Cold and dry or maybe cold and damp.\u00a0 But certainly cold.<\/p>\n
Cold all day yesterday but above freezing by mid morning.<\/p>\n
I spent the afternoon doing pickups that I was going to do today, so that I can go to my client’s house today instead.\u00a0 And I would really like to drop off a couple of bins, and pickup some stuff, but that auction house has pickups for yesterday’s auction and they’ll be busy.<\/p>\n
I’ll also try to get my expired ID exchanged for current for the Citizens Police Academy Alumni Association today.\u00a0\u00a0 The training officer will be close to somewhere I will be driving by, and is willing to make the exchange.<\/p>\n
It will be a busy couple of days today and tomorrow.<\/p>\n
On my way home yesterday I stopped in the Goodwill Outlet.\u00a0 In the weird items category, I grabbed two new sealed tubs of Cascade dishwashing pods.\u00a0 These are the very same ones I buy normally.\u00a0 At ~$3 each, that was a pretty good deal compared to $19 each in the store.\u00a0 I grabbed a dozen DVDs for me, and a dozen name brand ladies’ purses for the auction with the money I saved.\u00a0 I should make good money on the purses, they’ve been selling really well.<\/p>\n
The batteries I picked up will add to my future solar bank.\u00a0 I now have 4 or 5 identical 65AH batteries, 3 or 4 identical 55AH batteries, and a mix of others mostly car or truck batteries.\u00a0 I’ve got a 100w panel, and 70 panels at 10w.\u00a0 I’ve got a couple of big inverters.\u00a0 Still need charge controllers though, as the one that I have is NFG.\u00a0 Once I have all the pieces, I’ll start on cobbling some sort of system together.\u00a0 Or maybe 2 or 3 systems right next to each other.\u00a0 Future project though.<\/p>\n
If CWII breaks out and the Monkey Wrench Gang goes to work, solar and supplemental energy will be really important.\u00a0 And if not, it will be an interesting project that I can use to run the air conditioner in my garage.<\/p>\n
Cisterns for water, local solar and batteries, these are current tech and part of everyday life in places like Cancun Mexico.\u00a0 I think we might see them here too, and too soon.\u00a0 So I’ll keep stacking the stuff to make that work.<\/p>\n
Keep stacking the stuff you think you’ll need.<\/p>\n
