Edited by Cactus Jane


The main thing to understand is that we are imprisoned in some kind of work of art.” – T.M.

♡ TERLINGUA'S OWN ♡ UH CLEM ♡ has decided to change stages and move on over to play music with some of his old buddies like Cowboy Doug, Slim Ritchey, Steve Fromholz and so many more. Glenn Felts will be tending bar with Wade and JoJo on the dance floor, and we know that Just Jake, Gonzo, Janet, and Tim Reynolds will be there, too.  Clem chose to leave Wednesday evening, and as always, it was on his own terms.  Clem has held a special place in the heart of our community for so long ... we will miss him puttering around on his 4 wheeler and we damn sure will miss his cranky ways. Happy Trails to you...  Uh Clem's daughter Susan will be staying in the area for a while cleaning and clearing stuff out.  Please feel free to stop by and visit.  The family will be making decisions and announcing info about a memorial in the future.  R.I.P. Uh Clem

ALL ENERGIES TIP OF THE WEEK: Did you know that the longest-lasting part of a solar system is usually the solar panels themselves? Solar panels -- often referred to as “modules” -- vary in price, dimensions, wattage, and efficiency. The modules themselves consist of multiple photovoltaic cells connected together to create voltage. Modules of 36 cells were once very common because they could charge 12 volt batteries directly (which is why they are often referred to as 12V panels). In 1999, a 36-cell module cost about $5 per watt, and an 80W module would have cost about $400. Today a 36-cell module is usually closer to 200W, and at $0.80 per watt it costs only about $160. Today, 36-cell modules are much less common than 60-cell and 72-cell modules, because matching the module voltage to the battery voltage is no longer necessary, thanks to Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) charge controllers. If you need help making your solar system work better, email casey@allenergies.net or call/text (432) 242-1874.
