Went to Corsicana today, accomplished three things.
#1.
Did a semi-scientific study for actual mileage on the "open road" both to and from using cruise control.
By running @ 56 mph on the way down, I was nearly 100% (98.88%) on target with the projected and stored mileage, temp was 72 degrees, had the fan on, but was not running A/C.
By running @ 64 mph on the way back, I was 93% efficient between the projected and the stored mileage, A/C might have been on.
I was in a bit of a hurry on the way back, and had ample miles to "play" with, so I was.
Yes, I could have driven faster, but I needed to gain complete confidence in the car's ability to estimate miles and my ability to persevere with cars and trucks buzzing by at higher speeds.
Score: complete PASS
#2.
Picked up a Pumpkin Fudge pie from Collin Street Bakery for tonight's party.
Score: complete SUCCESS
#3.
Had the good fortune to meet the crew and forewoman/project manager working @ the site on a Sunday afternoon.
Not your typical installation, rain had finally stopped, and ground was workable enough to dig (by machine and hand).
LOTS of concrete had to be cut and removed, lots of hand digging to lay underground conduit. Very narrow green space behind the rear of the existing curb to the adjacent sidewalk that the Contractor's needed to maintain. And they had to bore and install the conduit from the existing transformer location to the new location for the ESVE racks and equipment under the existing concrete parking area, bored about 250 linear feet.
Electric Company is to visit site tomorrow, and review/approve before they can start back-filling holes and trench, then set formwork and pour concreted for
their new transformer. Transformer is long distance from rest of equipment.
Parking spaces are situated at premium corner of property for highest visibility.
Showed my MS to the forewoman, she had never seen one, nor had the crew.
Big "Thumbs Up" from all of them.
This is the first Supercharger installation for this crew.
Once they have completed this installation, they are moving up the road a bit to Pleasant Prairie, WI.
Score: In spite of the wet weather, the crew is making major headway. If I have time next weekend, will stop by again. Anticipate conduits to be nearly done, concrete work to be well underway, unless the weather turns wet/sour on them again.
