Not that I worked really hard before. Some projects that I have been working on is a Smart House conversion. It’s been a fun project and I may or may not share some of my conclusions.<br />
<br />
Another project has been converting a house from a central 40,000 btu AC unit changing them to high SEER mini splits, I’m still collecting data but have been able to reduce energy usage by a good 50%. I was also able to snag a $34 a month for 1000 kw ELECTRIC program that is good for 10 more months. I can report that for a almost 2,000 sq ft house with 100F high 95%+ daily humidity weather dropping to 85F at night I’m only paying $35.08 cents per month.<br />
<br />
Things are changing very fast in the solar world, you can now basically start small with a 250 watt panel, a 120 volt ac micro inverter & plug that puppy right into you wall outlet at home enjoying your own home solar harvest for around $250.....You no longer need to drop $30,000 to get into the game, with $250 YOUR A PLAYER !! Throw in 3 solar panels and a cheap $500 DIY mini split install and you got FREE SOLAR AC for a 400 sq ft room during day light hours at under $1250 investment. Believe it or not , there are some fools out there paying a real licensed ac guy $6,000 and $4,000 for the solar = $10,000 for what you can DIY in 1-2 days for $1,250 or an 87% DISCOUNT.<br />
<br />
Another project I’m thinking about is a electric car & a special (( top top secrete )) brand new revolutionary mini trailer project. This might finally bring RV to the masses who don’t enjoy dropping $50 a night @ a trailer park and who don’t wanna buy a big gas guzzling truck.<br />

Keep checking back as it’s been so long I have forgotten how to post pictures & use blogger after all this time.

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;">I just gotta add this, when I was a teen this honda 50 was my first bike, cost around $285 if I recall in early 1970's . If I would have had this I would be dead for sure and I crashed my 50 on just about every street corner, it did run about 50 mph top speed laying down, what a great first bike it was.</span><br /><br />

I know these folks like to TALK LOTS OF TRASH about cheaper batteries at $250 per KW or maybe even $125 in 5-10 years ....but they don't tell you where to buy them ?? From what I have seen they are going up even though the value of chinese money is 10% less......OverTheTopCargoTrailerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14389472439348784845noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1565729889547187217.post-14090636553413991412016-02-29T09:08:00.001-08:002016-02-29T09:16:41.084-08:00Off Grid Solar Powered RV Air Conditioning – Is it Possible?<br />

This brings the total installed up to 1,750 AH . I would say that's another world record, but hold your hat another 600 AH in lithium is coming soon. That will top me out at 2,350 AH .....For those of you who are good at math, that's about 1280 watts for every 100 AH so take 23.5 x 1280 and you get the total wattage available is a smidge over 30,000 watts or 30kw. This project has cost me around $1400 but for those of you who are Lithium experts and require a BMS because you are too daft to read $10 elec read out , there are many companies out there who are happy to SOAK YOU , $5000 to $8000 for their almost exact same system.

A 300 watt solar panel and complete solar system with 60 amp charge controller, 300 psw inverter & 100 ah Calb lithium batteries should get me approximately 1,500 to 1,800 watts per day on the best sunny summer day. That would translate into approximately 4 MPD - miles per day. LOL , this puts the total amount of solar for OverTheTopCargoTrailer at around 2,800 watts. I'm a little worried because I hear that Roadtrek 190 Van is trying to catch up with my by using 750+ watts in panels and 700 AH of lithium batteries to run their AC. Psst don't tell them when I'm all done I'll have one 2,000 Ah of Lithium batteries on board.OverTheTopCargoTrailerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14389472439348784845noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1565729889547187217.post-13368543481326936822015-06-28T12:39:00.002-07:002015-06-28T13:07:16.627-07:00Air - In - The - Bag, for anywhere On or Off the road <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;"> My latest idea, is portable air compressor in the bag with a remote switch. Why not since I have lots of battery & solar power. I wanted to give a shout out to Rodger at <a href="http://www.amazon.com/12V-Heavy-Duty-Remote-Switch/dp/B00RPQCJQK/ref=pd_sxp_redirect">Functional Utility</a> for his great service and his great products. He makes 10 amp & 30 amp remote switches, these also come with all the other parts including extra wire & fuses etc. I was joking the only thing missing was a wire crimper. I tried many remote switches and most are complete junk, your lucky if they work at all. Rodgers 10 amp remote switch is also water proof and comes with duel remotes. I found out from Rodger that the 30 amp switch works up to 40 amp if you keep the wires under 2 foot from the battery to the load. Also all remotes are on a different frequency, so </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: red; font-size: large;">I am using 6 of them in my trailer project....more details to come latter.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: red;">no matter how hard I tried. I guess their idea is to sell you the $275 compressor, plus $30 gauge , Plus $30 air hose, plus $300 install service on your vehicle. </span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;"> Here we go today running everything full blast with dirty 1,000 watt panels , I pulled in 5400 watts or 5.4kw as the meter reads. So those of you like Technomadia & Gone with the Wynns, who are telling folks it's impossible to have solar AC - well your flat out 100% WRONG. I kept it at 73 all day long inside the trailer while parked in full sun outside 95F. I was also running a fan, tv, dvr, lights and 63Q arb fridge set at 24F. </span></div>

