Ever have that tingling feeling?

[SeaCat]

Have you ever had that tingling feeling? I had it today.

I was out back of my place working once again on the Heater. (Yep and I finally found the problem, more on that later.)

I kept getting readings that didn't make sense so I made the decision to pull the heater box. My wife came out to see how things were going while wearing an overly tight pair of very thin shorts ala Hooters. We're talking a distraction worthy of note, which leads to the next.

I cut the circuit breaker on the unit and started pulling the heater box. When I had the heater box out of the unit I started pulling the coils from the box but the breakers were blocking a couple of bolts I needed to pull. I loosened the breakers and started moving them when I was reminded I had forgotten something.

My fingers came into contact with the feed wires going into the breakers and I quickly got that tingling feeling associated with 110 volts running through my carcase. (Two 110V feed lines going into the twin breakers and I managed to hit both of them.)

Can you see where I screwed up? I got distracted and didn't cut the power at the main circuit breaker inside. Oh well the distraction made it all worth while.

As for the heater? Both Coils are broken about midway down their length. I'm trying to find the replacement parts for this but I'm not having any luck so far.

I touched a 1200 VDC transmitter B+, once!

I worked on a 10,000 volt Magnetron Radar but I used a shorting stick to discharge the caps, and almost shit when they went off.

It was not long after I resolved to switch to semiconductor work as they only run at 5-48 volts.

Moral of the story

Never let an attractive woman in short shorts around you while working with electricity.

I just don't trust electricity. I no longer shut off the main breakers to change a light bulb but I am very, very careful. I mean, imagine all this hair standing on end!

Ah yes, that tingly feeling that tells you – you messed up. I had a light fixture to go bad, or so I thought. I finally found out it was the switch, but in any case, in order to work on it , I went to the circuit breaker and tried to guess which breaker ruled the switch. “Downstairs bedroom,” ahh yes, that must be it I thought. In my defense, I did try to test but my multimeter had died (of loneliness I suspect, it had been years since I had used it.)

Of course, the multimeter needed a battery that I did not have, some type of watch battery, and so I decided that I had probably guessed right at the breaker box and so started to check the switch.

I got that tingly feeling all right. It made me happy though. Happy to know that I only had to replace a cheap switch and not a light fixture. It turned out, it was on the circuit labeled “room over garage,” okay, well I suppose it was on the way to the ROG.

Glad to be here to tell about it

Hey, you think if i get out my short-shorts - I might be able to get someone else to do this stuff?

Like I'm ever going to let that happen.

Then I guess you had better have a better safety check list or better focus.

Ahhhh 110V is just enough to wake you up and make you check your shorts.

As for the short shorts, that all depends on who you're asking to work on your electrical and just how short and tight the shorts are.

Focus wasn't the problem, what I was focusing on was the problem.

lol, evidently. That's why you got that tingly feeling.

How does the wife feel knowing she still has the power to make you tingle all over?

Being raised on a farm, my dad had electric fencing for the horses and cattle. My brothers were always daring me to touch the fence. I can second the "you get used to it" comment. Maybe that's why wands and other electric toys are so much fun.

Scantily dressed women almost always lead to tingly feelings - at least in my experience.

Hey Lisa! How bout women dressed in that . . . AVI next to your name. Talk of tingling. I'd say quite the cataclysm. Vesuvius would be proud.

Don't walk near a Van De Graff Generator then.

I made that mistake not too long ago and it took most of the day to brush out my hair. (When I tie my hair back the Pony tail is 20 inches+.)

I grabbed a frayed cord plugging in a floor buffer once...I think it was 120V...it knocked me against a wall and my hand was numb for an hour. I've also been 'tickled' by wall plugs and switches and one unforgettable time by a breaker box...am I glad I was wearing rubber soled deck shoes at the time.

I don't fear electricity, but I darn sure respect it.

Getting shocked sucks. The one that pissed me off was a mislabeled schematic that had me probing on 200 Vdc.

