He helped us build up a marvelous "First Aid" kit that would do Bones McCoy proud!<br />My wife and I were just talking today about "what if", and she asked how would I run all my radio gear if we didn't have gas for our generator.<br />I reminded her we have 230 Watts worth of solar panels, and 500 Amp hours worth of deep-cycle AGM batteries.<br />I'd also be listening a whole lot more than transmitting!drjimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05647484115197408897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1592992209402300549.post-8027663927057208182012-06-18T22:05:52.018-04:002012-06-18T22:05:52.018-04:00All sounds like smart things to do by me.

My wife was against taking the money out of the bank at first, but when I showed her what our "earnings" were amounting to, she agreed.<br />We've got stored food, water, medications, and other things for at least three months for the four of us, and the kids are moving back to Colorado very soon to help my stepson's girlfriend rebuild their holding that were destroyed in the recent fires out there.drjimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05647484115197408897noreply@blogger.com
