Still have the chips but the beverages are disappearing. We are all here again and going to grill steaks and fixins.

I was gonna guess the dog got the chips.

 

[Cammalu]

I fed that dog breakfast tacos, roast beef, potatoes and carrots today. Maybe a few chips....

BLEEp gets no time off. The missing part will be here tomorrow but everything else will be completed

 

[rvpopeye]

Why does he get no time off?? :huh:
Is he being punished for eating a tick?

Looks like Santa and one of his Elves up there on the roof looking for the chimney...

Santa has a Bigfoot for an elf.

What park are you in?

 

[GotSmart]

Today we are at finger lakes state park in norther Missouri.  Finally managed to get a shaded spot to finish the install.  

There are four Renogy 100 W Eclypse panels.  A Commander controller with a tracer meter.  1000 W inverter.  

Unless you know how much prep is needed, you have no idea how much is involved in setting up a system. The wire size. Batteries.  Where and how on fuses.  What wires to run first, how and where to mount things, and NEVER NEVER NEVER hook up the panels first.

Stearnwake gave me so much great advice about parts quality I owe him a beer or 12.

 

[rvpopeye]

Good point for everyone to remember.
Connect panels last.
Disconnect panels first.

I have switches for doing this but doing it after dark works good too..

This info SHOULD be in all controller manuals....
Glad you finally got into shade to do the roof stuff.

No need for the sun till you do a test.

Campground electric is great for running the Air Conditioner for "free"!!!

Bark bark bark.    :dodgy:

I had a small amount to drink.  A little wine, and bottles of water.  I need to stay hydrated.

 

[rvpopeye]
