Status: Sheltering in place, we have plenty of food and supplies.
Plans: Finish mom’s solar wiring and get it in the mail back to her.
Narrative: The latest design is to lay two “Gates” side by side and strap the panels to the top using zip ties or fencing wire. We need to support the top of the gates to about a height of 2 feet if we can.
Pretty much spent the whole day putting connectors on wires to charge mom’s golf cart using solar panels.
The sun is more than 200′ from the house so I’ve come up with wiring that allows them to put them up temporarily as they are needed. MC4 connectors are standard but difficult for most and impossible for an elderly person. I’ve changed the connectors out for Anderson SB50 (Standard Battery 50A) connectors with 100Ft sections of wire to run to the house. (can be extended to 400 feet)
This turned out to be quite a project, it took me all day to put connectors on all these wires.
This strike crimper turned out to be a life saver, a couple whacks from a hammer and the crimp is super solid.
Feelings: Atlanta police officer was charged with a long list of wrongdoing for shooting the man at the Wendy’s. It certainly feels like the BLM demonstrations have raised the bar on police use of force these days. We’ll have to see how this plays out in the courts.
Tomorrow: Groceries.
