Hello: What a wonderful forum! I was searching for some advice on rebuilding an electric motor and this site was recommended by Grok AI. There is so much more here, it is really an impressive site and some of the nicest use of the Forum structure I have seen in many years.

So I guess I am supposed to be introducing myself not gushing over the site. I am in the Central Florida area, between Daytona Beach and the Ocala National Forest, in a town of about 1,500. One of the few "Real Florida" towns left. I am a software engineer by trade, I am married to a school teacher and we both like DIY type stuff. I can't say we are part of permaculture, but we like to do many things that would be permaculture adjacent. I'm sure I will find good information here and hope I can actually provide some.

Hi Scott,

It’s great to have you here.  You have found the best site on the web.

….give me coffee to do the things I can and bourbon to accept the things I can’t.

Hi Scott!

I'm sure your region has changed a lot since 1975

Yes, permies has something for everyone and gushing is okay
