(2024-06-17) Wind of change, part 2
-----------------------------------
Today, the turbine is finally operational. Now I just have to wait for a
consistent stream of wind with the speed above 3.5 m/s to appear at my 
location. 11 m/s, they say, is optimal, but it's not the season now. This is 
why a 5.6 kW solar panel array also is in my plans. I'm being told, however, 
that this will take the entire June and probably half of July, so that's a 
longer term than I thought. Well, I'm catching up to what should have been 
done a year or two ago, and doing that as quickly as humanly possible.

Given that, the KS0 Pro is being tested from the mains only but I'll probably
turn it off this evening. Being this small, it still is a tremendous heat 
source, I think I can use this in the autumn/winter but now it doesn't seem 
to be as helpful. Nevertheless, even with the current KAS price, it would 
fully pay for the electricity it consumes, it's just not that simple for me 
to go for it where I have to live right now, so I'm gonna wait until a fully 
self-sustainable solution is implemented.

Other than that, I don't really have a lot to tell about. Oh well, looks like
my Casio DB-36 is about 18 s/mo slow. I don't know if it's going to gain or 
lose anything within the two remaining days but I'm mildly disappointed. I 
mean, it's not as bad as the W-800H I already got rid of, but I do have some 
mech Orients that are more accurate than that across the month. I still 
stand firmly upon my position that the main function of a wristwatch is to 
tell the time, and the accuracy of doing so is the main measurement of its 
quality. Yes, materials and design come after: even the most perfect looking 
watch is useless for me if it constantly lies to me about what time it is 
now or isn't capable of being useful on the wrist 24/7 for various reasons 
(need of charging, low WR etc). And, to be honest, it saddens me that even 
some mechs can be regulated at home to improve their accuracy but most 
non-sync digitals can't. Either way, I'm returning to my PMD56 within two 
days as the ultimate relief for my watch anxiety.

I think the name of this post is perfect for some of non-topical musings
about my everyday thoughts, so, most likely, there will be more parts. Stay 
tuned.