BERKELEY -- Rafael Ramos and Wenjian Liu, New York City police officers killed in the line of duty in December, were laid to rest before galleries of dignitaries and thousands-strong walls of police officers from across the nation -- including dozens from the Bay Area.</div>

Such displays of unity and respect, on Dec. 27 for Ramos and Jan. 4 for Liu, are testimony to a tight fraternity of police that transcends jurisdictional boundaries. But sending officers to attend out-of-town funerals also is costly in time and money, and in more than half of the Bay Area police agencies queried by this newspaper, the taxpayer picked up all or some of the tab.</div>

"The coldblooded assassination of peace officers is an attack on the foundation and rule of law upon which our country is based," said Berkeley police Chief Michael Meehan, whose department sent an honor guard member and another officer to Liu's funeral at public cost as "a show of support to the NYPD specifically and to demonstrate support for the safety of peace officers, including in Berkeley."</div>

But other local departments limit their officers to in-state funerals unless they pay their own way. And one nationally known expert on law enforcement said it is "never appropriate to use taxpayer dollars to send officers to the out-of-town funerals of police officers," especially out of state, unless the expense has been agreed to under a labor agreement.</div>

"While it's entirely appropriate for police officers to use this time to travel to the funerals of police officers who have been killed in the line of duty, all travel-related expenses should be paid for by the police officers themselves or at the expense of their unions if the unions are willing to cover these costs," said Tom Nolan, an associate professor of criminology at Merrimack College, former Boston police lieutenant and policy analyst in the Office of Civil Rights and Civil Liberties at the Department of Homeland Security.</div>

Several Bay Area police unions paid for food, lodging and airfare in connection with the New York funerals. JetBlue flew some officers free of charge. On the other hand, some Bay Area police officers attended the funerals on their own time and dime; how many is hard to say, if only because the agencies queried do not systematically track what their officers do on their own time.</div>

The two Berkeley officers who attended Liu's funeral between them clocked 40 paid work hours, according to department records; Berkeley also paid $850.60 for lodging and meals, and JetBlue provided free air transport, according to the Berkeley Police Department. The department did not provide an estimated cost for the paid work time.</div>

"Years ago, when OPD experienced the loss of four officers during one tragic incident, the NYPD sent a group of officers to the funeral of our fallen officers," Oakland police Chief Sean Whent said, referring to the March 21, 2009, killing of four Oakland police officers by a wanted felon during a traffic stop and subsequent ambush. "The tragic circumstances of the murders of those two NYPD officers deserved a similar show of respect from our department."</span><br />

"I too factored in the cost of sending staff, and the loss of their services to the residents of our city," Cantando said. "I recognized there would be national attendance, and I felt it was best to keep our officers within the state."<br />

BART typically sends members of its honor guard detail to services held within the state for fallen public safety personnel, said Police Administrative Supervisor Justin Morgan, but there is no formal policy on out-of-state travel.</div>

"CHP policy allows a CHP officer, when practicable, to attend the funeral service of a fallen state police or highway patrol officer, and present a California state flag and letter of condolence from the commissioner," Coffee said. "This policy does not, however, provide for CHP officers to attend funerals for out-of-state local law enforcement."</div>

Ken Hambrick, chairman of the Alliance of Contra Costa Taxpayers and a Walnut Creek resident, said he is compassionate about the death of public servants who put their lives on the line, especially police officers. But, he said, that's not a justification to spend public money on funerals in other jurisdictions.</div>

The cargo trucks criss-crossing India are brash, psychedelic folk art. They’re covered from bumper to bumper in religious iconography, talismans, and all manner of elaborate motifs, prompting the men behind their wheels to affectionately call them their “painted ladies.”</div>

“India is beautiful and colorful and a wonderful place to make photographs, but I think it’s a hard place to make unique photographs—something that’s not an exotic cliché,” said Eckstein.</div>

He explored the region for six weeks accompanied by a driver and translator, spending much of his time in truck stops, mechanic depots, and places you won’t find in the Lonely Planet.</div>

“With a lot of the truck drivers there’s a little bit of machismo,” said Eckstein. “They’re smoking cigarettes, chewing tobacco, and listening to their music. There’s a feeling of adventure and the open road.”</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: 'Exchange SSm 4r', Georgia, serif; font-size: 16px; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 26px; margin: 13px 0px; orphans: auto; padding: 0px; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px;">
The drivers had a bit of swagger and were quite serious when he made their portraits, but that melted away as soon as they saw their photos on the back of his camera. Then they were all smiles.</div>

The trucks are drivers’ homes for weeks at a time while they haul goods all over the country. They work in teams of two or three, driving in shifts, taking turns sleeping in bunks, and having meals at simple truck stops along the way.</div>

