Jim Price 3/02/2019 8:10 AMI am digging in now! I am going to determine what few sources of energy I need to have on all day (ie. alarm clock, refrigerator, etc...) and make sure everything else is not just turned off but cut from power sources (stereo, tv, computer, charging devices, etc..) so there are no vampires!
