Arizona
Great to be here in sunny Arizona, the sunshine state. Aside from all the old people and commercialization, it's a beautiful place!

Off-The-Grid living
As I stated, we live on 20 acres and live totally unconnected from the National Grid power lines. We have a 1.6 Kwh system that charges a bank of 24 volt batteries.
We upgraded our solar panels from 690 watts to 1600 watts in October, and do we have power like we never had before!
We do not wear earth shoes, eat granola or chant "Give peace a chance". It all just made sense financially, and ecologically to boot. The second benefit was just an added bonus.
Neighbors thought that there was not enough sun in the Adirondacks. Guess they were wrong, after living off the grid for the past 1-1/2 years.

Monday Morning Blues
Currently, my wife and I are living in Lake Pleasant, on 20 acres of pristine forest land, surrounded by thousand of acres of NYS public
Great Day in the Adirondacks
It's a great day in the Adirondack Mountains of upstate New York.
Although winter is still with us, as is evident by the large amounts of white snow, the beech tree leaves have just started letting loose, signifying Spring will be here soon!
