COVID cases are still climbing up for Georgia. We’re headed toward the record high for the state we had back in January.
The good news is it seems the shots in January are working.
Narrative: Georgia can be rather humid and the garage feels it even worse because of the water that runs under the door. I put a dehumidifier in the garage which can easily maintain 55% humidity. The problem is that the bucket can get full in two days. The larger units have a pump that can vacate the water, but that would generate too much heat for our small garage. I bought a tiny pump the other day, and I do mean “Tiny” to put in the bottom of the dehumidifier bucket.
I was truly surprised at the amount of water that came out of this tiny pump. (It emptied the bucket in only 90 seconds.) In the end it serves to start a siphon as the water falls toward the driveway. I can run the pump for one minute and that will empty the bucket with the siphon finishing off the remainder. I tried vinyl tubing inside the dehumidifier, but it was too stiff inside the bucket chamber. Silicon tubing was a much better hose since it is considerably more flexible. I switched to vinyl tubing once outside the dehumidifier for durability on the garage floor. There is a small chance that the input to the pump will get clogged with debris, I’ll deal with that if it happens.
Our prescriptions were accidently sent to Pahrump. We’ve got a friend down the street that moved them out of the heat for us.
We’ve got to find, sort and give all the medical expenses to the tax guy on our next trip out to Pahrump. (The scanner will come in handy.) The estate currently owes $3000 in Federal Income taxes.
