I have officially almost killed both of Greg's offspring at this point. (by accident both times)

The older one was sitting next to the wood stove when a bottle of deathmix exploded inside the furnace shooting flames and smoke out of the air grates. Fortunately she was off to the side.

The little one is now toddling around and wandered behind me as I was installing Comp 910-16 valve springs on Jim Sanders motor. Shortly after I got Mrs. Greg to remove her from behind me the spring compressor slipped off. Fortunately the spring and compressor got caught on each other and only went about a foot or I'd be posting this from the ER. Got em all on though.

Where the heck is everyone? Good afternoon. Slow work day for me. I did do a long awaited job at my parent's house, which was good.

I just got finished wiring a new 20A outlet in the kitchen and a GFI on the side porch.
Still waiting on a tandem Pushmatic breaker, at least the homeruns are done.

The supply house is not good about calling on little items and it's been a week.
I'm going to stop by in the morning.

This house was built in the 1800's
I'm not about to swap out the panel now, so....

A $30 breaker is the expedient solution.
