Yes they're getting the sno now.....

 

They can have it all!!!!!!

 

Just got a call from my buddy in Fossil. My half a beef is ready to pick up. Looks like steaks on the grill tonight!

 

Ranch raised beef is MUCH better than what they sell in the stores around here.

 

Not really a good practice to have lighting and outlets on the same circuit. Different functions.

The house my folks bought in 1951 had two fuses for the whole house, both 20-amp. One outlet, one lights.

People didn't use so much power back then. Refrigerator, radio (maybe a TV), and the morning use of a toaster.

Remember these? Times sure have changed......

The Manager of the NAPA store here is a buddy of mine, and has been raising beef for the last 50 years. The beef he raises is the best I've ever had. I usually buy 2 halves/year. Makes a nice change to all the FREE ELK I get.....................lol

 

Thanks for the loan last time, sorry it took so long to get it back.

Good morning everyone.

 

I can remember my dad stuffing a penny behind one of the those when the last one blew and he didn't want to go to town.

 

There a houses in John Day that still have tube and socket wiring.

 

As a result of that practice being commonplace, they devised a one-way screw-in "adapter" that took smaller screw-in fuses that wouldn't let you do that any more:



The adapter:

Yep white stuff on the ground here from last night.

 

The weekend is on!...........yeah, I weaseled out of working this one.

 

Good for you Dave, watcha gonna do with yer spare time...

 

Organize the stuff in the yard equip. shed and get it ready for spring.
Got 2 rigs in need of oil changes, put a front crankshaft seal in the old ranger, and start doing my taxes..........oh, joy.

 

That's pretty much standard anywhere you go. I do agree that having them separate would be better.

Not too bad in their setup because the circuit with the problem ran the ceiling fans & lights plus the dining room lights. The wall sconces and the loft lights are on the other circuit so if one blows it only takes out half the lighting for the room.
