Finally significant progress on my water system leak.. confirmed the second storage tank is not leaking at all.

Hilariously, I had removed that from the system in the fall after I erronously thought it was leaking. Now I think that the system was leaking more with it connected than not because it kept the water pressure higher and the leak is definitely faster with more water pressure.

Facing record snowfall here, about 50% chance of a foot or more, 15 inches is a possibility. Might be needing to hike to the road for a couple of weeks since it will take a long time to melt.

Anyway, this stuck out to me in the forecast: "Regarding totals and precip types, it is worth noting that PWAT values for this event are well above climatological averages. That's significant since it's more likely to see unseasonably high PWATs in warm, heavy rain events versus cold winter weather events." -- NWS

scrolling through #gitAnnex backlog that I have not had time to look at yet. 375 messages going back a long while.

Always feel bad about not getting to everything, but I do eventually get to most things.

Anyway, it's really nice that I actually have funding for some hours each month to try to keep up with all the messages, and sometimes even dig into the backlog, sponsored by the INM-7 at Forschungszentrum Jülich.

for the 1st time ever in 31 years using the web, today I had to use touchpad and touchscreen at the same time in order to get around a stupid popup on a website

(some google login thing, its close button was hidden under the site's header, so scroll up made the X visible and then I had to hit it with the other hand on the touchscreen before it snapped back down)

today: programmer/baker/plumber

happy add Y to the end of file day to all who celebrate #plaintextaccounting

Happy spring I guess

Here's how my upgraded #offgrid solar has done in the lean month leading up to this #solstice. Only 7 days where it didn't charge up to 100% and it always refilled the day after. I have not needed to take any action to conserve power at any point. (Other than automated decisions about when the car charges.)

I think this is a success.. and a big change after 15 years of doing the offgrid December limbo.

Happy Holidays
