Will Prowse caught them mislabling the 300ah version and they addressed it right away. If you need a battery for an RV or 12v stuff, these look good.

Common lore holds that digging during a full moon gives you left-over dirt.

How many of you know this???

The problem is that wages never rise as fast as prices. This means you loose ground slowly over years. Presently the average perdon in the US is in a state of survival not able to save a thing.

The good news today is that tonight you may see northern lights at lower than normal latitudes. The bad news is a good sized CME just erupted from the sun. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d2OjclC61xU

Just got back from a neighbor's house. The on going solar project of his. He decided last week to move his meterbase closer to the road so he could move his shipping containers further from the center of the property to make a little more room for the solar arrays. Yesterday we spent the day covering up the trench we dug to expose the service feed from the pole. Then he installed two ground rods. Got them almost in the ground all the way and one missed stroke with the sledge and he broke the handle off. So he decided that could wait until today to finish with a new sledge. Finished pounding the posts in this morning and he called hte power company to get power turned back on and they want an inspection. I knew this was coming but I figured he had an "in" with the power company. he doesn't. So it turns out the zoning and planning here is so rural they have to borrow an inspector from another county and he only works Tuesdays and thursdays. Ahhhhh the speed of government.

Another issue he's having is that city water is available and he used to have a mobile home on this property. But he turned off the water 3 years ago since there was no need in paying $30 a month for not using water. So he went to turn on the water and they decided this year that "there are fixed and variable costs associated with water lines" and so if you have had the water shut off for 3-5 years you must pay the $30 a month x number of months no service in order to restore service. If >5 years they want even more money to do a "meter upgrade". What a racket.

He's not having a good week.

He loves collecting things and piling them up in middle of the yard.

Lessons from Bulgaria

I just love the videography in this.

9mm is 21c a round at bulkammo for those interested.

Back in the day we didn't have internet. Get offa my lawn. This was before the time when computers screamed at each other over the phone lines. We had a thing called sneaker net. We shuttled floppy disks by hand.

When the SHTF, long winter nights will be.... long. It will be nice to have a book or even a dumb sitcom to watch. People who visit could connect to a small WIFI file server and download TV shows, movies or books.

Certainly you can do this with a raspberry PI or you can buy a travel router with a USB port. I have this particular one and you can plug a flash drive into it and save and share files. It's $30.
