That doesn’t sound remotely “safe.”

That same company blew up a boat and killed 4 men....

I just called it "training."

But I used to test 220V with the back of my hand... I use a meter nowadays. Lol

Yeah, fuck that!

One thing I don’t like to mess with is anything electric. Yeah I can swap out light fixtures, change, and on off switch, but I don’t fuck with electricity.

My neighbor is line man for the power company. He laughs at me!

I'm a poor Arkiie... I've replaced two meter loops, live, to keep my $$ in my pocket... granted, it took several drinks to get my head "right for the task."

Nothing spectacular this morning, but it's still better than the average office window.

Wow! That's one way to get you dick knocked stiff...or to lose it completely. Absolutely shocking!

A little fun side note. In the early spring of 1973, we were on a six-month Med Cruise and had pulled into Naples Italy. I was on the 0400 to 0800 Sound and Security watch. Part of my duties were to take the draft reading from the pier. I heard over the 1MC, "Fireman D,, report to the Captain on the Quarter Deck". I was wondering what the fuck have I done wrong for the Captain, an O6, to call me an E-3 to the Quarter Deck?"

When I got there, I saluted and reported to him. He looked at me and said, "These draft reading cannot be right. I am going to show you how to take these readings." Down to the pier we went and to the bow. He looked at my report, looked at the draft markings, turned and went to mid-ship readings, then turned and walked quickly aft. After he checked those he turned to me and said, "Fireman D, I owe you an apology, your report is absolutely right. We're sitting on the bottom sucking mud into the main intakes."

We quickly took off back to the Quarter Deck and told the OOD to get ahold of LCDR T. who was the Chief Engineer. My Division Officer was there as my Chief and my shop LPO. The Chief asked the Captain if there was a problem and he said, "At first I thought there was. But Fireman D. was correct with his draft report and the charts are wrong. We're sitting on the bottom taking mud into the main intakes and we could have a major problem."

I spent a little time in Capidichino, NAS Naples! We staged out of there for Operation Joint Guardian (Kosovo) but stayed in Pinatumara (sp?) the old Navy recreation area. The 29 story high rise was being turned over to the Italians but we stayed there and drove into Capidichino everyday.

NURSE, NURSE! My granddaughter came down with C-Diff…she’s OK but my mother called me and said she caught it? Is this possible? I’m taking her to the doc today. My wife (who’s not a doctor but pretends to be one) says she doesn’t have it, it has to be something else. Anyhow. I put my trust in our resident nurses. . Thanks in advance for any gouge!

Sticking to the theme…it got into the mid 70s here yesterday, and will return today. The Key West MZ has brought on the thaw!

ALWAYS use the back of the hand only!
I can't stress that enough!
That way, you won't grab/hold the source when your muscles contract.

ENJOY!!!

 

[Missk_2022]

I agree. Love being outside, tending to plants. Weeding, seeing my punkins grow…

And mowing the lawn. The lines gotta be perfectly straight….

It is good for angst and anxiety.

Or if you’re a nut, like me!

I know the Mrs is a big gardener.... she needs to start a thread call it the dirty hoe channel and we can have the same vibe about plants....can you imagine...

Hahahahaha

We can talk about hoes here

 

[Missk_2022]

Getting plants ready early is a thing! Even winter gardening. We grow lettuce year-round.

Once we even grew a pot plant! Man do they smell!!

I am gonna grow some lettuce and some strawberries and maybe some squash

Yes is possible. Cdiff is pretty contagious.

She should have her own toilet if she can till she is better and get some bleach wipes or spray to clean...

HAND WASHING IS CRUCIAL

She shouldn't cook for people and if doing laundry and can use bleach...do.... washing doesn't kill c diff spores.....

Hand sanitizer doesn't kill c diff either...it is WASHING YOUR HANDS

After she rides in your car...wash it down with bleach wipes.... not bleach free clorox wipes..... real bleach wipes (if you can)

Strawberries and squash are two of my favorite things in the world!
I might eat two salads a year though, if they're piled high with taco meat and cheese.

Just like water, air, and most people, electricity takes "the path of least resistance."
The key to working on it live (which I don't recommend to ANYONE to do) is to NOT become that path.

I make a mean steak salad...

Romaine lettuce
shaved red onion
A steak
Roasted potatoes or butternut squash or ???
Honey mustard dressing
You can add whatever other veggies you want...tomatoes a little spinach some cucumber etc

Delicious

I haven't, but I'm game to try anything.

Absolutely awful, I agree!
I've known a couple of people who had "blow-throughs".... and a few who got lucky and missed them.
