A redneck moves from the trailerhood to the suburbs for a little patch of dirt to call home and set up an as much as possible self sufficient lifestyle. Some things will go better than planned, others worse. Hopefully, most will at best be somewhere in between.

Spotlights Received & Installed
I received my solar powered LED spotlights the other day and wasted no time in installing the same. It's gonna take a bit of fine tuning to get them located where they'll get enough sunlight to keep the lit all night and pointed to where I exactly want them shining.
The main thing is now I have a little light more or less where I wished and a little is better than none.
Actually I need more AC (Alternating Current, not Air Conditioning) outlets around back and at least one out front. The only means I presently have of getting power to the back is one dual outlet and zero outlets in front. There is a motion detector style spotlight by the side door (which is my main entrance) but it doesn't work. I'll be on a week's vacation next week or the one after. I'm praying for the weather to cooperate so maybe I can climb my ladder and slap my meter on it with hopes of locating the malfunction and making repairs.
To make a long story short, I just want more lights around my home. There's a street light at the Northeast corner of the property, at the street (duh, at the street) but it doesn't put light where I want it.
Perhaps after Christmas I can pick up Christmas lights on sale or at my favorite shopping place: curbside!
Meanwhile, I continue to try to do the most with the least. It's not that I cannot afford to buy stuff (at full price) it's that I simply prefer not to when I can wait and get it for less. And as always with curb shopping I can possibly get it free for the hauling.
