Sunday II

A few more lines for the day.

4's lament today on trackingkch is the stuff of a theatrical farce. Or a new case of Murphy's Law.

OK. What would be on your list of the 10 things you would take with you to a deserted, tropical island with no stores or existing structures? A contemporary Swiss Family Robinson.

Here's my first take:

1. A laptop with satellite Internet access. And a solar recharger system.
2. A miniature, solar-powered desalinization plant.
3. Plenty of S-things. ( shoes, shorts, sandals, socks and sunglasses.)
4. A solar-powered hot plate.
5. An espresso machine. (The island has coffee plants.) (An Americano is just hot water and Espresso.)
6. A complete set of cutlery, including scissors, ax, clippers and an industrial strength saw.
7. An adequate set of pots, pans, glasses, dishes and silverware. (Half coconuts and wooden spoons just don't appeal to me.)
8. A solar-powered refrigerator with ice machine.
9. A stash of pens and paper.
10. A basic tool kit with pliers, hammer, duct tape, etc.

This is kind of an interesting exercise. Give it a go!

Have a great week.

you can't count "cutlery" as one item!!! if you want to do it for real, you would get ONE knife, not a fancy set!! sounds like you'd also need some multi-functional solar power unit for all of your gadgets...hope you don't get sand anywhere! the desalinization plant is a good idea...
