Points for whomsoever can tell me to whom this medal was awarded and for which event.................

Hmm London 2012 Olympic medal.

That must be Tidgy’s for her Chess victory?

 

[Cathie G]

Yes, so who has the job of wrenching the Wooden Spork away from the steely grip of Kris @Lokkje ?
Well, I may have moaned, but it has to been the devastatingly huge minuses incurred by our own @CarolM
Never in the history of the Cold Dark Room has such a massive minus total been achieved.
I am flabbergasted.

That's only because she likes to play the game of chance.?

We live off grid. No mains electricity, gas or water. I think we are mad sometimes

I grew up sort of like that in the 50's through even the late 60's. We had to heat water from a hand pump in the kitchen for baths. We did have a gas cook stove and lights though. It was different but I can't say it was bad.?

Yes, that is sad.

I'm cooking. Only because I forgot to buy Kentucky Fried on the way home from the grocery store. So I'm cooking a Sunday dinner instead of having a lazy Sunday.?

 

[Chubbs the tegu]

Kentucky fried sounds goo toooo! Damn

Hmmmm.
I think Sunday dinner wins every day of the week!
I'm not very fond of Kentucky Fried Chicken.

Yes, the small little solar panel system that I have is tied into four deep cycle marine type batteries. So the panels keep the batteries charged. I then use a DC to AC converter to power 110v things. But yes, storage costs. I think these batteries were $125.00/e@ch. so, not chesp.

That looks like a good way. Especially in Florida. When I lived there the electricity wasn't really reliable during storms and they didn't have anti-surge equipment at the power company itself. So when it did come on it could ruin stuff. That may have changed but still not having any power can get real bad also.

We happen to have a good one here close to my grocery store. Because I forgot to stop by their drive thru I'm cooking ? Chicken, mashed potatoes, noodles and a veggie. Whatever...
