Yes, ran across that version of Cortez the Killer 8 years ago and that's when I discovered The Nocturnals. Grace Potter is the singer you're showing in the pic. Incredible band but then Grace went "Big Label" and the band "dis-banded" little by little starting about 5 years ago. Saw them live about 4 times....never played a song the same way at any of their shows and man, could they jam.... Most folks thought Grace was the "it" of the band....not that she wasn't talented in all aspects, but the Nocturnals were the most incredible thing to see/hear. Was a big fan of Grace (and the Nocturnals) but not so much anymore. Her uphill climb has turned slippery. Now back to the Rpod channel....

I have to disagree with Cortez the Killer link since I'm a purist and think Neil Young does it better:

His Harvest album has to be in my top five all time favorites.

Only two on the garage. Had 4 cheap 100's on the barn.

Yours to enjoy (or not)..

Second Item of the day was to get the solar up and running.

Pulled one of my 130w's off the roof and set it up. Thank you to all on the previous post of saving me so much time of working through this (you folks are great).

Went very well!

Mounted my controller on the back of it. Do need to build a stand I'll be happy with. Thinking of plywood and piano hinges.. Another work-in-progress..

Also looking at adding a current meter like on my batteries so I can read input. Since none of these are 'weather-proof' I'll have to do something like I did on my Soaker Tub pump.
