My new homestead transport runs on solar and pedal power. So far my longest ride on a single charge has been 41 miles. It has full suspension, dual motors AWD, hydraulic disk brakes, headlight, turn, tail, brake lights and a horn. I’ve had it just over a week and already has 168 miles…

Easy two ingredient biscuits 2 cups self rising flower 1 cup whipping cream 15ish minutes at 400f. I like to add a little salt but you don’t have to.

6/28/23 Still planting very late garden this year.
I finally made it out a little after 7am It’s almost 11:30am now so a tad over 4 hours was all I could take. When I uncovered the chicken litter a timber rattler greeted me. Rattle Rat tat rat tat rattle rattle and so on. The 1911 appeared in my hand somehow BUT I didn’t shoot on account of the cinderblocks behind it. I didn’t want to eat any lead or cinderblock! So I hollered for Anna to get me the shovels and she spent the next ten minutes screaming then finally got the shovels and I managed to take it’s head off without firing a shot. But I knew if I moved and lost sight of it a highly pissed off rattler was going on the prowl! It now has parts in the bottoms of a few planting holes. Waste not want not!!!!!!!!!!
It’s warm out there and bright & sunny… Think I’ll soak up AC for awhile!

So I finally put the old hard used 90’s era Honda GC160 engine in place of the 13hp honda clone. It does pull the pump amazingly enough and there doesn’t seem to be any reduction in flow. Now it’s burning about 1 – 1.5 quarts an hour best I can tell so far. Better than 1.25-1.50 gallons every two hours.

To the OP if this is a pan you want to keep you can have it repaired. I’ve welded several myself using nickel wire. The worst I did was a century old bell with a thousand cracks, well maybe not a thousand but more than I wanted to count. It was someone’s family heirloom from the 1870’s. I did get it to ring again which was what they wanted. It took a LOT of work! By the time I got it done before grinding it looked like a busy city roadmap going most of the way around!

PLEASE STOP POSTING THE SAME THING OVER AND OVER!

A large tire / wheel or even a post for leverage and a chain and most any piece of equipment or small car / truck could pull that tree up roots and all.

1:30 am it’s hooked up and running. I put the steel plate and it on at the same time so as not to thermal shock it. That plate is being SLOW to warm up it was just barely over 100f when I came inside. Both coolers are downright cold to the touch. Had to go back and loosen all the hold down bolts as they were warping the 1/4 inch thick aluminum plate and it wasn’t sitting flat.
I’m starting to wonder if the TEG is removing temperature so fast the steel can’t absorb the heat as fast as the TEG is removing it. The gravel on the top was about 350f when I put it all together and started it running.

Well that wore my tail out but I got 36 modules mounted on the aluminum plate with the coolers and got all the series connections soldered together. I absolutly suck at soldering. I was never any good at it even before MS got me but now I surely qualify as TERRIBLE! It’s done. It’s amazing how such simple lite work can kick my butt! I’d much rather dig a ditch by hand in August than repeat that process…
Still have to sand / grind the steel plate down more and then run the wiring and hook up the charge controller before I can actually try it out. Not sure when that’s going to happen I have some other chores that require my attention ASAP like changing the tractor tire and patching the tube on one of the Deuce tires so I can go buy hay before my cows run out. Also need to cut & split wood first. Ugh it’s always like this ten things before you actually complete what you’re trying to do!

Yeah single steading kinda sucks in that way.

I’ve only played with CB over the years. At one time I had a 1500 watt linear (in my teens) and could talk a good ways. lol I’ve talked all over the world with a hundred watts when the skip is right with a good antenna and worked over equipment.
Not saying people should just that it’s been done.

I would like to point out it’s also a GREAT WAY to save money. I’m still using stuff I’ve bought / gotten over the last thirty five years. I can tell you for a fact it saves me a ton of money. Especially when it’s other option is the landfill when you get it IE: I have three woodstoves I’m not currently using but they were free and cost nothing but a little space to keep. I have all kinds of stuff like that.

You’re most welcome. Everyone who tries them loves them and asks for the recipe.

Yep agree

Yeah I’ve been at it half again as long as you and I get it… Trying to see who else does!
