Good evening! Clear and 65 degrees in Westerlo. There is a northwest breeze at 7 mph. 🍃. The dew point is 48 degrees. With that low dew point, it’s a very pleasant evening for sure. Out at my parents house tonight, camping out back. Got the lights hooked up and a few of the flags.

Great weather for sleeping.

Continues to seem like it will be a nice weekend, especially on Saturday. Definately planning on heading up to the Piseco-Powley Road and paddling along Lily Lake. 🌼
I ordered a $10 inverter for my truck cap to power the light strings and the alike. I like the small inverters, as I can plug them directly into the truck cap rather than run an extension cord from the cab where the big inverter is located. There small don’t take much room and can be used anywhere. The led strings only use a few watts and I don’t care about the cleanliness of the power as the light strings don’t care with their simple bridge rectifiers. Maybe the flag light has a switching mode power supply with a transformer in it but again that doesn’t really care about the mains frequency or power quality. Cheap works for my purposes.
