I had a friend visit AZ this year.
He described it as spiritual.
How would you describe it?

I would agree with your friend. The veil is thin here. It's a very healing place with so much open space and freshness. Hard to describe.

Good to see people putting content on Odysee even with the long legal drama they went through

Best thing - the clear view off sunsets
Worst thing - it's so dry
Most surprising thing - I believe it is a very powerful place for expansion.

I mean it is a great place to go to learn about self. Lots of beauty and space. The veil is thin here.

That's awesome. You are not alone having those feelings.
You said you need more motivation to get off your bed... Keep working on yourself!
I have the feeling that with this exploration you are doing by just talking to yourself is a great way to meditade and explore the corners of your mind.

Most definitely. That's what I feel the desert is all about. I have learned a lot by pulling myself outside of society.

Do you mine at night?

Not usually. I have a good size battery bank. But it's only good for a couple hours mining. Mainly just to buffer for clouds and slightly extend the work day. Also we use the power for our needs and sometimes will run less miners to meet those needs.

How long will it take to see roi on your mining setup?

Right when I purchased it all I got my return on imvest6. An offgrid system to Bitcoin for good number of years is exactly the return I wanted. I don't measure what I mine in USD. I just stack what I can and wait. No idea when the value will come back. But I am pretty sure I will get there eventually.

It is definitely missing pretty much all the extra safety devices it should have. The batteries have great bms's In them and I have breakers on the solar arrays. I think it is safe enough for me. I like to live on the edge.

Your breakers won't pop without a low resistance path to ground.
And it appears that your metal frame fan is sitting on top of your batteries with exposed terminals.
That's a pretty heinously edgy lifestyle..

For sure. I move slowly and mindfully so I don't run into many problems.
