A Funny Thing Happened On The Way To The Substation
-
We connected my new substation to the grid this morning and nothing smoked. Talk about depressing! It's like paying a gazillion bucks to see a F-1 race live and nobody crashes! Or going to a bullfight and having the referees call it a draw. Or attending a cockfight where all the chickens are legless, flightless mutants. Or taking LSD for the first time and seeing only your mother-in-law in the buff. Or marrying your high school sweetheart and realizing on your honeymoon that you'd really rather be with a big, hairy, tattooed biker. Or taking a cruise to Mexico and finding that, because of the swine flu, the ship is only allowed to circle Catalina Island 40 times. Or taking 6 doses of performance enhancing herbal supplements before a date with the girl of your dreams, only to learn over dinner that she wants to be "just friends." Okay, it was less exciting than I thought it would be, but I'm glad it worked as designed... On to the next two on my list. :-D

Or hitting the jackpot on a slot machine for fifteen hundred... nickels ($75). :sigh: And of course it was right beside the buffet entrance.

Did you do that? My mother called me once at work to tell me she won 30,000! After I stopped gasping for air she admitted that it was a penny machine. :doh:

you obviously fixed the phase mismatch - and the sewer lift system didnt reverse itself - leastwise, hopefully it will do it on your Boss and not you, if you're ever proven right about the 'nagging doubt' about how the phases crossed in the first place ! congrats 'g'

Thanks! Hehehe... I think my cow-orkers have trouble understanding my sense of humor. I had a guy standing by a lift station to check phase rotation during the change, and I told him to have an umbrella handy, just in case. The radio was reeeaaallll silent for about three minutes, then he came back in a very uncertain voice, "10-4." I don't think he had any idea what I was talking about. I'm still worried about the phasing - I think it's going to be an issue that bites us later, but there's really nothing I can do about it at this point. In any case, the rotation is more important, and we got that much right. :-D

The only game that can be played for five days (or more, but timeless Tests belong to the past) and yet end in a draw :-D

So I've heard, and I'm disappointed that we can't view cricket on television here. The only Cricket I've seen in my life is a darts game.

When I was a student I asked an Indian and an Englishman at a dinnerparty to explain the rules of cricket to me... Two hours later, we left them in my kitchen still discussing/arguing the rules, to go for a pubcrawl! I still don't have a clue about the rules of cricket, but I understand that it involves a lot of tea.

Wouldn't it be funny if high school sweetheart is a big, hairy, tattooned biker? :) My older son went to his first date yesterday, he is only 15.
