    Cloud, rain, but hot, humid sometimes sunny day, 4,1 & 2.0 feels like autumn down here this evening, dark and very windy
    How did your battery hold up with today's weather? Enough to get you through the day?
    Yes, still had 30'ish % percent this morning from yesterday, it got filled during the day, despite, 1 washing load, and a 30 min dump of excess into the hot water.

    After 11 decent days, it ended with a pretty poor 1.52 O's yesterday. Forecast for the next week looks reasonable though.
