Did an amateur radio contest this weekend. Our local noise level was S0, so we were able to hear *everything*. So many stations couldn't hear us because their local noise level was a lot higher. Kinda frustrating, but maybe the lesson is to call CQ and wait for others to come to us?

After a bit of DDG'ing, I've found a couple of examples that filter water from the shower and send it back to the water heater. Seems quite expensive on filters and any dissolved salt is going to trash the water heater. A cheaper option might be to coarse filter the shower water and send it back to the cold side of the shower thermostatic mixer. This would also recover some heat.

2024-08-07 18:04:32

Is this a dumb idea?
The problem with showering in a motorhome is that you have a limited amount of water to play with. But could you use it more than once?
Due to the structure of the undercarriage of my van, I might have to have two grey water tanks: one for the shower and one for the kitchen sink.
In the same space as the shower is a cassette toilet that uses a small amount of water to flush. Could I take the water to flush the toilet from the shower waste tank via a submersible pump?

Only in part. I didn't feel it was appropriate to respond directly because I did not wish to detract from your main point. I'm probably also a little bit too sensitive to it being used as a perjorative because that happens a lot here in the media and politics, and has poisoned a lot of social discussion by othering. Which is the point, I guess.

They do it with the subsidised bus fares in England as well. You pay a maximum of £2 and the government pays the rest, so if your destination is more than £2 awa, the driver will sell you a ticket to the end of the line.

Mood has recovered significantly, but I will be trying for a GP appointment in the morning nevertheless, because today was dangerous. Getting back on the Citalopram will make it more difficult to lose weight for future surgery (which I could really do with), but surviving is more important.

I'm good, but thank you for the offer.

In the morning I will try to get an appointment to see my GP. This is easier said than done in the UK, but I'm going to try. I need to get back onto an SSRI ASAP. The weight gain may be a problem, but it's less of an issue than suicidal ideation right now. Delaying surgery is an acceptable compromise for staying alive.
