Day 36 -

Not optimal weather for the pool but the temperature is fine. More sunshine would be nice. Not much going on today. I refilled another 30# propane tank and picked up some sweet bread at a Mexican bakery. Delicious. I had stopped to look for some locally made tamales but they didn’t carry them. I finished off the converter installation by replacing the sheet metal screws with machine screws and locknuts. And, since the unit is mounted on the metal chassis, a separate ground wire seemed to be redundant.

BTW, even with all the cloud cover, the solar was adequate to bring the batteries back up to 100% by the end of the day. This surprised me. I’m looking into picking up some panels from a vendor who was at Quartzsite.
