** HANG WITH US WITH WHILE WE UPDATE REBELRANCH.US
Hello all. Well, six months has passed since we departed Rebel Ranch, on not such good terms! ha. It has been a while for a reason, besides life changes, we left the ranch with a sour taste in out mouth and were not too anxious about returning. With some subtle inspiration from my lovely wife,…
After a few weeks from some serious work, we updated some things this past weekend. It has been a while. Sheralee came into LV for a weekend, and then we kinda took a weekend ‘off’, just doing some maintenance type things for the next weekend. This weekend we had a chance to get back to…
Happy July! It is here, whether you like it or not, and with July comes monsoon season in the Southwest. As you will see later on…it did come down Saturday afternoon. Glove retirement! Yes, finally it was to put my faithful leather gloves to rest. There is only so much duct tape can do. Water…
It has been a little while since I have updated. Basically two week(ends) of trips to account for. Last weekend was Memorial Day weekend, a nice 3 day weekend. We had a great visitor for the weekend, my daughter Katherine came up from Phoenix to hang at Rebel Ranch and check out all the things…
After a three week absence, mainly due to weather in Arizona and Mother’s Day, we finally made it back to the ranch. Last we were on the property, the annual road maintenance had just begun, how exciting. Well, not sure how far that went. With two weeks of good rain, the roads are back to…
I went up on Wednesday this past week to get a little extra time working on some projects we are trying to wrap up. Low and behold, my week ended up with talking to company HR departments and some interviews over the phone. So, all in all, very productive end to the week. The project…
Since I was off the first half of the week last week, I decided to head to the ranch on Wednesday last week. I could work remotely Thursday and Friday, and then get some stuff done after work and on the weekend. Upon arriving Wednesday I found that indeed the batteries were not being charged…
We made it back up to the ranch early Saturday morning, a beautiful day once again. First thing, of course, I check on is the solar…wha wha wha…and it is bad once again. Found a bad connection on the DC input of the charge controller…where I had melted wires/inputs on former charge controllers. Same thing…
We are back at it again, hopefully full force now…if the weather holds up. The weather this weekend was sunny and close to 70 degrees, just great…although it dropped to about freezing at night. The wood stove worked great, and having a nice big fire outside didn’t hurt either. We brought along our new weekend…
Well, finally made it back to the property after some heavy winter weather that made our roads impassible. Sheralee and I headed up on Saturday the 16th to drop off some railroad ties/materials for our new container to be dropped off and located. After stopping in Kingman to get the materials, we headed up to…
