Good Morning

It's 10:45 a.m. I got up this morning and made coffee and sat at the window looking out thinking of what to do today. My first thought was breakfast. My idea of Egg salad, Asian salad, mushrooms, chunks of chicken with an egg on top and avocado sauce mixed in the salad. It was actually good.
Still haven't figured what to do so, I will tell you what I have been doing. I added another solar panel and bought a new charge controller to manage the increase in watts. It works great. 
My new charge controller
The left number is volts and the right is amps. With just one panel, I didn't get anywhere near these numbers. Now, I can run everything all day long. Refrigerator, freezer, lights, tv and so on.
I found this mini washing machine on Ebay, it measures 2'Hx2'w, 1'.15"d, this washer is great. It has a washer part and a part that spin dries.
Washer on the left and spin dry on the right. It also has a hose on the side to drain the water.
$70+$24 expedited shipping
This machine will save me time and money. The nearest laundromat is 30 miles making it a 60 mile round trip, $12 to wash and $3 to dry and my day is wasted.


Because of the weather, rain and snow, I put up a temporary clothesline inside.


As you can see, the snow is starting to melt, at least in the front.

Sunset last night
Dinner last night, Rigatoni with Hot Italian sausage and bell peppers.

OK, that's it for now. When I had asked about doing videos {VLOGS}, I didn't quite get the response I thought I would from those who commented. So, here's what I decided to do. I will attempt to do a post every other day about the day before and throw in a short video now and then. There should be a lot to talk about.

Spring, Summer and Fall is a very important time for people who live off grid and/or remote. This is when all the work needs to be done including gardening and Fall is when we prepare for the Winter months.

I hope I can entertain everyone with my posts. I plan to go fishing more and taking some road travels. As usual

TAKE CARE

An apology

I have to apologize to all of you but, I had mistakenly deleted your comments. I feel really bad and tried to put them back but, I couldn't.  Again, I am very sorry.
