CPAP Rotation

I use a CPAP machine (technically a VPAP) to deal with sleep apnea and have done so for years. It was life-changing, but it does mean periodically doing maintenance and replacing accessories on the machine. In December 2019, I lost the mask on my machine during our road trip (remember those?) between Loscon and SMOFCon in Albuquerque. It's a good idea to change the mask annually or so, and this was the weekend for it.

( Masks New and Old )

I retained the year-old mask as an emergency spare (although I have an unopened mask as well), but that really old mask is now discarded.

I also bought a new CPAP hose as well as additional consumables, like the filters.
