Status: Liquid ant bait works very well, we’ll have to wait and see about the roach hotels.
Theme: Keep sorting and putting away items that were brought back from Florida.
Narrative: The tubs, baskets and boxes that were used to haul things back n forth to Florida carry an unsorted array of stuff. It will take a couple days to resort them deciding what is worth keeping and what can be tossed. The next trip to Florida the car needs to be pretty empty to carry the materials left in Florida on this trip.
A friend of ours had an “Ole Brooklyn Lantern” that they bought off a TV commercial. I found several on mom’s farm in various forms of decay. I can get one new from EBAY and other sources for about $20. The good thing is that two D cell batteries carry a significant amount of power. Depending on how bright the variable attenuator is set to the batteries can last a really long time. The bad is that the switch on the brightness control seems to be the fail point of the lantern. (Other than leaving batteries to corrode the terminals.) I also am believing a reviewer that said the big brand “D” corrodes more often than the big brand “E” batteries.
Did it mention it was like 25 degrees outside this morning. For Atlanta, that’s COLD!
We did wake up to a pile of dead ants on the kitchen counter this morning, apparently the liquid ant bait works pretty well. It comes in four rather tall clear plastic containers with a wick material on the top for the ants to retrieve the poison from.
I put a camera on three 60W light bulbs that were being run from three batteries that were being checked for capacity. They should be able to run the 60W incandescent bulb for about an hour each. Looks
I checked the cameras at the farm, no water spraying that I could see, I did want to put a light on the big well so that I could tell if it was running. Never got to it.
Had to drive East on 78 past Tim’s house to get my water tank for my CPAP today. Boo! But, that was something on my list to get done today.
I’ve spent the last couple of hours working on the tubs/baskets on the living room floor. There’s about 50% more floor showing than there was yesterday.
Engineering: Traveling CPAP’s? We are getting our first resupply of CPAP consumables, of real importance is a spare mask. The Wife’s mask is unique and she has had no spare to fall back onto. When we get our supplies next week I plan to retire her current mask into a pair of “Traveling CPAPs” that will stay in the car. (I have two spare machines.) That way if we get stranded at our son’s house (As an example), we can safely sleep there without worrying about getting our CPAPs which are likely still at our bedside. We’ll also have a spare for every component of our two machines in case of accidental damage/failure while traveling. If we travel with our current machines I’ll carry just ONE of the traveling units as a spare. (Since we’ll have three machines with us.) The only other addition if we’re traveling by car may be some kind of backup power. (Batteries with an Inverter.) It didn’t make sense to me to buy two $80.00 DC power cables when an Inverter is roughly $40.00 that can drive both machines. (I did buy two spare AC power supplies since a power spike could take out both machine power supplies at the same time.)
