Status: Rain should be clearing, but bitter cold air arrives tomorrow.
Plans: Run church services, and seal off the Chimney from the cold.
Narrative: The refrigerator UPS was faulted after replacing the batteries yesterday. There was nothing in the logs or the operational readings that would suggest something really wrong. The battery voltage WAS unusually low like 25.2, unusual for batteries being on charge. (Like the charger in the UPS gave up.) I disconnected the four banks of batteries and put a quick charge on them with an external charger. I connected just one of the four banks and tried restarting the ups OS. That didn’t clear the light so completely shut down the UPS and restarted it. (Which did clear the fault.) I reconnected the banks one at a time until all four banks were connected. I then connected an external charger on them to quickly bring them back up to full charge. I cut off the charger remotely and the batteries dropped to 27.2, which is ok. I’ll watch them for the next couple days, it feels likely that the batteries had not gone through enough cycles to be fully formed.
Wife got up first and made some eggs and toast for me, I got in the shower while the eggs were cooking. Headed out to church about 7:50 and got back about 12:15. Had some crackers and took a good two hour nap.
A friend of mine wanted some advice on his home network, spent about three hours over there before I got back to the homestead.
Tomorrow: Bitter cold, maybe try and find Nancy a phone.
