I Want to Move From Here

Last night was a good night...plenty of time to chat and no interruptions while doing so. I like those kind of nights and time seems to go fast. I know I have said this many times....COME ON MAY 29th!!!! I don't want to wish my life away but I really want to be out of that place. I gave them 30 plus years....I need a rest before I take the dirt nap.
The wind is blowing here about 15 to 20 and it is raining off and on...mostly off right now...and it is a gloomy day to say the least. I like a sunny day anytime...life seems brighter...DUH!
This is the time of year that is so unstable here in North Texas. This area of the country is located where the ruminates of the cold north meet the oncoming southern warm breezes and bingo bad weather is the results. Tornado's are one of the biggest problems this time of year and we...being in a RV park have a giant bulls eye painted on us. Yes this is why I wish I could vacate this area for a safer location up north where the weather is more stable. It is probably still too cold up there but it would be less likely to spawn a tornado. We have been real fortunate this last three years here in Carrollton and I just want to get past this last two months so we can leave with our RV in one piece. Maybe this year will be more stable and we can dodge the bullet here. Only time will tell and Mother Natures mood..HE HE :)
OK I really don't have a long entry today due to the fact that I have to spend much time on the Internet looking at inverters. Yes I need to get one but I don't want to pay for some giant unit that I will never be able to afford. I have a generator but would like to get a small inverter to run the computer and TV for about 4 hours in the morning or evening. I could charge my batteries back up when I use the generator to run the bigger appliances. I would think that would be an easy thing to do rather inexpensively...don't you.
Sherri and I will be doing some boondocking next year and the addition of an inverter would be nice. We have several places in mind to stay at that have no hook ups but drop dead beautiful scenery and that would be a trade off for power connections. If we could supplement our electrical needs in that manner we would be fine. I don't want to go with the full blown solar deal now....until I meet with those that have it and spend some time with them to see what it is all about. No need sinking $$$ into something we may not need right now.
I want to get out someplace and enjoy nature without depending on an electrical plug. Having a bigger choice of places to stay would be much more desirable than having electric power. Sherri and I want to live off the grid as much as possible and see places that we may otherwise miss being tied down to conventional parks.
Well better close out here and get to reading some more. I have so little time left to explore this avenue of power. Would love to hear from anyone that lives off the grid...give me your journal address and I will join you...
Somewhere in Time

It is easier to be wise for others than for ourselves.

Let us know when you make an inverter decision. We're in much the same boat...ok not really, we're still in the long time til retirement boat... but we've got 2 Honda 2000 gennies and I'm interested in getting an inverter.
