Other than a quick walk over to grab some prewash detergent I needed to get my greasy clothes washed, yesterday I never made it to the shop for any work. Being so rural, a trip into town for some tools and brake fluid took most of the day after the laundry was done.
Today was spent in bleeding the new front brakes in my Plymouth Voyager Magic Camper, then setting up my 12v solar charging system to maintain batteries when I'm not here, especially in the very cold winter. The system uses a 100 watt panel on the roof and already was connected but I expanded on it with a second controller that can handle two dissimilar batteries when before I had to connect them in parallel and they needed to be the same, or at least very similar. The system also provides some lighting in case I need to go out there in the dark and it can keep my devices charged. Eventually I'll add a way to also charge 6v batteries.
Here is a photo of the panel but it will eventually be replaced by a full off-grid 120/240v solar power system.
