New generator news to follow:

The Generac Eco Gen 15 KW generator is completely connected now. It took a month, and I was working almost 24/7. I sat and watched it sit there, laughing at me. It's so nice to have it finally hooked up and properly programed.

So now our new Eco Gen will turn on if the battery bank gets low, if a big load is applied or if the state of charge (SOC) falls below 60%. This should make it easier to travel and live a nice life that's more free of worry. I did it all myself. Insert proper pat on the back now.

I just cancelled a meeting that would have involved a lot of people that treat me like an equal and as if they like me. That's not a common occurrence in my home warehouse. My customers needed me due to a big storm storm. And the weather was shitty for a 250 mile drive. I've learned that putting ones self at risk for a meeting is really a bad way to approach life. Mostly I miss getting to hang with my friends. I don't have many close friends, and I find this group particularly wonderful. They recognize that I'm not the "norm" and love me anyway.

I dislike being torn, I'm quite certain they'll forgive me.

I'm hoping the over time slows down soon. I'd love to just chill. Retirement is less than 5 years off and there's a lot to do so it's hard to turn down the opportunity for extra funds but I want to make sure I don't ignore my family in the process.

Balancing acts. It's all balancing acts.
