, the week also included two church invitations and a friendly offer of a Bible Pathways pamphlet during a morning walk. Only in small-town Tennessee can you fix an alternator, debate solar physics, and be invited to Thanksgiving at a church all in the same weekend.
