This is our first year after upgrading solar and moving to Mini splits for AC and Heat. So I am excited.
They might pay us this year at Zero out wholesale rate but that would be better than just zeroing us out.
We have chickens for eggs and this coming year a want to grow more food that we can maybe preserve for the winter.
I little more independent each year is the goal.

That's how we did it, a little every year. Hopefully this summer I'll get the wind and microhydro in. Maybe a new greenhouse too, I'd like to get something I can grow all year in. There's a guy in Maine that does it with hoop houses.
We're seeing sun now but the other night it was 14 below. Stopped the tower clock I'm working on in the village square. During WWII all the German machinery froze up in the Russian winter. I think that's what happened, I machined the tolerances of new bearings too tight and every time the temp drops below zero the clock stops!
