Thanks, yes 2 100w solar panels. My wife ordered solar panels, batteries, and an inverter/charger back in 18. They showed up while she was in ICU recovering from stroke. Not sure what she was planning for them, but getting repurposed to the van now.
Enjoying the nice days here. Had my sons and a friend help me mount roof rack on van. Put it up without the wood and it still took a bit. This was made strictly from measuring everything several times. There was no chance to check fit before hoisting it up. I let out a whoop when it sat into the...
Happy Birthday a day late. Looks and sounds like a great way to celebrate another year. The photo of the pig nose with mountains in back is a calendar shot!
This is kind of like putting the horse before the cart, more like putting the winch before the pig. A couple years ago I picked up an 8274 for the rig. Fellow mudder expressed interest in the winch too, to I found a second to rebuild for him. He’s been patiently waiting for it so we finally...
We are back home as of yesterday afternoon. Did end up with 6 months of anti seizure meds, but better safe than sorry. Already seeing big changes in the positive dierction. Thanks for all of the support and kid words. They really help a lot.
Things are turning around. No more seizures or anti seizure meds since ambulance ride in. Shunt resistance turned up as it was draining too much CSF too fast. Caused a small subdural hematoma, but improving. EEG to measure brain waves still on until 4 am. Looking like step down unit tomorrow and...
Thanks for the kind words guys. Surgery went great and we came home today. Unfortunately the euphoria we were feeling changed in a heartbeat. Back in the ICU with seizures less than 6 hours after leaving. Couldn’t try sleeping in with her again tonight. Rest in a hospital is an unknown. Home to...
Local guy cut them for me. All are from same log. Sealed in 2 coats of marine spar varnish. Seems a shame it’s going to be 10’ up in the air. Won’t be seen except from the bottom.
Wife having revision surgery on her brain shunt this Friday. Hoping she’s recovered enough to see the eclipse on...
Still working on finishing the Sprinter van so we can get some trips in. Had an old 4’x 5’ ConFer roof rack basket. Decided to use it to build a roof rack for the solar panels. Stretched the old rack into a 5’ x 10’ rack that attaches to the gutter rails. Used locally sourced red cedar for the...
