I'm glad you asked!!! Thanks to xxx for all of this base station equipment. 
I have a HF base station and a 2m base station. Here is the 2m antenna. http://i1123.photobucket.com/albums/l543/bobjonesar15/Mobile%20Uploads/IMG_0283_zpsb9ebnk61.jpg I haven't installed the HF antenna and base station yet. Both of them need a power supply and for me to build a rack. Here is my new reloading bench/ham shack. http://i1123.photobucket.com/albums/l543/bobjonesar15/Mobile%20Uploads/IMG_0503_zpskczifgkl.jpg Also, got the surround sound in, and the TV for the wife lady woman. http://i1123.photobucket.com/albums/l543/bobjonesar15/Mobile%20Uploads/IMG_0517_zpsdrufa8nr.jpg And, my 21 FT rope.

He got his own AR this week. http://i1123.photobucket.com/albums/l543/bobjonesar15/Mobile%20Uploads/IMG_0481_zpse6k0e8jz.jpg One of my daughters has become an expert @ land nav. This is her doing the ESEE course @ Randalls. Awesome group of dudes up there. http://i1123.photobucket.com/albums/l543/bobjonesar15/Mobile%20Uploads/IMG_0328_zpsblk3dlx8.jpg My other daughter just likes boys and could give a shit less about any of this. Although she does a good job with the Rabbits. Quote HistoryQuoted:

Have you researched solar panels?

Have you researched solar panels? I have not. I know I'm not really a good candidate for anything large scale due to my house being surrounded by 70 foot trees. There might be a lurker here that knows a shitton about solar though. I'll let him decide if he wants to discuss it. |

Couple of updates.
Comms test (40 miles) over 2m was a bust. Apparently I'm not high enough to reach the low ground on the other side of the mountain. Bummer. HF is next. Spent the last two weekends rebuilding the front porch. 99% done. 
I bought some sheet metal to wrap around the table under the press, but I haven't put it on yet. I've got some feelers out to buddies to help me get setup. Probably be Christmas before I make a functional cartridge.

Never knew you had m4d carpentry skillz. Is there a such thing as "attempted mad carpentry skills"? If so, that's probably a better description.
My dad is a master carpenter, so that helps. I call him when I get into a pickle. |

I think it helps that I have teenage supervisors who are more skilled at safety than I am. |

Moving along nicely.
I've also finished the treehouse, procured some mo-betta transportation, and been working on precision gear. I finally got one of my buddies in on the DM game.
Rebuilt the front porch too. Need to get some pics of that. Right now I'm setting up to reload 308, since M118LR is next to impossible to find, and when you do, it's north of $1.50 a round. I can reload it for about $.70. Pics of the porch and treehouse in the next few days. Been doing a decent amount of training too. Between lighthorse tactical and talon defense, there is always something cool going on. Two day injured shooter (very physical class) 
Some nighttime FoF with lighthorse. 
EDIT: Realize I had already posted some of this stuff. Removed dupes. |

 on all of the above. My team attended the injured shooter class last summer in Gadsden, I missed out since I had to be in Selma to help teach firearms. They said that it was physical, but picked up on some extremely useful techniques. Get yourself a 2" drop belt loop for your Safariland rigs, you'll thank me.
