You folks in the states need a health care system like ours in Canada. Then sad stories such as this would not exist. I am so sorry to hear of their trouble.

don't get me started on nationalized/socialized medicine!

its bad enough as it is with dr's having to do with insurance companies, let alone
what state health care we already have.

we got enough problems without that, and i am speaking as one who is facing serious back surgery in the probably not to distant future.

i don't have any answers, but the way our government works, it would be the last thing i would want to see determining who, what, and where i get my health care, let alone what they will pay for.

probaby fair better with a veternarian :)

A bit off of topic, but I have notice that we have a few thousand people get shot here in Chicago each year, a majority are involved in criminal activity for a living and organized crime (street gangs) don't seem to offer health insurance to their membership. A multiple gunshot victim typically requires half a million in care I am told. They all get essentially free health care on the tax payers dime, and as near as I can figure, resources are allocated to cover this by getting part of the money from the government (taxpayers), and charging people who pay, either through insurance, or especially cash, more money for the services that they require. Rob Peter to pay for Paul comes to mind. You can add to that a legal system that awards people more money than they would have ever made had they worked there whole life for alleged malpractice whether legitimate or not, and again, through insurance premiums paid by doctors and hospitals, this gets passed on, and is ultimately paid by paying customers. We have a system where people don't have to share in their own misfortune - and can actually profit by it - and that encourages abuse. So in a sense, we already seem to have partially government health care and it stinks. So if you pay for back surgery, you are likely paying more than the actual costs.

Think how many additional solar panels or wind turbines we could put up if we had the money saved from a more efficient system. As our internal inefficiencies grow, our ability to confront larger problems such as the ongoing changes in the supply and demand of energy become increasingly diminished. Rich

Even with 7% disappearing in fees you guys would do better piecing that system off and selling on eBay, I think the 120w panels are just under the UPS 'bulky items' tariff shipping rate and would sell like hot cakes, in my opinion. No explanation, just straight-forward listings...

oops 4 110 watt astropower 3 120 watt (plus one a tree fell on)

found image option here you go. not in pic air 403 (you can see tower) and battery monitor

as far as socialized medicine they have medicare, it's still not enough, especially with the gas cost to go to all the different specialists they get referred to

ps I wanna go home, I'm packed, I'm ready- so it either sells today or the delivery option is out!

I live up in BC Canada and am completely off the grid. A trek to Oregon for pickup would be a fair amount of effort but could be planned.
I'm looking to expand my setup and would love to give all this stuff a great new home.

How easy is it all to come apart and pack up ?
Do you think it would fit in a Toyota pickup with a trailer ?

Thanks
