Your money support would be a big deal for Slow Power / Mike.
Ideally I make all the money I need by installing power equipment. But I'm slow and I still suck at trades work and I can't resist the weird low-paying-but-high-learning jobs.
I want to keep sharing free resources thru this website and at ongrid.wtf. These "resources" include blog posts, explainer videos, and modeling software. I've built paywalls before... it's a lot of time not spent making the actual meaningful things. I'm hoping I can keep everything open — and those that benefit (who aren't scraping by)... contribute here.
Stop the monthly payment anytime thru this Stripe link.
Here are the options:
An awkward thing for me about donating...
I usually have no idea how the person / org is doing. Are they scraping by? Are they rolling in dough?
The baseline I need to get to — thru all income sources — is $5K per month...
Every month, I'll share the past month's donation total.
And once better organized, I'll also share my take-home Oakstead income (for field work).
