"LED lighting" , i've seen it on here in the light section.
"wood stoves" , yep , under heat section..
"wind-up alarm clocks" ..  acceptable in diarys

"I don't think I'll ever build my own wind turbine."  say it aint so.
but, but, you have the perfect spot for one....
what state is your new place in anyway?

"DIY with junk" , i'm still laughing at that.

this forum is great ! ive been coming here 2.5 years now and have learned so much . one thing ive noticed in that time is when someone who was totaly green(like myself)  gets some understanding and then passes it on to the next set of new guys.

the atmosphere of "the old board " must have been wonderful but with 6ooo members, how could it remain the same.

i love the international/global aspect. i check the sight twice a day. in the morning i can see what the aussies ,asians and  europeans have been up to and at night what the people in this hemisphere  are doing .

v. farmer i may never get much p.v.stuff going but i think the tracking device you made is unique.

my old school moto was, "wisely improve the present".  that's what i see when i come here , a lot of people takeing steps to make things better. and a whole bunch of people trying to give others a leg up.

Oh I have a wind turbine, I just cajoled DanB into building it for me :-) The tower will be my responsibility, that's why it ain't done yet. I'm in Southwest CO.
