[sodamo]

70° and .73 inches rain last 24 hours.

Back feeling MUCH better this morning.

Might mow, but not sure if wx will cooperate. A bit wet.

Prayers for all
Be safe
Have a great day

It’s 85 feels like 90, humidity is back in spades today.
Wife’s Edge Titanium wouldn’t start yesterday afternoon, I tested it and there was 7 volts, of course it turned on every light from ABS to check engine. We had picked up an order from TSC Sunday morning and the boy closed hatch by hand instead of pushing the button, or just letting me do it inside. Apparently it was on the safety catch and kept the interior lights on too long. I put the booster box on it and it fired right up, ran it a while, so far it starts like a new battery, hopefully that’s all it was.

I bought a pair of nice Snap On toolboxes Sunday for $300, over $1500 new, felt like I stole them. Haven’t got my tools in them yet, he forgot to give me the keys. Picking them up today.

My 8 year old baseball player is starting third grade today.

Good morning 64 going to 84, sunny
Got a lot done in prep for my sons 13th birthday party.
Split some wood to clean up view from the pool, weed wacking, setup pool area , grilled angus burgers and I made potato salad and the wife made a 4 layer cake.
All went great, clean up from party yesterday, we did not invite too many kids and they mostly stayed outside.

Still tired from clean up, set up and clean up.

Stay safe and be well

Which booster box do you have? Sounds like a good one.

Well I tried to create an avatar but being a real low tech redneck I'm not sure it worked. It's supposed to be a pic. of our only grand daughter, we have 6 grand sons and only one grand daughter so she gets a lot of attention but is still a really great kid in spite of it.
I was inspired by David (MFW).

Good morning! opps afternoon! 80˚F with 80%humidity this morning made the Fire Wise clean-up quite wet. We were all enjoying the Wet Bulb temp of 75˚F, because we were saturated with sweat. It was soooo wet my Apple Watch wet locked and gave me credit for an open water swim. The big question the weather lady on TV is asking will we have a Fall or a stall tomorrow with the cold front trying to make it South. Rain is predicted tomorrow during the park cedercide so it will be another wet morning tomorrow.

"Oh, I forgot to tell you...the keys are $1,200." :laughing:

Hey Randy, who are the baseball heroes of today's 8 year olds...I remember worshiping Mickey Mantle, Sandy Kofax, etc.

My BIL in Colorado said it was snowing like crazy, earliest since he moved there ten years ago.
76 and intermittent rain here on a very grey afternoon.

Thanks, those tomatoes are excellent, especially the grape ones. If I let the larger ones fully ripen on vine I tend to lose them to the competition, not that I’ve dprayed anything.

RNG, not sure why you don’t get battery SOC. Do you have anOutback Flex DC installed? While nit perfect for Lithiums still worthwhile. The FNDC should have been in the prewired load centers.

Great analogy, Ted

Friends in Canada were expecting frost last night and cleaning out their garden. Other friends in Wisconsin expecting frost this week.

80F mostly cloudy.

Got all the town run errands done was little surprise back pack blower $5.25 for spark plug but heck of lot better than raking.
When entering hall to vote notice some supporters just rude and they certainly did show social distancing.
TSC must be thinking were going to get a lot snow this year counted 15 new snow blowers by the main door,some models have $150-$200 increase.
Weill think I'll go and finish putting the back pack blower back together,little over 3 weeks away leaves will start to fall.
Not much plan for this evening other than deck time waiting for the wildlife and stars.

Enjoy your evening all.

The FNDCs (there are two of them) are installed, but they're not hooked up to the shunts. They're getting some info from the charge controller on the battery bank, but the nightly reports I requested from Optics only contain zeros for data. Optics reports power out of the array, into the loads, and drawn from the grid, so I've got a rough idea what's happening, but I'd rather have the shunt data, too. Hooking up the shunts is on the contractor's punch list, but with this first PSPS going on, they're busier than ever and I don't anticipate it happening anytime soon. They're not getting their final payment anytime soon, either...

Funny you should ask about that, Don.

I went shopping for another Battery Saver charger yesterday, and went to their website to see what they were making. While I was there, I learned that they also make a booster, and since I've had such good results from their charger, I decided to get one of those, too. The same 2365-LCD chargers I've been buying are still available, and Google Shopping sent me to JBTools.com for a substantial discount on both of them. FWIW, I ended up with the 5220 Jump Starter. Not cheap, but if it doesn't work when you need it, you didn't get much of a deal.

Glad to hear you have them, but surprised not hooked up. Can only use 1 FNDC per Mate/system. The FNDC will take data from 3 shunts. A - Inverters, B - Charge Controllers, C - Optional - is 1 configuration. Guessing they need to bring 2nd Inverter Neg to Shunt which can be tight.
Surprised the contractor didn’t just leave it in factory configuration, that way you’d be getting the battery SOC/Voltage, just missing the usage of the addition Inverter, maybe CC, but still good data. FNDC not perfect, but best we currently have available.

I think the contractor mentioned having issues with the FDNC on the other systems they've installed, and now just disconnect it/them. Something about causing too much confusion for their customers, and too many questions for them to answer...

It’s a Stanley, not sure of the model, but it has a work light and tire inflator as well as 12v lighter style plug. I love it.
