Narrative: I’ve tested and exercised the four new batteries for the primary UPS but I didn’t have a battery management device for them. There are three battery management devices on the secondary banks of batteries. This morning I paralleled two of the banks onto one battery management to move it to the new battery bank. Each of these three 48V battery banks have 11 fuses in the string between the batteries and devices to protect them.
White Fragility: I am finding it quite difficult to navigate the current state of things being a retired white male. (What I say comes from a position of “White Privilege” and is not received well by the people of color.) Worse, the Anger and Hate in the news puts a conversation into a shouting match rather than a negotiation since I have no influence on the current situation. (I am just supposed to agree with the mainstream agenda.) Those I talk to are quite unwilling to discuss anything that would diminish their continuing to keep up the momentum of BLM.
Feelings: I am exhausted and emotionally drained.
Tomorrow: Church, we are not enthused about meeting everyone.
