I woke up to a dead isp, rebooting the modem did not work, it came back after 15 min.

Good for the battery being warmer. But like you it likes a certain temperature range. Outside of that and range drops off.

The miles went as low as 43, now it's 56, better tires and that could double.

Above 90F and below I think 44F, shore power conserves the 18.4kW battery.

EPA battery range was 82 miles with Bridgestone EP150 tires that have been discontinued, I wish I had 4 195/55R15 LRR Firestone Champion Fuel Fighter tires or 4 Kumho Solus TA31 tires.

I need to buy 2 15"x6" front rims to replace the rear 15"x6.5" rims cause the 6.5" rims won't fit up front since they are too wide.

@ Carlos, whales live in that thing near you that's rising, it's called an Ocean.

We don't have ships of the Desert here, not living ones at least.

Winning on a cool Thorsday while enjoying a coffee.

It's 11C here ATM with 27C to be expected.

In around an hour I'll head outside to water the veggies before I drag the big vac upstairs and mop these floors before LLB time gets here.

Cheers.

All is dark and all has gone quiet... And I've had too long a day...


Time for escape to beers!

Haha.

Yeah and there is the Sarlac Pitt somewhere...

Firestone's Champion Fuel Fighter tires for my car are discontinued, sucks.

6.2kWh a mile would have been nice.

We're now at a steamy 26C here and thanks to the SE wind it feels more like a comfortable 24C.

Anyhow I've finally caught up with my long neglected domestic duties. :-)

Sadly that means that I'm back to jungle taming. :-(

But I'm going to have tomorrow off first.

Cheers.

Under a chilly grey sky, lots to do, and time is short...

At least the IT is working well... So far...

Winning early on a P.O.E.T.S. Day morning.

Cheers.

The end of Day #1 ... And...

Well, I've not been poisoned yet!

And so far, I've been pleasantly surprised by first impressions of progress having been made. Almost hopefully so.

There's still a lot of vagueness about keeping to the required parameters colloquially called "The Numbers", and the primary measurement/monitoring kit got broken by bad handling... But... There's some positivity in the group to do better... Wow!

First thing in the morning is to scramble to get another measurement kit, plus a spare, sent over here... Unfortunately, I'm going to have to hang around to bolt it in and test...

And oh... We're down to just the one of the roads still closed over here. Things are still big puddles soggy!

All good fun!

Well I finally got my unit clean and back together again and I've had it now.

I've got another butternut weigh in to do as well as another harvest tomorrow and I may even get back to taming some edges around the backyard again.

Anyhow I better get myself off to bed to get ready for a supposedly damp weekend.

Cheers.

Day #2 and...

Now I'm here, they've all given up! They're hoping/expecting me to work everything!!...

Well...

(They can lazily dream...)

It's a beautiful day in the neighborhood and TGIF.
It's only 47f now but the sun is already shining with very few clouds. We expect a high of 65f with light winds. Guess what I am doing this afternoon? (There be Whales here.)

This area used to be part of the ocean floor, so there be ghost whales about, somewhere.

Here we even have a giant Elephant, of course the tusks are missing.

Of course I have 3 of what the ancient Egyptians would call Cat Gawds, I am protected...

Winning on a Saturday morning in the highlands as an easterly gale blows.

Cheers.

Yep, a:

I can bet that my Dog will be on her verandah right now waiting for the rising sunshine to hit her, as she usually does each morning.

That's unless she's decided like me to stay out of the cold easterly gale that's blowing here still as the day got off to a 15C (felt like 11C) start here with just 22C being expected.

Anyhow it's time for a 2nd coffee here.

Cheers.

My 1st Solar part, it's a pair of 2' solar panel extension cables.
