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 dining room and do a bit of insulating on the ductwork over the living room.
Looks like the Church audio equipment is staying in the living room, we have another outdoor service in three weeks.
I weighed in at 220 today, that’s five 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. The Awkwardness of White Joy. Four days later Shane Paul Neil
The COVID numbers have gotten really high from Thanksgiving, in fact they are the highest I’ve ever seen them.
Narrative: I’m skipping the time bullets today. The heater is working pretty well with the majority of the ducts connected back. I used the NodeMCU network to record some data on the performance of the ducts I’ve already installed. (Not Many)
I am nursing my foot again today. I hurt it weeks ago and it’s swollen from walking on it all day Sunday. I’m playing taxi this morning to the doctor’s office. I slept a good part of the day today trying to stay off my foot. I found out later that I can wear my work boots and if they are tightly laced it feels really good on my foot. I’ve soaked it twice today in cold water as well.
I’ve been working in the attic again today. Pulled the West metal trunk line apart and removed the 6″ metal duct to the sewing room. I installed a double insulated flexible duct to the sewing room before the wife called “Dinner”. The Wye from 8″ to 6″ had oil on it so I couldn’t proceed anyway. (The duct tape won’t stick to the metal covered in oil.) I don’t know if the oil was left over or it was a return that someone spilled oil onto it. (or laid it down on oil in their vehicle.)
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, I checked the Internet and they were pretty bad off. Homes and crops were destroyed and thousands are displaced without enough food or water.
