Tried to fix my laptop with a busted screen, the new one just didn’t want to light!  Gonna have to fiddle with it at some point tommorow. Also if anyone find a the idiot who decided to secure the screen with adhesive and not screws let me know. :curse: :curse: :curse:

@jamie: Well hey, you only live once, gotta hang out around UHV some time or another. ;D

Ugh I hate glued together electronics. Makes it ten times more annoying to open up for repairs than if they were screwed together. Easier to break it during disassembly too. I too want to know who started this trend. :curse:

On the plus side my internet started coming back at 8:30PM (LTE) with the rest coming back a hour later.

I still can't believe how loud a 500,000 volt transformer buzzes!!
It was exciting but admittedly I was very apprehensive and feel embarrassed about that.
Hey, nothing to be embarrassed about. The day you're not apprehensive about half a million volts will probably be your last  :DeAtH:

I'm not that bad okay, I managed to pass didn't I? ;) :police:

Besides I can now go streetlight spotting when I have the chance. ;D
Just as long as it isn't a case of, 'Ooh that's an interesting light..' CRASH.!!!  :police: :mrg:

Same thing probably happens to you when you saw a SOX lamp still in use.

Actually, when we came across a long stretch of motorway lit by SOX, we missed our turning  :-[ :mrg:

That’s when a U-turn comes in hand.

oh wait you drive on the wrong side of the road, my bad.

No, we drive on the left side of the road, which is the correct side. You drive on the right side, which is the wrong side  :P  ;D

In any case, you can't do a U turn on the motorway  :o :poof:  :DeAtH:

Went out driving alone for the first time today, dropped of some letters, got some candy, and then got lost slightly at an exit I had never seen before but lead to my house. Took a little while but I'm home safe. :-[ 8)

Anyways tomorrow I'm upping the distance slightly by partially driving 350 miles to my grandma's house. :mrg:

@Ria: The right side of the road is in the name, it's called the right side for a reason you know. ;) ;D

Drove to My Grandma's house, once I met her halfway I got to drive her car the rest of the way there. May or may not have had to quickly pass a semi on 2 lane blacktop going 100mph... :mrg: Got some good experience learning how to pass in tough conditions like that, which is good. Also stopped in Larned to take better pictures of a transformer bank that's really old. 8)

Replaced every outlet and switch in my grandma's kitchen with new ones, added GFCI protection to them. :bulbman: The really weird thing is that the kitchen is on 4 separate breakers for the outlets, I have the specifically marked in the panel for that reason. Took about 5 hours to do, I also had to run to the hard ware store to get stuff in the middle of it all. :P
