Thursday

We had a Dr. appointment this morning, so we didn’t have much of a breakfast. We decided to go to Longhorn’s for dinner because we were both pretty hungry.

We dropped off some batteries and bought a new battery for the Focus. Originally I was going to replace the battery in the blue focus that we’re not driving. I have changed my mind and will put the new battery in the silver focus. Then take that battery and put it into the blue Focus.

Pulled the Nevada Hue Hub from my Hue account so I can change the settings while away from my network. (Without having to VPN into that subnet.)

Bought a new video conferencing light, our lights have gotten significantly more yellow over the last several months. It comes with a 2A adapter, but the lights also draw 2A so the power supply gets terribly hot.

It came to pass that the 18V 30W power supply for the Echo Show is a good source of power for DC-DC converters. 18V is 3x the voltage which equates to 1/3 the current for the USB converters. I can charge 2 phones, 1 tablet, a VPN router, a Magic Jack telephone AND an Echo show off of just one 18V power supply. It came in really handy in the cabin!

Friday

Replaced the battery in the Blue Focus, $199 seemed really high until I checked the Autoparts stores.
