    Monkeys with wrenches, Chickens with electricity, and other things that don’t make sense-A day in the life of an off-grid solar installer

    I think there might have been two pics of Denise on the internet until this thread as well. What we are witnessing here is either some personal growth, drinking on the job or most likely, Dan getting the middle finger after each photo :D

    Vehicle options for tall people...

    I've got a customer that's 6'6" and swears by his Subaru Outback. Leg room is plentiful, and headroom is epic with the seat down.

    Married and finances

    When we got together, I had a business that was barely hanging on and she was a couple months from filing chapter 7. Together we had a few hundred dollars and somehow made ends meet. It's been one checking account and one savings account since the beginning and we've never had a fight about...

    Monkeys with wrenches, Chickens with electricity, and other things that don’t make sense-A day in the life of an off-grid solar installer

    They are on the way back up there for the week, not sure how often he’ll check in but I believe he said this is 49000 watts.

    Hostile takeover of Havasu Palms

    I grew up at the Palms. Mid 80's through early 90's my folks had a place there and loved it. My dad and his best friend at the time worked maintenance for Walt for a couple of seasons. I'd stash my bike in the bushes at the Havasu marina and arrive by boat early Monday morning and pedal to...

    Monkeys with wrenches, Chickens with electricity, and other things that don’t make sense-A day in the life of an off-grid solar installer

    Chicken Dan is our neighbor. You’ve seen a lot of his handy work in my Off The Grid thread. He and Denise are also partnered with us on the poultry side of the farm business. It’s disturbing how much time we spend together. I’ve even started telling bad jokes, Chicken Dan style😳

    Penny the cat...

    We have between 4 and 7 cats around here at any given time. The amount of stuff they kill is mind boggling. Mice, squirrels, rabbits, lizards, snakes (two of them killed a rattle snake a few years ago, was wild to watch) and lots of small birds. Two things always amaze me. One, how they can eat...

    We'd appreciate some feedback for a new idea

    The feedback has been overwhelmingly positive in favor of this. I spent most of yesterday setting everything up on our end to have the first round of these available in September. Havasu, Bullhead, Kingman, Prescott deliveries will be first part of September. SoCal (Fontana) delivery is...

    On your swag order you checked the Blue Bell ice cream box instead of the tshirt box🤷‍♂️

    We'd appreciate some feedback for a new idea

    Each year you have been inching closer towards this new cut. You still like your 7 bone chuck roasts and I believe Becky likes the cross rib and bottom round roasts for winter. You always spend a few bucks extra for 1lb ground beef packages and tomahawks. As much beef as your family goes through...

    We'd appreciate some feedback for a new idea

    These guys eat so much burger that we have to keep it in stock as an add on or to sell separately. It’s not uncommon for a RDP family to pick up 40lbs of ground mid way through eating their 1/4 beef just to extend it. I think this will be much more user friendly for as many as half our current...

    We'd appreciate some feedback for a new idea

    Typically I want people to have 7cu ft for one of our 1/4’s as they tend to run large as we don’t strip cuts out for individual sale. Steaks and ground beef only stack so stinkin’ neat compared to odd size roasts and London broils that I think 6cu ft will be very comfortable.

    We'd appreciate some feedback for a new idea

    It’s all the same premium steaks we offered before. The difference is all the rounds, roasts, ribs, shanks, neck bones etc are done as ground with the chuck being ground on its own for burgers. Should be close to the same package weight these guys have gotten for years, minus bone weight. We’ve...

    Eddie wanted shanks with his so I've got you on Amy's cut. You're still getting all these steaks, plus ribs and some roasts and not as much ground.

    We'd appreciate some feedback for a new idea

    Joe, I've been sneaking into SoCal almost monthly for a couple years now. We've got a whole socal farm family :D . They text orders and we meet once we have a full load.

    We'd appreciate some feedback for a new idea

    Current pricing averages $11.50-$12lb but that has Havasu delivery built into it- 400 mile round trip for us. Add $75 for socal delivery
