I have not done any planning changes for our trips as another hurricane, Irma is coming north somewhere. Our coming trip to Florida is impacted and on this trip we have been thinking of deviating east and stopping in Charleston, South Carolina area. Normally we are too much in a rush and do not stop too much along the way. This year Charleston, SC popped into our planning as our granddaughter will be going to college therein two years. On our trips we usually stop one night in South Carolina along interstate highway ninety-five so now I want to go closer to the city and stop two nights to “look around” and tourist the city a little.
Our next stop has been at the Florida Georgia line. There is not a convent stopping place before or after Jacksonville (closer) (ok a price we would be willing to pay for). One campground before Jacksonville is Passport America (50% off) but two night minimum. And I only want one night there so that is off the table. The next place is further than I wish to drive. Stopping near the Florida line in Georgia has also changed to back by exit seven. That will allow us an Atlantic ocean beach check at Fernandina Beach.
So it all depends on the weather what we do from here. Also next weekend there are ball games to play, so we will catch them also.
Thought For The Day – A giraffe’s coffee would be cold by the time it reached the bottom of its throat. Did you ever think about that? No, because you only think about yourself!

I am planning a shelf to make above the inverter to store cleaning supplies. Previously we just piled some things on top of the inverter also stuffing some things in front. It is not good practice doing that as it restricts air flow the inverter needs for cooling during the inverting process. The shelf will allow me to store things above the inverter leaving space around the inverter for the cooling process that is needed when the inverter is making house voltage.

I have been planning our trip to start after the holiday. Before the Hurricane Harvey it had been my plan to travel interstate ten thru Louisiana going west to San Antonio, Texas. With the flooding going on in the Houston, Texas area I will take Buster around that. I know that the water will be down by then but the roads may not be completely repaired. There is also the chance of additional construction zones. Louisiana interstate ten is not the best of condition either when there has been no storm. So it is back to the maps and researching our route and planning out stops along the way.
Another variable is my wife went for an eye glasses, about a week for delivery.

Rain last night, after dark there was a good two tenths of an inch of rain. Everything was dripping wet this morning.
It did not take long to switch out the inverter as everything was prepared for this job. Last thing needed doing was loosening the ground wire off the old unit. I shut down the air conditioners then turned off power. Now disconnect the wires power in and the two power out circuits. Then it is lift the two fifty pound units, one out of the compartment and one back in. Reconnect the power in and power out, attach the ground wire and the battery cables. We are ready for power on and it took about a half of an hour in time. It was now up to seventy-nine degrees with clearing skies.

Everything is working as expected. Most noted was the power in green light on the control panel being illuminated. That is the first time since the power surge the power in light was illuminated.
I reconnected the refrigerator to its receptacle coming off the extension cord for the first time since July eighth, that is important and closing the cover outside the refrigerator. The house batteries are now being charged thru the inverter (and the solar panels).

Fogy starting the drive this morning but that cleared after an hour or so. Leaving about seven-thirty, we stayed off interstate ninety-five expecting too much traffic out there. We had picked a place for lunch and that was our drive to location. Taking the back roads over to US 1 heading south towards Columbia, South Carolina.
After lunch we went outside to the parking lot for our viewing area, the restaurant parking lot. It was partly cloudy but it got worse to mostly cloudy at the total eclipse time. We were able to see and get pictures going to half way. After that it was only clouds and the change in daylight that was noticeable at the one hundred percent coverage, temperature cooled without the direct sunlight. After the total and decreasing there was a break in the clouds and we were able to view the moon passing the sun.
We tried to make a faster return but we ran into traffic on interstate twenty and ninety-five. We stopped in Florence, SC for gasoline and got back on ninety-five for a short way before getting off and going to the back roads for the rest of our return trip.

Brought Rahlee home to Buster from the Veterinary’s office both front paws were bandaged and a little groggy from the anesthesia. Trying to walk he was very unsure of himself with the bandages and was trying to remove them. Walking on his “arms and elbows not the paws. He did eat and use the litter box, with the changed absorbent (pine chips) material.
It is like he is wearing gloves or mittens and does not like them. After a while we went out to run some errands and when we returned he had one of the “mittens” off. The vet said that would be ok as long as there was only minimal bleeding, there was no bleeding. He tipped over the litter box as the pine material has no weight so I place the regular cat litter container on top of the litter box, to add weight to hold it down. Now that one of the mittens was off he calmed down at trying to get the second one off. Before we went out for errands he was almost constantly working to get one of the bandages off his paws.

