My rated battery capacity is 45.6 kw
My daily usage tends to be in high 20s.
My overnight runs about 40% of my high point state of charge, ie if 100%, about 60% when I check in morning. When sun is good what doesn’t go to charge actually provides direct power. In winter, days are shorter for charging, in summer that 40% drops to 30%.
I don’t run lower than 25% although warranty suggests 20% and technically they could run to 0.

Our power bill was 60 dollars last month. Maybe solar is not in our future

This was the Garden City Skyway on the 15th. I guess the driver doesn't understand the concept of 'skidding wheels lead'.

-2 F this morning. I'm going to get the walk behind snowblower going later to clear the 2 foot drift in front of the barn door. We had snow and westerly 40mph winds, so there are drifts on the east side of buildings and bare spots elsewhere. Firewood stacks are snowed in too.

Frits an English is third language, behind native tongue and some other language.

Mostly, growing up in Europe it is normal to learn to speak multiple languages. I was more into German when we moved to the LA area. But learned quickly from TV commercials however some of the expressions were not well received in the office. But corrections were made as needed and people were very helpful. Cal Worthington Dodge commercials were the thing in that time period. He had live Zoo animals in his LA car commercials.

The garlic festival in Gilroy California may happen again later next year. I remember driving into the area and you could smell the garlic several miles away from Gilroy. The gas turbine based plant we built there was to repower a garlic processing facility. Never saw so much garlic stacked over 50 ft high in barrels

Morning, off to Philly for another of son's girlfriends concerts.

Was able to get in touch with a CB exec in Operations and they opened an investigation into why this got so messed up. I still know some people high up there.

Buppies - feel better
PJS - glad the job is going well

Got some more panel bits up and last of the nail ground out, most panels after this are complex cuts until I get to back wall. Have vents, pipes, conduit to outside lights to contend with. And a teensey I-Beam
