Status: Home bound for two weeks. Need to take company property to Dobbins this week.
Plans: Coordinate the best time to drop off the company property.
Narrative: Had to make a few changes in plans today due to the speed of which this virus is spreading and the Governments trying to contain it.
It’s raining today, actually I think it is going rain all week. (Might put out some weed and feed. (If I have it.) It’s also a good day to get in the attic and check things out. (It will be cool and I can look for leaks while I rewire the cameras.)
I’ve worked some on my IOT (Internet of Things) while I am home bound. A friend of mine got my Raspberry Pi setup with the Home Assistant software.

I have setup dedicated Wireless for it and attached three “NodeMCU” modules yesterday. I’ve played with the three NodeMCU’s most of the day. I spent almost all evening fighting with a sensor that is clearly not what it is supposed to be. (Someone on Amazon substituted a cheaper version.) All in all it was a good day to be inside while it rained outside.
I emptied the 5 Gal gas can into the five generators and the two one gallon cans. I’ll get the 5 gallon can refilled with non ethanol gas to reduce the acid in the carburetors.
Had Pizza for dinner tonight and worked on the NodeMCU integration while the wife watched TV tonight. I had to get some of the hurtles behind me so I can start making plans how to use these devices that are a lot like lemmings, they cannot do a lot by themselves but are easy to connect together.
The DC systems in this house have a lot of tentacles, having these NodeMCU’s will make it possible to manage them as a team. Hopefully they can make decisions on maintain power to critical devices their own if need be. Another benefit from them being wireless is that they can float on the battery powered systems they are controlling.
I did log onto my company website and download my pay stubs for last year. I lost the pay stubs for 2017 due to a hard drive failure.
