Post something good that happened today

[P7PSP]

Located the problem at the cinema--a short in one of the projectors. Old and worn cables that had to be replaced. Took the better part of the evening.

One thing I don't like about working a temp power crew for shut downs is being called to fix wiring on shit trailers owned by rat contractors who don't know how to do shit to industry standard. I have been zapped by 120 lighting ckts more than once when knuckle heads have pinched wires under a piece of lighting chassis where it shouldn't be.

I didn't get zapped yesterday but my mate did. He forgot that the covers were off.

Yeah being careful with circuits that may be hot is good. Do you use 220V 50 hz in Sweden?

Yes we do, but the projectors use 3-phase and he got his kick from two phases.

Ouch. I feel for your mate.

I've done the exact same thing myself and it hurts like fuck.

The cables had 60's plastic insulation. Most of it had dried up and just fell off when touched on while there were parts that were still "sweating" off remaining moisture. The original installer had covered the 3-phase in the kind of shrink tubing that was common then. Bad idea. Had to replace all of it.

Not sure if it's a very good thing, cannot judge for duh, I haven't seen much of it yet, but today a new channel about food and cooking was launched and added to 'the channel package' (TV) here. It's called 24kitchen.. and I'm kinda curious.

So was the problem harder to chase down because it was intermittent at first?

Yes, plus it was problematic because of very limited access. And the whole wiring looks a mess, regardless of age. The projector is close to 50 years old and some of the wiring was there from the start.

I saw a bill-board announcing that channel.
Thought "Lutra" the moment I saw it. 

(Should post this in another thread I guess)

Hailey came over and we talked for many many hours. And he was very sweet, and understood I was sick and just lay there beside me. Then he made me dinner, which I pretended tasted great

Oh, does that mean my access is very limited, and my whole wiring looks a mess.  I'm 62 years old and all of my wiring is original.

Not only is your access limited, you also risk future shorts.

I'm alone.

Can't remember how long ago that has been, alone in the evening, alone at night, alone in the morning.

Need to adapt to it, but feels so good.

Had tears in my eyes yesterday evening, because of it.

 Awww, and being alone is something I take for granted, I'm happy for you.
