Good morning!!!!

[txdon]

...let some smoke out of his wires .

I'm guessing that's an interesting phrase for an electrical problem? If it's not I'm lost.:confused3:

Ok Don, this is S E C R E T you can't tell anyone. Ok? :thumbsup:

Inside ALL elecronic and electrical devices is a wonderful substance called "MAGIC SMOKE". If you cross wires, or other bad things, you allow the magic smoke to escape and the electonic/electrical device STOPS WORKING!

Typically we ONLY tell this amazing secret to people who work in our field, but for you I made an exception.

David that is too funny!

I was told many years ago that all things electrical contain a finite amount of smoke, once released it cannot be put back!

UH-OH....!!!! So tell us what happens when the finite amount of smoke is released, when that happens does the device automatically revert to normal operation? :laughing: Yeah rite. Good evening, it is 53 degrees here now, hit 59 degrees at one time today, I got out the power washer for the last time this year and cleaned a few things, then stored it downstairs.

Hey ROY!

You are online, I saw you in my other thread.

How was the Job Interview?

David

Hi David,
The laptop was on and I was logged on, but I wasn't on...just left it running most of the day.
Anyway, the interview went quite well...got an extensive tour of the foundry...pretty damm clean for a foundry!
The recruiter called me on our drive down and said they were asking about relocation expenses and such.
The general manager wants to talk to me one last time (he had a customer visit and I left before we had an opportunity to get back together) which will probably be on Saturday sometime...Monday at the latest.
I've got a good feeling about this, but it's not a done deal yet.

You know come to think of it I might have seen some of that magic smoke, and I actually took this picture of it. Really!

Don't forget the inspection light that accompanies the magic smoke, they are packaged together at the factory...UL requirements.

This is what happens when one generator is not quite ready to be paralled with another generator or, somebody forgot to lockout/tagout!

Strangest looking electrical device I have ever seen, but yes that looks like smoke.

Coffee is brewing. 45 degrees with clouds and some showers this morning. Heading to 59 with clouds and sun. Even though the weather wanted to draw me away for my task yesterday. I got them done. Going to help a friend with trimming his trees today.
Good Morning All.

WOW! I hope an electrical component did not start that!

Some years ago, I had a co-worker who lost his McMansion to a fire that started in a computer monitor...

Thank you for being a firefighter Don.

Be well.

33 degrees here this morning going to be in the mid 40 degrees.


Good luck with the job Roy. Does that mean you will become a New Englander?

He will probably become the token conservative in his VT neighborhood...

Nice weekend for the first time in what seems like a long time! Cleaning up Sandy debris and getting ready for winter...

Good morning! 66 to 82 partly cloudy. Got three more rows on the compass rose complete yesterday before being called away to assist the vet to pull a calf. I had the front job of holding the rope. The weather turns cold Sunday and Monday we will be in the 30's.
