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. All the hardware is on order, I’ll get started when it gets here.
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.
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 and 44 at night. The dehumidifier runs a lot but the air conditioner is idle for the most part.
Sometimes we happen upon a really cool feature of our home electronics. Our new 10K$ A/C unit came with an online application called Nexia and I just found out that it integrates with Home Assistant (NodeMCU). I can now graph the run percentages of the compressor and whether it is heating or cooling! I also get temp and humidity readings from the thermostat graphed as well.
Feelings: As Christians we are compelled to look after the Widows and the poor. Just how we do that in this climate when there is so much energy fighting the democracy I don’t know.
What I am really struggling with is mem of color using the momentum of BLM to push/break rules normally obeyed by Americans as part of our society. We’ve gotten to the edge of wearing masks, most people are no longer raising their fist against them. I went in to THD today and two men not wearing masks walked into the store, waited in line and were serviced at the customer service counter WITHOUT the required masks. I had to think of that for a while, I surely would have been approached by the store to put on my mask? With the current political environment I assume that no one wanted BLM protests on the front of THD for asking a Black man to wear a mask. So now we are migrating into a culture of there is no negotiation, the only solution is to submit to Black’s person’s will and keep your mouth shut.
