finally I am back on my feet again after a few weeks of being disabled due to a knee injury.


It really feels good to be back to work again. My knee is still a little bit loose so I have to be careful but I can get around now.

I cleaned up the garden to get it ready for winter. I removed all the stakes and plastic sheets we were using to protect our plants from the freezing nights all summer.

I am getting the entire off grid homestead prepared for the long cold winter ahead.

I also harvested two pumpkin like things that grew on their own. And I harvested the sunflowers which had grown on their own.

Melanie has been harvesting potatoes and onions which she planted herself earlier in the year.

I got a load of free lumber which I can use to build a proper and strong roof on the greenhouse.

These were rafters and even have a birds mouth in them. I am going to remove the nails and cut the rafters to fit the greenhouse.

It was raining a lot so I did not get to finish that project yet.

I am working in the off grid electronics shop more as the weather gets colder and while my knee is getting better.

I had the Quanta Q3 Charge Accelerator running all summer and connected to a pair of my old golf cart batteries. I found the voltage at 12.89 volts to my surprise.

So I put the Q3 output on another pair of batteries and let this set rest. After an hour they were at 12.84 volts.

But sadly after 24 hours they dropped down a lot. They are certainly much higher than the sorry 10.5 volts from earlier.

I connected my Bednini motor permanently to the solar powered battery bank so I can let it run non stop and restore some sulfated batteries.

Little Michelle is looking bright and happy today.
