I was hesitant to write infinite, but you are correct (and I now
remember the instructor specifically saying infinite), the
Strong work!

Those movies were like the bad driver’s ed movies with the gory post crash
scenes. I had to take some of those classes at LLL as well when I was doing
work there. It was easier to certify as a contractor going to their classes
than doing it with a third party.
Semi-infinite?

Thanks.
I kind of like the cooler here, not so much the
cooler further up north.

think it was mostly steam from the water drying up.

The transformer basically suffered an insulation failure. Primary voltage was
probably being piped throughout the building, on wiring never designed to handle
that voltage. Briefly.

I was in a meat processing plant (wet environment) when the outside
transformer blew up (480 3 phase) Inside there was a huge flash of
horizontal lightning through pretty much the length of the building.

There’s nothing scarier (to me) than working on high voltage equipment when
it’s energized. It was rare, but on occasion I had to do it when I was working
in the business. Some places like hospitals or air traffic control centers
simply don’t have maintenance windows.

I was telling Angie tonight I've just about finished my first two boxes of
steel shot 12ga shells. Last year I fired probably 25 shots and didn't hit
anything. This year is a bit better, 20 or so shots and I've bagged one duck
and two geese.
When you're as bad as I am a hit becomes a huge

The green box is quite decorative, but I will give it a try anyway. Will
you represent me before the County pro bono?

If so, time to seek a property tax reduction as your property value just

Nearly 90F here yesterday, but a cold front went through last night so it’s a

Brazing diesel tanks is not safe, either. I've done it, and it sucks.
My secret was to stuff a hose from the exhaust pipe of the lawn mower
