Vacation, a blessing but a curse. Took the boat and went to the Jersey coast for the week fishing with the wife. We kept with the social distance stuff mask etcetera other then seeing some family but I needed to get some salt water on me. We often take trips for a week and with my setup we have always been OK when we got home until this trip. Thinking I am pretty smart I have used a UPS (uninterrupted power supply) for my pumps in case of a power failure for many years. I tested them in the past and with 3 pumps on the one battery my power could go out for about 15 hours before the battery wanted recharge at 1 minute on 5 off. So usually unless there was an extended power outage I would be fine. Had this setup for years and never a problem until this trip, apparently the battery died and instead of failing open it just quit giving power, came home to a flower room full of dead plants. I have had the batteries go before and they always failed open (providing power). One rail was ready to harvest just needed a flush before I cut them down, depressing but if that is the worst I get from my covid adventures I will be fine. Luckily my veg room was not harmed. So a setback but not a crisis. Hoping that the wife and I have enough in reserve to get us by, unfortunately I am a pretty generous guy so I took a bunch of my stash with me and gave it to family that also imbibe while there figuring I was harvesting when I got home so I had a good supply and I love to share and hear all the compliments

.
I did move 4 of MILF into the flower room today smaller then what I would normally move but... so in 10 weeks or so I will have a report

Hope everyone one is doing great and going to try to enjoy some of this summer season when and where possible, be safe out there and SCREW COVID!
