–Roasted some beans to a char. Take your eyes off ’em for a minute, or 20…
–Played with regulators. Got two good needle seats from eBay regs. Worked on my needle; got it going again. Patched the high-pressure hose with Flex Tape and got the pressure gauge going too.
–Played with iPod Nano. It’s dead, Jim. Ordered new battery.
–Mail finally came around 5 PM—Teknas, LG phone. Teknas seem to have good seats, phone is so-so.

–Made breakfast for dinner.
–Went to Shopper’s Corner, splurged on deli meat and cheese.
–Went to “farmers market” in Corralitos (2 stands at the Cultural Center near Corralitos Sausage).

–Played with regulators. Learned that “IP creep” means intermediate pressure is creeping UP, not down. Much to learn…
–Steinhart Ocean 39 Explorer came in. As usual, lume color is just too weird.

–Right hearing aid battery died around 7 PM.

–Actually got a Tekna to breathe with my jerry-rigged valve seat. Eureka!