One of the more darkly humorous ones was when we were doing some Army manual technical testing on a CRT display. 17k Vdc, low current. I got shocked, the trainer got shocked, the poor tech was a basket case waiting for his turn.

Been lucky never to have gotten into anything that grabbed me and wouldn't let go. Gotta respect that stuff. Treat like a loaded gun.

I was outside once immediately after a terrible storm blew through. I was in an open field when I began to tingle all over and my hair, down below my waist at the time, started to rise into the air. Quite an interesting sensation.

Did you drop flat on the ground? That sounds like imminent lightning strike to me.

Nope. I stood around with a few other people {none of whom were affected in the least} and marveled at the sensation. I didn't realize until later that I was playing lightning rod.

I have an affinity to electricity. I give off some rather impressive blue green sparks when I touch metal. You can hear the snap across the room.

Been juiced a couple times with no injuries other than a couple of bumps and bruises. I've never been grabbed although I know a couple of guys who have been.

Beleive me when I say I respect electricity, I've seen what it can do.

The worst two for me were both lower voltage hits. (110VAC Syatems)

The first was when I was replacing a short, (18 inch) Flourescent Bulb. (Balasted system)I had made sure the light switcvh was off and grabbed the ends of the tube. I had almost fit the tube in place when the lights went out for a second. I woke up on the other side of the narrow bathroom laying in the tub with the old lady who was staying in that hotel room looking down at me and asking me if I was okay. It turns out she hasd decided to be helpful with me working in the dark and had turned on the lights.

The second was while I was helping a guy fix an electric fence. He had powered up a section of the fence without telling me and I backed into one of the sets of electrodes. They contacted my sweat soaked back just above the belt line almost on the spine. Granted it was at a low voltage but the current running through my lower body knocked my legs out from under me and caused some muscles to be temporarily paralysed with the typicaly embarrasingly nasty results.

Thank you, m'lady. And your avatar also leads one to thoughts of, erm, aethereal experiences...

Please pardon me - I'm the worst joke teller in the world, and I laugh at jokes everyone else has heard a million times, but this seems like a good place for this one. Stop me if you've heard it before.*


*you'd better not. It makes me giggle everytime I hear it.

========================
An elderly couple is enjoying an anniversary dinner together in a small town. The husband leans over and asks his wife, "Do you remember the first time we had sex together over fifty years ago? We went behind this tavern where you leaned against the fence and I made love to you." Yes," she says, "I remember it well." OK," he says, "how about taking a stroll round there again and we can do it for old time's sake?

"Oooooooh Henry, you devil, that sounds like a good idea," she answers.

There's a police officer sitting in the next booth listening to all this, having a chuckle to himself. He thinks, "I've got to see these two old-timers having sex against a fence. I'll just keep an eye on them so there's no trouble." So he follows them.. They walk haltingly along leaning on each other for support, aided by walking sticks.

Finally they get to the back of the tavern and make their way to the fence. The old lady lifts her skirt, takes her panties down and the old man drops his trousers. She turns around and as she hangs on to the fence, the old man moves in. Suddenly they erupt into the most furious sex that the watching policeman has ever seen. They are bucking and jumping like eighteen- year-olds. This goes on for about forty minutes! She's yelling, "Ohhh, God!" He's hanging on to her hips for dear life. This is the most athletic sex imaginable. Finally, they both collapse panting on the ground.

The policeman is amazed. He thinks he has learned something about life that he didn't know. After about half an hour of lying on the ground recovering, the old couple struggle to their feet and put their clothes back on.

The policeman, still watching thinks, that was truly amazing, he was going like a train. I've got to ask him what his secret is. As the couple passes, he says to them, "That was something else! You must have been having sex for about forty minutes. How do you manage it? "You must have had a fantastic life together. Is there some sort of a secret?"

The old man says, "Fifty years ago that wasn't an electric fence."
