Day: August 14, 2020

I went to do my monthly exercises with the GDC (the RV that my friends Mark and Amy brought to me about a year ago, now). I was a week or so late, so I went out and ran the engine for while, ran the heater for a while, changed its parking spot.
When I went to run the generator, the generator wouldn’t start. So I set out to try to diagnose the problem. It seemed the battery was dead.

I took out the battery, brought it over to the house and charged it up and took it back. But still, the generator wouldn’t start. I worried the starter was bad on it. So I ran an extension cord over and tried jumping the generator directly from the charger (I had thought to jump it from the engine, but the generator and its battery are electrically separate from the engine and its battery, and it’s actually a long ways around the vehicle from engine battery to generator battery, so jumper cables were ruled out).
Jumping directly from the charger worked! So that means, it’s just that the generator battery is dead and can’t hold a charge. Annoying, but easy enough to fix, using money. I’ll get a new battery at some point.
Meanwhile, the GDC and I have signed a truce until next month, when we will wage a battle of wills once again.

What I’m listening to right now.

Bronson, “Keep Moving.” I mostly like the video. It’s kinda interesting. Still, the music has a kind of a “nightclub minimalism” vibe going.
Lyrics.

[Chorus]
I can see how it moves
Don’t be afraid
I can see how it moves
Blackout again

I can see how it moves
Don’t be afraid
I can see how it moves
Blackout again

Yeah okay, blackout

[Chorus]
Go ahead
Keep moving
Go ahead
Don’t be afraid

Yeah okay, blackout

Go ahead
Go ahead
Go ahead
Go ahead

Yeah okay, blackout

[Outro]
Blackout again
