Cross posted from the main blog: "A million things to worry about"

Update, 2/4/26:

  Here's another cross post about the off-grid project on the main blog.  It was clicked on, so I will respond to that here on this blog, because this blog has the off-grid topics now.

  Enough of the blog-splaining for this post.

  The off-grid project is on hold.  Nothing can be done about it because there's no money.  I won't borrow the money, which I could do.  There needs to be an income in order to fund the project.  Plus I don't have the skill-set to do the things I want to do.  I did spend a lot of time upgrading my skill-sets so that I could, but there's just not enough time for all that.

  The harsh truth here is that I may never get back to that.  My health is not good enough to do much labor anymore.  About all I could do is to supervise the work that others would do.  Or, I could run some mechanical gizmos, like construction equipment.  Stuff like bobcats and such.

  All of that takes lots of $$$$$$$, which I don't have.  No money, no time, no progress.  There's a forlorn hope that the coding efforts could eventually bring in some money.

  There was a saying in the space business---No bucks, no Buck Rogers.  This off-grid project ain't Buck Rogers, but the general idea is similar.

  Anyway, it will have to stay on hold indefinitely.

The original post on the main blog:

But you can't do a damn thing about any of it.

All you can do is just do the best you can.  The rest of it's out of your hands.  That's how I look at this.  I sit here thinking about how many things can go wrong, and there's a guarantee that something will.  Maybe a lot of things because a lot of things have already gone wrong.

Well, I've prepped all that I can.  Unless I want to stay here all month prepping for a trip I never take, I'd better get going.

Until I come back, the blog will be dark.  Perhaps I'll write something out there if things really stink it up.

I will attempt to do some reviews with my Kindle out there, but something tells me I may not have the time.

We'll just have to see how it goes.

Until then, signing off.
