From 2019 I am living a more relaxed life. After 35 years I am retired from engineering practice.
You can expect me to mention retirement projects, travel and of course the beloved.
My hobbies may include nature, camping, repair, and reading.

Native Hibiscus

Solar photovoltaic power is installed. My old meter is soon to be replaced but for now is spins backwards when the sun shines.
400 turns = 1 kilowatt-hour.
