Dear Patreons,

Usually, you would get your preview of the new video. This time it is different. I would like to inform you that I have to revise my schedule for the next two months because I have a few things going on which will require a lot of my time. One is the installation of solar panels on my and three neighbors' houses including the needed electronics and batteries. Because we will not just buy the whole installation but rather build it ourselves with the help of a specialist, the planning and execution will take quite some time. And because I was the initiator, a little more work stays with me ;-) 

The plan to build these panels was already old, but with the current situation in Europe, the decision-making was expedited. I hope I can create a video and show you what we did.
The next time-consuming task is one on my bucket list: I will go to Las Vegas and there, a Harley waits for me and a few colleagues to drive parts of Route 66 and other nice roads. Some of you know that I love the US and I was no more there for quite some time. And my last year's adventure trip to the Pamir mountains was canceled.
There is still one big trip on my bucket list: Driving home from Peking with a 4-wheel drive car. Because this will take three to four months it has to be done when I give up YouTube. So it has to wait a bit...
My current plan is to skip one video each month and go to a two-week schedule with maybe a quickie or so in between. I hope this is ok with you.

Regards
Andreas

Hi Robert, Thank you for the link. I will be a member of an (organized) group. So I do not have a lot of choices. But we will visit a few parks and also the Grand Canyon (however without a flight). The program is quite dense because the distances are big compared with what we have in Switzerland... Some of my colleagues with BMWs would argue that the technology of our Harleys still is from the ages when they opened the highway ;-) Regards Andreas

Have fun, Andreas. Really interested in the solar panels project. We have the grounds to do something like this and have been thinking about it for quite a while (before the current issues in Europe) so would be very interesting to hear how you get on with it. Take care. Regards, Sarah

Hi Sarah, Thank you! Solar also was on my list for quite some time. Last year I started to investigate and found a few young people who support homeowners to build solar panels with know-how and material. I found this a good idea and wanted to support that. I was able to convince 3 neighbors so we can install around 30kW peak divided into 4 parts with an inverter and a battery for every house (we only have small houses built together in a row). Like that we stay independent but can save money and time while building. And it should become a fun project.
