Subj : PoE Window Passthroug To : Daryl Stout From : Barry Martin Date : Wed Dec 31 2025 08:14:00 Hi Daryl! BM> I'm thinking it was Alka-Seltzer... Yep. Also "I can't BM> believe I ate the whoooooole thing". DS> You ate it, Ralph. I was thinking more Mikey in the old Life ceral commercials. BM> They're green? ...Oh, wrong 'wicked'. DS> Only if they're Irish, or Roswellian. Apparantly Bostonian too. I was raised 50 miles north and don't recall the 'wicked' phrasing. BM> Even with a generator (we have one) still want some sort of BM> short-term power. The generator takes about 23 seconds to BM> repower the house so want UPSs on computers, the hardware for BM> the Internet access, and some lighting. Here the lighting is a BM> combination of powered by some of the computer UPSs and BM> plug-in. Flashlights in the drawer are great, but one has to BM> find them in the dark first! DS> A shin is the device used to find furniture in the dark. Works quite well! BM> (S.N. Almost 100% of the 'emergency lighting' around here was BM> done years prior to the generator install. Quite a bit BM> probably is no longer needed with the generator but handy to BM> have.) DS> I wish I had been able to get a Generac Generator. I'd look into a decent portable one. Need to make sure outputs as close to a sine wave as possible; the cheap ones put out a square wave which can ruin electronics. And now just about everything has some sort of electronic module in it: furnance, refrigerator. And of course don't use in an attached garage, nor outside near a window: gas fumes! I don't recall the distance but should be easily found or someone here knows. The other thing is might be able to get by with a smaller portable generator: just don't run everything at once! Here originally considering a 'partial house' generator to save money. I don't need emergency power in the Dining/Family Room and not even the bedroom but I certainly am going to have my Computer Room powered! Furnace and central air, yes. Refrigerators (have 2 + freezer), yes -- but here comes the 'fun' part: they don't need to be powered constantly. Keep the door closed and stays cold inside for several hours. BM> You're the Visible Man? (Anatomical model kit: remove BM> chest/abdomen piece, access the individual organs. ...Surgeon BM> was confused when opened his first patient: no colour-coded BM> innards!) DS> He hadn't played "Operation" enough. Wonder if anyone has prepped themselves for surgery by sticking LEDs to their abdomen and a battery and contact stick?! BM> I thought abdomens came in six-packs, buns in pairs, Frank came BM> out one at a time but the twins Pete and Repete.... DS> You have too much time on your hands. I'm retired and they said to keep my mind active! ¯ ® ¯ BarryMartin3@MyMetronet.NET ® ¯ ® .... What did the Gingerbread Man put on his bed?
