Pugsy's gone again...

[Goofproof]

Actually I have been on vacation.
My grandson was here and I took a vacation from the internet and the forum.
Probably needed a break anyway. My patience with the snarkiness was wearing thin and I was too tempted to tell the offenders to just go FO.

That's unfair.

I went to a few Snipe Hunts as a Boy Scout, never did see one. Snark Hunts are much easier to find, probably because they breed in dark areas. They also tend to run in packs. one starts squeaking, making it easy to track, then the others rush in and start squeaking too. Be sure to wear ear plugs when hunting them, the noise levels can become unbearable. Happy Hunting! Jim

OMG Thank you. I needed that after today and everything that has happened both here on the forum and personally.
Just had a bad day all the way around.

I gave you the morning off, woke up at 9:01 not able to breath, another power outage (storm damage they say 889 houses) thats twice in 11 days, you would thing we live rural not in a city of 75,000. We need the Wichita lineman, here bad. As with most jobs in the U S A., the people that were at their jobs retired or were let go, and replaced by two kids that don't know the job.4 hours later we have power, for now. Jim

I just hooked my cpap to a battery. Use it whenever I use my cpap, Life is Good.

OMG Bookbear, I love this meditation as someone who is not normally into it. Thank you so much.

Set yourself up to run on 12 volts, you can have a battery or 2, or you can sleep in your car or a neighbor's van or whatever. I was all set for 10 years until this new 24 volt resmed machine. Now I'll need to have 2 batteries in series or buy and use their inefficient step up transformer.

I suppose the second battery allows for me to run the humidifier so it's not necessarily a bad thing long term, just an inconvenience/worry until I get it all set.

their inefficient step up transformer.

the resmed power *converter* (not transformer) is supposed to be over 96% efficient, if I remember right.

boost converters are typically very efficient.

Well I am glad you are still here. You have been such a fabulous resource for me. I appreciate everything you do for the members of this forum.

Me too.
Without your wisdom (and that of others),
I feel I would surely croak.

Aw heck, I used to live in Minneapolis and we had brown outs and power outs regularly. Rarely anything beyond 30 minutes, but it was a pain considering it was a good sized city (you've heard of it, right?). Now, I live in a small city (63,000) and our county has its own power company and it takes pretty bad storms (or a squirrel fried on the line) to get a power out. Last year we had several longer power outs due not to storms but to stupid stuff involved with the re-construction of the feeder street at the end of our block.
