Well after all these years I finally have internet at home again. Thanks to a Wilson antenna / booster and Verizon hot spot. So who all of the original gang are still here? Hope everyone is doing well can't wait to catch up on what you all have been doing. We are still off grid here in central VA. The old jinma is still going strong, just got new front tires in fact. Blew one out over loading it.
To the more recent members hi I'm Larry aka biggkidd

good to hear from you, Larry! I'm still here, just not not making any big waves these days. I'm pleased to hear that you're still enjoying the off-grid life in Va. Having access to the 'net will make it even better!

I'll bet it is - when we h ave a big storm and the power and phone goes out, I can get by on my generator, don't miss the phone, never did have cable TV, but man, do I miss my internet! The 'net is my connection to the world, really, and if it is down for more than a couple hours I start jonesin' something fierce. I'd say that half the people I call friends these days are people I met on the 'net and some of them I still haven't met in person after fifteen years or more. No other invention of the 20th century has done as much to change my life, I think.

Larry welcome back! Things have been a little dull around here after you left and Rob just stop posting. Last I heard from Rob was he was building a few rental cabins. Amazed how long he keep going without some cash flow. Are you still contracting? Any pictures of the homestead?

Hi red No not contracting any more to hard on the old body, running a small engine shop in nearby town. Wish it was my place though.. maybe some day. Nickole moved out about two years ago, but the girls & i still get a little done now and then. So how about you? What are you up to these days? Larry
