Status: Sheltering in place, we have plenty of food and supplies. Our A/C unit has hiccupped with no permanent damage. The refrigerator freezer section also hiccupped ruining a few items. (I don’t yet know what happened, there was a lot of ice on everything.)
Plans:
- 07:00 Up for breakfast and Coffee

- 14:00 Writing in my blog again.
- 15:00 finished application for Social Security payments.
- 16:00 Dinner
- 17:00 Movie Time (Star Wars a new hope)
Narrative: I finally did it, I applied for Social Security benefits today!
As far as the solar panels go the latest option is to lay the panels over two 4×1 boards with a hinge in between them held up off the ground about 12 inches. (Needs to be 30 degrees or so.) Since it’s on the ground, the horse cannot co-exist with the panels.
If I can get the horse trailer into the front pasture, that’s a better option. (No construction and the panels are elevated and anchored.)
I’ve bought red Anderson SB50 connectors for the solar panels and Blue SB50 connectors for the golf cart battery connection. (Which may not be needed.) I may decide to put the SCC near the panel and push the 48V to the batteries over the long wires.
The boost SCC looks like it’s not very good over 150 watts, so two panels is about all it can handle. *Unless I’ve mistaken one of the settings.
If we’re using the 1×4″ boards the panels will have to be parallel. If were putting them on the horse trailer we can series two panels to reduce the losses.
Feelings: Demonstrations are looking more like unions fighting for as much as they can parlay this Floyd tragedy for.
Tomorrow: Church and a rainy day.
