I dropped off the charge controller the other day to have it checked out. I got back an answer via email today saying it is bad. He wanted to know if I had gotten it wet. The answer is no as it's in a dry place and well-protected. He said he will give me a new controller, let's see what happens when I go on Monday.
On the blog, I changed the "comments" section below so it now includes a "reply" function. It took me awhile to get it figured out and in the process I lost my Google Ads. I need to work on that and get them back on line. This gives me a chance to answer questions publicly and for you to do the same.
Many people on Facebook ask me why I am complaining about the cold. They say "it's Mexico". Geography lesson please! Last night here on the ranch it was -2C, I know that's not like Wisconsin or Ontario but for us it's cold. Cement houses aren't well insulated. We have gas radiant heat in the livingroom/kitchen area and highwall units in the bedroom. We use electric blankets under the sheets and that works quite well. There is another cold front (number 29) coming on Monday as well. We have snow up on the moutain about 25 minutes from here.
Maybe you should come to South Africa....it's been a steady 27C or so since we got here! Meanwhile, -25C back in our home town of Ottawa, Ontario!

Only if we could rv. Your post on South Africa really interest us. It is 6:45 a.m. and it is -1C, too cold for me. Can't wait to see you guys. Come home soon!
ReplyDeleteStrange about the controller, they are usually pretty bulletproof. Let us know what develops.
ReplyDeleteSo I was reading your earlier post about the trip to San Sebastian where Juan first taught. I was trying to find it on Google Maps, but they don't know where it is, LOL. Then you made reference to being in Santiago, NL. Is that an interesting spot? Is there recreation on the lake? Seems like it'd be pretty rural.

Where we have a reason to stop in Monterrey on our (someday soon) roadtrip through Mexico, but wonder if it's worth seeing Santiago too.
You wouldn't want to miss it. Santiago is a pueble magico, has a beautiful plaza, town and great outdoor hiking and camping. Rental cabins abound and it is the gateway to some beautiful mountain scenery on your way south whether you are taking the east coast or central route through Mexico. Hwy 20 goes up the mountains to Laguna de Sanchez. Google Earth has problems finding the lagoon but I am still looking. Once I find the coordinates I will post them.
DeleteSo Santiago is on the Presa Rodrigo Gomez, about 20 miles south of Monterrey on Highway 85? Sounds interesting. I'll have to add it to my itinerary. Thanks for the reply!
DeleteOK, I found Laguna de Sanchez too. These are the GoogleMap Coordinates: 25.346159,-100.287323 (more or less).
DeleteThanks for the tips!

ReplyDeleteJean, are you talking about your blog? Send me an email and I can send you the code. It was easier than I thought. Now I want to create a block that sets off reply from the others. living.boondockingmexico@yahoo.com
