Status: Hunkered down practicing Social Distancing.
Plans: Get organized.
Narrative: Walking through everything we do to mitigate the virus threat just wears me out. I’m ready for a nap after two hours of deciding how we’re going to bring in groceries and sanitize the stream of germs. We’ve even decided to stage our mail (Including Amazon) in the car for 24 hours so that any virus contamination can dissipate.
I went to Lowes this morning after trying to purchase some CAT-6 Network wire for the cameras for two days. It wasn’t very crowded and I exited the store from the garden center. I’m leaving the wire and the lawn fertilizer in the car until tomorrow. (Again staging it.)
My second tier of power in the homestead is for the TV.
Local information during a storm on a regular TV antenna is pretty valuable during the event. I had run a remote switch that powers the TV from a separate set of batteries only when needed. (So not to deplete them unnecessarily.) During the two years since I constructed this arrangement, lightning destroyed the Inverter’s ability to be remotely controlled. We often get struck by lightning, but I was surprised it took out both of them using a piece of wire with no connection. (Just a switch between the two wires.) I’ve left the Inverter remote control disconnected until I could build an isolated relay to protect the two inverters.
Tomorrow: No large Sunday service, service is recorded and we’ll take communion here at the homestead.
