Rain Rain, we need it.

Can't fault the rain. I did some checking into whether I could add some hydro power to the setup, and the best I can come up with is "maybe". The only way I can see that would be feasible is to runn piping along the side of the house, with some kind of small water wheel. Seems like a natural kid magnet, the type that I'd be fixing all the time. Doesn't seem like it would add enough to the power scheme. I'll think about it. Besides, when I'ts raining, it seems that the wind is blowing...

Mentioned this to some one I know, they're really interested in how to power a home via hybrid power. I think this has potential...

I think tomorrow (wednesday) I'll pick up a battery at Walmart.com. See If I can get this whole thing started...
