    Heat Waves

    Much of New England, New York, NJ, Eastern PA, and Michigan down to Arkansas have heat Warnings out today. I looked at my regional grid manager, ISO-NE, and it looks to be close to capacity today. I'm sure many others will be also. It would not take much more to cause it to fail in places. Have a backup ready.

    Stay Frosty.
    BAH FUCKING HUMBUG!

    It was absolutely brutal here yesterday. I cannot take the heat like that at all. Looks like today and most of the week are going to be just like yesterday. 97 degrees and air robbing humidity suck I hate it.

    Our forecast is a solid week of >90F. Today is expected to be 97. NWS is showing heat warnings in a huge area. Need to prep backup power for freezer, frig, AC & fans. Lots of wattage.

    Fuse are popping in sections around here 8k without power yesterday we were lucky and on the right side of the outtage yesterday. Aging electrical equipment that they didnt touch while building all the new big foot home neighborhoods where cornfields used to be. 4pm peak usage fuses blow or transformers fail.

    It's in the 60's here in the Rockies. It's supposed to get in the upper 80's next week. Time to go higher up...to 10,000 ft. to cool off.
