Well last night at about 7-ish the power went out again. This time I was not vacuuming, not working on the computer, just sitting reading a book. Since the batteries on my flashlight were cannibalized Tuesday for part of our Avalon project, I managed to get from the living room into the kitchen in the dark. Thank goodness I've cleaned recently, I'm such a slob.
Anyway, I realized that since the over-the-sink light is plugged into the same outlet as the fishtank, it ought to work as well. It did, and I had plenty of light to squeeze into the fusebox closet and reset the system.
I didn't do nuthin', it just went out all on its own. Wazzup wit dat? I dunno. Daddy says I need bigger, heavier extension cords, or more outlets. I think I need a cast-iron skillet forcefully applied to my skull.

...although more outlets would be nifty. I'll just pop down to WalMart and buy them. You just scotch tape them to the wall where you want them and power comes out, right? No wait, something seems to be missing from that scenario. Oh yes, that's right: an electrician. Those cost more than the outlets, I think....
ReplyDeleteI bet your dad could install them. He just seems to be one of those kinda guys.
ReplyDeleteBut he's not one of those kinda guys who is here right now. Maybe in June or July I'll see him, or they might decide it's my turn to go back East. We shall see...
