I was really hoping to get up to Adirondacks this weekend … πŸ•

But it just turned out the forecast went to bad to worse. I am not sure how cloudy it will be but the below zero windchill just didn’t make it seem like fun for camping and nor did the clouds. It seems like often in the winter, the weekend forecast is quite nice until it gets cold and snowy.

I sure get tired of all those green energy scams advertised on my social media feeds

I sure get tired of all those green energy scams advertised on my social media feeds … πŸ’‘

It seems they can’t find enough ways to try to push solar panels, electric cars, and ground-source heat pumps on folks. The advertising is non-stop. While I am interested in some of the technology, I am skeptical and I am certainly not in the market to buy solar panels or an electric car today. When I own my own land, I think I would like to have a simple — in other words not complex — solar system for minimal energy uses but none of these massive-grid tied arrays for the energy hungry suburbanite lifestyle.
