    I started April 16th on Francis. Last time on Francis in 2018, same dates. Only one night this trip, I didn't need my very lightweight (50f) quilt. All but one night, "somebody" opened the windows. Glad I have my quilt and beanie hat. 6 of the 7...

    Obviously "they" means something different in Norway. "They" means "not me, somebody else, I don't know". Katar1na asked if I got an explanation for the discrepancy and the answer was clearly no explanation available.

    This was my husband. So many thanks to all of my fellow pilgrims who stopped to help and to pray and to translate for me. He was doing what he loved. Thank you for the news article link.

    Bob P reacted to davebugg's post in the thread What’s the difference between my two chargers? with Like Like.
    Naw. . . I just pulled it out of thin air. I guess installing solar systems on homes and RVs and dealing with charge controllers from 12 to 48v and inverter/charger installs on multi Kw/Hr battery banks made me forget my place. Sorry.

    Bob P replied to the thread What’s the difference between my two chargers?.
    The basic early chargers were rated 5 watt, 10w or even more. They all used standard 5 volt charging voltage and had various component weights. The Quick chargers are different. They communicate with compatible devices and vary the charging...
