Song from the 1970's.
The preacher man says it's the end of time
And the Mississippi River, she's a-goin' dry
The interest is up and the stock market's down
And you only get mugged if you go downtown
I live back in the woods, you see
My woman and the kids and the dogs and me
I got a shotgun, a rifle and a four-wheel drive
And a country boy can survive
Country folks can survive
I can plow a field all day long
I can catch catfish from dusk 'til dawn (yeah)
We make our own whiskey and our own smoke too
Ain't too many things these old boys can't do
We grow good-ole tomatoes and homemade wine
And a country boy can survive
Country folks can survive
Because you can't starve us out and you can't make us run
'Cause we're them old boys raised on shotguns
We say grace, and we say ma'am
If you ain't into that, we don't give a damn
We came from the West Virginia coal mines
And the Rocky Mountains, and the western skies
And we can skin a buck, we can run a trotline
And a country boy can survive
Country folks can survive
I had a good friend in New York City
He never called me by my name, just hillbilly
My grandpa taught me how to live off the land
And his taught him to be a businessman
He used to send me pictures of the Broadway nights
And I'd send him some homemade wine
But he was killed by a man with a switchblade knife
For 43 dollars, my friend lost his life
I'd love to spit some beech nut in that dude's eyes
And shoot him with my old .45
'Cause a country boy can survive
Country folks can survive
'Cause you can't starve us out and you can't make us run
'Cause we're them old boys raised on shotguns
We say grace, and we say ma'am
If you ain't into that, we don't give a damn
We're from North California and South Alabam'
And little towns all around this land
And we can skin a buck, and run a trotline
And a country boy can survive
Country folks can survive
A country boy can survive
Country folks can survive
The preacher man says it's the end of time
And the Mississippi River, she's a-goin' dry

Cloudy day and wife is cooking. So I figured why not exercise the generator. This is a 5kw diesel MEP 802a. Right now Iβm running about 80% loaded. Right now itβs running a eg4 100amp battery charger directly. The only connection it has to my system is directly to the batteries.
You may also note that the frequency is set to 62hz. The reason is that if, in the future I connect it directly to my house 240v system I want it to be at 62hz so my solar inverters donβt back feed it. When solar inverters see 62hz they sit by and make zero power.
If you do use ac coupled inverters be sure to idle your genny at 62hz. If it has a high load itβll bog down a little and the solar will add to the power.
If you want one of these generators I can hook you up with a guy in alabama.

You can easily home brew this... but food for thought. I thiink he said one of these sprinklers was $250.... laughable. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s4IxFfAhZto

Mass heaters. Build a large masonry structure with channels all through it. Burn a fast clean fire and heat that masonry. After the fire goes out it continues to radiate heat into your house. Germans, Poles and Russians did this for hundreds of years.
