Got my @todoist inbox all organized for the day. Feels so good to be back on a GTD system. like a fog has been lifted.

After 4 months of working with an off-grid solar setup, my biggest takeaway is that it is WAY simpler to set up than you probably think. If you’ve ever installed a car stereo, you’re overqualified to set up a simple 12v solar system.

I have a checklist called “pack for a trip” which is a checklist of things to remember to pack when I go to conferences. Can’t help but LOL at the thought of what that would look like now:

“Pack for a trip”

1.) Camper

Sourdough pancakes this fine morning

Okay. Time for bed. These upgrades are going to make this RV so much better.

We couldn’t do this before because of the furnace we had, but that thing died in central California, and we ditched it for a different type of heater. That opened up a lot of options for us.

Looking like a cafe ☕️

The new and improved setup. So much cleaner than before.

Project “build a damn desk over the weekend” has escalated to “project build a desk, ottoman, and cabinet doors”

GD scope creep.

List of things I didn’t expect to say to my kids:

“STOP BREATHING ON PEOPLE”

So this hack job is a work in progress, but we were able to re-use materials throughout our camper to build a storage area, countertop, and a vented place to put our solar equipment. I’ll be finishing this, and installing a cabinet door to make it look nice soon.
