18 Nov 2020, a day in progress

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.

Looks like the Church audio equipment is staying in the living room, we have another outdoor service in three weeks.

I weighed in at 217 today, that’s two Lbs over my maximum weight. I will reduce my calories in hopes to drop to 215 this week. 190 would be a great goal.

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 coasted most of yesterday, the humidity is between 40 and 50. I changed the humidity setting on the dehumidifier to 55 and provided power until the fan stopped running that dries out the coils. If the NodeMCU turns on the power it should sit idle.

Tore the NodeMCU for the dehumidifier apart and added dual heating in case I get behind on the duct work I can supply a little heat to make it comfortable. There are two extension cords on the NodeMCU for the heaters, one for low heat 200W and one for a little higher 500W. It also has the capacity to run them both in parallel. Both heaters are disabled if the dehumidifier is running.


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.

Researched Philippines Typhoons last month, they took a huge toll on the island. I am not going to get much headway with CF this month.
