7/18/2017 @ 1522hrs…sorry…UPS stands for Uninterrupted Power Supply (gives you a couple of minutes of “backup battery power” to properly close computer programs during a power outage – or TV, whatever sensitive equipment could be damaged). It really is bothersome to me when folks use acronyms without definition like I just did – sorry but my excuse was impending power failure! lol Just turned off the AC to protect the compressor from potential damage if this keeps up. PG&E is of course swamped with all the fire related outages. The sheriff’s incident report was heavily represented with welfare checks for people and animals. (Naturally my first thoughts are of the human beings affected, but do not forget the untold number of domesticated and indigenous animals running in fear of the approaching fire – if not confined.)
ANYWAY…..

[OLD POST] …power is flickering now – UPS to computer signaling! 1517hours – later! 1537hrs – power OK so far. Better cook a quick frozen pizza just in case!
