We did a lot of stuff this week, but I’d be lying if I said I remembered all of it!

Among other things, we got “indoor” plants last week, which we placed just outside our front door, in shade; this week, I hooked up irrigation for them so they will hopefully survive.

And in the long saga of my vertigo-spells, this week I went to PT for it and the guy performed the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epley_maneuver Epley maneuver] on me, and mostly fixed it! I go back in two weeks for a review, and to have him help me with the TMJ issues.

I started working on the “power supply”. First step: trying to find an enclosure which will hold the original supply as well as the extra bits and pieces I’m adding. That was a bit trickier than you might have thought, but since I don’t throw out perfectly good stuff, I was able to find a suitable enclosure which just requires some fabrication work. Then I did some work on the control software, though more needs to be done.

I also got (the very next day!) the [https://www.alpesek.co.il/product/batt12v9ah replacement UPS battery] I’d ordered this week, swapped out the dead battery, and now my UPS is UPSing properly, B”H!

The weather this ''shabbat'' is supposed to be colder than average (finally!) and perhaps with some drizzle.

This ''shabbat'' we’re ''still'' hoping to avoid incoming missiles! We’ve got guests, and our menu will include among other things:
 
homemade ''ḥalla'',
baked chicken,
rice,
other things,
various ''salatim'',
and some sort of dessert.
 

Until next time, 
''shabbat shalom''!
