Pedialite and PB&J sandwiches helps a lot.

Adam has not been here in three days. His last post was 09-25-2009 03:43 PM. Do you think he got lost trying to go down for Alex's visit at Greg's?

I have been wondering about that myself. Maybe Matt fed him to Beast.
What else could it be?

I'm watching Tom Petty on Paladia. Pretty good tunes. How did you girls all get sick at once?
Were you making out?

Naw, I'm sorry you're all sick. I just wanted to make you laugh. Get better.

LOL It was a good time to win sympathy from the wife.

I'm not sure why Alex is acting like he doesn't know what happened to Adam. I feel quilty so I will just let it out.

He showed up at my house, he was drinking a lot. We were jacking around with my sub and we pulled the driver out to take a good look at it. Adam bent over the box and fell in. Alex and I couldn't tell if he was hurt or not but assumed he was. We didn't really know what to do so we sprayed wasp spray in the box and sealed the woofer back in place with Adam in there.

I don't hear him yelling so I think he's ok plus my sub doesn't "walk" now that it has the extra weight. Looks like a 'win-win' for all involved.

She's (Lauren) much better now. Took her to the pediatrician on Monday. No fever and back to normal on Tuesday.

No doubt.

Yesterday I got a built in double oven installed. The old one quit working. The appliance repair guys said the part to fix it was no longer available. When I removed the old oven I saw that a poor electrical connection was the real problem. The appliance repair people evidently don't check that as part of their diagnostic trouble shooting procedures because they don't pull the oven out ... because ... I forgot why not but they don't.

The connection was not made in a junction box and had been arcing like a bastard because the original installers didn't have a big enough wire nut so they only used 1/2 the strands in the cable. The arcing left a nice patch of black soot in the presswood cabinet.

The appliance repair guy was unapologetic and actually defensive of the misdiagnosis. When I suggested that his people check the electrical connections in the future to maybe prevent fires he said something like, "Lots of homes get lost to fires. I lost a home to a fire."

I'm glad we didn't die in a fire.

Rickster71 gave me the scoop on how to make it right. I'm gonna give him a shitload of rep points. AH rocks.

Nice! I love it when people could give a **** less about the quality of work they do. Especially when it could burn someone's house down.

 

[Alex2507]

The misdiagnosis led to a $1,000 savings on a $3,300 GE Profile Stainless Steel oven (because I was rubbin' elbows with Greg). So like $2,500 out the door. That cornhole didn't even offer to refund the $75 fee for misdiagnosing the issue. The new oven is pretty soogin' and we didn't die in a fire. The original installers? ... heaven help 'em. It can't be easy goin' through life like that.

I'm gonna go like fix a ceiling or something ...

Alex,
I'm glad to hear it all worked out.

Maybe they'll go skydiving some day. The guy packing their shoots will not have enough cord, so he'll just use tape on a couple of supports.

I don't know who got me sick but I'm blaming strube!

 

[mperfct]

Sorry boss. Hope you get feeling better soon. At least you should be able to rest now that Alonso is with the tifosi now.

 

[pzaur]

Today is rough. Had to stay home with Lauren because she had the H1N1 and is totally fine now. CDC recommends a 7 day isolation that we are following per are pediatricians request. Mmmmm...coffee, Sesame Street, waffles with maple syrup , and a day to catch up on homework. It's nice today!

Stop getting sick, people!

I'm hungry. I need to eat.

At least this vacation week isn't turning out to be a waste. I removed a wall from my basement today and dropped off the drywall at the dump. I'm slowly working my way towards the wall underneath my system on the main floor. Once I'm into that wall, I will be able to add more electrical outlets and route my TV and speaker cables through the walls.
