    We got about 3-4 inches. And more to come Wednesday and Thursday. 14 for the high today and maybe zero tonight. I'll get out tomorrow and picked up a couple things from the store. This is the street in front of my house. Not too bad so the city probably won't mess with it.

    Thermo king Apu's are sometimes wired with the Espar directly to the HMI control panel. In this case the heater function would work. Most likely you have a separate control for your Espar which completely bypasses your main control. In either event the tripac doesn't heat. The Espar does. Just two different ways of turning it on depending on installation.

    It's an absolute disaster in Austin. Another night of single digit temps to go along with 6" of snow. Rolling blackouts. Some poor folks are absolutely fukked. Screw the water bill. I'm running water on outside walls and have space heaters running. My generator is at the ready.

    I had the day off. Those guys in the shop fixed several little nagging things on my truck. Then they said I can leave it parked in their 65° shop for the night, while outside its gonna be -25°.

    Oh Joy! Crawling into a nice warm truck tomorrow morning!