Power went off, 1:20 am, that stopped the air on my c-pap machine I got up and started the generator. I was awake for more than two hours before feeling sleepy and going back to bed.
Power was back when I got up after eight this morning. The power company put out an email saying a car ran into an electric pole causing the outage also giving estimate of time that power will be restored, they were on early. i shut down the generator.
Latter this morning the money back for the returned inverter was credited back to my account less the restocking fee. So now I can order the correct inverter single input dual output two thousand watt inverter. The dual output was where I made the wrong order and ordered the cheapest price unit and not watching that the original unit had dual output (circuit breakers on the lower left front).

Second Inverter delivered, the first was the wrong one and that was returned. I had to wait for the credit back to my account before buying the second inverter. Now I am waiting for cool Saturday morning to turn off all electric power. With the power off I will be able to safely brake and make the electric wire connections. With power off and too much sun, Buster will heat up very fast so that is why I am waiting for the cool morning. But I will also have John’s help available on Saturday morning.

Today is the day to take Rahlee (our cat) to the vegetarians office as both front paws will have the nails removed. After that we had breakfast. When I get up in the morning Rahkee comes to my side for petting (body rub) as I am sitting on the side of the bed. Today I just picked him up and took him to the cat carrier and put him in. Yes he did try to resist that but after a couple of tries he went right in the carrier. But he turned around just as quick and was trying to come out as I was closing the door.
After being back at Buster for a while we were out again for errands. My wife had found some water on the floor behind the toilet. After investigating I found the vacuum breaker leaking and running down the sprayer hose. So it was off to Camping World to get a replacement.
(Water comes up from the bottom and goes out the right side.)
They only had the complete kit vacuum breaker with the hose and sprayer included. It took the guy a while to find it in his computer as they take the manufactures part number and add their own part number. Buying a bigger kit cost me seventy-seven dollars for a vacuum breaker with the sprayer hose and bracket.
On our way back I wanted to get e new screen protector for my phone and my wife wanted a new case for her phone. The first Verizon Wireless store we stopped in Garner didn’t have anything for our Motorola phone, and the guy was not very helpful. We just got out of there and went to another store in Fuquay. There the guy was more helpful explaining why there was no products for our phone, they are too old and do not stock the products to support the phones anymore. We have had them three years.
He suggested maybe we would like the Samsung Galaxy 3 phones explaining the cost. The marketing of phones has changed since we last bought the Motorola phones, learning the new marketing. Now the “big learn” as we purchased the Samsung Galaxy 7 phones, they have different software that the Motorola phones we have had for five years (two years and three years). The first two years the battery was smaller on that phone and as it came to the end of the second year we were getting a low battery in four hours. The second phone had a bigger battery and we were getting a faster battery drain lately at three years use. So now it is trying to learn the functions of the Galaxy 7 phones, wear to get the spot to touch on the phone and get the response we want, it is different.

UPS delivered the inverter I had ordered on line, showing up late afternoon. Opening the box and checking over my purchase, it is the wrong unit. I did not check close enough and ordered this incorrectly. This unit is single input single output. Buster needs dual output.
I ordered thru Ebay and contacted them immediately, but this will be a slow time operation to fix this problem.
Wrong inverter received, a single input single output received should be should be single input dual put 2000 watt. There were two things first being that there were no circuit beakers on the lower left front of the unit (black area in picture) second was in the manual they talked about optional circuits. Checking closer the part number on the left flanges were not the same on both units. Later when checking on line further I found that the part number of my unit has changed. The inverters are marketed mostly nomenclature and not part number.

Well I started with the current model number, they do not make that anymore. Now try and find the current number of a microwave convection oven that will fit, staying with General Electric products. Found the one on the Home Depot website. But I want to touch a microwave convection oven that will fit before I buy one.

Microwave oven is delivered between three and four o’clock today. I get it unpacked and ready to install. The vent fan has to be rotated for recirculated air operation as it is shipped in the top vent position. That is all outside work and I am planning to use the original wall bracket, same manufacturer although the new bracket is a little different looking.

| Sitting on cart waiting |
John came home late from work and helped me “hang” the Microwave oven but it is not lining up it seems to drop in the wall bracket ok and the front bolts at difficult to get started. It is difficult reaching over the stove holding the sixty plus pound unit while starting the bolts.
 |
| Microwave Bolt |
One nice thing the bolts are extra long making it easier to start them. It seams like the Microwave oven does not “sit” down in the bracket as it should, take it back down and change the bracket and put it up again. Still having problem with one front bolt. Needs to be a little wider hole to get that started. One more time down and up with the Microwave oven. Made the hole a little wider, by the way there were large washers on the original bolt installation compensating for the large hole.
