"Sally da house" has moved

Well dag nab it, what's wrong with my batteries this morn'n? Ya see, yesterday morn'n I notice my voltage was much lower than what it supposed to be. OFM Barney was here, so he can verify that I have a problem. The charge controller. I giggles some wires around and the controller was do'n all kind of stuff it ain't supposed to do. I giggle 'em some more and now I got the connection block in one hand and the controller in the other. Holy cows, I done broke it for sure now. I breaks out my trusty solder gun kit an' fix it up lickity split......just like brand spank'n new. A hour later an' we back on line produc'n god sent solar energy to my batteries. Yeee ha!!!!

Then at bout 9am this morn'n, my voltage is low. What the hell??? OFM Barney climbs his old raggity up the ladder and says...."Yo Billy Bob, your solar panels are 90% covered with shade from them trees". That ain't never gonna work. So's I jumps in "that jeep" an' go off look'n for a new camp'n site where I can have 100% sunshine on the solar panels all day long. Fount 3 pretty nice ones. Then back at camp, I figger it's easier to just move "da house" to the other side the trees where there ain't no shade. And that exactly what I done. And.....the water hose will even reach now. A couple days of good sunshine and we be good to go.

Checked the fish'n reports for Falcon Lake. Ain't look'n too good. All the fish is sleep'n or something like that. Most bass fish what's been caught are in the 4 to 5 pounds range and are in deep water. You know, deep enough for the old Billy Bob to git drowned in. Sheesh....ain't gonna be no day like that. I got things to do ya know.

Speak'n of things to do, I rekon I'll cut this short an' do something. Laters....

  2. Glad you got your voltage problem solved. Hey Hermit, it is the guy at the butt end of the pole that counts.

  6. Hello Billy Bob,

    I've been enjoying your Blog every day now for several years, but have never commented until now. I live in S. Georgia and am about a year younger than you I am retired for about 7 years now, have a travel trailer and wish that I could be living a life similar to yours, but for various reasons, I guess that will never happen. I really enjoy your Blog and hope you never stop posting your stories and adventures, even if it it only about your laundry and dirty dishes. I can relate to that! I hope you have a Merry Christmas and many more good traveling and fishing years.

    Jim
