| | Let me tell you how comfortable 52F at 0930 inside is...
I can't say much about this generally but today I'm rather comfortable in a rugby shirt and hat. Two cups of french pressed but rather old coffee coursing through my veins probably helps but i can't complain. Its sunny with heavy clouds over the mountains a hours drive away so it may be cool later.
Later today, when my "work" tasks are done I'm planning on pulling out hte engineering books (i lugged 2 down here) and trying to model a solar panel. Nerdy, yes. But that 52F air temp also translates to 52F water temp so that really, really cold for say dishes, washing my face (if i did that), showering (we do have a widow maker but starting temp affects volume of comfortable water), etc. There are really expensive ready-made solar panels on sale in the city from an Australian outfit but I want to see how poorly a homemade panel would compare. Basically a cost benefit sort of thing.
thats all.
