10 years ago I thought it was ridiculous that Solar was not required on every new senior home roof being built in a senior community. If they did that, most people would not quibble about buying one since their choices would be limited anyway.

If I owned a house with a lot of propery, and a small solar farm would definitely be paid back by savings in electrical costs, I'd go for it IF it was in a suitable area where I did not look at if every day and think it's an eyesore.

It sounds interesting.

During my research, I saw an invoice from someone who had a $145 charge for nitrogen in the tires. I laughed out loud at that, and then felt very sorry for the young adult the dealer did that to.

I'd like to do a sort of test with one of my photos. When I reached the bottom of the slope, I looked back up at the berm and took a photo of the berm at the top. When I looked at the photo after uploading it I said to myself "I"m not going to show this one, they won't get it, it just looks like...

No, the deer blind is on the west side. Here is a shot of the northern depression as I approached it.

In 1961 when those letters were flying back and forth, I was living in Hampton Lakes. The house is still there. Yes, I come from humble beginnings.

I'm about a month into doing my research. I know what I want, but the dealer inventory is very scant. I've read all the tricks dealers play to extract all the freaking money they can from you. But I figured I'd ask you all if you have any recent experience in doing this; what worked for you and...

Here, I'm standing at the bottom of the slope, and I noted there was a channel sweeping straight over to the large canal as shown on the lidar. I've outlined it, but so many years have gone by that its almost obliterated due to accumulating detritus.

I also found this yesterday, just 15 feet west of the berm. It's rare to see these now if I think I'm right on what it is; a deer blind partly underground.

We are ALL wrong much of he time Pan. I looked at this more as an interesting exploration. Making you eat crow (or send me a hat) was all in fun.

I was out at that hut spot many years ago. I could find nothing, like it was never there.

Here's where I probed that pseudobridge on the side of the log next to the bank.

They are there, but so overgrown and rusty, you couldn't operate them.

I didn't look before, but in 1930, you can see where they had it cleared, and they still had a small hut or something out in the swamp.

Maybe 10" or a bit less. I did not even go up to my elbow. We'd have to somehow dam a portion of the canal to route the water around it, a cofferdam deal. But we could also try to dig it out while in the water....or see if it goes all the way across

As I said, it was on both sides of the log and it started at the bank. It seems immovable, so maybe it's now wedged in tight. When I felt underwater, this is what it felt like (a cross section of a log with a very flat top). Perhaps they cut it at the old saw mill just a few hundred yards away.

But, I did find something very interesting at the Dash spot. He may have stumbled upon a spot that was used to cross by someone in the distant past. I was probing the canal bed on either side of the log, and I was surprised to have the stick tap on something 12" wide and very flat. At first I...

This is the Dash spot. Note the abscence of the shadow. Here, I stab the shadow to death. But not to worry. The sun is in the south this time of year, and there just happens to be a tree on the other side of the canal, but I was maybe an hour too late to see it cast its Pan-driven spell.

When I returned, I went through these two depressions. They are dry and not at all spungs. I think this was where they got the dirt to make the berm. It makes sense.
