KS2 corp

 

One of five 80 lb batteries I found hanging under the rear of the silver van made by KS2 corp of Montreal

400 lb of lithium iron phosphate


    These big batteries are made, someone said on some RV forum, by one guy in Montreal. We're not sure or I'm not sure these batteries are healthy since nothing 12 volt was working this afternoon. We hooked back up to shore power and the system appears to be charging. But with that much storage you could run an air conditioner and a hair dryer all night. If the bats were in their vigorous youth. 

    Another walk in Saratoga Woods, but now with three dogs: D, Marb, and Bayra.  They did fine. They seemed happy and why not; it was like the Avenue of the Giants, sort of, with 3 tiny beasts trotting and cavorting on the trail among the giants' feet and shins.

The afternoon sank into silence and some sloth at least for me which the dinner of creamy mushroom and shrimp pasta reinvigorated.

          Trash day always a bit of a fright as the truck rolls by around 6:45 like it might want to snatch your can but doesn't until maybe 11 or 1 or 9. Like the guy said when asked a while ago, "We just don't know when, where or how much". It's just garbage.      S went off for an allergy assessment in Everett as well as a booster and a thorough vacuuming of the Subaru with a short foray into Costco, but not to wrangle my Rapaflo pee amplifier, rather for cheese.      For my part I poured 4 gallons of hot water and detergent down into the black and gray water tanks, drained the fresh water and sloshed my way over to Les Schwab to have them check the crack in the front right aluminum  wheel. Other than to say that if it failed I was fucked the guy there couldn't help.      Texted up B and went for a walk for the update on the bike tour which was challenging and was he glad to be home. He feels he may well ...

tuesday and wednesday

on the trail of the village water line R exits ferry with dog (hidden)      Another rondelay to Freeland and beyond for a cartridge and then the next day a ham hock. The cartridge was for S and the ham hock for the Romanian pork and bean soup which was a lot of trouble and tasted like pork and bean soup although the caraway seeds added something different. Tuesday there was supper at Dean and Mary's house out Saratoga. Wednesday there was a dinner here at home with Bruce and Deon at which the Romanian soup was served. Both those events were relaxed and chatty.      R brought Marbles over on the boat for a handoff as she prepared to fly to New York for the wedding of Maxwell formerly of the Huff Post days.      There was at least a good walk on Tuesday up cemetery and down to commons for a cheddar and jalapeno bagel in which D and I rediscovered Jay's wetland project back of the old middle school field and D got into some deep black swamp mud...

West beach, west beach, west beach

       Dog is strangely melancholy this morning, seemingly. Who knows what really goes on inside that creature. He ate his breakfast at least. As did we all.      Rain.      Bargain hunting for acetaminophen. Star Store lacks complete product line. Get Banshee bread. Head to Freeland RiteAid, score value bottle of item.      Two 5 gallon buckets of crushed rock - 5/8 minus with binder from Landshapers, buck a bucket, upick. D never out of Subaru.      S suggests west beach walk with next door D girlfriend, Biera. Off we go as far as where the trees lie horizontally over the sand beyond the bulkhead now gone. Three flat bags of oysters lying at the tide line. D and Biera continue slightly abusive relationship which exhausts them.       After all that, I create burst cherry tomato pasta which is acceptable, but not exceptional.
