I like coffee because it gives me the illusion that I might be awake<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The cold didn’t leave, but is tolerable. Enough for me to chop ice and snow for melt in my bathrobe and snow boots.<\/p>\n

No fire to melt on, just room temp.<\/p>\n

I have more freight at the post office, but one package is lost between Ontario and here. I will wait another day before going in.<\/p>\n

Today I would like to wire the 12v port by the bed. I found the spool of red wire just need to find the black, some connectors hold downs and screws then I am ready.<\/p>\n

I put the shelf up last night in the dark. Couldnt wait. The best part I have a cup holder,\u00a0 and soon I can charge my phone laptop and tablet right by the bed.<\/p>\n

Oh and most important besides the cup holder I can monitor battery bank voltage. No more squinting accross the room trying to read the tiny voltemeter at my desk.<\/p>\n

\nI have been working for an hour or more. Most of that just hunting for parts. The problem is I put them all in a safe place. Only I don’t keep safe places in memory.<\/p>\n

Every hunt is more like detective work. I think where would I have put those, what is the most logical place. I start looking there.<\/p>\n

I also try to remember what I was doing with what I am looking for last. That unfortantely that method is becoming less reliable as I get older.<\/p>\n

Now I know why I like crime mysteries so much. Sadly the only crime here is that my memory has been stolen.<\/p>\n

I managed to run the wire through the floor, and over to the new shelf. I still need to secure the wire to the wall, solder, shrink tube and mount the new panel.<\/p>\n

As soon as I search for screws.<\/p>\n

Wires are soldered. Just need to mount the panel and connect it to power.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Panel is wired and mounted. I still have 24 hours to wait to use it. I cracked some of the wood when I added screws. Glue and clamps have been added.<\/p>\n
