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.
Project Engineering: Layout new ductwork.
My EcoFlow R600 Pro won’t be shipped until 15 January 2021, I should get it in February 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)
Strange day today, we’re having groceries delivered later and I have to make a run to the liquor store for some drinkables. Made my usual 4 eggs for breakfast and then worked on a cable so that I could control the attic fans from the garage NodeMCU. The cable simply breaks one side of the pair of wires with a connector that connects to the NodeMCU relay. I ran up all three fans and checked the airflow into the eve vents using a ladder and a sliver of tissue paper. The result was that the wind had more to do with the airflow than the three fans did.
The wife went to the eye doctor and I went to the liquor store with the blue Ford Focus that hadn’t been driven in a while. No issue with getting the suds and I returned home since it’s just plain dangerous to be out in this raised risk of COVID. Family wants me to visit the Doc about my foot and I totally blew my opportunity to put off the appointment with the intestines’ doctor. I need to call them on Christmas Eve and cancel the appointment for Monday.
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. According to CNNCF they anticipate being back to normal by Jan 2021, WOW!
I sent a message to CF asking about our letters we’re missing, they’ve not responded.
