Day Started Out OK

Posted on October 21, 2024 by larry

I was feeling alright in the morning, but a coworker today ruined my day at the end. In fact this was an extension from Friday.

Don’t want to bother too much, but I can’t stand them

Anker Solix C1000

Posted on October 20, 2024 by larry

Unpacked my Anker Power Station today. Looks impressive, I haven’t hooked up my phone to monitor it yet. But will review it a bit

Heavy Duty Shipping

The box could not be sent to an Amazon Locker, it had to come to my home directly. It was pretty heavy so having it sent to my home was better anyway.

Double Boxed

Being heavy, I am not surprised it was double boxed.

Anker Power Station C1000 Unpacked

It is still plugged in, but should be charged. Apparently I am supposed to charge it every three months or after use.

I can use it in passive mode though, let it recharge while I use it.

So this should be enough for my CPAP, I should be ready for the next power outage. New laptop, new power pack, new mobile internet.

Too Loud Too Hot

Posted on October 19, 2024 by larry

My plex media center my be getting evicted. It is pretty loud, there is a start difference in noise when it is off.

Worse, is that the heat is still there and drives are getting hot. Great concept bad design.

Not sure on its future.

Forgot My Watch

Posted on October 18, 2024 by larry

Went to work late and to make things worse, I forgot my watch.

I am posting this at about 8:06PM and my watch has 0 floors and less than 200 steps.

Bottom line a got a LONG, nearly 10k step way to go and I got less than 4 hours to do it. Pretty sure I can.

I am predicting I should be back home in time to edit this post, but posting early just in case. I am going to walk concourse A to D and see how many steps those are. If they are not enough, I am doing a normal loop around from my work area to light rail to car.

Update: Made it on time, it was 5k steps to start from the S entrance near A and all the way through A B C and D.

Garage Door Sensor

Posted on October 16, 2024 by larry

Got a new Zygbee sensor

It sends a message via Zigbee to Home Assistant and in turn homeassistent sends an MQTT message.

Been a long day, kind of quit early, needed it.

Deciding on PI Trip

Too much going on at home, things keep piling on me. Feel like I am ready to break.

There is not much to say today, but I feel like things are going backwards.

Too Tired To Clean

Posted on October 14, 2024 by larry

Was hoping to get some time this evening to clean my office, did not have that time.

Keep thinking there would be time at night after work, but that time is not there.

Going to work late does not help either.

Seeing if going to bed at 11PM will help.

Got Stuff Done

Posted on October 13, 2024 by larry

This weekend I had a few goals, all of them were started at least, and better yet most of were completed.

Getting my steps in really taxes me. Almost the end of the year, so I can switch out my goals. Should be more swimming and dieting.

Got Sleep Late Start

Posted on October 12, 2024 by larry

Went to bed at a decent time, I think 12 or 1AM, woke up at 11AM, so about 10 hours of sleep which is a lot for me. Unfortunately I did not get the a start early enough to get things done.

Got things happening at night, going to be close getting steps in. I am going to find a way so will mark it as done.

Also got some bad news, found out step father died today. He is in the Philippines, not sure what will happen. If I go, or my mom goes.
