Back at the cabin after a week away during ‘atmospheric river’. No snow of course but branches everywhere, luckily non through the roof this time. A few things: I had left my WiFi dingus plugged in to the battery bank so I could look at the place on the cameras while away. I figured the solar would keep the bank charged but down to 12.3v on arrival, yikes. Good news is the new to me diesel genny started on second try, pumping in 40 amps.

Then tried the new Mr. Coffee I got my wife for Christmas. Same one she uses at the house. So she can’t complain about my ‘boil water on lp and pour over’ method at the cabin. Uses about 1,500 watts but only takes a few minutes.

I brought out this Kant Twist clamp that’s been kicking around the garage for who knows how long. It’s for holding two pieces of wood or metal together while screwing or welding. Don’t recall ever using it, maybe I grabbed it at a yard sale, but if it was around when building the cabin I would have used it 1,000 times.

I think Southern California got the worst of it. Ironically though, my 10 acres had a house on it (as I’ve mentioned before), a mansion they called it, that came down in a mudslide in 1967. When I bought the land 30 years later this is what I got. I built the cabin above the remains, then a few years later dug out the remains and built my shop on the concrete floor and back wall. Newspaper photo from ‘67.
