So I got a little caught up in school...

Well that and I decided that the investment would not really be a great idea right now. Initially I had thought that I would be able to do minor repairs to the solar system to get it up and operational, since then I have done some research into batteries and found that the lead-acid used in the original set up would most likely be damaged from having been discharged completely (especially over this long a time period). So instead I will be focusing myself toward some of my other interests i.e. reading about artificial intelligence and a disorganized list of other science/tech related books (the result of which will most likely be a ton of impossible to complete ideas, not because they are literally impossible, but rather because of resources, time, people etc). Thankfully winter break is coming up so I 'should' have more time to do that.
