Recall the issues of the electrical stablizer, genset, and alarm system ... all demands by the company .... Well all were finally installed just hours before we left for Unjung Pandang.

When we returned we started turning on A/C units ... breakers started popping left and right ... reset ... start again ... pop pop pop ... reset .. start again ... yadi yadi yadi.  Finally, had to just bypass the stablizer.  WHY?  Because when it was calibrate it was calibrated with "no A/C" .... yeah, like a MAROON from the US would live in an Indonesian house with A/C and never turn it on.

So, brought out the service people .... seems the stabilizer doesn't work.  And the breaker box they installed is faulty.  And the alarm was wired into the stablizer ... and the genset was hooked up also.

So, where are we?  Have a new (used) stablizer ... genset doesn't work (has to be checked/repaired/replaced) and alarm system has to be rechecked and perhaps rewired.

Rainy season has finally arrived ... had a nice 1 hour down pour last night. Noticed no leaks in the house (YEAH).  Air pollution should be much lower tomorrow ... although traffic becomes worse in the rain.

Speaking of traffic ... during the Idul Fitri holiday ... commuting was down to 15 minutes each way.  It is creeping back up ... and soon will be 1.5 hours at night ... TRAFFIC DOES MAKE A DIFFERENCE.

Speaking of difference, how many layers of security is enough ??? ... at work ... (1) auto inspection to get into building complex, (2) brief case and metal detector at building entrance, (3) security check on 29th floor (where my office is), (4) magnetic card to get into office suite, (5) locked door to get into my office.

At home ... (1) security guard and gate getting into our part of the subdivision, (2) 4-6 meter (yes meter) high fence and security person at my house, (3) alarm system and locks at the door, (4) locks on bedroom door, (5) wife sleeping next to me ...
