Narrative: I was awake very early and I’ve had this itchy spot next to my eye for a bit. Normally when I’ve gotten Basil Cell Carcinoma it’s surface is flaky like dandruff. These are itchy, but not scaly on the surface. (At least not yet.) Now that I know what to look for, they don’t get very big before I see a doc. Now that I am on Medicare I don’t have to have a referral, just make an appointment!
They are still quite small, but I have an appointment tomorrow with the skin doc. I’ve had cancer cut out of my nose and a very tiny one cut out of my ear lobe. (The Doc didn’t see that one for a whole year, I had to point it out to him.) The rest of the time they’ve frozen the lesion and I was good to go. We get a full body scan once a year.
We installed six systems in Nevada, Hours of backup power, Fortigate Firewall with VPN remote network access, Eight D-Link wireless cameras, Six VeSync outlets to turn appliances On/Off, Eight Hue Light Bulbs with Hue Hub, Home Assistant (Automation) to log the house humidity and temp.
The only anomaly at present is the camera for the front door has moved significantly from it’s original position. But luckily we can still see the entire ramp! Hopefully the systems will hold together until we return.
I saw in the news that Coffee prices are skyrocketing so we put in an order for 16 bags of our Favorite Coffee.
We got CPAP supplies yesterday from Aerocare and they shipped a mismatched mask and supplies for an older mask. We called them and now they are shipping the correct supplies and we have to send the supplies we got yesterday back to them.
If we have a power outage in Nevada this alarm will go off waking us up.
Then we can use the house network UPS to power our units overnight. (Not sure how we’d charge the batteries, solar would be a good option?)
The Air conditioning is keeping up with the extreme 115 Degree temperatures pretty well. (I’ll get worried if it doesn’t cycle in the middle of the day.) The thermostat is set to 78 degrees, i’ll put a NEST on the house next trip out so that I can manage/control the temp remotely. The short cycling from the bathroom vent is helping keep the humidity up during the heat of the day.
Laid out some Weed+Feed to knock down the Creeping Charlie that has taken over our lawn.
