Off grid adventure

Power corrupts! Absolute Power Corrupts absolutely!

That is why We 'Mericans have the 4th Amendment!

My Dad has a well and water rights to his Property. His neighbor had water rights and No Well. Two years ago they decided in His county, that any and all "new" wells would get a meter and you get a bill! But people "owned" their water rights! Uh what!!!

It's called enclosure of the commons. Just another way to gain control.

Well I now have limited internet when the weather wants to cooperate. Last couple days have been colder then ever but I'm warm and dry. Truck is giving me issues but I'm trying to get my other truck on the road. I'll post pics as soon as I can find my **** charger.

Well at least you are staying warm and dry. Bet the food is better than what we have.

Well I buried the tractor in the swamp and it froze, been south for last couple months till the tractor thaws enough to get it out. Working on a new battery for off grid as the lead acid sulfated so bad their only good as a boat anchor now. 300 x 18650 lithium ion laptop batteries used in laptops hooked 3s 100p for 12 volt dc and roughly 200 AH. google diy powerwall HB powerwall and hes got tons of vids and a forum site full of info. Might even be a ELECTRIC gocart there for someone with some interest, ZERO fuel 100% torque Should be back up in couple weeks.

Good to hear from you felineman!! I have been wondering how you have been faring this winter

Least you're​ still alive and kicking. Now how'd you manage to swap a tractor?

Was plowing snow from the lane and I have about 1000' of 70 year old dirt road through a swampy area that gave way, about 150 ft of the road is half missing length wise. So I have to back the tractor out and repair road somehow. Going back up in about a week to finish truck and then get tractor out and try to repair the road will probably take most of the spring.
