My attempt to make it to my 10 acres in Terlingua Ranch and make a go of living on it. From the start it hasn't gone good at all, but I'm hopeful things will turn around!

Solar installed and non stop AC.
The new system is installed and now I have full time AC.
Blogger Ara of Oasis of my Soul also had his solar system stolen. Thieves certainly leave behind some bad vibes. My last visitor/thief convinced me to post a warning sign - Bang!

Guess I'll see you Mom or The. As for the stolen panels go know I hear they weren't stolen at all! Supposedly they were taken down by him and stored in his container. Go .figure???
Hi you all... Storing them was last year. This year because of my spine surgery I left them up. All gone. I guess my Social Security now took a nose dive. And yes, I am pissed off to say the least.

ReplyDeletePablo, you sir are an idiot!
ReplyDeleteAra you know how Terlingua rumors are.
ReplyDeleteGreat Progress!
ReplyDeleteWhat size panels and where did you get them?
Did you get a good deal on the batteries?
Makes me feel lazy but proud for you.
It's the middle of August, how did the AC go?
ReplyDeleteOK. It's been a really long time since you posted. Are you OK?
