At The Shop

One more day waiting for GANNET2 to be ready for the next part of the road, but the work is moving right along. Our ever irritating second alternator is out after much grunting. 

It took time and effort but the accessory alternator supposed to charge our house batteries as we drive finally yielded to strength and came out.

Adrián suggested we lost more than a hundred pounds weight removing the alternator that rarely ran smoothly in five years of driving. 

Piles of heavy cable cane with it all replaced by one blue box, the smallest of the there below: 

Next to it are three 180 amp Victron batteries all three combined the sizes of one of our old 250 amp Go Power lithium batteries and we had two. 

Adrián the retired Argentine Air Force engineer is doing a great job of doing things right. I love the logic and simplicity of his installation . We are confident this will hold together for years to come. He likes things done right. We meanwhile keep our fingers crossed. 

Our neighbors and the road out front.  

A French Toyota Land Cruiser in storage. In Uruguay you can easily get permission to store your vehicle up to one year so lots of Europeans do that while they spend summer at home. 

Rusty living well.
