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 dining room and do a bit of insulating on the ductwork over the living room.
Looks like the Church audio equipment is staying in the living room, we have another outdoor service in three weeks.
I weighed in at 220 today, that’s five 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.
Karen AMI:So white people who celebrate the success of black lives demonstrates the inequity of the black experience and white people who don’t celebrate success of black lives also demonstrate the inequity? I am just trying to keep up here. And I must be a Karen because I don’t see race, I see PEOPLE, fellow human beings instead of a color. You don’t have to attack me, I know, that Not seeing color makes me a racist. And seeing color first makes me a racist too. I know. I am the problem. For sure. It’s a tough gig.

Narrative: I’m skipping the time bullets today. The heater worked pretty well with the majority of the ducts connected back. I used the NodeMCU network to record some data on the performance of the ducts I’ve already installed. (Not Many) There’s one 7″ vent and two 6″ vents, that’s it for almost two weeks of work. It’s hard to work in the attic when you are 66, believe me!
I pulled the 10″ and 6″ flexible duct boxes out of the attic and laid them out on the driveway this morning. Then we spent the next hour pulling the 25 feet of 6″ R8 flexible duct inside of the 10″ R8 flexible duct insulation so it wouldn’t loose as much heat. This piece will be used for the two ducts into the small bedrooms. I need one small piece of 6″ so that I can cut-in the vent into the guest bathroom. The longer run over the sewing room will be done first, then the duct into the TV room.
It’s too wet outside to cut hard duct insulation to go around our 8″ duct that runs to the master bedroom. It has to be almost 20 feet long. I decided to try and lay the insulation over the duct which should trap the heat under it.
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 watched several videos, 3-5 feet of water leaving 3-5″ of mud on everything inside their homes and on the streets. This will take a long time to clean up.
