Monday morning had us up early loading the truck.

Hulk followed me around all morning and stood by the back door of the truck, wanting to go camping with us.
This breaks my heart every time, as I love taking her with us, and Hulk is an excellent, albeit oversized, traveling companion who is always well behaved.

We were on the road long before sunup, sadly without Hulk.

We hit the job site about 7:30, only to discover that we had misplaced a set of keys and forgot our bag of clean laundry for the week. 😬😬😬
After Denise and I spent a few minutes attempting to blame the other for the mornings mishaps, we finally decided it was both of our fault. 😄😄
Fortunately, we had spare keys and spare laundry in the RV, so disaster was diverted.

First on Mondays agenda-after we recovered from our brain farts of forgotten shit we need-was an inspection for the array wiring that involved the site owners, project engineers, general contractor, and project management company. Everyone had to basically sign off on and approve of the work completed out at the array site. Fortunately, everyone was happy and even impressed with the work done there. Not surprisingly, everybody was also more interested in what was going on with all the cool batteries, inverters and panels at the Equipment pad.😄😄🤷‍♂️

Once that inspection was over, Denise and I got to work and resumed terminating all of the big wire in the big panels in preparation for the rapidly approaching commissioning date.

I forgot to get late night pictures, but by 8 o’clock we called it quits and had another three of the large panels fully terminated and ready to go. The big panels with the big 500 MCM wire are extremely challenging and time-consuming and are pretty hard on my old elbows and hands.
