Month: June 2019 (Page 3 of 3)

–iPhone SE lost 20% of charge in roughly 24 hours (8:30 AM 6/9 to 10:00 AM 6/10).

–Played with regulators a lot. Found out Tekna/Ocean Edge IS adjustable, after you pull the knob off. Guessing there’s a built-in real-time adjuster on non-octopus models (if they exist). Reg is really flimsy: two screws hold the exhaust piece on, and the plastic threads had broken off one, so it was useless. Might have to buy the eBay Ocean Edge–the design does breathe easy.

–Compression ferrules came in. Buttoned everything up tight, still leaks like crazy. Crap. Back to o-rings I suppose.

–A warm day: 80+.

–Based on an Omega Forums post, I discovered that the screw in one of the pushers on my moonwatch had no slot (World Time serviced the watch). I replaced it with a slotted screw. Both screws were unslotted in the OF post. Doesn’t make any sense: it’s really tricky getting the screw in and out with a hemostat.

–Gouty toe flared up again. I may need to hydrate…

–Worked on Coffexes. Found evidence of leak at base of sight glass on the one I’ve been using. Ugly. Swapping out parts to build one nice machine.

–Warm day; showed 80 on our thermometer.

–Cleared ivy next to shed. Exhausted.

–Took a shower.

–Worked on Coffex all day. I hate Serto fittings.

–Replaced hearing aid battery around 6 PM.

–Brian from Nolf Electric came out to estimate on generator/transfer switch. Learned much. (1) Transfer switch (panel interlock) might be $500 installed. (2) It will serve whole house. (3) 4kw-5kw generator should suffice, and gas generators can be easily converted to run on propane.

–17th iPhone came in. Battery is 100%. Eureka!

–Got a 1″ haircut at Supercuts.

–Got an appointment for a hearing test at Costco for July 9 (!).

–Gloomy day.

–Much yard work; hurts.

–Lost right hearing aid doing yard work. Good excuse to upgrade.

–Went through the breaker panels again to tie up some loose ends. ID’d everything except shop, which I don’t really care about. Ready to tell electrician which circuits should be tied to generator.
