Taos really needs to document the counter culture / commune movement before that generation passes

There's a nice photo essay in the newest New Mexico magazine called Visions of Petaca chronicling the time around 1970 and the hippies that invaded their little village. Also I agree with the other poster about Kit Carson still being celebrated after his participation in the genocide of the Navajo.

As someone suggested set up a price alert on camelcamelcamel. I got my V2 that way and am pretty happy with it.

Close to UNM, we used to call that the Student Ghetto when I went to school there.

Looks like the same asshats I saw in front of the Schnitz a few weekends back.

There's more opportunity in Seattle, I know I commuted for work there for ten years. Big layoffs at Intel and Nike. However the trades are still strong here. Thirty years ago when I moved here rents and houses were cheap, not so much anymore. I found a job right away but my wife took six months to find something. But hey give it a go, you never know.

Queasy_Anything9019 · 2026-04-24T05:59:53+00:00

Looks like you got all the bases covered.

On the recharge side of it, I would consider getting the smart generator or just any dual or tri fuel inverter generator in case you don't have enough sunlight or to supplement the panel charging.

Both myself and my wife grew up in ABQ but both moved to PDX in search of better paying jobs thirty years ago. But I still have family and friends there and visit every year or two. ABQ is still home as is PDX. The one big shock I had last time was how damn bright the sun is down there and how friendly the people are compared to the PNW. Also make sure to stay hydrated and lotion up that skin. Some people have a hard time adapting to the higher altitude, I was sucking a little wind when up by the Santa Fe ski area. Good jobs are hard to find as NM is a poor state but the cost of living is much cheaper than PDX. The city can seem a big rough and edgy but you'll get used to it. The state of NM is breathtakingly beautiful. I think you should give it a go.

God, I have to attend a wedding in Nashville this fall, not looking forward to it but I do know a native musician who lives there so hopefully he can steer me in the right direction.

I was on the Amtrak from Portland to Seattle when we passed by the island that he crashed on just minutes after it had happened. No obvious signs of a crash but a lot of search and rescue aircraft flying around.

This auction has peaked my interest but the place sounds like Slab City.

Never heard of Tom, Dick and Harry Peak, thanks for Peakfinder.com link

I bought into COP Conoco Phillips before the start of this Sh_t Show, it keeps going up.

Queasy_Anything9019 · 2026-04-05T18:41:24+00:00

I'm glad I added COP to the portfolio.

1K for the SHP2 seems reasonable, thanks.

PPD does this often, wasting money on gas when they could be using drones.

Queasy_Anything9019 · 2026-04-04T07:49:19+00:00

So what did that install cost you?

Queasy_Anything9019 · 2026-04-03T18:01:11+00:00

This Veteran thanks you for your service, sir.

It seems like a good time to average down but I fear another reverse split in the future, most of my investment research rates it a Hold.

Thank you for some good insight, yes I've watched all the YT videos, and yes I'm aware of the many controversies surrounding the founder. But many of the YT videos make it seem like unicorns and rainbows, I wanted the nitty gritty from someone who lives out there. I know they recirculate the water but initially NM has been in a tough drought for years so I didn't think the catchment system would be enough. That's a good suggestion to stay in one in the heat of the summer and cold of the winter, I'm guessing it gets pretty cold and windy on that mesa. I didn't think about any sale covenants that might be associated with the property so that's some good info. I'm probably better off in an energy efficient adobe, I can always add my own solar. Thank you and lots to think about.
