Up 6:15. \u00a0Attempted to get an internet connection, it connected, but no data would go through. \u00a0After about 4 or 5 tries, did finally connect well enough to get a couple of text messages back and forth. Breakfast was some sort of mixed veggies on rice. \u00a0I ate the veggies, left 90% of the rice. \u00a0Packed up most all of my tools and we headed to the first school. \u00a0Things went well, got the screen back up over the vent outside. \u00a0Sent Brandon and Ian into the attic to handle that part of the work. \u00a0The battery box was installed and wired into the solar panel and it started charging the battery. \u00a0I disassembled a couple of the light fixtures and verified that my mounting technique will work. \u00a0It all looked great and we managed to mount 1 light before lunch and got it wired in so it would actually light. \u00a0A small kid came in and sold us a monster pineapple for less than $1. \u00a0Back to the camp for lunch, rice and zebu, not impressed, ate the zebu left most of the rice. \u00a0Mark D. had requested we take a picture at both lunch time and 12:00 UTC. \u00a0I snapped a picture of us at the lunch table. \u00a0UTC is later. \u00a0By 2:30 we had the second set of lights on. \u00a0Progress has been very good, everybody is happy. \u00a0All lights up. And running by 5:00 with cables in conduit. \u00a0Only thing left is to put a hasp on it so it can be locked. \u00a0Back to camp. \u00a0Internet seems to connect, but can’t get any data to go. \u00a0Text messages and mail just don’t go anywhere. \u00a0Dinner was spaghetti and ground zebu. I was hungry so it was good. \u00a0Kate brought in a fresh pineapple and it was very good. \u00a0We are saving the monster one for Sunday when more of the volunteers will be here. \u00a0After dinner, it will be time to take a shower in the dark. Ok I feel a bit cleaner now even if this is well water, not warmed. \u00a0Internet has been flaky, hard to even get text messages out, but things improved enough to touch base with Antje. \u00a0Suppose I will post my journal and call it a night. \u00a0We leave the Kianjavato area a week from tomorrow.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
