      Sky reflections always make it more challenging!

      Made it into 391 pieces, took nearly 3 hours to complete. Sue will probably remake it to 900 pieces, she has much better eyesight than I do. Thanks!

    I’ve been following Adventure Van mans videos, he did one on the sugar beet harvest where he worked last fall.

    Informative read, good breakdown! Just one question on the propane, what was your average cost to fill a 30 lb tank? $350 isn’t bad for 5-6 months heat, hot water and cooking.

    Spray 9 is available from Amazon.com

    It’s a very potent cleaner, I used to use it to clean diesel soot from combustion chambers.  Extremely effective on any kind of oil based stains, contains no petroleum. It will damage paint if left on to long.

    If they are from tree resins, I’ve had some good results using Spray 9. You have to let it sit for a few minutes and then scrub gently, I use an old nail brush. It does leave a slight residue that you remove easily with Windex. Haven’t found anything else that works.

    With the cooler temperatures coming on, and the high cost of propane here, ($34 for 30 lb), electric heat looked like it may be the cheaper route to go. Bought a couple of heaters, and immediately ran into the problem of temperature control, seems it’s either to hot or cold, and if you change the wattage setting, you lose control again.

      Looks like we might be just far enough south here in Victoria to miss most of the heavy stuff, but it’s been rainy already.

        Yeah we had some bad weather, but has warmed up to 75 or so, hope it stays a little nice for a bit longer, not quite ready to boondock yet. Need to head out but another month of purging more junk. birthday party went good for Laura at church Eddie worked on camper stuff and purging like I said a little bit ago. Aileen and gang

    I’ve been having some connectivity issues using the MiFi 2. My unit is less than 2 years old, and since Bell introduced HSPA+ there have been many days it was just about useless. There was a software upgrade that came out this spring I installed, it helped somewhat, but there were still days that it was as bad as the old dial-up.

    I installed one of these 2 years ago, greatly reduces the pump noise and cycling rate, very compact unit, would easily fit in your new pump enclosure.
