Thanks, I'm glad you liked it! I work to not sound too 'engineerzy' on the explanations. I'm Piecing together a solar and wind off grid system for my homestead, so I'm studying things hard. Sometimes the

Thanks for the share, it's nice to be noticed! 👍🤠💗😆💙😋🙏😳

All the more reason to avoid them totally! But I can't agree that they should insert themselves into a cash transaction between myself and my sister...none of their damn business. Public schools have failed

I originally signed in to discuss actual gemstones, which are a hobby of mine. I have left this active to allow me to counter vote All downvotes, as an objection to censor! I don't plan to post any more

Covid is a political tool, but that's fitting because most politicians are tools too! I intend to manage in spite of the mess they make of things. Someone has to rebuild.... The only good thing that will

Practice feeds competence, so you have a great idea! Concocting a home made tool, is closer to real life than anything else. Excellent practice. 👍🤠💗🙏🌿🥦😋🤕😳

I'll never be ready, but I'm getting close enough to make a good try for it! I picked up another building today for a good price. Running low on storage space, this should çover it well. 👍🤠💗🙏🌿🥦🐟⚡

Sadly it's true, hyperinflation is here; so get what's possible, and we'll have to make the rest! Trading fiat currency for hard assets is wise right now, while there is still some value there! We are

Frozen milk is okay, but will need to be shaken before use, as it separates. I've avoided freezing for long term storage just in case power becomes rare! 👍💗🙏🤠⚡

Yes, I plan to use aquaponics for my food. Planning 4 parallel systems in a wallipini greenhouse. I also have a 50 gallon tank for a test system in the house possibly. 👍😁💗🙏🐟🐡🌿🥦
