Xander/Giles ,'Never Leave Me'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Sheryl, I hope you are able to work together on a good strategy going forward. ~ma for strength and energy for you and Gary.
I need to get some kind of space heaters that I can run without popping my breakers. Not sure if charging my car is contributing to the overload but I've popped the main 3 times in the past couple weeks. Including this morning. My car should have been completely charged but I had 4 heaters running, each on different circuits, but apparently too much overall.
If you don't have upgraded electrical then yes, the electric car can put a big strain on the system. At full draw they can pull close to 15A on a standard 110 circuit. We had a 220 service installed in our garage so that we could have a Level 2 charge station for the Bolt.
And the bad news keeps trickling as I find out who from other departments got laid off. A lot of people I like, and an awful lot that I have been working with directly and now don't necessarily know who to go to with questions. So that's just delightful.
Being at work makes my stomach hurt this week. My inner Chidi is emerging, I guess.
On the plus side, I made "mac and cheese" by melting butter and shredded cheddar into the last of rotini and that hit the spot.
Most things are better after mac and cheese. Sorry about the work badness.
ND, I do have the regular 220 RV port installed for the car, but I still have to bump it down to 5 or 10 Amps so I don't pop breakers. Mostly I don't car if it charges all night so I turn it down.
It rained and thunder stormed all night long. The tent leaked a little but mostly under me not on me, so it went under the sleeping pad and I didn't feel it. So that was ok. Finally stopped around 6am and I was able to get up and go to the bathroom and such, and then drove back to the lake to take dawn photos—wish I'd been about 15 min earlier but still think I got some good ones. Taking the slow route back to Portland today rather than staying another night since there's supposed to be more thunderstorms this afternoon
That sounds so nice, meara. I am weirdly nostalgic for sleeping in a mildly leaky tent while it rains. Haven't done it in a long time. I'm sure I would get over it pretty quick, but it sounds so pleasant right now!
Nice, meara! I haven't been camping in a while, although the place in Otter Lake could be described as roughing it.
Timelies all!
Mr. S woke up at 4 am wanting to sleep with us. Which of course means we did not sleep well for the rest of the night. We started the meds this morning, and we have a meeting with the principal(and Miss Annette from the PEP program) tomorrow.
Best of luck, Sheryl!
