Off to work but got a bit done on the Bus this weekend. The rain inhibited me tho. >:(

And my contain garden is doing great! Strawberries, basil, broccoli and green bell peppers. I also have a tomato topsy-turvy garden that is doing great as well, but didn't get a pic.

I bought my plants from the farmers market and they are planted in organic soil. :)
2:30pm
I am searching different solar options I can use in my van. Basically my power needs will be cell phone charging, laptop charging, and playing music. I may have a few LED lights around, but I will rely mostly on Lanterns- especially this cost efficient (or so it boasts)
Lantern from GoWesty. What are my solar options?
Solar Cell Phone Charger:
around $40Solar Music Player! (looks like I'd need a Zen MP3 Player tho)
As for my laptop, I can charge that when I am accessing free Internet at any coffee shop or McDonals!
has anyone else heard of some sort of solar speaker system? I realize it couldn't be too powerful. But I am looking ahead towards those Middle Of Nowhere Campouts and deafening silence. Or that song that just won't get out of my head until I hear it. Guitars aren't in my storage space budget.
