Last night we had the local members of SeeYouThere club over.  Jeff (founder) Diana, Genise and Bernard, I had such a good time, I forgot to take out the camera and record the festivities. Andrea, we missed you. Sorry you couldn't make it!  The purpose of our gathering (and generally, not much excuse for celebration is needed) was to wish me well on my trip down the coast of Florida. Jeff came armed with a nice boat-warming gift: a really neat flashlight. We had burgers, salad and various deserts.  Karen's efforts were much appreciated!

Since last night, I have added four mesh bags to the cabin doghouse sides.  These are here to stuff light items like warm underwear, sleeping clothes, mosquito nets, etc.

I added a holder for the USB puck GPS which plugs into the 7 port powered I/O USB multiport.  All USB devices can be plugged in here leaving one cord to go to the net-book.  The device is powered by 12 volts so no draw is placed on the net-book supply

To clarify a question by Genise: This is the composting head.  The blocking baffle DOES pull out of the way for "business."  Then closes securely.  The head is ventilated by a low-power fan. Notice some supply holes were drilled on the opposite side to provide ventilation.  The fan eliminates odors and provides oxygen to the composting process.  These babies retail for $1800.  Mine cost $50 to make and works just as well.

Belle's solar panels are soaking up the rays and keeping a good charge on the battery bank.
