Just some thoughts.... Spoke to my wife this morning about "voter issues". Saw a chart the other day that showed the most important issue to young women is the right to kill their babies (couched in euphemisms of course.). Jennifer Annistan just said she voted for "reproductive freedom". The first thing my wife keyed on this was that JA doesn't even have children. Society has gone so far toward perversion and sin that they tell us Christianity is the thing that's extreme. Guess it depends where you are sitting eh? Me thinks the "far right" isn't as far from center as those of the far far left would have us believe.

One thing is for sure.... a pendulum is gunna swing just as far one direction as the other. It sure seems as if the left is actually pulling the pendulum their way... cocking it even. 10 years ago my wife read the handmaids tale and was horrified at the thought of a theocracy like that. About 3 years ago she said to me that "we deserve it". This morning we were discussing how the number one issue of young girls is killing their babies.... that young men are rejecting 304 culture and want kids... how abortion clinics should require the consent of the men (ie its either rape and they get a morning after pill at a hospital or it was consensual and the man should have rights to baby - her words). Indeed many young men are waking up and realizing the parallels between the debauchery in Germany in the late 1920s juxtaposed against the law & order and morality of the German people after 1933.

One thing is for sure.... the pendulum has already begun to swing away from the debauchery. The question at this point is how far will it swing the other way.

Again, just me thinking.... tying all this into the upcoming US election. If Kamala wins, it will be the result of a cheat. Even if she legit wins the election process has been sullied and carries no legitimacy. If she wins, things could go as far as several states seceding, there could be a lot of shooting. Or the country could just fail with a whimper. I tend to think that people on the right are more likely to focus on their family and their communities than storm the capital. If Trump wins, we get a shot of adrenaline in the arm that lasts about two years.... then the economy collapses because more and more nations go to BRICS and the US's chickens come home to roost.

Either way, through violence or passively, the economy and society will collapse. The cities will be a killing field for the criminally violent. Probably 2/3 or 80% of the country will succumb to violent deaths or simple starvation. You know who's gunna make it? Those who can work together cooperatively! I hate to say it but it is such an over the top example.... look at africa. Land mass the size of 5 other continents, natural resources beyond belief.... yet the people can't work together and often are in famine. There has been no technical or scientific progress there because the people prevent each other from getting ahead. People with those inbred tendencies will not flourish in the US or EU without government aid... and that's about to cease.

Just my rano thoughts. Carry on.

Hoffman Tactical - KF5 Goes Super Safe

The Battle of Athens was an armed rebellion led by WWII veterans and citizens in Athens and Etowah, Tennessee, United States, against the tyrannical local government in August 1946.

Removing panels from my roof after 8 years. Panels went on when roof was 17 year old. We expected 25 years from it and now it’s time for a roof.

These shingles were not covered by panels.

These shingles were covered by panels. Frankly they look worse than the ones exposed to sun light.

I ordered a new SMA sunny boy inverter for my barn last week and connected it to 13 275w panels today. It made power from the barn. So with that, we decided to remove the last of the panels from the house roof. Tomorrow I’ll finish installing 275w panels on the barn.

Last week I put a transfer switch in the basement that will allow me to select if the barn system is direct export to the grid or in winter or extremely cloudy days I can move that barn inverter to the house system.

It. Would. Work.

Just my thought for the day.... I have a friend from Germany's son visiting this week and took him to the air force museum in Dayton Ohio. It should have been a very patriotic thing... rah rah rah 'Mericuh! In the past couple of years I've been able to educate myself about things like "all wars are banker wars" and the real causes of ww2. Lets just say it contradicts what I was taught in high school history. Regardless of which side we should have fought on in ww2, we can say that it was at least a fair fight. A bunch of countries with similar technical prowess fought each other.

That said, as I moved through the museum to the Korea/Vietnam building, I became quite upset. The asian people we waged war on were primitive. It was extremely lop sided. But never fear, MacNamara made sure the rules of engagement meant we could never win. The government just kept sending checks to Lockheed and fighting age men to the meat grinder. The US lost 58,220 men... but how many Vietnamese were killed? And for WHAT? to save them from communism? Hell that might have been a step up for them. I've got to do some digging to find out what role the banks played in the outcome of both wars.... South Korea certainly got a booming economy, but did they get a central bank to go along with it? I gotta research.

Afghanistan was another lop sided fight. and Iraq. My takeaway from Vietnam, AF and Iraq is that it's one thing to occupy a country and march your tanks to the capital. It is quite another to hold that country. Desperate people resort to guerrilla warfare. Rules of Engagement and the Geneva Convention are for the remote controllers of a war. When you are fighting for your family, survival and freedom, the gloves are off. Here in the USA we have more guns that people. If it should come to blows, take inspiration from the underdogs that were able to antagonize a technically superior force into retreat. It will not come without loss of life however.

Borrowed a solar power meter from another off gridder today. Connected to a few of my 275w 8 year old panels and got 230-240w. Washed off one of the panels and got a lot of just black dirt on a rag. Power went to 248w. This means that my 40 panels on the barn don’t make 11kw, they will make 9.9kw. But it’s ok because I’m pairing them with a 6kw inverter anyway.



Checked against some other panels I had laying around. 330w panel made 320. 370w panel made 360.

Also cool to see… the older panels are full wafer and blocking one wafer kills the panel by half. On the newer half cell panels blocking one wafer knocks production down 1/3. Much better for partial shade applications.
