Month: March 2019 (Page 3 of 4)

–Went to World Time to pick up overhauled Rolex 5512. Sweet!

–Two Tekna regs came in. Both have very slow leaks at diaphragm. One bad needle (gooey), one good. Both cases broke where silicone exhaust diaphragm fastens. High pressure hose works for pressure gauge.

–After a lot of back-and-forth on the phone, got signed up at Caremark (as bf@bstat.com, Froggy11) so I can maybe initiate mail-order drugs.

–Apex spring came in. I blew the disassembly, so may have to tear it down extensively before I can put it back together again. RTFM

–Changed clocks.

–Took a walk on the beach.

–Deposited Golden 1 check at Bay Federal, had lunch at McDonald’s, bought deodorant and jam at Target.

–World Time called to say Rolex 5512 is ready.

–Grace’s chair pillow came in, as did the close-out cashier’s check from Golden 1.

–Took a shower.

–Not much to report.

–Got Grace’s voicemail notification working.

–Replaced hearing aid batteries around 8 PM.

–Played with regulators. Discovered that diaphragms in purge valves differ in weight and (thus) stiffness. Stiffer ones breathe harder, by slowing deflection of tilt needle. Optimized two “keeper” regulators with 1.0g diaphragms.

–Roasted decaf beans.

–Carter knife came in. Meh for now.

–Played with Teknas.

–Fed the birds.

–Went to Aqua Safari to get a SCUBA tank refill.

–Tried to put new faceplate and buttons on iPod Classic. Failed miserably. The ribbon connectors on those things are absurdly hard to deal with. Ordered another iPod.
