Narrative: Bought a 48V Inverter and cable to connect to Nancy’s golf cart today. That should be able to run her refrigerator for a couple days.
What I don’t know is if the 12AWG wire will be too small for the startup current needed. The wire is 10Ft long which will allow the Inverter to be inside. Will have to try it. She may have to cut the wire down to 3 feet and put a bucket over the inverter.
Got up at 5:50 and clicked on the coffee, then checked in the with team at work.
InstaCart again delivered a box of groceries with 12 rolls of toilet paper this time. The website would not allow us to add toilet paper to our order. However, we asked the shopper if she would check the shelves which indeed had TP. She was able to add the TP to our order. (I had planned a trip to the store because we generally had access to TP with a 1 per customer limitation when shopping in person.)
It is funny how good we feel when we successfully purchase a package of toilet paper. I was feeling uneasy when we were getting down to where we had to open the only remaining package. Some weeks ago we were looking at four rolls left on the dryer where we “Store” them. There are immediate supplies of about three rolls under the sinks in both bathrooms.
I’ve been watching the number of cases in Georgia for weeks. To me, we’re not testing enough of our population to have a grasp on how many of us are infected day to day. Even if a business tested every person before they opened, any person in that business could get the virus from their community immediately after they were tested. Two weeks down the road they are contagious and everyone near them is vulnerable. Even though the infected person may show no symptoms. I’ve thought about this for over a while, even testing them as they arrive to work with a thermometer doesn’t clear them from giving the virus to their teammates or the customers who visit the establishment. Yuk!
