Bumping the hump day!
Tomorrow is the essential Friday, in the sense that the real Friday is going to be Juneteenth, a federal and state holiday, not that the current incumbent in the White House will acknowledge such things. I haven’t been to White House on the West Scandaga River in some years – I should go there in August and get some fresh wild blueberries.
Apple 🍏 pancakes this morning, moving a bit slow as it was kind of a late night as after the meeting at the Guilderland Town Hall, us Pine Bushers 🦋 went for a walk in the Pine Bush. I do need to get into the office fairly early, so I’m planning to shower shortly. 🚿
The truck cap looks good in the morning light, 🚛 I am a little annoyed by the slight blemish in the fiberglass on the roof – wish they had perfected the fiberglass with some bondo before the painted it, and a minor sratch but ultimately I am not sure it matters much as it it’s up on the roof and soon enough to be covered by solar panels. I was concerned the two solar panels wouldn’t fit as it seems like the track is a bit shorter then on my old rig, but the new, second solar panel is so much shorter that it will fit within the tracks, so if it has to underhang one of the racks, there will be a shadow at times, but the shadow is in direction of voltage path so no diode blocking, and still more then sufficient power between the two panels. And I’ll be careful not to break that tailgate cap, but if that happens in a few years, I can probably make something using a door sweep rubber.
Next week at this time, I’ll probably drive in 🏕️ and then leave work early to get bacon 🥓 and head up to camp. It is great to see things coming together after all this expense and little return. The truck without the camp was mostly an expensive lawn ornament, it didn’t actually provide me much value as I usually ride my bike to work and shopping. 🚵♂️ But with the cap, now I can finally get out of town and spend my weekends in the wilderness, especially once everything gets wired up this weekend. So much wiring to do, but I have the supplies I need now I think. 🤔
