750 watt inverter - Sam's Club - $19.81 (+tax)

The first three inverters i picked up were out of perceived necessity.  I picked up this one because it was simply to good of a deal to pass up....and it works very well thus far.  For comparison sake, the last one i bought from sams club was 400 watts for $29.98.

long weekend in Montello....

the girls and I took off for a long weekend in Montello. the weather was overcast, occasionally rainy, and windy as hell! on the bright side, the wind generator ran all weekend and powered all of our electrical needs. we cut a 55 gallon drum in two parts....using the top for a new fire ring and the bottom as a watering hole to attract the local habitat. we never saw the watering hole being used, but more than a few smores and hotdogs were cooked in the fire ring. we ran into a few familiar faces and had a number of good meals at the Cowboy. it was a good trip, as it furthered my resolve to live this lifestyle as much as i can. i can't wait to get back!!!!
















the video reflects the blades and speed of the wind generator in an odd fashion. the blades are not curved and they were spinning at such a fast rate that you couldn't see them at all!!!

a few pics from last trip....

jeep on the right, pilot mountain on the left, and sagebrush!!!

FREE - wood burning stove

My neighbor has this wood burning stove sitting on the side of his house that he wants to give away. It could use a wire wheel brush taken to it and a can of heat resistant paint. Otherwise, it looks to be in good shape. Anyone interested?
