Hi Folks,
Another late night. Slightly milder day today and almost a repeat of yesterday. Susan working on the jungle and myself patching and undercoating the roof of "Ishtar"

Today started off with a broken lead used to connect to the solar panel. I have a technique for salvaging the Anderson crimp connectors when this happens by soldering the wire to them. Today's wire was very tarnished and wouldn't wet with solder until I dipped it in hydrochloric acid which cleaned it a treat. Feeling bolstered by this success I then resoldered the LED in my old controller a job made more difficult by the silastic i sealed the board with the other day but in the end another success.

The day passed quickly as busy days do. Tonight I put together my voltage /current monitor for the solar system. It looked pretty neat but there is a problem with the current meter not zeroing so I shall be off to Jaycar to chew their ears and hopefully get the module replaced. The two modules also have widely different brightness's which is also annoying. Anyway I will deal with it tomorrow.

I was called on to catch a very large and fast spider in the house tonight. It sort of looked light a giant huntsman. Caused much consternation to Lazuli.
Anyway that's if off to bed about a minute before midnight.
cheers
Simon
