( raw notes )

Not a bad day. I took a 3-mile walk (second one this week), and went to the Ford dealership to point out that their bill was about $80 more than the estimate I had authorized. I was pleasantly surprised to have my service advisor immediately set about arranging for a refund. I had almost chickened out. Nice.

A lot of puttering, including 3 bags of recycling, a trip to the bank, some music work, and some furniture setup in the office. OK, the phrase "re-arranging the deck chairs" comes to mind, but I did want to set up a monitor and keyboard next to the rack for working on the router.

I also signed up on PG&E's website so I could look at my smart meter readings. They lag by at least a day, unfortunately, so no real-time updates. *sigh*

Oh, and that monitor? In spite of being an LCD, it gobbles about 30W. At first I thought the power brick was consuming half of that, but apparently not (according to the meter I just hooked up to it); that was just an artifact of trying use the UPS as a power meter.
