Shortly after our solstice visit to Kilauea, the volcano suddenly erupted.
I’m also fine-tuning my software for managing my solar generation. Of course, solstice gives us the fewest hours of direct sunshine, so we should be happy that we had a sufficiency of power for the day. On the other hand, the weather has been unseasonably clear so I suspect it won’t always be this easy. I’ll share the charging algorithms and software configuration details here once things are working smoothly.
I also had three notably bad fatigue days in a row, which have really hampered my ability to get things done. I’m counting on this being a passing issue, but it’s pretty disconcerting, especially the cognitive changes. Today, I’m happy to report, was almost fatigue-free.
We also learned today that we might be able to become very modest vanilla-bean growers. We’re going to start a plant or three and see how they do (it takes about three years to know if they’re going to thrive in our particular microclimate).
