Pellet heads!! What's up today?

Always thinking there, IHP. That's usually when I do my experimenting too.

Agree w/ you that B shouldn't have any issue w/ a newer Cyberpower UPS feeding one of the APC units she has now: the Cyberpower units will auto-shutdown before the battery is completely drained, and the APC units she has are the newer units with the vented casing (& better circuitry),

vs. the older style, non-vented 'solid brick' units. ( I see a fair amount of overheat / melting / scorching @ the battery leads on the older 'brick' and old style smaller 'metal can' APC units. The larger older Back & Smart-UPS units w/ case fans are good, and worth rehabbing / keeping.

Would recommend that B does a standalone run-time test on the APC units though, just to make sure the batteries are good -> to prevent any possible issue. (Mr. Safety here, no reason to trash a control board, due to any sort of battery issue.. If it runs good on it's own, no reason it couldn't be fed by the larger Cyberpower UPS. )

 

is it beer thirty yet???????????????????

 

Why yes, yes it is artc

 

Some good stuff there!

 

Thanks, and keeping the Wine inventory levels up so my loving wife is Happy .. Each box should be good for 'one free pass'.
I may need to buy more Wine.

 

Sam Adams Cold Snap here. This stuff is so good, wish it was available year round.

 

must be a euphemism for a happy ending, don't you think????????

 

Yumm. Good stuff ! Hannaford's Keene had a special for Miller Lite 18 pack for $12.99, couldn't pass it up today.. Sammy's next week.

Well, it's either that or here artc But hey, one can always hope! I'm trying to be very, very, very good!

 

Now listening to The Planet Man episode 2 Orbit the Moon.

 

now that's what i'm talkin' about! good plan!
working till 12 at the pellet house, then off with Kathryn to buy a CL crib for the grandson when he overnights. he's 6 months now, and sits up without toppling over.

 

Good luck w/ the Buggy service there Jay - hope all goes well. * Make sure you check the fluids / oil level, B4 you leave the dealership.

More sn*w removal here today - driveway cleanup, back deck, back roof, and climbing up on the front porch roof .. Trying to avoid the driveway & crawlspace underneath from turning into a giant mud puddle.

Then back to work on gathering bits & bytes for doing 2016 taxes.. Ugh, today is gonna suck.

Have a great day everyone !

 

It is here

 

Same brand that my Honey likes she prefers the " Refreshing White " Rob I'm disappointed Man that's only an 18 box of white Smoothies

 

No, this is specific to the Harmans. That particular APC model is one that Harman has tested against to make sure that feature works. Harman recommends one of two UPS's - that is the one I picked. It probably also works with other brands, but since I found them on sale for <$80 each (a couple years ago), I decided that the APC was the way to go.

 

Gonna be a Top 10 Day here for Feb . blue sky , no wind , and mid 50's

 

Started test. Here are pics, little one plugged into the wall, bigger one plugged into the little one. Next pic is little one unplugged from the wall. The batteries on the little one are about 5 years old. Die for replacement. Run time was 40 prior to unplugging. As soon as I unplugged it, it dropped to 23

 

I will let this run until little one goes out and switches to the bigger unit. I also have a stop watch going to see how long the little one goes for. Top estimate is 20 min. Or so.

 

I have to dig out the propane tanks as they should deliver next week. Those tanks sit under the eave of the house which is about 3' wide, so they are protected. Only issue is that the snow dump from the roof piles in front of them so the delivery guy may not be too impressed with the mountain he has to climb

Also need to dig out the front porch from roof dumpage. I don't use the front door, but it is always nice to have a 3rd escape route besides the basement and the back door, just in case.
