I started to do a few practice runs on some fabric to make sure that I had the pressure settings right for both the shirts and the mousepads. Then we lost power. I went to turn the **** down to "off" and then unplug the cord. Plug wouldn't come out. Now I have only experience that symptom once before and that was one the A/C plug on my horse trailer got hot enough it "welded" itself to the outlet(the guys that installed it didn't use a plug that was rated for the juice that was pumping through it, no surprise that they are no longer in business). So I went and flipped the circuit so that way there was no surprises when the electrical came back on(which it did an hour later).

In the end, I had to cut the plug and replace the outlet. As of right now I'm dead in the water with being able to do the shirts. I don't know if the unit surged(nothing showed up on the list of comments during a cursory "google" search for negative feedback) or if a storm was here and I just didn't know it because of having Billy Squires blasting out of the speakers at the time while I was doing this. The only reason that a storm comes to mind now is due to one brewing right outside the window as I type this.

Needless to say it's been a fun saturday morning. I just hope I don't have any more surprises. With eletrical issues, it can sometimes be hard(atleast for me) to pinpoint what the cause is. Sorry guys.

 

No sweat, no bad.

Funny thing about Tennessee - we have all kinds of TVA kilowatts, but you never know when a surge might just come down the line. I better bite my tongue about "Good Ol' Boy" electricians.

And then there's the shack I LIVE IN! I swear to be damned I'm living in the house that they filmed "GREEN ACRES" in....

"If the coffee pot is on, we can run the toaster, but not the microwave oven. If the phone is being used, the dial-up has to be offline. The air conditioner cannot be used at the same time as the drier..."

~ and so on...

Shucks, I'd have an easier time of it living in a travel trailer!

 

So tex, how did the day end

 

Yeah, when the power comes back on after an outage, some of my devices that are plugged into a surge strip, they don't work anymore, router, printers, pc power source, and a scanner over the years.

 

And I thought I was the only one. When the AC comes on, the lights dim (fan motor on same circuit), our bedroom closet doors fall down, and we have to go outside (climbing a pole would work) to use the phone!

 

All is well man you will get back on track. Gotta love all our efficent TVA power they gotta cut the power everyonce in a while to save money for there clean up.

 

How about the oven doesn't work unless the bathroom light is on.
Been there!

 

Sounds like y'all need to pay Huck to come straighten your electrical out.

 

I work cheap too.

 

Sorry it's taken me so long to respond back. Evidently my email alert to this thread(and a couple of others) went to my spam folder and I don't check it as often.

I'm going to try to see what I can do. It's going to take awhile, but I'm going to try to get back on track here. Bare with me though, show season is just about to hit full throttle.

 

Take your time, Tex. We appreciate the work you're doing.

Paying your mileage to Memphis would kill me!
