Edison failed 10,000 times before he made the electric light. Do not be discouraged if you fail a few times.<\/p>\n

Out of water again, i went out for a big a bowl of snow. I looked at a pair of solar panels that were covered im snow. I trudged through the 2 feet deep snow and tried to sweep them off.<\/p>\n

They were covered in 2 inches of snow with a half inch of ice underneath that. I cleaned them the best I could then went back to my snow gathering.<\/p>\n

Once inside I looked in the fire box. Some of yesterdays wood pellets had trured to charcoal.<\/p>\n

I went back outside a grabbed a 40 pound sack of pellets to put on top of the smoldering ones. I added some cardboard strips and a couple pieces of wood. Soon a fire was burning again.<\/p>\n

I didn’t really need to heat the house but I did need to keep the cats out of the snow bowl on top of the stove.<\/p>\n

Making coffee, right now, that gives me time to write now as I wait for the hot water to pour through.<\/p>\n

My solar batteries are extremly low, the solar panels are just making 5 amps. If I had a summer 17 hour day. I might get them charged.<\/p>\n

I played with the idea of draining the fuel from my van. The same fuel that killed the engine. I aslo thought about the two liters in one of the old gens. Then I thought about how much a new gen cost. I have been looking a a dual fuel model.<\/p>\n

I can’t even get to town for groceries or mail, what chance did I have to get into pick up a gen.<\/p>\n
