Nothing exciting here, move along now!

Yesterday I quickly made up a pair of cables with jumper connectors on them and put them in the battery compartment. The aim there is to connect to the second solar controller with the eventual aim of keeping the driving batteries topped up via a small solar panel hung in the windshield. That really does not need a huge panel as all it'll be doing is stopping self-discharge.

Today I welded together two pieces of steel angle. The next step will be to fill that with concrete. After the concrete has set it'll be smoothed with cement and a piece of aluminium bar pressed into the cement to act as a mold for when I weld aluminium bars to go over the windows on the one side of the bus. That way there will be limited aluminium runoff, the two bars will be lined correctly and heat will be concentrated rather than wasted.

The intent had been to go under the bus to do the brake lines, to connect the solar connection I made up and to switch out the connectors on the batteries. None of that happened largely because Saturday and Sunday I was unwell. Definitely not Covid. Today I was just exhausted.
