18 Dec 2020, 7 Swans Swimming

Status: Sheltering in place, we have plenty of food and supplies.

This is about all I have left of my parents.

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.


I weighed in at 222 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 December, I should get it AFTER January 2021. Boo!


The COVID numbers have gotten really high from Thanksgiving, in fact they are the highest I’ve ever seen them.


Narrative: I’m skipping the time bullets today. The heater is working 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)

The heat pump kept up with the demand all evening, I am certain there is a crossover point where we are providing most of the heat by running the compressor. That point appears to be below 30 degrees, our previous unit would go to Emerg Heat at 35 because it was hard coded in the thermostat. I could not find that setting in our current unit so i don’t know how it knows to switch over to gas. (Or if it will.)


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, I checked the Internet and they were pretty bad off. Homes and crops were destroyed and thousands are displaced without enough food or water.

I sent a message to CF asking about our letters we’re missing, they’ve not responded.
