well, thank you for the kind offer, Lola ... I'm better now, it comes and goes ... I don't meant to spoil anyone's dream, just wanted to point out that it's no treat, living off-grid ... however, a lot of the hardships are a result of age, and health ... doing this when I was 20, was a helluva lot easier than it is now ... I wish the guy luck, and satisfaction :thumbsup:
