Important

Shoot , there was a guy on campus up in da Keweenaw who walked around all year in shorts & wooden shoes.

Motorcycling below freezing just plain blows. That's a new definition of chilled-to-the-bone.

I saw a kid campus walking around with shorts and no shoes. It was ten degrees yesterday. His feet were purple...stupid hippy
 
Saturday night I was welding in my heated garage installing the disconnect switch on the xjpopcan buggy. All of the sudden the welder stopped and I noticed that the garage tv and cable box was out. I thought, man that's odd, they can't be on the same circuit. Grace comes out of the house, "What did you do?! Half the house doesn't have power!" I checked the garage electrical panel and the house panel, no popped breakers.

I pulled the cover off the panel in the house. Lost a leg. Pulled the meter cover and found that I lost a leg.

Called Indiana Michigan power. The were there in less than an hour. The drop to the house had a bad spot that blew out. Lineman said that it was from a tree that I cut down last year. He backed his truck up all the way into my back yard. Those trucks don't look that big until you see them up close.

Replaced four feet of my service with these great big butt connectors and had me back going in no time.


Thankfully the power company picks up that bill...

found a pretty cool picture while I was doing a research paper on the tensions between Kosovo and Serbia.

These are a birgade of XJs used by the Organisation for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) put in place to help keep the peace in Serbia.

there you go, just pick up one of those in Serbia that has been used for a car bomb, or hit by an enemy rocket or something. maybe it'll just have rear damage.

wow. asshat? flash back to the days of JU. :nono:

Flash back to Fark.com, for me. I had to go look, apparently that site's still around.

Saturday night I was welding in my heated garage installing the disconnect switch on the xjpopcan buggy. All of the sudden the welder stopped and I noticed that the garage tv and cable box was out. I thought, man that's odd, they can't be on the same circuit. Grace comes out of the house, "What did you do?! Half the house doesn't have power!"

Odd, the same thing happened to me a few months back. I thought I lost power, then realized lights were still on in the kitchen. Sure enough, every other breaker was out. Checked the lines in the panel and had 0V on one, 120V on the other. I had never heard of that happening to anyone; I called Dad and he had never heard of such a thing either. Same deal as you, I called them out and they were there, pronto, but it took them half the night to replace the broken line in the ground. Somewhat coincidentally this happened not too long after doing a lot of welding, but I somehow doubt my <20amp 110V MIG did that kind of damage.

Also, since then my electric bill has been nearly double (kWh, not just $), but I've been waiting to be sure before I call them and bitch about it. I think they replaced my meter so I'm wondering if I got a bad one. Just something to watch for the next few months.

And yea, those International trucks are sweet (I'm guessing, that's what my REMC sent out). Did you offer to trade the lineman an F-450 for it?
