Merry Christmas! (Sorry it's late)
7 years ago
Hey guys i hope you all had a good Christmas! I didn't have much planned but it ended up being good :)
I'm also sorry I didn't say this yesterday, I also had it planned and somehow I just kept getting distracted.
Right now I am fitting a weeks worth of solid fabrication into a few days and it's just not working. I'm taking my Dodge conversion van and putting a sleeper top from a Chevy on it, fitting it with solar panels, a septic tank and toilet (From a Ford conversion van so I have parts from all 3 domestic car companies haha), making a captains chair on a swivel, installing skid plates, and mounting a front receiver hitch and portable winching system for front/rear use so I can get myself into those sweet camping spots far and away from everything :)
Also have a Wilson cell phone amplifier, 32" TV, so hopefully will have the innernets out there. I can "Rough it" but I can find myself bored, so I like netflix, and taking college classes in the wilderness. I am literally never anxious or depressed when I am in the wilderness. I will also get to real world test the solar array, (240W, MPPT charge controller, 1KW pure sine wave inverter, 12V system) and have an inverter generator as a backup. I would have thought Honda or Yamaha would have been the first to incorporate bluetooth fuel level, runtime, and shut off via cellphone app, but it was Ryobi. :) Real time test of fuel consumption will commence as well.
I am super psyched about it but I was hoping to be done by Christmas (hahahaha) but it's looking like I'll still be welding stuff even tomorrow.
I'll reply to the last journal comments *(Thank you guys!) when I am able sorry I haven't yet.
*ALSO*
I DO have more wolf pictures I want to post. The statutes of limitations of doing dumb stuff around wolves has passed, so hopefully now I can post them... Long story short I accidentally let a woman with her young kids in with a pen with wolves in it... Actually it was alright, but there should have been a more experienced handler in there at the time (I was new, then and didn't know the protocols that well at the time. I knew it would be fine and it was). Anyway the reaction to the human kids by the wolves was NOT what ANYONE would have expected. In fact it was beautiful. I may be posting them soon so keep an eye out for it.
Thank you guys for reading, and hang in there, everyone!
