Good evening! Happy weekend. Survived a long and crazy 😜 week at work but made it home by six today, although I had to sprint to get the bus. 🚍 Partly clear and 63 degrees in Delmar, NY. There is a west breeze at 9 mph. 🍃 The dew point is 47 degrees.

Already started working on the big wiring project for the weekend. I’m running the line from the second accessory battery to the proper side of the low voltage disconnect, ⚡ going to clean up some of the wiring in the cab of the truck including installing a proper fuse an always on charger for charging my flashlight and USB battery bank, and power for my solar panel amp gauge. 🔌 Also going to make up slightly larger and long leads on the output of the solar controller to reduce losses there, tidy up wiring and lastly, install the shunt for monitoring the output of the panel. I already dug out the tools and supplies I need but I think I’ll still need to visit Advance Auto for a fuse and maybe a new fuse holder and maybe some more of the larger butt connectors and conduit.
