Status: Sheltering in place, we have plenty of food and supplies.
We’ve installed a new Air Conditioner and there is a terrible amount of work to be accomplished. The highest priority is insulate the ducts against moisture and clean up the living room. I have to run a new duct to the living room and bedroom to give the air handler more flow.
Looks like the Church audio equipment is staying in the living room, we have another outdoor service in three weeks.
I weighed in at 217 today, that’s two Lbs over my maximum weight. I will reduce my calories in hopes to drop to 215 this week. 190 would be a great goal.
My EcoFlow R600 Pro won’t be shipped until the end of the month, I should get it around Christmas.
Karen AMI:So white people who celebrate the success of black lives demonstrates the inequity of the black experience and white people who don’t celebrate success of black lives also demonstrate the inequity? I am just trying to keep up here. And I must be a Karen because I don’t see race, I see PEOPLE, fellow human beings instead of a color. You don’t have to attack me, I know, that Not seeing color makes me a racist. And seeing color first makes me a racist too. I know. I am the problem. For sure. It’s a tough gig.

Narrative: I’m skipping the time bullets today. We got up and are drinking our Dominican Coffee this morning, it’s delicious!
Headed into the attic first thing this morning before it gets warm up there. I made a platform across the joists to sit/lay on. The roof is “Just” at where the nails keep poking into my head. An hour later i have a hole cut that is about 1/2 smaller than the desired hole. My tin snips were binding up preventing me from going further. I brought them down and put some oil on them. They need massaging before I go back up and the sun is warming the attic very quickly.
Back in the attic, i snipped the inner circle so that I could fold the flaps into the duct attachment ring. Using a pair of plyers I bent the tabs out of the plenum one by one. The duct ring fit perfectly over the tabs and I attached it with sheet metal screws. I added three extra screws at the top of the ring for support. It’s a 10″ duct with a 8″ WYE for the two vents.
Feelings: As Christians we are compelled to look after the Widows and the poor. Just how we do that in this climate when there is so much energy fighting the democracy I don’t know.
Researched Philippines Typhoons last month, they took a huge toll on the island. I watched several videos, 3-5 feet of water leaving 3-5″ of mud on everything inside their homes and on the streets. This will take a long time to clean up.
