14 April 2020, A day in Progress

Status: Sheltering in place, we have plenty of food and supplies.

Plans: Work, Walk around the block and put the groceries away from InstaCart.

Narrative: Woke up with the alarm at 5:50 and started the coffee while I checked in with work.

We walked around the block while our InstaCart shopper picked up our groceries from Kroger. When we created the cart on Sunday it was $50, by the time he started shopping it was over $100. A woman shopper apparently deferred to a man shopper because of the size. It is a huge benefit for us so that we can avoid the virus during the peak of the risk. We gave him a $30 tip for his trouble. He put all the groceries on the porch in such a way that we could open the door. Good Job.

It is such a pretty day I mowed the front lawn and ran generator #3 at full load for almost two hours. I put a fan on the engine after I’ve cut off the fuel supply to cool the generator.

Took a shower and a nap before grabbing my next project. I bought a 24V power supply that had enough Umph to power a 300W inverter. It needed a power cable and DC wires installed so that I could add it to the house wiring. I am not happy about the mount though, it would have been nice to have ears or other attaching hardware.

The heater is a dummy load for the Inverter.
