It was pretty hot, way over a hundred when we got here. We parked the motorhome under a couple eucalyptus trees, closed the curtains, opened the louvered windows, opened some ceiling vents, and turned on the exhaust fan. We decided to just let the exhaust fan run the whole time to keep the motorhome from getting too hot and stuffy inside. It worked. Every day, the solar collector on the roof recharges the batteries enough to keep the fan running again all the next day. Overall there is a net loss of battery. We couldn’t do this forever, but it’ll work for four days. We only have one collector on the roof. The system will allow for two more collectors, but they’re kind of expensive. I think we should get one more collector this year. We should be practically electrically independent with that.
Today, at the conference, we focused on leading indicators, rather than trailing indicators. I think there is some merit in that. Everything we do now is historical. Well, except for the graphs. But the audited financial statements are about what has already happened. The 990 tax return is about what has already happened. The graphs are about what has already happened, but as I talk about them, we get to talking about what works and what doesn’t work, and sometimes where they’re headed if they keep doing what they’re doing. I think that is the real opportunity to help: Talking about their choices, and the effects of the different options.
My racquetball guy was a no-show tonight. I did find another guy to play, though. Had a good time with him. I got to pretend I was really playing lefty, and try out all the serves and strategies I would have used against him.
The water park is keeping Judy well occupied during the day.
Room service dinner is pretty good.
