Minus 2.4\u00b0C outside just no when I went outside to take the stats. And it’s getting colder too. Winter is definitely here and no mistake.<\/p>\n
This morning though, when the alarm rang, I’d been awake for over an hour and had been polishing off a bottle of fruit juice. That’s what happens when you have an early night. And I’d been on my travels too. I’d been playing football for Cefin Druids but running up and down the wing off the pitch, just to take the throw-ins. But someone else started to take them so I thought “sod this” and went onto the field.<\/p>\n
Afer breakfast I fitted the rest of the important cables to the second part of the second layer of the power board in the barn, and fitting it into place.<\/p>\n
After that, I started on the front panel. First job was to find the battery isolating switch that I was looking for on Friday. I didn’t find it, but I did find all of the others so now I have one in place. I also found something else that I had lost ages ago – part of the centre of one of the batches of hole saws. No idea how long that I’ve been looking for that but it does just go to show that you always find stuff you have lost whenever you are really looking for something else. <\/p>\n
As for the front panel itself, all of the holes have been cut for the gauges and meters as well as for the battery isolator and the light switch. What I’ll do tomorrow is to do the cutouts for the British mains socket, the Euro mains socket, the 12-volt standard socket, the 12-volt overcharge socket and the cigarette lighter socket. When they are wired in, I can install the front panel.<\/p>\n
Tonight, I cooked a mega curry of lentils, potatoes and mushrooms. Enough for another three meals and they should keep for a week or so in these new storage jars that I’m using.<\/p>\n
