Rest, Planning, Prepping: November 5 2019
Rest. Yesterday I tried to be as mellow as possible to my body as I am still damned sore. I am pretty sure the airbag hit me in the right shoulder which is why. I heard the airbag go off upon impact but it was to my right as I was tossed to the left against the door, which made it hit my shoulder. Better than hitting me in the face for sure, but still sucks. Ibuprofen is helping some.
Plans are now for me to go to California with my Dad next week to pick up my car and drive home to Washington. I need to be back before the 20th which is my oldest’s 6th birthday and tomorrow is my youngest’s 3rd birthday. This is working out well in that I have a car available that will be able to handle the car seats and is a Subaru so will be fine here in the winter snow and ice. I am now looking towards fixing up my old 94 Toyota pickup that needs a new engine. I can get a long block crate engine for about $1800 and just swap them out. This will give me a truck and a commuter car. For now that is the direction I am aiming for the nearish future.
In the evening UPS delivered the Mighty Mule gate opener. I am extremely stoked to finally have this and am going to be starting the install today. A nice aspect of my being a “collector” of useful items is that I have a few smaller solar panels that I am going to choose from as my power charge for the battery. If I have a bit larger of a panel I will be able to charge the battery better with less light, since the gate is in a pretty shadowed part of the property. I do have trees I can climb and mount the panels in to get more sun though so I will just have to do some looking and watching the sun exposure.
I have this same gate operator it is awesome!!
I power this with my solar panels.
I did drill one small hole from the bottom to let more rain water drip out, this helps!
And congratulations on the 6,487 @actifit steps!!!!!!👍🤗
Have a wonderful day!!!
Awesome, that is good to hear. I am likely to have it at a slight angle, off level, so I hope the water will run off nice and not cause problems.
