4-5 amp solar collector for recharging batteries

Posted on December 15, 2013 by | 4 comments

Hi readers:

Eddie’s made me another generous offer of a solar collector he had lying around, complete with controller.

I have a smaller one back at Gale’s, but I think I’ll be able to just add the wires to those going into the controller.

Missing a couple of days now. Hopefully she's just on an extended adventure, but she's got Hydrox and me missing her a lot. Last time I saw her, night-before-last I was noticing she was losing a lot of weight, skin and bones under all that fur. But she rested on my chest purring and demanding affection an hour-or-so during the night, ate heartily, drank a lot of water. Not a bad final approach to the active runway out of here. Jack

The Cat in the Wood – Archibald MacLeish

The cat in the wood cried farewell cried farewell
Farther and farther away and the leaves
Covered her over with the sound of the leaves
And the sound of the wood O my love O my love
Farther and farther away and the sound
Of leaves overhead when I call to you
Leaves on the ground.
