I hope that doesn't happen for you. You gonna make it to GA on this summer trip??BeemerGirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15239761274177026636noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1512448163402185409.post-88358248191011729092017-02-21T05:14:25.646-09:002017-02-21T05:14:25.646-09:00Nothing like a friend passing to make you reflect ...Nothing like a friend passing to make you reflect on what's important. I'm sorry for your loss.<br /><br />I am interested in your solar journey.

I...Yes, still in Fairbanks but it's warming up. It got all the way up to +6°F today. The trip to Stewart/Hyder is pretty nice. I took 3 days from Whitehorse to Stewart and was taking it pretty easy. I had pretty nice weather except for some rain south of Dease Lake. When I was there I was concerned about the Ural driveline so I didn't venture to the glacier from the campground but my neighbors did. 2 up on their R1200GS and had some great pictures.<br /><br />Many RV solar installers don't ground the solar panel frames to anything and that seems to be a bad idea. And the metal jacks at the front are pretty solidly placed on the ground as there is a couple thousand pounds pushing them into the ground. I was planning on running a large ground wire from the roof to the RV frame to ground the aluminum frames of the solar panels but wasn't sure what gauge wire to use.RichardMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04773834892715980735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1512448163402185409.post-82362889600580363032017-02-19T15:38:53.613-09:002017-02-19T15:38:53.613-09:00This challenge is proving to be a real challenge. ...This challenge is proving to be a real challenge. I've written and deleted pages of text trying to figure out how to address this topic. I'm basically trying to reflect on where I am today. This reflection is prompted by the death of a friend here in Fairbanks. Nothing has changed for you. Your still in Fairbanks and it's cold as hell. As you get get older a lot of your friends will be dropping around you. I'm 73 and relish in that fact, because a lot of folks don't make it that far. And remember none of us get out of here alive. Don't ever quit making plans for your self, I'm going to Stewart/ Hyder this summer with the Raven, I went to Dawson for the first time last summer. But if you have any doubts about see a cardiologist and get a nuclear stress test. I've got A-Fib so I'm on blood thinners 24-7 but all my veins around the heart are clear. <br /><br />On a side note you can buy a 10' electrical ground rod and attach it to the RV via a #6 bare copper wire and just probably lay it on the ground Bob and Sharonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03790409351349716024noreply@blogger.com
