It went wacky or more importantly you had bulbs burning with something greater than 120 volts, probably close to 200 volts.

That's it! 45 on one and 190 or so on the other.

I thought it was weird when you said the voltages changed when he turned on a lightbulb. That wasn't the breaker that was the neutral.

The electrician was beside himself because he thought that yesterday but the readings were all good until there was any sort of load applied. When we discovered the ground was also comprimised, it made sense to him.

The discussion between the electrician and the guys from the power company was almost funny.

Tech: "It's reading what?"

Supv: "That can't be."

Elect: "Come look for yourself."

Supv: "I've never seen that before."

Tech: "I read about it somewhere."

Me: "What's this mean in plain English and how much is it going to cost?"

Glad you got it running, warm house is much better than cold house in the winter :)

We're not out of the woods yet. It seems the big freezer in the basement went belly-up in addition to all the other things affected. The temp is slowly creeping up and I have big quartz space heater up in the bedroom (no heat upstairs until the controller gets replaced). My wife is going to call the insurance company to see if any of this is covered under our homeowners policy but I'm not holding my breath.

Picked up my tickets to the Friday, Reds vs Pirates game during the Frozen Four.
 
Re: Rep Retirement Lodge #162: Love Is In the Air

Brought that up to my bro the other night to grab some tickets for us.

Back from seeing Jersey Boys. Great show. I remember someone in here is related to someone in the show (do I get points for remembering that much?) Nice dinner before then and then drive home in a snowstorm. WInter n the Eastern bias zone...

Feeling better than last Friday, still not 100% energy wise, but off to work we go

Ha, funny. I flipped back over to it right as they were introducing that. As soon as I saw what kind of BS it was, I turned off the TV, rolled over, and went to sleep early.


It is so very nice to have remote start and heated seats and steering wheel. I should have traded trucks years ago. It made my drive to work much less ****ty. I parked in the back row of the parking lot at work, I've gotten door dings here before with my old truck, and I don't want anyone close enough to do that to this one. At least not yet.
 
S'upp y'all

Morning Lodge. Staying home sick today- been battling this cold all weekend.

les, my cousin's son was in Jersey Boys touring company for several years. He has since left to pursue other opportunities (a new show that had a brief run and is still trying to get to Broadway). He played Joe Pecci when it was in Minneapolis, along with several other "swing" roles. His wife is now in "Wicked" and we hope to go see her in Milwaukee in the spring.
 
Re: Rep Retirement Lodge #162: Love Is In the Air

My friend and I really enjoyed the plays we saw this weekend. We both like "Twelfth Night" more than "Taming of the Shrew". The interpretation this group did of "Twelfth Night" was hilarious.
The company is called Propeller and I think they are worth checking out. Their next (and only other US) stop is in Minneapolis.

Our seats were a little too close for comfort for me though. We had front row center seats and there's a scene where one of the characters is pants-less (I'm sure Winger would approve). Anyway his tightie whities were right there, too close to my face. So I look away and he crouches down at the front of the stage, waiting for me to look again, at which point he winks at me and everyone laughs. :o

Turns out that despite my sick sense of humor, I am a bit of a prude.

Howdy Lodge.

Awards season finally over. I may have to stop ever posting or reading stuff online during a telecast. It's almost close to election night agita for me.

This midweek storm is stressing me out a tad. The storm in the plains looks like it will hit close to St. Louis but we're getting something as well. My boss told me to change my flight to Tuesday night if that would help but I think it might be easier to get out Wednesday morning (flight's at 6:45am) and land there then head out here Tuesday night when the weather is OK here and crap there.
