So today is not going entirely to plan.
The set of additional #solarpanels I connected up refuse to give us juice. I tried to trace the fault and got jack shit info because my cheap ass 19 year old #multimeter is (confirmed by many tests now) not working any more. Its fuse is fine too, as is its #battery. It just displays zeros.
So add to the list of unexpected expenses and delays one new multimeter...

#mutualaid is our lifeline to #selfsufficiency so we can help others. Can you help us out with our expenses for...?

Multimeter: $7-8 at Harbor Freight
Crimp connectors: $?
Tyres: ~$1200 (Vulpibus)
Refilling fuel: ~$100
Refilling my overdraft: ~$500
Refilling my other overdraft: ~$250

One of the many weird things my dad left me was his #Fluke digital #multimeter. It's decades old, but Fluke is know for its high quality and it's still worth a small fortune. It was however incredibly dirty and in need of a thorough cleaning. Naturally I took it #apart, chugged some of it in the dishwasher, cleaned the rest by hand, relubed what need to be lubed and put the whole thing back together. With great #success, I might add. Feelt a bit like hanging out with my #dad again. Good times.
