http://arduinoalternatorregulator.blogspot.com/2020_05_01_archive.html
Arduino based Alternator Regulator. Friday, May 8, 2020. Last Revised June 20, 2013. After I completed the Arduino based integrated Small Engine Controller and Alternator Regulator some people expressed interest in a standalone regulator only version. So I started a designed leveraging the work done on the fully integrated project ( See SmartDCgenerator.blogspot.com. Why do this when there are many existing external regulators already on the market? A couple of other special features, some of which may m...

mv.VikingStar: High and Dry
http://mvvikingstar.blogspot.com/2015/07/high-and-dry.html
Thursday, July 23, 2015. Viking Star had an appointment at the spa! Al took care of paperwork, and the crew arrives. Three years worth of slime and crusties to be massaged off to see if they are hiding any problems. The captain is always anxious during this process. This new lift is run by remote control! She even swings back and forth in the sling as she stops over the 'bath' drain. Can you hear her sighing 'Aaaaaahhhhhhhh'? It makes a BIG difference. Ready for the work to begin!

mv.VikingStar: Troy's Week
http://mvvikingstar.blogspot.com/2015/07/troys-week.html
Saturday, July 18, 2015. The oldest grandchild came to spend a week with us. I think a good time was had by all! Troy basked in the attention of two adults not distracted by siblings. Papa got to impart so much knowledge. And Grammie got to take pictures! Olympia is only a two-hour road trip, so a same-day turn-around is not out of the question. Lindsay brought all four of her kids AND two daycare kids! Baiting the crab traps. Troy had coaching and was able to shuck oysters by himself! On our last mornin...

Thursday, August 6, 2015. We have just ended a month of non-stop company! We had grandson Troy with us for a week, then Michael came to help Al with the haulout and to cruise for a week, while I had two weeks visiting in Hillsboro.

This girl loves hats! Using her DS to take pictures for Mom and Dad. She helped ...

Friday, December 26, 2014. Seasons Greetings and Emails from mvVikingStar@gmail.com. Seasons Greetings to all from Kristi and Al. I am prompted to post this as I noted again there are Emails. Being sent out under Viking Star's name with a simple 'click. THESE ARE DANGEROUS EMAILS AND. WILL INFECT YOUR COMPUTER WITH A VIRUS! A spammer has been sending out a blast of Emails almost each month forging Viking Star as the 'sender'; they often contain only a single URL link to some web site and nothing else.

mv.VikingStar: July 2014
http://mvvikingstar.blogspot.com/2014_07_01_archive.html
Thursday, July 24, 2014. PowerPulse to the Rescue! Last nights news said Super Heroes are the rage this summer. So in that light: What does one do with a classically 'dead' battery? One that will not start the car, will barely hold the lights up, and will not take a charge? Why, you use the a Battery Super Hero - PowerPulse! With the idea of replacing the existing pulser on our house battery. As it would happen, last week my brother-in-law had a newly dead starter battery in an old truck (Yup, Farm truck...

mv.VikingStar: "It's so much cheaper to live on a boat", or is it??
http://mvvikingstar.blogspot.com/2015/01/it-so-much-cheaper-to-live-on-boat-or.html
Saturday, January 3, 2015. It's so much cheaper to live on a boat", or is it? We have been collecting and publishing our living expenses for going on 4 years now (just follow the ' Costs. Label to see them all). And when Kristi and I took a year off to help out her folks, we continued our tracking - as a way to allow comparison between costs for us to live on land vs. on boat. Now that we have resumed the water-life, let's take a look at the two sets of numbers:. 2014: - A year on Land. We own Viking Sta...

You can see that posting here: mvVikingStar.blogspot.com/2012/11/wifi-repeater-for-boat.html. This is a long post. I have broken it into several sections with click-able links:. Overview of the architecture of this repeater. Makeup of the repeater, why to buy. Steps necessary to per-configure the components. What do you do need to install this on your boat?

mv.VikingStar: June 2015
http://mvvikingstar.blogspot.com/2015_06_01_archive.html
Saturday, June 20, 2015. Kristi here. I've been working on my own projects too! Knitting continues to be very therapeutic to me. I started this scarf in February, the first project begun after taking a beginning knitting class. I used a pair of my Mom's needles. I called it my 'Tinkerbell' scarf because of the color and that it is light and airy. This one illustrates my advancing skill. The tail on the right shows gaps and uneven stitches. MUCH better on the other. One project done, another begun! Make s...
