To do list to be viewed on Kindle, possibly updated if internet is available

Decided to put this stuff on the blog not because I want others to read it, but to organize myself while out there, and to experiment with the Kindle device.  I may be able to use it out there.

Update:

The Kindle device did allow this when I first bought it in 2008.  It looks as if that has been discontinued.  The only way for me to get online now is to go into town.  That's a lot of time and effort just to use the internet.  One thing that I probably can do is to buy things on Amazon.  But of course.

Most likely, I will go dark on the blog for a few days.  If I have to go to town, then something probably went wrong.  Or I got stir crazy.  However, I do have a sat phone, so I can call out once a day to Wishbone and tell him everything is ok.

Update:

You can do reviews on Amazon for items that you buy.  I've bought several books that I haven't done a review on.  These can be uploaded out there to show me that it will work out there.



Goals for trip out west early April 2015:

1) set up tent. try out recliner in tent. [ tent is only an emergency shelter--- not a priority ]
2) assemble trailer. quickly! build quonset hut on top of it. [ no quonset on trailer, trailer is set to low priority ]
3) build quonset huts to receive goods from Houston [ goods from Houston to be deferred for at least a year, unless I change my mind again ]
4) build out trailer and make it more permanent [ low priority ]
5) finish canopy [ low priority ]

All those goals are now subject to being swept off the table. What do I really want to do out there?

1) Above all, determine readiness level in terms of skill sets and preparation.
2) Specifically want to:

a) set up solar power
b) build an 8x7 quonset hut using power tools
c) be able to:

   i) shave, shower, sleep, and shit like at home ( well, not quite )
ii) determine if at&t will work out there by using the kindle to do posts from there  

Priority list:

bldg materials : for 8 ( changed from 16) foot long quonset ( changed from 20 ):
2 cattle panels,
1 1/2 " fencing staples at Tractor supply along with panels
tape measure

hardware run: [ done ]
before using stain, probably want some stuff to fill in the edges --- cracks, and some sandpaper
5 gallon food grade buckets and lids
more screws, hinges
grocery store run: [ done]
cooking bowls for microwave cooking out there

heater hose used to circulate hot water

converting old desktop into wifi capable machine  [ wait on this until Kindle experiment is over ]

another greenhouse video, plastic sheeting may be better than what the cattle panel guy was talking about
