I think about the refrigerators and freezer. I have 3 battery power stations that will run the big fridge in the main house, the small fridge in my shed/cabin and the deep freezer in the storage shed. It's hot here in the summer, so there's enough power for my swamp cooler in the cabin and a...

Here in Arizona there is no Daylight Stupid Time;)

The pursuit of money is the ultimate goal and anything can be justified or deemed secondary:(

I've finally had enough, no more physical shopping at Walmart for me. All that data collection and tracking has gone way too far. I'm surprised at myself for tolerating it this long. I can shop at the local Fry's Food which is more pleasant enviroment. Groceries will cost about 10% more, but...
