Met up this morning with my friend Kristinna to give her the full tour. She is a school teacher in Albany,NY...just 45 minutes from my old upstate hood. We met out here last year - she comes to the Big Bend every chance she gets. Had a good time showing her the compound. Lunch back at the GrubShack and a chance to introduce her to some of the locals north of the Ghost Town. (photo by Kristinna Blanchard)
OGT (budding Texas folk artist) and Rachel (his mentor) came out next for a drop in. Rachel brought me an old bicycle to start rigging for a bike powered washing machine. In exchange, I am building an adjustable camera stand for her still and video cameras. We all hung out and chewed the fat in the shade for a couple of hours.
Got two circuits I ordered in the mail today. One is a backup timer for my swamp cooler and the other is a DC motor speed controller for my new panning camera system. I have ordered a lot of stuff over the years from this website http://www.electronickits.com/ They have a great selection of electronic stuff and super fast service when ordering.
Topped off the day by grinding up a 3 gallon bucket of prickly pear fruit to make one more gallon of juice. 93,100,75,0,C
