Morning Sounds after a night of rains while living offgrid in the New Mexico desert.
We’ve had a few cloudy and windy days, but yesterday, we finally got a break, and it cleared up long enough to burn the tumbleweeds that were caught on the dog fence. We’re hoping that today brings some sunshine to charge the solar panels. Have a great day!

Wind and sand storm
Sand, wind storm while living offgrid in the New Mexico desert.
Spring is the season for wind and sandstorms. This year is no different.

Took night off to see Amigo The devil concert
Last night we took a break and went watched one of our favorite bands Amigo The Devil ! We would love to have Amigo come play here at Ka-Hoon Plateau Hame De Colquhoun ! Wouldn’t it be cool to see him play under the New Mexico skies, with mountains in background and the openness of the desert?! I think it would be..
I wasn’t able to get a recording of Flogging Molly as we ended up moving towards the back, we ran to the bathroom due to the crowd. (I don’thandle being crowded), and sadly I couldn’t see anything

Crochet projects
A while back, @Advocatus Diaboli & The GLƁ asked me to make some items for his merch table. I had never crocheted anything other than blankets before, but Brent and AD (Advocatus) encouraged me to try. I succeeded and made the items AD asked for, as well as some for the Dusty Nail General Store. What do you think?

8k Solar system
We have built two solar systems thus far. The first one consists of six 200-watt panels, a 24-watt 3k inverter, and two 100-Ah batteries. This 3k system powers Anne’s Lazy Daze Class C RV and a charging station inside the Grey trailer.
The second system is an 8k system with 12 200-watt panels, a 48-watt 8k inverter, and 12 250-Ah batteries. It is supposed to run the Stage, Music Studio, and Greenroom, but currently, our Class A Southwind RV is using it. The plan is to build the next system that’s six 500-watt panels, a 48-watt 5k inverter, and six 250-Ah batteries, which will run the RV and Grey trailer. At that point, the 3k system will solely power Anne’s RV.

Solar Frames finished!
Frames for the solar are finished! Got the trailer moved to it’s permanent home and set up the small solar in it’s temporary location.
Location for the new solar frames is empty, next step is to move frames in position, anchor them, then start mounting the panels! Once this is finished we have one more solar setup to build. Luckily next one is only 6 panels and not 16..

Almost finished!
Ground based solar frames are almost finished, only need couple more support boards, (again, that we need to pick up)but its better to over build with the winds in mind. The frame is adjustable, we can move the panels to adjust for angle of the sun…Each frame will hold 4 solar panels.
Next phase is to move the frames in place, then anchor down, and assemble the mountable panels!

Echo-Worthy Solar
This is what happens when a controller on your solar setup fails and over charges the batteries.. This setup us less than a year old. Still under manufacture warranty.. We have another 3 yr extended warranty in top of that.
Yet the company #echoworthy ignores all attempts We’ve made to contact them. They keep telling us tech support will call or ema us back.. that they’ll mark it urgent.. 3 weeks still nothing, we have filed a complaint with BBB but idk if that’ll help as there’s already many complaints filed.
Editing Video
This week has been so busy that we didn’t take time to edit this weeks video.. Fighting with Eco-Worthy in hopes to get the old solar system up and going before we head out.(Don’t think we should purchase replacements when it’s all under warranty). But that’s not going to happen , we are still being ignored, no calls or emails back.. Plus side the new solar (Not from ECO-WORTHY!) has all been delivered, we will begin setting it up once back from our trip!
We will have the video up this week!
