Dan, yes, that will smoke a TV quite nicely. And, yes, I speak from experience. After an ice storm last winter, I hooked up a generator, 220 V, for my in-laws by tapping in to existing wiring, safely!. Everything went fine until the ground wire in the box lost connection and created a 220 circuit when both legs were connected together through the neutral wire in the house when an appliance on each leg came on. Smoked that TV right now. Believe it or not, it was repaired and works fine today. (Hope Jim doesn't chew me out for having done this. I definitely learned what NOT to do.)

You guys notice how this. . . and many other threads on this site end up being more like an instant messaging conversation. . . conference call style? You just have to keep reloading because by the time you say something and submit it. . . somebody or more have already responded also How many other forums are like that?

Last time I tried to get on the chat thingamagigee it wouldn't even load
Those pistons are rediculously heavy, though. We'll probably have to build custom bases for them that can handle 1) not only the weight of the piston but 2) the weight of the person sitting on it.
Yep, boyfriends/girlfriends are good for that sort of thing. I myself have not been sleeping well lately.
That's awesome! Sounds like something I would do. I'm still trying to figure out how to make something out of the internals from my 7.3.
Very true, Lisa. I've never had a problem falling asleep (eventually) when I've had a female next to me. I guess I should start trying to find myself a sleep aid.
