I had scheduled the time-off already, so my wife & I decided to do 
VCF at Home, now on day 2 of 4.  Working on my SYM-1, taking a break before 
soldering new memory address jumpers in.  We've also been doing some food 
& drink tributes that we strongly associate with VCF East. :)

Posting updates on Instagram & 
Facebook.

I might go back and re-post these on my own website, because both FB and 
IG have been such a PITA to do this on.

If nothing else it means I'll have a real solid exhibit by October. ;)

If it's a better or bigger UPS, I replace the batteries.  I've done so 
from RefurbUPS and Gruber Power Systems over the past 15 years or so on 
my:
- Best Power Fortress 1450
- Powerware Prestige EXT
- Powerware 9125
