Hokum, balderdash, and hooey.

I now have both computers I use running on Lance's house batteries, so I no longer have to turn on my inverter to use my laptops. This was made pretty simple by ordering a universal laptop charger that plugs into a cigarette lighter plug in the camper, which runs off the camper's batteries, and stumbling upon the information that my 18-inch Asus laptop can run off a USB-C plug, just not at the full power that it has when plugged into AC power. But that's okay; I'm still testing it to see if it has the power to do 95% of what I need, and for the remaining 5% I can turn on the inverter for a few minutes to speed through video rendering and other tasks that require a lot of RAM. I'm hoping this will help me get through the cloudy, rainy weather that is predicted for Arizona this winter.

It just so happens that cloudy, rainy weather tends to keep me inside the camper, where I use the computers more than I normally would, and of course it's that same kind of weather that keeps me from charging my batteries.

Of course, after all of this worry and concern for my future travels, it's very possible that most of my weather concerns could be a bunch of hokum, balderdash, and hooey made up by the weather guessers as clickbait, and I may find out that Arizona will have eight cloudy days a month instead of four, which won't amount to nothing.

After all, when I looked at the long-range weather forecast for Arizona last winter, I don't remember any mention of weeks' worth of cloudy days that actually occurred, and really strained my boondocking abilities. But I survived that, so I guess I can survive anything that the weather throws at me.

Extremely rare snow-white crow. Only a sharp eye. And my unmatched skill at spotting rare birds let me identify this crow.
