Sunshine and blue skies two days in a row! We desperately needed the rain but we are grateful for a break. Things - like the horses paddocks - need a chance to dry out. I need a chance to get the grass cut. And our solar water heater needs some sun to warm up.
Passive solar water heaters are great as long as the sun shines (and there is water). Three or four days with out sun - like this week - and the water cools off. Some solar water heaters have an electric element that will keep the water warm/hot during periods of no sun but using electric to heat water like that sort of defeats the purpose of a solar water heater, at least in my mind.
For now, the water is on and the sun is shining. There should be a nice warm shower after I cut the grass.
By the way, the 2019 hurricane season starts - now.
