Very good post koxxx, I would add the problem with US debt is that it is mostly foreign held. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Foreign_Holders_of_United_States_Treasury_Securities.svg none of the top 10 holders of US debt would dare dump their Tbills large scale, but it must be happening...

We do spicy salted cod roe on pasta topped with dry seaweed. But you've gotta be a fish lover. Not nearly as bad as it sounds. Maybe soak it in a spicy brine? http://japanesefood.about.com/od/udon/r/tarakospaghetti.htm

Thanks so much for the replies, It is thawing now and will be ready to be de-boned tomorrow at the earliest, thanks for the tips. john

Hi all, I received a good sized leg o'venison frozen. I need to cook this in one shot. It'll just fit in my tiny oven, so there is no way to cover it up, except with foil on a cake sheet. Any ideas on how to cook it and not turn it into a rock o' venison? I can do it outside on an uncovered...

I use wet newspaper on the glass when it's cool, a dab of dish soap if it's really bad.

Thanks again xpc, I can get a 15A mppt for 100$ or a 20A for 150$, the killer is regular controllers are like 20-40$

Dzien dobry rty007, umm, dobranoc!

Hi xpc, Thanks for the reply, some answers and questions: They're 50 watt Chinese, (yeah I know, I know) seem to be of good quality. 2$/watt , but with shipping 4$/watt. I have a Morningstar Tri-star 45Amp controller, not a Mppt but should do the job. Actually I'm thinking of using a smaller...

Ok here goes, Got the 3- 50watt panels installed on the roof. Just waiting on the battery. Then will wire'm up and start making power. I like to think of them as my " solid state generator" , no moving parts. No fuel needed. Firstly they'll be used for outdoor lighting, then will run some...

Hi xpc, It's the Bunker Hill flag, though don't think it was used in the navy. Sorry, my mistake on the calculations. Good job on keeping the bill way down. My home is all electric too, except for heat, which is wood, and am averaging 500KWH/ month (family of 5). I suspect most of it is...

Great info there, I can't believe it's only 6$ for almost 400KWH. My summer low usage is that much and it cost about 80$. And prices aren't going down anytime soon, haha.

I say missle test gone wrong.

That's funny, I grew up in the flight path of BOR. It was great until about the late 70's when corporate jets began to push out the Cessna's. One of the big reasons I left there. We'd have Cessna's coming over the house at 300 feet and about 70knots. Every summer one of the Goodyear blimps...

Glad to see some XCers on here, do hiking and snowshoeing when there's enough. Going telemarking tomorrow on my vintage 1989 leathers. I swear nextyear I will buy new gear! Haha.

Mine is a misspelling (sp?) of my favorite character from the 80's Canadian comedy program , Second City Television. Johnny LaRue aka John Candy.

Good question, I enjoyed reading all of your posts, Here's mine, long winded and sorry story. I was raised in the suburban shadow of NYC and grew up despising my hometown for some reason. Always wanted to live in the mountains or in the snow country. My parents did their best for us of...

Kinda answering my own question, but not quite.. http://www.wind-sun.com/ForumVB/showthread.php?t=4598 seems like doing anything small scale like this brings you into the "guerilla solar" catagory. Liability and code hammers would swing hard and fast I imagine. Now where to find a small...
