Yes, if power yoga is like pilates it can be very strenuous, As a matter of fact, pilates was developed by an army ranger to help soldiers increase their core strength. So not for sissies!Swamp Doghttp://doublebhomestead.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2005496010717405733.post-53238318008862502322012-03-04T16:54:30.782-08:002012-03-04T16:54:30.782-08:00Anon, Feb. 6,

I really enjoy your blog too.<br /><br />China,<br />It's sad that this no longer resembles what our grandparents fought for and worked so hard to build. I'm like you, i'd smoke during yoga if I could, but it's in the local school. Can't smoke in schools anymore.Muddomehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06990407933386531199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2005496010717405733.post-31180025840656089852012-02-10T05:12:08.934-08:002012-02-10T05:12:08.934-08:00Dome,yep America is screwed!Along with the rest of...Dome,yep America is screwed!Along with the rest of the world. I think Ron Paul is our only chance but looks like the big money are gonna put their boy Mitt in there. Bro you are light years ahead of most of us just keep at it like you're doing and you will be fine! Yoga? I tried it but smoke from my cigs keeps getting in my eyes.<br /><br />China<br />IIIchinasyndromehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04085960000175006256noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2005496010717405733.post-31775420897152352792012-02-06T12:59:15.809-08:002012-02-06T12:59:15.809-08:00Thanks for the post!

I just designed and installed a 1kw system for the motorhome and it was a lot of fun. I don't have to rely upon mine in the same sense as you, but I know you'll do fine. You two have done a great job so far!! <br />My Mrs. has been my inspiration and best bud through the whole process....sure helps!!

We will have two storage tanks for water inside the house totaling 2000 gallons. That should give us a buffer. What if the entire electrical system fails? The wood stove and rocket mass heater will at least keep us from freezing to death and provide hot meals. What if the garden fails completely? Well, that's why we have food storage. What if the entire economy collapses and there is no more consumer marketplace? I believe that is when not if and that's why I'm on this path in the first place.<br />You're right, it is quite an adventure. And certainly not one I would trade for anything.<br />Glad to see you are getting lots of sailing in...!!Muddomehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06990407933386531199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2005496010717405733.post-47066629382463769362012-02-01T04:28:38.989-08:002012-02-01T04:28:38.989-08:00If I was closer, I'd stop in and play a while....If I was closer, I'd stop in and play a while. Off grid systems are fun. <br /><br />Do your best estimates, but the final test will be living with it. That's when the final tweaks will take place. <br /><br />If you can take care your basic functions off grid, then you are on the right track. Picture your generator not being able to start. Will the solar provide enough power for water, lights, and work? Just a little thought experiment.<br /><br />Have fun and enjoy the adventure.Sixbearshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15572224383041421400noreply@blogger.com
