Mr. Solar Comes to the Rescue!

Logocircle_4In a tiny moment of sheer genius and all-encompassing understanding, I grapsed my solar needs, took the plunge and ordered my solar panel kit from Mr. Solar. After much tedious research these past few days, I think I'm finally understanding the whole amp/watt/solar debacle (I'm certain it will all be forgotten manana).  The kit I ordered for Yatz (should have known her name would be shortened pronto) includes a 64w solar panel, a tilt mount, mounting hardware and a controller.  I have the Group 27 batteries from my boat so I'm all good there, and also my little flex solar panel (from the boat as well) to add to the amp kitty.  I should be in really good shape once I figure out how to set the dang thing up.  In other breaking MST news, today my mom made the best pot of pinto beans and southern style cornbread I have ever had and I helped myself to three servings in about ten minutes flat.  I love being home!  Oh, and me and my dad did a little paint job inside Yatz--no biggie, just matching up some color scheme that was already in place (once it's all said and done, I will post before and afters).  Also managed to snatch up a legal registration/title for her at the courthouse today---had the whole dang place in a frenzy trying to figure out how to email a document.  The courthouse practically had to shut down for that one!
