20 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!

Went into the attic to pull the pipe off the bedroom vent. It took an hour or so to pull the insulation back and pull the pipe off the register. There was quite a bit of material in the pipe. Since the other ducts are much cleaner than this one, I’m inclined to assume that the fan I used to have pushed unfiltered air back into the duct.

It got too warm to stay in the attic so I closed up, ate some lunch and wend down for a long nap. I did a bit of research with all the data from the new air conditioner. It turns out that the compressor can run for very short cycles. That can be problematic for metal ductwork that is in unconditioned spaces. The air must overcome the mass that is at a much different temperature than the air flowing through it.

The flexible ductwork had a much different response.


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.
