Finally received my upgraded CPAP machine after more than 5 years with the ResMed S9 model which is discontinued. Medicare balked after a sleep study reported that I probably wouldnāt die from sleep apnea. My pulmonologist tore them a new A-hole about quality of life and my previous A-fib surgery possibly being related to the sleep apnea.
The newer AirSense10 Autoset just came today. It seems a bit more plasticky, especially in the water chamber which Iāve seen online has leakage problems. Iāll give it a go tonight after a turn in the SoClean 2
I used to have sleep apnea, and I had a CPAP machine that need to be replaced.
I had to do another sleep study to get a new CPAP machine, and it turned out that I no longer have sleep apnea, and my insurance would not cover another CPAP machine.
I had to buy my own CPAP machine with my own money!
I chose the Fisher & Paykel ICON Auto for $510 in 2014.
It seems to get the job done, so I think it was a good choice.
Picked up these cheap little Dayton speakers. I needed something small to fit on my TV cart beside the TV. Even though they have only 4ā drivers, they sound more musical than my old DefTechs. Right now I have them crossed over at 80 Hz to the sub - still need to do some more listening and tweaking. They are not very efficient and have 4 Ohm impedance, so they give my old AV receiver a bit of a workout, but I have plenty of headroom since itās a fairly small listening/viewing area - no need for very high volume. For $70 bucks, Iām happy.
Ordered a Seagate USB powered Backup Plus 5TB Portable Hard Drive with Rescue Data Recovery Services from Costco for $99 plus tax. With all the media I have, itās cheap insurance if my house got robbed or burned down. I already have a few backups but this is a guarantee I will never lose my data. I will keep this hard drive in my safety deposit box I have at my local bank. Better safe than sorry.
Had LeafFilter installed on my gutters yesterday. They will prevent debris from trees from clogging up the gutters and leaders which can cause water leakage into the house. I know from experience.
Between Nespresso and Keurig, the taste of Nespresso beats Keurig hands down, IMO, although Nespresso capsules are a bit more expensive. Iāve heard Peetās capsules work well in these machines and sometimes go on sale for a lot less than the original Nespresso ones. Iāll be picking some up next time they go on sale.
Got a cheap replacement rear master cylinder from Amazon, this one has an external reservoir and is supposed to be the 2005 upgrade to the 2004 Arctic Cat I have. This one was $25ā¦ Much better deal than the $260 OEM one thatās known to seize! Got it mounted, thought I got it filled and bled, still no foot brake.
Guess I get to pull the caliper and do a restore on that too. Putting these machines away for 5 years wreaks havoc! But thatās how I got it for a Benji so maybe it aināt worth complaining about! Lol
