Great Off Grid Info Web Site

I know there are a ton of web sites with off grid info and products. I found one that has a ton of useful information and would like to pass it on anyone interested. See http://www.off-grid.net/
From their site “Off-Grid reports on the people, technologies, events and influences throughout the global off-grid community.”
They have an Off-Grid 101 section, a forum, along with other helpful links.

SOLD 99 Jeep Cherokee XJ

I got a good cash offer on the Jeep and took it. Not what I was asking for it but enough for me to get what I had into it back. Actually have enough profit to take Sandy out to eat, Nice! But not enough for drinks, : (

Sorry to see it go but how many vehicle does one guy need? HAPPY but SAD it is gone.

Now to sell the Caddy then I can get back to Davis Mountains property search and reviewing studying off grid living.

Rethinkin

In talking with Jon Blackmon he suggested checkin out the Davis Mountains area for tolerable weather while researching retirement. Hottest month is June with an average high of 91. The hottest low month is July at 61. Well compared to Terlingua / Big Bend and most of the rest of Texas it is like bein up in Colorado or somewhere.
With my old azz not able to stand the heat more and more every year it is something to really thing about. Of course you got restrictions, government, higher taxes and other things that go with more populated areas but you can go outside and do something most all year not having to huddle out of the intense sun. Oh yeah, did I mention there are trees which produce shade for those that have forgotten.

Property is not cheap. I am finding asking price is about twice or more the appraised tax value but isn’t it like that in most places?
Terlingua / Big Bend definitely has its beauty, magic, and character especially with its Characters and places.
Just thinkin out loud here, Although I wanna do a lot of layin around relaxing when I retire I do not want to be forced to stay inside out of the death rays of the sun prayin for rain so I can run my swamp cooler and take an occasional shower.

I am sure the hard core off griders will disapprove of me callin me a quitter for givin up the total off grid life but I am just researching. Go ahead let me have it!
