I did it and it works!!!!!!  This is my very first 'real' solar panel.  I have solar charged devices, but not an actual solar panel.  I bought a kit off of ebay.  I've always been intimidated by the different terms used for solar.  Wiring is the same as 'regular' wiring...

I'm surprised that nobody has mentioned using an old fashioned sharpenable straight razor.&nbsp; Being a barber, I'm rather partial to straight razors.&nbsp; I have shaved some tough, gnarly beards in my career!&nbsp; Steam, steam, steam!&nbsp; Get a towel really good and hot and slap it on your...

Very well put Mortisha!&nbsp; <br><br>I find that once I get through to single men that I'm really and truly only interested in friendship that most of the time it works out great.&nbsp; Many times we get into the trading type situation that Mortisha spoke of.&nbsp; I love to cook and tend to be...

Would any of y'all that are experienced at gold prospecting consider taking an apprentice?&nbsp; I'd like to see if it's something I like doing before I shell out a lot of money on equipment.&nbsp; Something like I would work with you for a pre-agreed upon amount of time.&nbsp; All gold that is...
