Summer, Winter ... what's the difference?

img_1217.jpgimg_1218.jpgWell, we're getting more clouds all of a sudden, including the one photographed above.  It looked like rain, but the sky was just teasing us!

img_4600 (Modified).jpgAnd chickens always seem to find the oddest places to roost.  I guess a leaf spring is as good as anything else...

img_4602 (Modified).jpgimg_4604 (Modified).jpgimg_4606 (Modified).jpgWe are much closer to finishing our off-grid RV job.  The panels are mounted, the batteries are on site, and all the parts are in.  All that's left for us is the installation of the charge controller and inverter, and wiring everything together.  Those panels are a beautiful sight as you ride down Ranch Road!

img_4607 (Modified).jpgWe even got to spend a little time on our own projects, like hauling gravel from the stream for concrete.
img_4610.jpgThe gravel pile is getting bigger!  Soon we'll be ready to pour the shed floor, and after that the rest of the structure should go together quite fast.

img_4611.jpgWe didn't get stuck in the creek bed when we were hauling gravel, but ...

img_4613.jpgWe did manage to get the red truck buried up to it's axles in the sand behind our house.  Completely unloaded, too!

img_4615.jpgIt took several tries with the white truck to pull it out. 

img_4619.jpgAnd when Casey lowered the air pressure in the tires, some rocks got stuck in the bead of the tire.

img_4620.jpgAt times, it seemed like we were going to end up with two stuck trucks, but thankfully everything ended well.  Took some life off the tires though, that's for sure!
