Handed in my work stuff on Monday. I start the new gig Sept 4th so now I have a luxorious 5 weeks of freedom slash unemployment. Most of that time will be spent on a long list of DIY in and around the house, but I'm also making an effort to meet a bunch of friends and family who I haven't spoken to in a while.

We also got solar yesterday! Five panels pointing east and five pointing west. The weather today was very cloudy and stormy, but they seem to be working great; I got a nice flat energy generation profile out of my panels which (at least today) matched my own energy profile quite well. The blue is all the energy I was able to directly use; green is generation, purple/pink is what I still needed to draw from the grid.
