Good Morning!!!! 66F @ 5:15AM. Plentiful sunshine. High 88F. Winds light and variable.
Was it the nailers or the nails, Ron? The nails I've been getting at HD seem to work fine, but as often as HF changes suppliers and designs, anything could happen.:confused2:
Power came back on sometime around 1PM yesterday and the Red Flag Warning petered out at 5. Now there's a Fire Watch Warning starting Wednesday, running into Friday, for the strongest offshore winds since 2017. Low humidity, too. Looks like the generator is gonna get an even longer workout.:confused3:
Before I shut the generator off yesterday, I used the volt amp meter on it to make some measurements, and also learned that it doesn't put out enough juice to start the A/C or either of the air compressors. And with both well pumps running, it's at about two-thirds of capacity.
It did get windy here, enough to shift the new cover on the fire truck enough that it needs straightening out again. Need to find a better way of strapping it down.
The rest of the day was spent documenting which wire goes where on the Engine Management Unit on the van. There are almost a hundred pins on the computer, and a bit more than half of them have wires attached. I downloaded what looks like an official Subaru shop manual that tells what a wire should have on it and what it's supposed to be hooked up to, but when I compare that to what's actually there, I find wires where there shouldn't be any and no wires where they're needed. That's partly because the EMU is talking to a VW instead of a Subaru, but I think there are a few mistakes as well. More digging is on the agenda for today.
First, though, I need to find another electrician, so that's number one on the job list.
Hope everyone's week gets off to a great start!
