For me it's about options and more options.

It's funny when you said, "After studying the pictures carefully I think I'm beginning to understand..." That's how I've done it in the past, especially before the Internet and with people like me that seem to give away all their secrets.

When I didn't coming up with it in my head I took photos or if I didn't have a camera I drawn what I was looking at on the spot and analyzed the material with loops or large magnifying glasses later. Plus, I checked out every brochure out there trying to figure it all out since no one back then (and even now, really) wanted to give up the goods. I still have a serious magnifying glass and work light on two goosenecks living on my office desk. Its part of my mindset -- Investigate and gather as much intelligence as possible. Even my own stuff; you know, part of the "reinventing" side of me...

You’re right; it is part of my never ending process of "reinventing" myself. That is one of the reasons why I can take so long to finish a build project. I can spend thousands on a design and build out and redo it because I figured (or someone pointed out) a better way to do it. Hey, I rather have the better situation than be stuck with something I have to work around.

Elroy will be able to power other vehicles and support equipment, even backline gear when necessary. There are three power systems in the mobile unit. A transformer isolated main and auxiliary AC system and a 100 amp DC system.

Well, if you folks don’t have too many comments because they don't understand what it’s all about exactly, ask specific questions and you’ll get an answer. Hey, who else is going to do that? Many years ago I asked somebody (a top tier remote guy) what kind of HVAC (air conditioner system) they were using and I got a smart arse answer back.

Listen: NO ONE WANTS TO GIVE UP THE GOODS.
You folks better start asking some questions before I wake up and stop answering "all these" questions!
