a Power Glitch

b/c the neighbours needed an extension cord. I lent the one powering the Xmas tree.

I ran out this morning and hooked the tree back up for the morning - shine to fight the gray day ( P.S. Its 8 AM and still as dark as 7 AM despite sun up ) < P.P.S. 10:30 & dim goes on >

 Rain fell overnight 

Our window at night


Why  Because no one has been in the house since the stair lift repair guy. The dishwasher repair guy. The oven repair man. Hey, did I forget a repair guy ?????

 Thus, who could have seen this great set up

The Gadget Explosion or Tech ed to the gills

A PC tower and peripherals in the beginning, all hard wired

Then a Dell 19 inch laptop, portable and eventually to be the PC s replacement plugged in. Which truly did happen

A baby laptop, e Machine, b/c 19 inches of laptop is too much to haul to Florida, but wireless

A Chromebook laptop as the eMachine failed or couldn't cut it

The house goes wireless,  the modem powers TVS, phones and internet

Two G8 cell phones which are really micro tablets in disguise

A Chome Duet ( 1/2 laptop and 1/2 tablet )

And as a Xmas gift, a real tablet called Tab 10

The summary is that something is always charging in the house. However, the upside is all devices charge via Type C plugs - meaning 1 cord and power block could charge them all < separately of course >

AND in 10 days, the house goes all future - techie w/ central controlled alarm system and monitoring. The automated house begins. Alright, who is at the front door - 'we know ' or will in ten days. Spooky.

Whatever, happened to a baseball bat under the bed or tin can and string - Kittyhawk and gliding into the future
