Agreed. You guys have some of the best taste in music. It's always a joy to see what everyone is going to share in a day.
 
I had smoked pork chops for lunch and now I'm taking a walk enjoying the stunning weather we have today! Nice gentle breeze and mild temps for a change!

@cdemoss01

Camden,

I happened across this video today and I thought he did a very good job talking about cleanup crew. I watched the whole video. Nothing in it that hasn't been discussed here but a nice capsulation of it. If you get a chance, I think it is worth a couple of minutes. Enjoy.

 
anyone know electric? @luis angel , @Nor'easter Reefer ? I want a portable battery generator cable of providing at least 100w for 10-12 hours that could handle up to 1500w for a short duration. I have been looking for so long and so confusing on everything out there. after camping this past weekend, I would like a battery generator that can power a portable fridge, maybe a 1500w coffee maker and at home the fish tank main pump ( think 85w) over night. thinking a benefit would be adding solar panels in the future for camping but at home a UPS on board. I know many can do this but don't want to find out I needed more. any ideas on which Bluetti, EcoFlow, Oupes, etc.. I should be looking at? someone I was with had their car modified with eco flow batteries and an inverter off a hybrid vehicle that powered a small fridge, fans etc...and would recharge off the hybrid battery when vehicle restarted. I think mostly it's battery size I need right? I have a 8000w generator at home but would prefer not to run it over night if I don't have to which is just for the fishtank pump or when on vacation but would like to take it with me for camping but hey, I need a morning coffee and refrigerate eggs etc...suggestions?
 
My really full white worm culture crashed. I went to check to see if it needed food and when I opened it, it looked and smelled awful. I guess I will just keep starting new cultures and throw out each one that crashes. I should be fine when I upgrade and can feed 10 times as much. If anything happens to my single culture could you send me some of yours, they look very healthy.
Of course!

thanks Luis. I'm going to check both these out. eco flow might win because it's 15pounds less and says 2400 output vs 1800 on the buletti. the kids will need to carry this for me.

For a couple hundred more I would also go for the EcoFlow but I sent you the Bluetti option which is a little cheaper but also meets the specifications you need.

I'm pretty sure if I don;t buy it with the solar panels up front, I probably never will. so would include that. But the solar panel really seems like a great thing. especially during a camping trip. but I do feel like I need a battery generator.
