ALARM!

Trade winds gently swinging the hammock. My NOOK has fallen flat against my chest. Lobster and Rice Pilaf for dinner. With seafood I enjoy a nearly frozen Negro Leon from Yucatan. With a twist of limon. High temp in the eighties today. A made-from-scratch coconut cream pie for dessert.

Any important spurious event is on a timer. I finally dropped the float to 13.22 for the Lifeline. Going to rig up another 5-amp floater for the toad and mount it permanently under the hood. With a hybrid starting battery (lead calcium oxide) negative plates, around 13.5 volts otter be perfect in these temps.

Upcoming chore: purchase 2-more Tenergy D cell NiMH batteries and holders and graft it onto my handy-dandy 190-LED floodlight. Should render 14-hours of very brighy light. Daylight is burning - gotta snooze...

Gotta love it! Sounds like life is good! Unfortunately the only thing I can relate to currently is the 80+ temp here in Tucson.
Keep on chillin!

Slacker!!!! What about that dumb phone with the smart owner, did ya get a decent LiIon fatty battery for that yet? Apple today just started selling wristband smartphones with a watch feature... $350 for an entry level one... the days of "Beam me up Scotty, this Planet sucks" are getting closer. Capt Jim Tiberius Kirk.

The package service is 1,310 miles round trip drive. And twenty-one dollars a month. So this month it's beans, tortillas, salt, chili, and music for me. I have a set of amber LED chips and 7-piece WiHa screwdriver set, up there, that has been gathering dust. Having major problems with the low volume on the phone. Everything is set to max, several youngsters say they can barely hear things. I use headphones. Even downloaded a volume boost App but it doesn't do a thing.

Beam someone else up - I'll walk. At least I'll get there. Extreme digital and I do not get along. It hates me.

That's some delivery window!

eBay items from Hong Kong, Singapore and Thailand take w a y longer to arrive than stuff from mainland China. Someone once remarked that China flies sixty jumbo jets a day to the USA loaded with packages. Big Airbus cargo jobs. A hundred tons each aircraft. Must be hard on runways...
