We didn’t lose the game; we just ran out of time.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Another morning. Cats and kittens fed and watered.I hauled out my two hundred dollar apartment sized washer\/spin drier and did socks. I used all the swamp water filtered to clear I had. Socks are hung up outside.<\/p>\n

Yesterday I used some of that water to have a Navy birdbath. When we were out oat sea our desalinization plant would break down often. Saltwater to fresh.
\nSo it was soap up and quick rinse. I do miss having 100 gallon hotwater baths heated with fossil fuels every morn8ng, but will never do again. It was extremly wasteful. I used less than a gallon to wash most of my bod and long hair. I say most because I did this on my back deck.<\/p>\n

Washing my clothes, socks, sweater, tshirt and sweat pants used about 15 litres of water I filtered yesterday. It goes through a strainer, then screen to remove the plants and bugs that grow in my pond water. Mostly dragonfly nymphs and water striders.<\/p>\n

Then it goes through two pressed carbon filters. The water goes in brown comes out clear. If I run it through my berkey filters I can even drink it. Yes I do add a few drops of peroxide JIC.<\/p>\n

I am currently testing my power system, currently Solar, LiFeP04 and gen. I have a battery monitor on them. I am getting ready for Starfield. Ten more sleeps.If you haven’t heard it is the biggest RPG ever made. I will be playing the game just using My LFP and Bluetti which also has a few small LFP inside.<\/p>\n

So this is my procedure so far. I start my Starlink. Then the Xbox, I log in. Then I start my game. Then I discoonect the Starlink. I plugin my DC input from the LFP, that gives me 200w of power. The Xbox using around 200w give or take. That keeps me gaming for quite a few hours. Right now I have to run the gen for a few hours to charge the Lfp.<\/p>\n

Soon I hope to order a new solar panel and MPPT controller. Every month I will add more. I will be gaming on power created by without fossil fuels. I will also try adding a pure sine wave controller. To see if I can just bypass the stupid little Bluetti.<\/p>\n
