Raspberry Rock – Off Grid Cabin – My battery problem

Electricity is a remarkably simple thing, but at the same time can be quite complex. Little things like a loose bolt can cause a world of problems.

The environmental cost of free two-day shipping

I am usually quite happy with buying things on eBay and waiting a week or two for it to arrive. Sometimes it would be nicer to get things with two-day shipping ala Amazon, but the slower progress gives me time to anticipate it's arrival and look forward to it coming to my door. Delaying consumption helps slow it down, and makes you more responsible with your money. I almost never order anything additional, when I'm already waiting for one product or another. Plus it's good for the environment too.
