*Meaning of the different color markings on this heat storage unit:
If the energy storage unit lights up green, it is taking over the heat supply independently.
If sufficient renewable energy sources are available to generate electricity, EVH reduces power plant operation to a minimum, possibly even to zero. Little to no fuel is required. The heat is supplied from …

November 6, 2024,fast fünfzig zu Mittag

at lunchtime back to the lower left (southwest) corner of the airfield in Schkeuditz.
It turns out that this route fits very well between lunchtime and coffee - a reasonable length, a bit varied... plus frequent headwinds (not today) and today really nice high fog - autumn after all

Weather good, about a two-hour window, which makes for a wonderful trip to the southwest corner of the airport in Schkeuditz.
But what you should always remember beforehand - on the way back (from Schkeuditz) there was a headwind, which is completely normal there

November 20, 2024,auf dem Elsterdamm + Regen + Schneeregen + viel Wind

It was supposed to be a midday breath of fresh air and it went quite well. Yesterday's rain made some places quite soft - and in one place a construction project produced really thick mud.
On the bridge over the railway in Schkeuditz it suddenly became really stormy. The few meters after that through Wehlitz to under the motorway bridge …

Beautiful weather... in the truest sense of the word - clouds, sun, wonderful light, at the end a few (very few hints of) drops of rain + and wind, wind, wind...
such wind - if someone had given away a few feathers, you would definitely have taken off.
So you had to be careful not to run over any of …

I actually had a description here in the comments for a short time - now it's gone... real devilish stuff, so again:

...Schkeuditz = airport round trip (i.e. round trip TO the airport + back).
And it was really Dutch conditions:
Flat, on the dike (way back) and a nice headwind

June 17, 2024,Flughafen Leipzig/Halle Südwestecke

Lunchtime round trip to the bottom left corner (southwest) of Schkeuditz Airport.
On the way there we went over beautiful cobblestones and past grain fields, then back along the White Elster to Döllnitz, then to Ammendorf and then you're right back there (so not that far = good route for a lunchtime excursion)

Round trip to the corner of the airfield in Schkeuditz
Well, when the wind is constantly hitting you from all sides, you need a little distraction. There were only sheep in one place (there were a bit too many to count), so I just counted churches - i.e. only those that I could see from the route
