Now in the spending money to get back to normal department:
· Replacement TiVo HD ordered as an advance exchange, costing $299.99 until the old unit is received back. (It has failed and wouldn’t boot past the in-firmware Please Wait… screen.)
· Two replacement 12V 18Ah lead acid batteries ordered to get my Smart UPS 1400 working again. $85.75, including shipping.
· More bills paid. (Waveform, etc.)
· Film shipped out to Australia ($50-some).
Ergh. Definitely can’t afford a vacation yet.

After class today I swung by Fraser Cycle and Fitness with the bad cone so I could get a replacement. Talking to one of the guys there he told me to put the wheel back together and then bring it in, and they’d sort it out under warranty.
I went home, put the wheel back together, returned to the store, and fifteen minutes later (or so) I was handed back my wheel and it’s now far better than it was. I think the wheel was also trued and spoke tension checked, because it’s practically as good as it ever was. Just in time for me to receive the new set of wheels which I ordered. Whoops.
Now to relax for a few then try to get my TiVo and UPS fixed.
