Sometimes I think I take this ‘hermit’ thing too far. If I’m remembering correctly it has literally been years since I last visited the big town about 50 miles away. But today’s the day. I’m so excited my stomach is already griping.
Neighbor S, who actually makes money building off-grid power systems, has more grunt with vendors than I do. So a seasonally-closed retailer who won’t give me the courtesy of a return phone call will come out and open his doors for Neighbor S. And Neighbor S has graciously volunteered to use that superpower on Neighbor Joel’s behalf. So that’s what we’re doing this morning. If things go to plan, by mid-afternoon Ian’s Cave will have a whole bank of new batteries. When that turns out to have happened I’ll be ever so proud of myself. If it fails to pan out I’ll have taken a stressful journey to a place with lots of people for nothing.
Stay tuned, I guess…
Out of curiosity, when youre done couldja report on what kind of batteries, how many, and how much $?
To sort of quote Red Green: We’re all pullin’ for ya.
Over the years I’ve come to really enjoy hunkering down, so I understand what you’re saying, I hope things pan out Joel. Good luck to you.
