Good morning blogosphere! It’s a glorious day out here in Texas! The sun is shining! It was warm at 6:30 a.m.! Life on the beach is great!
(No, I have no been dipping into my secret daiquiri stash this morning. Why do you ask?)
Not that you asked for it, but here is a battery status report. I’ve been full up since the weekend. These are the kinds of readings I’ve been going to bed to for several nights now, and this is after charging computers all day, running the whole house inverter to vacuum, leaving a couple of LED lights on all evening, etc.
voltage at 12.63
0.3 amps going out for the fridge and other systems like the propane detector
down 1.5 AH from 144 available to me
99.5% battery capacity
When when I need to charge the computer after dark, I usually see the voltage fall to about 12.3 when the computer is unplugged, but then the batteries rest overnight and I get right back up to 12.5 or more in the morning, matching my battery capacity readings.
We haven’t even had full sun all week, either. Lots of white wispy clouds.
I went to bed very early last night, so I was out walking the beach very early this morning:
I’m thinking a structure like this could be good for my property in case I ever have to leave the rig there in the winter (not with me in it!). I could wrap the sides in heavy plastic for further protection from the elements.
Another style.
I was excited to see cacti in the Okanagan, but these are much cooler!
Lots o’ spikes.
Ouch!
Warren Schmidt’s RV!
Another RV shelter.
Love this, but a bit too rich for my blood!
More cacti.
The most bizarre structure on the beach.
There are boxes in the cubes. L says these folks come here once a year for a few weeks and add on to the place. I checked Google Maps and the last time the Google car was around here, the place was just a platform, no boxes on it. The big question is: what’s with the yellow cube?
