I am looking to build a hydro power plant, We are moving to a site that is well off the grid and we have a good flowing creek. I'm looking for Pelton wheels and any components, inverters, regulators, pipe and wire, for sale or trade.
This is bonsai related, thats what we do and we will need protection in greenhouses for some of our work. Power up! Big difference between valley floor where we are now and 4000' elevation where we are moving to. Any help is greatly appreciated, Thanks, Rick

Off the grid!
No phone?
No light?
No motorcar?
Not a single luxury?
Like Robinson Crusoe?
As primitive can be?
Oh wait. That's some other people.

My advice: Simplify, simplify, simplify. Ditch any non-hardy plants and go with natives..once your settled in.

Think alike we do and for 2 years I have considered this myself. Internet searching I have done for home hydro generation and found there are several different ones available.
Sent you a PM in Apr to contact you. Can you contact back possibly with phone #?

Nah I like your poem..."know it" just rhymes better than "realise"...perfect way to end a good poem.
That's the way I always use it when something i say, rhymes by accident.

Ok, now you're forcing me to ruin it. EVERYONE knows that stupid saying, to the point that it's annoying rather than funny when someone says it! For that reason, I intentionally start it and then INTENTIONALLY DONT END IT WITH A RHYME. It's a joke . . . that you clearly didn't get. I find your insistence on the cliché deeply disappointing.
Edit: it's 3am - don't take it too personally.

Yeeah you ruined it alright. You ruined it when you tried to be clever by alternating a classic silly joke. It would've been the perfect ending...silly poem...silly ending. The "stupid" ending is what makes the thing work... YOU don't get it.. its a classic that cant be altered. YOUR'E the only one thinking it as stupid. EVERYONE with some sense of humour will always appreciate it for what it is... A CLASSIC SILLY JOKE that don't need altering !!!
Yeah its 1am here - I fully understand ;)
