While it is possible to convert electricity into other forms of energy like chemical or physical energy, your not actually storing electricity – your storing another form of energy that can be converted back to electricity.
Capacitors do store small amounts of electricity temporarily but inductors actually convert electricity to magnetism temporarily so they don’t count. So some of the rules of electricity don’t always apply.
There was some sunshine early but already the clouds and haze are pushing in. I should bring my rain coat just to be safe though I doubt there will be much rain today.
Made some adjustments to the bike and bled the brakes off on Sunday so I should be ready to ride in. I don’t have any audio books left to read, but maybe I’ll find one to listen to on way in or maybe catch up on the Homesteady YouTube. I am sure traffic will be back for the morning commute.
Carrot pancakes this morning, they were a bit gloppier then I would have hoped as I kind of forgot the carrots until the last minute and then added water to compensate, so they didn’t cook well. It’s fine, still a lot of good fiber to start out the week, stopped off wet lots of frozen blueberries.
It was nice sleeping with the windows open again, slept really soundly but it was cold by morning, had to turn on the electric blanket and I didn’t want to get out of bed. But I like hearing the birds and I find the only way to get a good night’s sleep is with the windows open. Hopefully soon it will warm up again. And things will get a lot greener.
No time spent with the White Rabbit smoking as I’m hiking this evening at Keheler Preserve and you know there is a ton of cops on the road looking for stoned drivers on this double holiday. It was nice to see the family on this Easter and now I’m out for a little walk in the woods.
Truth is that I haven’t smoked any weed or tobacco since King’s Day Weekend and until my parents 50th Anniversary Party I hadn’t any alcohol. I figure such things are best enjoyed in the wilderness. This next weekend I really want to get out of town, but where to depends on the weather and work. I really need a good night in the wilderness. That said, sleeping last night with the windows open was great and I slept soundly even if it was cold.
Keheler Preserve is a bit out of the way home but I like my walk after time with the family and a big dinner. I’ve gotten away from limiting portions and I’ve gotten a bit heavier though not that much as except at social occasions I eat basic, healthy ingredients. No Easter basket for me. My parents offered but I’m 42. Mom did make me a bunny cake. Lately I’ve noticed that I’m putting on some weight again – I think it’s bigger portions, not so much always cutting back plus all those social and work things. Still I savor those mama cooked meals as many may not be left. Mom is 75 and nearly a decade passed since she was hospitalized for months after her quadrable bypass. Really it’s borrowed time, it’s amazing Mom and Dad made it to 50 years together.
It’s good to enjoy time with the family and enjoy what they cook as I know those days aren’t long. Time lasts forever and then it’s gone. I often look around their homestead and wonder if inherit it how I could make it mine, improving the forest, bringing in goats and pigs, growing cannabis and other plants, adding solar, camping and having fires down by the creek most of the summer. With the burn ban and neighbors nearby I’d have to careful about how much plastic trash I burnt up though. Still I want more land where I don’t have to worry about the smoke and fully off grid in a state with good gun laws.
I like the drive to Keheler because it takes me through a bit of the hill towns and I can see some of the farms and the homesteads. I do like the hill towns of Albany County, they are special to me having grown up there though in my travels they’re not that unique as there are many hick towns and hills and hollows across America . It’s fun to drive on dirt roads a bit and the windy roads of the hill towns in my big jacked up truck. The hill towns and even my parents 5 acre grid tied homestead are great but I know there are bigger, wilder places out there.
I was going to go out to Partridge Run today, just for a drive but this morning was so cold with that wind roaring incredibly hard. It’s still roaring this evening but it’s moderated a bit. Cold but clear at Keheler Preserve. Truth is driving the countryside ain’t as much fun since the burn ban, back when you could see the flicker of burn barrel flames and smell the burnt plastic at many a farm and homestead. Don’t get me wrong, I love seeing the mountains and the hills, the rural homesteads with all the junk, farm implements and livestock but it’s not the same as it was. Kind of like why I like being in Pennsylvania so much though now they’ve raised the price of campgrounds there outside of back country camping in the National Forest. Plus I keep trying to save every buck I can for owning my own land. I know gas is inexpensive and $20 in fuel ain’t going to determine if I live the rest of my life in the city, still I get the value of compounding.
Tomorrow it’s off to work again. Five day week but if I can I’ll try to take Friday off to get out of town for a long weekend. Those days go by quickly. Some nights in the wilderness would be so nice. At least it’s greening up a lot in Delmar after the rain showers and temperatures in the upper seventies yesterday. And the bike ride to and from work helps keep my sanity. Things are better now and will continue to hurt et better in the future even if there are setbacks now.
I really do like the look of those hills and woods more generally out in the hill towns around dusk!
