The power company came out & confirmed my reading & within an hour had a crew adjusting the power coming into our street. We haven't had any problems since the repair & they sent us a check for $1,300.

Anyway, my parents passed away when I was at a very young age... they knew my love for electronics.... and without getting too weird, I consider this all their way of letting me know they are still watching over me. I could tell you other stories related to electricity/electronics over my life that would make your head spin... but they all make me look psycho, so I keep em to myself.

hahaha, I'll keep an eye out. With the new engine, my chin is in the clouds. In comparrison, A broken fridge is less important than getting mud on the carpet.
But a good cat 5 would be nice.

HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAAHAHAHHAAHOHHO HOHOHOHOHAHHAHAOHAHOHOAOHAHAOAAOHAHA
(That'* manical laughter)
Washing machine motor burnt up.
That'* it for this troublemaker. Out to the farm to meet some gas, AK47, a few double barrels, and maybe some small explosives.
I'llprobably buy a new set, so if anyone wants a dryer, and can pick it up, let me know. It works fine, although I had to spend $150 or so to get it that way.
