Anyone out there checking in on the sun/moon dance today?

Like @aart, totally grey and rainy here. We'd only see about a 40% eclipse here. I think next April...? we're going to be in the path of totality.

More feathers than turds on the boards this morning, again.
Feed and water consumption is way down the last week or two.

Is the consumption down because they are molting and not laying now?

I can't do that.

I know, most can't. She can go over often because they live in one of those "soup to nuts" retirement communities. It is about a quarter mile walk for her. Nothing considering she is used to walking miles per day.

April 5th. My sister and her kids live in So. Cal, they made their reservation for beds at my house last year for CLEAR SKIES!!!!!

I assume so, especially the no egg production, but this seems more extreme than previous years....but I may just be misremembering.

How are the solar panels performing (when it isn't raining)?

Excellent. My energy credit keeps growing.
But I imagine that's going to start getting eaten into now that I have to run the electric dryer and the days are getting shorter.

Can you see daily usage and production on the electric company's web site? Typically I've only been negative Dec-Feb.

I have 2 Tesla Powerwalls and the app shows real time production and where it is going. I'll have to to watch it and see how much power the heat pumps are sucking. I suspect we will go negative given how much power DW's Leaf uses driving 70 miles 7 days a week. I could put in another set of panels but DW can retire in just over 3 years and then we would be SO over generating I don't know that the extra panels now would be worth it.

I haven't checked.
I still have to configure my Tesla Powerwall.
