7 July 2020, a day in progress

Status: Sheltering in place, we have plenty of food and supplies. We replenished our liquor cabinet yesterday. The odds of someone in Kroger with an active case of the virus is roughly 50%. Overcast day, I need to block the switchover to solar power.

Plans: Need to start working on our Taxes and finishing up projects on the homestead power.

  • 12:00 Lunch and Insta cart.
  • 13:00 We got TWO cartons of eggs for the first time today!

  • 15:00 Wasting time reading the news.
  • 16:00 Checking Kickstarter event.

Narrative: Spent a good part of the day wiring four 18AH batteries for a 12V UPS (Top Right on picture below) and powered up five 24V UPS units to reform their capacitors.

White Fragility: A student got expelled from school because she produced a video that described the published results from White-White, Black-Black and White-Black homicides. OK it was a little dramatic. However, with all the hate speeches promoting BLM being allowed, what happened to free speech when it opposes BLM?

Feelings: We are wore out trying to understand all the political parties that are aligned with BLM as a slogan. BLM is a scary organization….
