Today's the Day!
Alrighty then!
As I was squaring away the CSPS (CPAP Standby Power Supply) I decided that today would be the day for the somewhat quarterly CPAP cleaning. Into the dishwasher went the water chamber and I washed the hose and mask parts in weak Dawn dishwater. Headgear went into the washing machine with a load of socks (eso si que es - now that's Spanish). Foam filter rinsed out and inner filter replaced.
I pulled the nightstand out, vacuumed and dusted well, put it back and set up the CSPS full time. I made a short PowerPole cord to run from battery to the SuperPowergate which allows me to set the 12 V 35 AH AGM battery to the side of the nightstand, with a trash basket hiding it from the front. I put a terminal protector over the positive terminal to prevent anything from falling across it and the negative terminal, which I understand may let all the operational sparks and smoke out of the battery (I'm told that smoke and sparks are hard to get back in).
Plugged in the Astron 12 V power supply (adjusted to 14.5 V per SuperPowergate instruction to charge AGM battery), plugged in the battery, plugged in the power cord to the Respironics 560 .... I feel kind of like Frederick Frankenstein (if only I could have a 29 year old Terri Garr to roll in the hay with or get to sing Puttin' on the Ritz with Peter Boyle!)
Well, now all that's done. I think I will go launder sheets and then be ready to go to bed tonight.
