Day: December 31, 2018

Status: New Years Eve, rain all day.

Plans: Work on mom’s budget and make plans for a permanent installation of the Pi-Aware.

Narrative:  Played a game of Scrabble with the sweetheart. Watched a romantic comedy that was a take of the 6 Days/ 7 Nights, it was in the wintertime woods on snowmobiles in this movie.

Plotted my son’s radio performance after permanently mounting the antenna in his attic and moving the Pi to his closet.

Engineering: The Pi-Aware on my house needs a better antenna and a place to put the receiver that is cool and dry. I’ve ordered replacements for the larger antenna and coax that I gave my son this weekend. I have a box that will work as an outside container for the Raspberry Pi. It needs a hole for the watertight conduit. I also need to construct a power supply to power it over the Ethernet cable from my cave. I also intend on giving the Pi its own network, because we don’t have control over the software being used.

Tomorrow: Company for New Years Day.

Status: Early Monday morning, should rain again today. It’s been several days without bright sun so solar batteries are showing the drain.

Plans: Stay loose, have to work a budget modification for my mom in the next couple days. Need to strengthen my emotional state and continue to recover from the chaos moving my mom this year.

Narrative: I read somewhere that it’s better to sleep with it cool, like 68 degrees. In the summer that would require a bit of power, but now in the winter it’s just a click on the thermostat. The first thing I’ve noticed is that it’s terribly comfy under these comforters, but is now very chilly to make a trip to the bathroom. The heat pump has to work pretty hard in the morning since we’re recovering the inside temperature to 70 during the coldest part of the day. (May have to change that.)

Tomorrow:
