I woke up at 7:30 and played games for quite a while. Then it was up for pet stuff and breakfast. It was a little warmer, 50 - but it was also raining a little.
The first order of business was to replace the battery in the UPS. There were 7 devices plugged into it. I unplugged them all and labelled them. Replacing the battery itself was a little difficult because the manufacturer used very short battery leads.
After that I did a little surfing and then started working on the lights for the small power wagon. I ended up making three trips to the garage to get parts and tools. Poor planning.
I really didn't want to work on it when I started. It was almost like a chore. I warmed up to it and actually started enjoying myself. I soldered the resistors to all 4 LEDs. I also wired up the taillights and installed them. I would have done more, but I have to wait for the connectors.
That was pretty much it for accomplishments today. The rest of the day and evening was spent looking at videos.
Ellen fixed salmon for dinner. It was great.
After dinner I ended up watching a 2 hour long video of a crew cutting down huge dead maple tree. It was overhanging two buildings. A guy climbed up in the tree, tied ropes to the branches, and cut the branch loose. They used a large crane to hook up to the branches and lift them away. It took them 3 days to cut it down.
