    UPS..........when using a UPS you MUST make sure the load is less than the rating of the UPS. i AM AN ELECTRICIAN AND ONCE went on a call to an new office that had the third UPS melt down in 2 or 3 weeks.THE" IT" PERSON said he could not replace it for free ANYMORE! i ASKED THE DOCTOR WHO HOOKED UP EVERYTHING? He said the IT person. The UPS was rated 400 watts-great for a 100-200 PC but HE HAD ALSO put the 1200 watt PRINTER on the UPS. Most UPS,s around here cycle on several times a day. Every so often the power went off while the printer was working or staying hot--the UPS melting in 5-10 seconds at the most. The 400 watt UPS with a 1400-1500 watt load burned up in seconds. The doctor got a 2000 watt UPS from the IT company... for free again.

    I am in IT, and anyone in this field that doesn't know to check the load on equipment before specking out a UPS system isn't worth their weight in horse manure. It's a basic function of the job, and it's simple to do, especially when there are online load calculators that do most of the work for you. (UPS Selector - Select your protection needs)

    Was a big week. My wonderful wife purchased me another Remington 870 for my birthday. This one is the express tactical. I am one of those that I can not leave well enough alone and have to make every possession in my life my own. That being said I purchased the Mesa Tactical LEO stock adapter, Mesa Tactical enidine shot stock hydraulic buffer, Hogue Rubber AR Grip, Magpul MOE Stock, Magpul Remington Forend, 2 Magpul rail sections, & a Magpul Angled Foregrip. My main reason for all this was that this being our new dedicated HD Shotgun, I needed for my tiny wife (5'0", 90lbs.) to be able to shoulder it. My other Remington 870 & Mossberg 500 have a length of pull that she has trouble with. These additions should solve that and make it a little more comfy on the shoulder. I also ordered 6 more packets of IOSAT, 2 Lifegear LED Sticks, An Accu-shot monopod for my .308 AR, Atlas Bi-pod for the .308 AR, & finally a nice optic for the .308 AR (Vortex Viper PST 6-24x50) which I am hoping to sight in tomorrow. I also got a new harness/Pack for my pooch from forceK9 a couple weeks ago.
