I had a rewarding morning walking to pick up my car at Leigh. 6:45 The morning sunlight was perfect and there were hardly any people around Just the occasional dog-accompanment. It was a healthy way to start the day. I was relieved to find my car undamage and surrounded by about a dozen others that had also survived the night getting charged to charge at a generius rate. I hope this continues. Esprcially sfter reviewing the PG&E usage data and realizing I may need to spend roughly $400 to buy and install breaker-specific monitors. We're also now on thr higher rates for the summer, which is driving our bills upward. Our work is not done yet. Jen wasn't hungry, so the three of us went to our usual place for a relatively pleasant breakfast before Lauren and I drove to the beach. It was moderately chilly but bearable. We had a good talk and then drove back through the redwoods, Felton, and other towns It is a breathtaking drive. We joked about naming the Tesla "Perry" and how I had considered the chattering for my "look sound". It's active as of this afternoon. I started watching the Beach Boys documentary but had to leave for a bike ride with Mark, which was epic. The stories along with the dusk lighting on the unique homes reminded me of the podcast idea. I need to take Jen walking there this weekend or get another e-bike so all three of us can go. That would be the perfect time to record.
