Working In Off Grid Wood Shop & Office During Rainy Days
It rained for two entire days without letting up so I worked in the off grid wood shop and office.
I cleaned up the off grid wood shop and organized it some more. I picked up a shelf which my neighbor told me about and put it into my wood shop. It fits nicely in there.
I am still unpacking after the move and sorting out my equipment. I am making good progress though.
I also worked quite a bit in the off grid electronics lab and office. This is also off the grid and contains my solar battery banks and control electronics. The office will power my off grid wood shop when I am done.
In the office I have the Quanta Q3 generator slowly charging up a bank of super capacitors. These capacitors need to be brought up to a higher voltage so that my normal charger will be able to recognize them. The Quanta is perfect for this job.
I later got my old Bedini motor running as well in order to restore lead acid batteries. This old machine does a very good job at restoring old badly sulfated lead acid batteries which cannot be charged anymore by conventional chargers.
I am working on an old 12 volt battery that was down to 0.5 volts and bone dry when I got it. I had put distilled water in it and am charging it up on the Bedini motor.
I installed a cut off switch on the solar panel frame outside. This will allow me to disconnect power from the solar panels to the solar charge controller if I need to.
A rabbit was eating our new flowers so I bought some plastic tent stakes to use as electric fence wire holders. The stakes have a hole in the top of each one. This is perfect to hold the electric fence wire.
Hopefully this will stop rabbits from eating our flowers from now on.
I am also going to protect the apple trees from being eaten by rabbits and deer by using some drainage tile cut lengthwise.

Hi Troy. Glade you made it over to steemit. Congrats on the new baby girl. I remember back when you use to make your own solar panels. Wow have you come a long ways. I know money for you is tight and just got a lot tighter with the new baby. So I thought I would share another site with you. It is called topbuzz, It would be a great place to put your articles and youtube videos. They even have it set up so you can import your channel. That makes it really fast to set up. Topbuzz pays decent and also it will get you more views on your youtube video. It would be like getting payed twice with little extra effort. Here is my invite link by using it I will get a little extra for the invite so It can help us both out.

I created an account. Hope you get credit. Can you tell me how long have you been on there? How well does it work? I have seen both good things and bad written about the site. A lot of YouTubers have received invites (myself included) but ignored them in the past.
Do you have any experience with the YT integration? I see that everyone fears trying the idea but all are interested in it.
Thanks.
I'm new to it myself but know others that use it. I already see a lot of new traffic on my youtube page. Also fairly new at. Got 144 views in 24hrs of setting up my account there. Not bad for a brand new Youtube channel. 33 views came out to 4 cents. Which doing the math is better than I was making on my old youtube channel. There app works like the old youtube recommend list. Just on android there is over 1 million users. Fun to watch how fast the watch counter climbs. After $100 you can have it sent to paypal. I imported my youtube channels and It worked seamless. I get credit for the view on both topbuzz and youtube. Also have gotten some new subs out of it.
Also it is a troll free zone. They get banned there.
How to trolls get banned there? There are already crawling all over my stuff so badly I am tempted to shut it down. I am not even done setting up my account and they found me. Sick creatures they are.
Contact support and report them. I also started to report some of them I seen. Support will review what they are posting and if they feel they are just trolls they will band them.
There is nothing I can do. No aspect of my life - that they have not infiltrated and attempted to destroy. Its way beyond the internet.
At least on topbuzz if you report them they will ban them
Do they take control over your YT channel in any way or are they just grabbing the feed?
Only grabbing the feed. They do links like they do here. I've gained 214 views since yesterday. For a channels like yours you should do very good there.
Thanks I will give it a try.
You will love it.
Thank you. Mom and little Michelle are doing well now. Melanie is getting stronger by the day.
Yes things sure have changed a lot through the years, most for the good :)
Thank you. I will check it out and most likely join up. I can use all the help I can get.
