Good Morfnoevight All you happy Caturday Live Stoners.
The Pasta salad is chilling in the refrigerator, as soon as Ms. MOG gets hungry we will be eating. I am starving now
It is fooking hot in my back yard already 106°F 2:30pm in the shade.
The big thing here is refrigerator / freezer for your off grid solar. Be realistic about what you can live without, eating canned food gets old real fast. Internet, lights and TV are the next power users that are hard to live without (at least for me). I am guessing solar is a viable option where you are looking?
Frank I did several shows in the town of Corcoran at the fairgrounds. The wind is north west at about 20-22mph almost every night in the summer. You cannot do a commercial show if the wind goes over 25 MPH steady for 30 minutes, so it was borderline. I had to aim my mortars at about 50° into the wind so they would get blown back over the firing zone. If the wind stopped the shells would go off over the houses that all had cedar shake roofs. It was a nightmare. By the end of the shows I felt like I had run a marathon. I never had a fire there. I burned up about 10 acres of grass in Chowchilla once. The sponsor owned the property and the speedway he paid all the fines to the fire department and had us back the next year. He said it was just part of doing business? I started a few other fire but we put those out ourselves.
