Late Fall Backyard Nature in New Jersey: Snow
Yesterday’s light rain and sleet changed to snow overnight. Outside became a winter wonderland. Images of trees, red holly berries, and lonely chairs on the deck.
Late Autumn Backyard Nature in New Jersey: Wet Rain and Sleet
The temperatures dropped followed by wet rain and some sleet. Snow is forecasted for tonight. An image of the backyard, and some red berries — holly and bittersweet.
New LG Washing Machine/Dryer Vibrations: Troll Family Dance
The new combination LG washing machine/dryer arrive. It was a bit of a challenge getting it into the house, and into the laundry room. Once it was in the laundry room, it was very easy to set-up. It only requires a single outlet (120 V, 15 A), hot & cold water connections, and the drain. The previous electric dryer required higher voltage and current (220 V, 40 A), and an outdoor vent. I did note that during the spin cycle, there was a bit of vibration (actually a lot of vibration until I leveled the unit). The house trolls quickly discovered that it worked as a great dance floor.
Remote Camera Control Test: Troll Family
I periodically use the Nikon Camera Control Pro program to remotely control cameras. This was the first time I used to the program to control a Nikon Df camera. Three images of the Troll Family changing the aperture and shutter speed.
I have been doing my laundry elsewhere for some time. Both the washing machine and dryer have not been working. While trying to fix the dryer, I pulled an amazing amount of lint out from around the drum. Fortunately, it never caught fire. Both units are at least 25 years old, so I decided it was time for an upgrade. While in Norway earlier in the year I saw a washing machine & dryer combo that used a lot less water, and did not require an external vent. After some searching I found a direct drive combo from LG. The new unit gets delivered tomorrow, so I need to disconnect and remove the old appliances.
