7.31.22

 The last day of July, the world is ending.

I slept till 5am without ac.  could have just gone downstairs, i have an extra window unit even at my office, but in truth i was very comfortable under just a sheet.

I got plenty of exercise and if i have a slight headache today it is likely from snoring and not anything else.

So this morning i will likely run down to the office to pick up the ac unit, then install it on the deck since that is convenient.

There was another turn down by an accelerator, but those are not the right place for me.  These six grants that are pending, possibly only 3 that really have a chance of going anywhere, are the future as well as those which i will file very soon now.  For the AF grant I have all of 9 days left, also true if i file with the epa.

I have plenty to do there, the navy, the army; not to mention the DOE grants which are already written after a fashion.  Well, that is true of one.

I want to go ahead and file the provisional in whatever form and get the book published.

I am not, after all, making any progress.  This is a waste of a couple of hundred dollars, but i need the book published and the argument is that the patent even if largely too little too late in light of what is already filed should be filed anyway.

Went through the patent, made changes took out stuff, saw a whole lot to add, but it will never stop so i added some of it and checked and it was  the right length and all.  Maybe tomorrow as it is provisional anyway.

Rode bike to work, all seemed in ordeer with the ac so i carried it to the reception area, drove back picked it up in time for the hottest part of the day and assembled it and installed it and it is fighting a losing battle in this one room where it is not as hot as it might otherwise be.  I think in the evening it will be cool.  I would say the house is at 81 (only 92 or so outside today with clouds) and this room is probably 75.  Its a big room, not totally closed off and 75 is comfortable, not cold.

It is noisy too.  Still it will make a big difference over the next couple of days and being a small unit it wont use a lot of energy, probably far less than the central unit.

I made an involved salad of leftovers, a little turkey, a little dried out chicken, a little arugulla, tomatoes, beets which still had some life in them, a couple of types of cheese and some homemade chickpea mash with pita chips and a carrot chaser.

I brushed the pool which is all the upper body work, but it needed it and i think i have gotten sort of in front of it again, although probably need to run the pump tonight and i doubt i will swim again as i took a shower after the bike ride, assembly and installation.

I had a few imaginary conversations with you, none of them satisfactory, i was pretty busy going though the document and next week i will finish with the grant and get ready for the doe grants, maybe do a quick adapation for the epa, although that is just a waste of time.
