It was a lovely morning here in southern Saskatchewan, but it looks like storm clouds are rolling in. *sighs* I’m glad I got a ton of laundry done on Monday since yesterday was very grey and, appropriately enough, I was under the weather (going to bed early and sleeping almost 12 straight hours nipped THAT in the bud).<\/p>\n

Since the weather was good this morning, I did several more loads of laundry and got on top of the pile at last! I just need to do dish cloths and dish towels. Hopefully, what’s on the line will be dry by the time the sky gets really grey.<\/p>\n

I can’t believe how much laundry I’ve done with my Wonderwash and spin dryer<\/a> without doing the little ‘trick’ I do now: I use the spin dryer before the rinse cycle. This gets the bulk of the soapy water out, so I need a lot less fresh water to rinse.<\/p>\n

Even though I wasn’t feeling well yesterday and am absolutely swamped with work (woohoo), I did make a little progress on my electrical issues. I had a gander at the main positive cable going from the batteries to the converter, confirmed that it is tiny (I’m actually thinking 14AWG at this point!) and that the lug on the end was a little loose. I didn’t have much wire to play with, but there was enough to remove the lug and crimp on a new ring terminal. In the evening, I noticed a slight improvement in my voltage readings; almost no drop with one LED light on, but too much drop with two lights on. When I have time, I’ll go hunting for more connections as this isn’t the first time I’ve caught a bad factory crimp.<\/p>\n

Thank you to everyone who commented on the post about my electrical dilemma. You guys are great!<\/p>\n
