Life update: on the road! Spending the next three+ months traveling with my little family in this little school bus that we hand crafted into a dream home on wheels 🥰 4 days in and having a blast

I turned 30 today!

Had some excellent Persian food and some Karak chai and a ras malai cake for dessert. All my favorite things ☺️

This sweatshirt was my gift from my SO. That's my dog's face 🥹 It matches the painting his sister got me 2 years ago!

What are y'all working on for fun and fulfillment?

I'm distracting myself from *gestures wildly* the current state of this country with my next couple bus projects. Thinking of rewiring our lights with a 3-way dimmer switch and a second on/off control by the couch/bed area.

More darning adventures! Machine-darned my favorite jeans this time. The thigh rub area (ladies know how it is).

I swear this thread was a perfect color match on the spool 😅 it's a little pale on the fabric but hopefully eyes aren't drawn to my crotch too much because of it #darnit #clothingrepair

Found these at costco ONE WEEK AGO. Life changingly good. Went back today and they are already gone forever. RIP and I'll miss you 😭

Sunday project: first time darning!

Found some *magically* matching thread to my bf's patagonia climbing pants in my thread hoard. Took a few hours but they're good as new now (maybe better)!

Also fixed a frayed pocket seam while at it. Not my straightest line ever 😅

New e-reader setup appreciation post

No more dropping the e-reader on the floor when I fall asleep AND no more cold fingers holding it and turning the page outside the blankets 🥰

A new social app, a new opportunity to say this

Labne (lebni/labneh) is life.
It beats sour cream every day of the week. It goes well on everything.

If you don't agree, it is simple: you are wrong

They did this at dbt Coalesce conference '23 and '24! These are the fun vendor patches but the official conference patches are on the sleeve. I was a BIG fan

I did not create the child but I did successfully turn him into a starfish by crocheting this onesie

Cute! Do you know what engine it has?

I met someone with one of these last summer, she had been living in it for years!

Beyond that, size is key. Are you cool with driving a large vehicle? Or do you want it to fit in standard spots and drive like a pick up?

I got mine by serendipity not intention and I love it but if I could change anything, I'd get one with STRAIGHT WALLS 🤣

Btw handicap buses have no wheel wells 😉

You can get fancy with panel ground mounts, andersen connectors, extra breakers and fuses, but this is the minimum needed for a fully functioning system.

Me, I got extra fancy and installed it in an old school bus-turned-RV so I can take it on the go ✨ #skoolie #offgrid #vanlife #diysolar

An all-in-one inverter charger.

These are dead-simple to work; just wire up the panels and battery
and you're off to the races.

Mine was $540. They make them $$ but for a small system this serves well.

The unit you pick must match the voltage of your battery. Mine is for 24V.

Batteries!

LiFePo4 (lithium iron phosphate) is ideal (most stable, longest-lasting... expensive) but even car batteries will do.

You can get 12V, 24V, 48V, or even higher (V) batteries. 12V is what cars use. I like 24V for home + RV use. Get 4,800+ watt-hours of batteries (24V/200Ah or 12V/400Ah)
