Early Morning Fun

So, at 5:30, there was a power surge of some sort in our house. We only know this because the carbon monoxide detector makes a really loud sound when it powers on and off. I went to check the computer, because it is always on.

The lights are on, but nobody’s home. This means there’s a flashing light on the front of the computer, but there are no fans going on the computer. It’s only flashing a light thanks to the battery on the motherboard.

So I pulled the power supply, swapped it with a power supply on a computer we’re not using anymore, and Voila! it was alive again.

Rather than use this as a “why me” experience, I thought about how nice it was that I had a spare power supply to plug in. It also gave me a chance to recable the computer and move it off of the floor, where it tends to gather dust and golden retriever fur.

Then, it was outside to scoop snow. The snow’s off the driveway, but there is a patch of ice here and there. I’m hoping the sun will help me out later.

It’s time for a nap, and it’s only 9am. 🙂
