Status: Two very full fruit crates from Florida are left to be sorted and put away.
Narrative: I’ve had a problem for a while that the calluses of my feet crack and get infected. The first thing I do is to saw open the crack so that it can breathe and I can get medicine in the wound. Softening the callus is next on the list using a lotion of some kind. The hard part about that is I generally don’t wear shoes in the house. I wear socks to keep my feet clean, the socks in turn absorb the lotion reducing the healing affect I wanted. So, I came up with putting plastic bags on my feet under my socks?
Our 32 bags of Coffee arrived today.
I worked on the living room tubs and reintegrating the larger 18AH batteries back into the house electrical system. The first recipient was the DC supply for some of the smaller lights in the house it has a primary and secondary power supply with battery backup. I pulled the batteries off the secondary supply in March to supplement the farm’s network. I also put ferrite beads on the wires at the lights to reduce the Electro Magnetic Interference (EMI) generated by the lights.
It turns out that the 12V DC lights from Amazon are very noisy electrically and we occasionally loose our TV reception because of the low voltage lights in the house. (I need to start looking for UL on the bulbs.) I saw an automotive bayonet to E-26 Edison adapter for $15 on Amazon, but that’s outrageous.
I am going all out tonight to get a good nights sleep. I’ve put a “Breathe Rite” strip on my nose and cleared my sinus with saline. I’ve put eye drops in my eyes and kept them closed for more than 5 minutes to give the solution time to work. I’ve taken 2+2 “Advil” tablets to reduce the pain in my shoulder and arm muscle.
Engineering: I need to sit down and work up a flowchart for power produced by the two solar panels on the roof. I have three desirable recipients for the 700WH/Day of electricity. It’s NOT enough power to keep the refrigerator running much longer than 36 hours. (Depends on what time of day the power fails.) Our CPAP power supply needs to be replenished with 560WH during the day of Day-2 of the outage. (That will take president over the refrigerator.) Another issue is weather, if it’s cloudy I may be lucky to get 50WH from the panels. That means I need to have enough battery to power them for four nights. (Roughly 2000WH.) That works out to be a 100AH 24V battery bank which in my case it is 10 portable Deep cycle 12V 20AH batteries that are in padded cases with handles. (Only had a picture of four of the 16Lb batteries we bring with us when we travel for one night’s sleep.) I have a octopus cable to connect eight batteries to the UPS. We also have to bring a battery charger since the UPS will only replace ~16AH/Day using it’s internal charger if there’s power.
That’s a lot of hardware to be located in our bedroom along with our CPAPs.
Tomorrow: Saturday, it’s going to rain with some strong winds. (Good planning weather.)
