#homestead — Public Fediverse posts

Service time.

The little generator that helped us a lot during our week-long power outage got an oil change and general check-up.

Even though we bought it before and occasionally used it for farm work, we did buy it mainly in case of just such an outage, which proved a good idea as everyone else was driving far across the country to empty store shelves after the storm hit.

We put about 30 hours on it during that week, most of it in "Eco mode" (low on-demand governed rpm) and the spark plug looked clean, oil barely dirty, so that's good.

Also it is really a lot quieter than the really cheap open frame contraptions.

EDIT: car insurance is now only 1 month behind instead of 3! Let's see what else we can do to improve this situation, fedi!

Atha is bureaucratically and politically disabled from getting a job for a while.
Inamruzui is partly disabled by POTS and sleep issues. Employment is not a simple matter for them to arrange.

Atha was at the food bank yesterday and was given two small shopping bags of canned and dried food for hir and Inamruzui to last a month. Let's raise some funds for the rest of their grocery needs! $300 might be a good start for that.

Let's take another chunk out of Atha's debts! The IRS is being ass, cranking up its non-payment fees. They alone want $860ish. The rest of this part of the request goes to credit cards and car loan and car insurance, with any small change for food.
#MUTUALAID #URGENTMUTUALAID
$373.98/$2500 for debts and bills this week!

Then there's the matter of solar batteries: the #Vulpibus systems struggle to store enough energy to keep running overnight in winter.
We need to get them AT LEAST 2 more (ideally 10 more) batteries at around $250 a pop. So $500 (ideally $2500)
Any small change from that goes to cable crimps and mounting hardware.
They also need battery insulation and heaters!

Then there's the matter of insulating more of the bus itself. Not only is the insulation itself needed, so is something to hold it all in place. A layer of thin plywood would be good. Also not a cheap matter.

The bus grows heavier as more is added to it, so care needs to be taken to choose lightweight but sturdy things to fit.

If you are looking for someone interesting to host in their vehicles on your homestead a while in Colorado, give us a DM.
