Good morning. The game was nerve racking.

Good Morning! And I agree Windsor... I was holding my breath down the stretch last night. I'd have never thought Kelly was such an important cog but the evidence is obvious...

Good morning. The ACC network sucks.

Good morning.

I was throwing things last night. I think my shooting percentage was better than the team's from 3 point land....But it was a win, and I'll take those however they come.

Good morning. Finally. At 3:00 am a transformer up the street blew, and it went dark. I was awakened by the beeping of the UPS in my bedroom (Uninterruptible Power Supply, not the little brown trucks ). I called 911 to report it. About 15 minutes later I looked out the bedroom window because I heard a big truck idling, thinking it was the power company already. It was a fire truck with its red lights flashing. I got dressed and went to find out why. When the transformer blew, the 2 feet of wooden pole above it caught fire! It was out at this point, but in the light of my flashlight I could see it was blackened and half gone!

The power company got there about 4:30 and replaced the pole and the transformer. At 9:25 a.m., power was restored!

Now, it's time to get some

My bigger, newer UPS on my desktop computer (plus cable modem, router, etc.) failed last night. The batteries don't hold a charge anymore, so the equipment crashed. No damage, but now I've got to either replace the batteries (~$60) or replace the whole unit at Costco or Sam's Club for ~$100. Not sure what I'll do tomorrow when I'm in Raleigh, but I'll do one or the other.

This UPS was made in 2008 and I bought it 4 to 5 years ago. UPS batteries generally last 3 to 5 years, depending on how much they are used. As they age, the retain less and less of their capacity, so they support the load for shorter times. This is normal, a characteristic of the beast. My support time is showing on the display as 0 minutes.

Good morning.

In the "hey, you kids, get off my lawn!" realm, the varnish zone schools are opening two hours late because of wind and cold (HARRUMPH! I went to Christian school, which meant I stood outside in the cold waiting for the bus IN A DRESS), so the office is officially a day care this morning.

What? You had a BUS? No walking miles through waist deep snow uphill (both ways)...

Costco had a Cyber Power 1350 VA unit for $90, 3-year warranty, similar features as the old APC 1250 VA unit. I couldn't see putting $60 worth of batteries in the old unit. (Sam's had an APC 1350 VA unit, but that was $155 plus tax. If that had been my only option, I would have gone with new batteries in the old unit.)

Good morning! Game day! I'm going meeting two women today to shoot pics for a portrait series that I am working on, the first was the last painting I posted in latest works. Tomorrow I am going to Greenville to take pics of another one. Between photos and sports, my weekend has already filled up.
