Yes we are still here blogging!
After a few weeks in Florida, we headed back to Texas fully loaded. We picked up some very good stuff at my friend Arick's house in Ocala: a kitchen sink, a bathroom sink, two 6 volt batteries, wind turbine blades, and a permanent magnet alternator for wind power. We were also able to diagnose and fix Arick's neighbors car. It needed a cam sensor, and we did the diagnosis with just a multi-meter. On the trip back I drove our truck with the gasifier trailer on back and Sara drove her recently acquired Suzuki Aerio, I hope that's the last time we will drive two vehicles in the same direction. The truck should be living in TX from now on and the Suzuki will provide good mpg's on paved road trips.
Our house was just as we left it and we have been busy unpacking and continuing building since we got back. We got the insulation and wall covering up on the bedroom side of the house and should be getting our mattress today via UPS. The house stays amazingly cool during the heat of the day, lots of natural air flow and shade from the overhangs are responsible for this. We still don't have our phone and internet hooked up yet but the deadline is next week so hopefully we'll be online by then. For now we our using internet when we can, today that's at a local diner in town -- a 30 mile trip but we needed some supplies also.
Much to do on our homestead; thanks for following.
