I'm getting old I say the words to myself and forget to put them down in 
the sentence. Anyway I thought I did but didn't. This happens alot at the 
grocery store as well. Get home and go to get something I bought and it's 
not there. Then I blame the checker or anybody in the house of stealing it 
until I look at the receipt. But I'm doing all right.....LOL

Short of having my own emergency generator the UPS is okay. Problem with it 
is I can't tell when its not going to work until it doesn't. I have to 
re-order one or keep one available like I do now to switch out when it 
doesn't work. Mean while I crash when the power goes out. I don't want 
something to light up the neighborhood but without a great  expense 
something that would last longer. These $150 UPS are better than nothing 
but not much better than a surge protector once they start to drain down.
