    Our big Jackery (affectionately called “big boi”) is doin’ light work this week. Keeping our devices charged for the next 3 evenings until we plug in at a campground. It’s rough right now because we don’t really get a chance to use the solar one these “drive, dinner, bed” boondocking days. Luckily the truck will do most of the charging while we’re on the road.

    (2/2) But this is NOTHING compared to what thing thing had to do for us while in Taos. It was mostly responsible for keeping our refrigerator running basically the entire summer. That setup was so ridiculous in hindsight lol

    Who needs a space heater when you’re running a laptop with a video card in it?

    Off the grid today, wow we have to be conservative with our battery usage a bit, but I think I’ll have enough to squeeze in a little bit of work on a plugin I’m building before the family rises from their collective beds.

    CW: alcohol

    Made it to our first stop in the trip to Texas. We’re parked at a brewery in Indianapolis. This bourbon barrel stout comes in a regrettably small 8oz glass, but I’ll be damned if it isn’t tasty all the same.

    I love Harvest Hosts! CW: alcohol

    The best stout in the US, perhaps the world, is in the Midwest. You can’t convince me otherwise

    Parked near Columbus for a quick break. Taking it nice and easy this time. The truck is hauling the camper really well. Super pleased with our adjustments.

    Holy shit that was close. Look at this photo. What $600 mistake did I almost just now make?

  • Alex Standiford

    The adjustments to the hitch height made a big difference. We’re all hitched up, and heading to our next destination, Indianapolis!

    Welp, today marks the last day before we hit the road to Texas, essentially starting year 3 of our . I’m tired from all of the travel this year, and am so ready to go back.

    I think the thing I’m most excited about in the short-term is I can FINALLY add my micro content to my personal site, which currently is built 100% by collecting information about me from various sources (GitHub, blogs, and soon Mastodon).