Whether Hindu, Muslim, Sikh, or Christian—there’s usually ample evidence by the illustrations on the tailgate, sides, and the shrines installed in the cabs. If a driver is from the north, his good luck garlands may include chiles and limes. If he’s from the south, conch shells replace the chiles. Talismans against the evil eye include devilish faces or the image of a shoe, all carefully hand-painted.</div>

Spend any time on Indian roads and you see why so many drivers seek the protection of good luck symbols.</div>

“It’s a little hectic,” Eckstein said. “There’s every kind of vehicle—ox-drawn carts, shepherds bringing flocks through the highway, and cows wandering around. People don’t stick to one lane or another.”</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: 'Exchange SSm 4r', Georgia, serif; font-size: 16px; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 26px; margin: 13px 0px; orphans: auto; padding: 0px; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px;">
The trucks are bold expressions of individuality and repositories of masculine, laboring pride. Drivers treat their rigs as evolving works of art, periodically commissioning a new illustration from roadside artists like one might collect tattoos.</div>

The many variations of the phrase encourage car drivers to sound their horn in alert when they plan to pass a truck, though Eckstein claims no encouragement is necessary.</div>

“In India, the horn is going constantly to let everyone know where you are and where you’re going,” he says. “It’s an essential tool for navigating the road.”</div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;">MARTINEZ -- The California Highway Patrol officer accused of stealing nude photos from a DUI suspect's phone told investigators that he and his fellow officers have been trading such images for years, in a practice that stretches from its Los Angeles office to his own Dublin station, according to court documents obtained by this newspaper Friday.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;">CHP Officer Sean Harrington, 35, of Martinez, also confessed to stealing explicit photos from the cellphone of a second Contra Costa County DUI suspect in August and forwarding those images to at least two CHP colleagues. The five-year CHP veteran called it a "game" among officers, according to an Oct. 14 search warrant affidavit.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;">The San Ramon woman's DUI case has already been dismissed because of the investigation into Harrington's conduct, and the CHP confirmed that one of its officers, a 5-year veteran, has been placed on "administrative duties" and is not on patrol, although they did not mention Harrington by name. Deputy district attorney Barry Grove said he expects a decision about charges against officers in the CHP probe to be made next week.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;">In the search warrant affidavit, senior Contra Costa district attorney inspector Darryl Holcombe wrote that he found probable cause to show both CHP officers Harrington and Hazelwood and others engaged in a "scheme to unlawfully access the cell phone of female arrestees by intentionally gaining access to their cell phone and without their knowledge, stealing and retaining nude or partially clothed photographs of them."</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333;"> </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: red;"><u><b>That behavior constitutes felony computer theft, the affidavit said.</b></u></span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;">As this newspaper first reported earlier this week, the investigation began with a single incident: Harrington's conduct during the Aug. 29 arrest of the San Ramon woman. The woman discovered that photos had been stolen from her phone five days after her release, when she noticed on her iPad that the photos had been sent to an unknown number. A record of the messages had been deleted from her iPhone, but the phone had been synced to the iPad.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;">In his investigation, Holcombe compared video surveillance and time-stamped text messages from the woman's phone and determined Harrington was in possession of the woman's phone at the moment the photos were forwarded. The woman -- who registered a blood-alcohol level of 0.29 percent, more than three times the legal limit -- was being processed in the Martinez County Jail when the photos were stolen, according to court records.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;">During questioning, Harrington admitted to stealing five photographs from the woman and said he forwarded at least one to Hazelwood, according to court records.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;">Reached by phone by this newspaper on Friday, Hazelwood declined to comment. Messages to the other two officers were not returned.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;">"Harrington said he first learned of this scheme when he was working in the Los Angeles office," Holcombe wrote in the affidavit. "Harrington said when he was assigned to the Dublin office, he learned from other officers that they would access the cell phones of female arrestees and look for nude photographs of them. Harrington said if photographs were located, the officers would then text the photographs to other sworn members of the office, and, to non-CHP individuals. Harrington described this scheme as a game."</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;">The new court documents describe a second incident involving a 19-year-old woman who was in a DUI crash in Livermore on Aug. 7. On Harrington's phone, Holcombe located two photos of that DUI suspect in a bikini accompanied by a text message from the day of the arrest from Harrington to Hazelwood: "Taken from the phone of my 10-15x while she's in X-rays. Enjoy buddy!!!"</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;">A "10-15x" is CHP code for a woman in custody. The woman may have been at a hospital to have X-rays taken after the crash.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;">Hazelwood replies: "No f------ nudes?"</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;">A short time later, the affidavit says, Harrington sent another Dublin CHP officer, Dion Simmons, the bikini photos with the same message indicating they were of a female arrestee. Simmons texted back "Nice" and "Hahahaaaa" and Harrington replies: "Just rerun a favor down the road buddy. :)"</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;">Holcombe also detailed Aug. 29 text messages between Harrington and Hazelwood discussing the photos of the first woman in various states of undress.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;">Hazelwood asked to see her "dl," possibly referring to her driver's license photo, and Harrington texted back: "When we get back to office. And we'll have MDF (county jail) mug shot too."</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;">The pair continued the text back-and-forth, commenting on her "rocking" body and breasts.</span></div>
