Day 309 - Stay Warm

South Berwick, ME

I broke down and finally got a heated liner this week. I've worn it the past few days and am still getting used to it. Right now, I have both the liner and my gloves on the same circuit. The jacket is much to warm for this arrangement. While I thought I needed to pick up another controller so that I can control the jacket and the gloves separately, I think I will try to throw a resistor inline to the jacket to allow me to run a higher heat setting to the gloves and not fry myself in the process. During the day, the jacket is warm and I am oblivious to the current draw. At night, my headlights actually pulse as the controller is PWM (Pulse Width Modulated) so the full current is drawn at an interval set by the controller.
