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. I have to run a new duct to the living room and bedroom to give the air handler more flow. There’s a 8″ and a 10″ trunk which is 600CFM, we need one more 8″ duct from the plenum to make 800CFM.
Need to sort the church audio stuff and get it back into storage. (out of the living room and Bedroom) Then get the stuff I moved from my cave out of the living room.
My EcoFlow R600 Pro won’t be shipped until the end of the month, I should get it around Christmas.
Tell me, how many nights have you almost missed the sunset? How many arguments have you almost won? How many mistakes have you almost made? How many cities have you almost flown to? How many snapshots have you almost taken?
Chances are, you don’t remember. No-one does

Narrative: I’m skipping the time bullets today. We got up and are drinking our Dominican Coffee this morning, it’s delicious! Slept pretty good, the outside temperatures are very moderate at 65 degrees. The dehumidifier runs a lot but the air conditioner is idle for the most part.
We watched Biden & Harris give their speeches last night. Harris sure made a point of being a women of color elected as Vice President. (Some of us are expecting upward mobility with this aging President.) The country seems delighted to have voted Mr. Trump out of a second term, which doesn’t happen very often.
It is going to be very interesting what BLM does with the new leadership. I think the American people are changing their prospective on the violence and becoming intolerant. BLM had white privileged American’s on the run most of this year, I think that is changing. I think BIPOC Americans are also voicing their concerns over Systemic Racism diluting the singularity of the BLM message. (That they care only about the Black men are being abused by the police.)
Well, time to prepare for Zoom church service this morning. We’ve eaten breakfast and taken a nice hot shower already. People in South America take cool showers as they don’t usually have hot water. It is too funny having both faucets in the sink and only one of them works…
Checked on my R600 Pro (Solar Generator), looks like it won’t ship for two more weeks. Boo! A Hurricane is headed for my mom in Florida next week.
Dinner was chicken legs and whole kernel corn.
I worked on my traveling inverter labeling the wires and flipping the connectors so that they can’t be inadvertently connected incorrectly. (Keyed) The idea is that someone in our family looses power and we can bring this box to provide power for a short duration. If a longer duration is required then I bring a generator and gasoline to charge the batteries the following day.
