The second annual Eco arts festival was a great success, the last couple of years have been colder on earthday, guess it is mother earths way of saying that we need to be more friendly to her.         Working all winter on my self sustaining bike was really rewarding, I was grateful for finishing it up just in time for earth day. There were a multitude of question of how it worked and how long the battery would last. As for how long it would last I had not fully tested it at this time, but can tell you that on a cloudy day that it lasted all day and was battery gage was about half empty.  Many that were interested in the machine liked how the solar panels were above so that would protect you from the sun and the rain, which was a added benefit to the overall design. I wish I was more a salesman though because I had many question on how much I would sell them for, and my response was I was not for sure, especially since this was a prototype. Either way I was really happy with the entire day and looking forward to taking it to many more places.

After the event was  the main event savage aural hotbed, they were a great industrial band with a lot of drumming and mechanical music. Thumbs way up for this band. 

At the same time the ironhead iron pour was happing, for anyone that has a bit of A.D.D this was a great exprience.
