I cleaned half of the garage, the side where my tool box is, organized all my jacks, yadday yadda, gotta get my dad and sister to get their stuff straightened out and one side of the garage will be looking good again!

Unfortunately my ridge line is north-south so its a no-go for solar.
I'm down in a bowl so I don't have wind exposure.
At best I can tap the ground water table (pond across the street) and go geothermal with a heat pump and cut my air conditioning bills.
But all is wishful thinking if I loose the house due to the job market.

Today's job fishing expeditions produced two nibbles.
One is offering $16.12 minus union dues out in Portland, Oregon and Seattle, Washington; by the time I pay rent and food in those cities there won't be any money left to send back home to keep the mortgage going.
The other is a returning prospect, working DEA aircraft over in Afghanistan as a crew member. Good money to line the pockets of my body armor and its the job I'd rather have too.

We got a ton of chipmunks in the yard now ever since the outdoor cat died. Used to be nothing around in our yard, or the neighbors!

I wish if it would save me money, I even have the vernal stream.
I knew a guy who had a retreat up in Vermont. He ran well pipe way up the side of the hill and tapped into a stream. The alternator was down at his building.

Rich you take a 5 gal pal and fill it 1/2 with water. then you cover the top of the water with sunflower seed.
You put it next to a rock, stump, or make a ramp.
They climb in thinking they have hit mother load of seed and never come out.
I don't like doing it but they are getting VERY destructive.
They are digging under my driveway and making pot holes, I don't have the $ to pave it again.
