The first one is great
Thanks.
For what it's worth, I'm now running my1100W inverter off the
deepcycle battery, jumpered to my van battery, as my van idles in the
driveway.
Ack!

As you may have heard, we've been having a spot of weather lately.
Tuesday
Morning at about 8:30AM a tree took out some powerlines a couple
hundred
yards down the road. It has now been about 42 hours, and PG&E says
that
they might have power restored by 11PM on Thursday. Last night, the
crews
went out and repaired the wires. I thought it would be a fun technical
challenge to try to get some photos of them working at night:

It turns out that the 8 year old RV battery that ran my UPS is now an
ex-battery. It also turns out that it weighs 123 pounds, which
explains why
it was so difficult to lug up and down those steps. Fortunately,
when I took
it over to a friend's house to charge it today, I also had a marine
battery, so, when I got home tonight, I was able to run my computer
for a
bit.
