Narrative: I have paralleled three of the four 35AH battery banks to run the secondary UPS circuit of about 350 watts. 105AH @ 48V should keep 350W running for at least 12 hours. The refrigerator has 70AH @ 24V which should be about the same running time.

White Fragility: Suspended my FB account this morning, we are very tired of the violence and hatred on FB. We have also suspended Kathy’s FB account and will move to Instagram to see our grandkids photos. We noticed for the first time in over 10 years that the majority of our parishioners are black and they appear to be looking at us as white privileged possibly racist.

Feelings: We are scrambling to learn how to communicate with our parishioners of color.

Tomorrow: Instacart in the morning and Chili’s in the afternoon.
