Status: Sheltering in place, we have plenty of food and supplies. We’ve installed a new Air Conditioner and there is a terrible amount of work to be accomplished. The highest priority is insulate the ducts against moisture and clean up the living room.
“If we wish to establish racial equality or gender equality, or equality in any social structure — acknowledge that we can’t pick and choose who gets to be a part of the equality equation. As a humanitarian, before any label that I associate with myself; I hope we recognize that we can only resolve our issues through respect and humility. Through recognizing that it’s not okay to simply “demand” respect whilst belittling an entire culture.” medium.com/in-defense-of-white-people

Training the Trane Thermostat: Our new Trane variable speed has an XL1050 thermostat, it is not as cool as I was told. The largest inconvenience is that the thermostat generates so much heat that it has to compensate for the actual room temperature. (Like 4 degrees) If you put a fan on it it will show four whole degrees lower than the room temp!
It is also very slow to respond to changing conditions. We were cooking and the room got 4 degrees warmer (Using a second thermometer) and the Trane thermostat showed set point temperature and didn’t change. I even tried a hair dryer and could not get it to change! If they are putting a computer into these thermostats then they aught to have a remote sensor that can be placed below so that the temp is not affected by the unit’s temp.
