Good Morning
73° 99% RH outside now. Sunny and high of 85 forecast for today.
Squall line blew through yesterday evening, left us 3/4ā of rain, but no damage.
Didnāt accomplish much yesterday, ran an Ethernet cable for the access point for the shed to replace the temporary one I used to verify that it would work. In the process, I discovered that the shed was 93° inside, the cheap Amazon mini split was on vacation. Iām hoping that when I look at it today, I find a leak in one of the connections that I made, and it just lost charge. Thatās a much easier fix than an issue with the equipment itself.
My plan is to recover and weigh the charge that is in it and then pressurize it with Nitrogen and check everywhere for leaks. I did that when I installed it, Iām still hopeful that a flare cracked or some other easy fix presents it self.
Iāve also got to go to Battery Warehouse and get a couple of 12v SLA batteries for the UPSā that power my network infrastructure. Iāve got an ONT, router, 3 switches and 6 access points. The plan is that the network stays alive for the time it takes the generator to start and switch over. It used to work that way, but yesterday when the power went out so did the network.
But all that is going to have to wait until after the TSA completes their inspection this morning. Just another federal agency whose oversight I have to deal with. The regulatory oversight is the one thing that I will not miss at all when I really retire.
