# 062 back to basics From: starstuffharvestingstarlight Date: 2010-05-30 07:28:26 Title: back to basics so thanks to a rat (the human kind of rat) the police came over to force us to take down the electricity, so we're back to basics. our solar design is in tests, all that's missing for now is a good battery and a better inverter. we're running on a small inverter plugged into my car that can provide for cell phones, internet modem + laptop and some eco bulbs. as long as it is just for some hours at a time it's fine. it will take a toll on the car but i'm hoping to have most of the solar system sorted out within the next week. the main issue was the conflicts P created with this crazy neighbor. the neighbor (we call him Fiscal because he claims to be the owner or connected to the owner) told me that it was him that called the police on us all those times just to get back at P. it's sad that it ended up being us paying for it. my suspicion is that water will be next. that's why we're pushing forward the renewable design now before we get on to other things. we're also considering the dry toilets, since they would be much nicer than the current system. on a lighter note, we planted our first tree (a pomegranate tree), the first of many i hope. godspeed starstuff ☆★☆☆★★★☆☆☆☆☆ --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
