The boat has its own electric meter, provided by the marina.

The marina office sells £10 prepay cards, which buy 30.30 kilowatts. That's £0.33 per kilowatt, £0.07 more than the average UK price.

In one day, the meter used 0.78kW, so roughly £2 per week. This will increase once I plug in the dehumidifier and the two electric heaters that keep the boat's plumbing from freezing.

been investigating dew point and humidex (instead of going to bed). The humidex is based on the dewpoint via a non-linear formula involving the vapour pressure, but according to the table at the bottom of the wikipedia page linked below, there seems to be a pretty simple relationship between d = (humidex minus actual) and dew point:

```
d dew point
1 10
2 11 or 12
3 13 or 14
4 15
5 16 or 17
6 18
7 19
8 20 or 21
9 22
10 23
11 24
12 25
```

Example: tomorrow afternoon it's forecast to be 26 humidex 32, a difference of 6 degrees, so a dew point of 18.

The same relationship works the other way around: right now here it's 20 with a dew point of 15. This corresponds to a d of 4 degrees, so the humidex is 20 + 4 = 24.

It's almost 8:30pm here and it's still 88°F with a feels like temperature of 100°F with the humidity. That might be the worst part of these heat domes in our area IMO. No relief at any point of the day from the relentless humidity is so draining, at least for me it is. 🥵

It's too bad, because they'll never again hire a boat. People with good experiences tell their friends, and support #CRT and canal funding.

Rough night. My backup generator that takes over power in a power failure at my home failed after 8 hours of faithful operation.

My feeding tube pump had enough battery backup to finish the night. It discharged quicker than it should have so I need to call and get a replacement battery pack. We had a supply of oxygen tanks that don't require electricity but I will have to call to get them restocked. Will need to see if they can add an extra tank or two to the inventory.

Luckily, AEP got our power restored not long ago. It was out for around 17 hours.

The service code on the unit leads to a problem with the engine. I hope it isn't very expensive to fix... always something. #Ohio #Weather #Derecho #OHWX

3/ Home now. Home area got hit hard. Below is a video of where we got gas this morning. There was a tractor trailer on its side close to home where it was toppled over. All of Penny's corn that was planted, 6 large raised beds worth, which had green beans growing up them are gone. uprooted and sent elsewhere. She is doing a walk-around of the house now. Cats started purring as soon as we came in the door, glad we are home. Our construction "garbage" pile was sent elsewhere. Lot of debris. The neighbors picked it all up (it was mostly in their yards) and had it all loaded on the back of a trailer ready for the dump. They were very upset about the damage to our yard and garden because it has come a long was. Overall, we were blessed and in good condition. #PaulsYard. #Ohwx #wx #Ohio #Weather https://www.wlwt.com/article/brown-county-gas-station-video-storms-warning/73407928
