Solar Power for My Computer
My Laptops Battery died about a year ago. I never got a replacement for it. So I thought about Solar Power for it.

So I decided to post my notes about this.
The first set of instructions I read are from this web page. This guy includes pictures and his…

Food for thought 2020, what are we eating?
Wow thinking about what we are eating. I looked at this in many ways. If we are poor and needy we might be living on food grown in the vicinity. Backyard garden surviving.
Things are scarce. Meat a rarity beyond the mcdonalds buger every now and then. Some people will be living off McDonalds style food. The food might be getting better for us by then but long term survivablity is still not that healthy they are cheap the ones who can…

Meals of 2020
I would be sitting down to a meal of processed packaged food bought for 2 bucks. The food is like a Meal Ready to Eat designed to give me enought nutrient to get through the day for when food rationing is in need. Various packages and varities are available. We will also be eating on the side homegrown food. Maybe from homegardens. Animals raised at home is a no no in some city's like mine we cant have no farm animals within city limits except for chicken.

Living on 2 dollars a day
About 6 years ago my wife and I lived on 2 dollars a day for about 6 months a year for about 3 years. We was dirt poor, barely eating, barely surviving. I had just left a job with the idea of getting a better job we ended up becomeing the caretakers of our landlords laudromat next door to pay for our rent. At that time the Welfare agencies looked for any reason to deny a person food share benefits. I realized I was spending more money on work search than food in our bellys so I decided it…

The food actually tasted fresher than in the past and was easy to keep fueled.Dad was very proud of the solar hybrid…See More
