Great, now the Oscar Mayer song will be in my head all night.

Briggs deals with a Thursday morning. When do I get to sit in my rocker?

 

[Neb]

Me, too!

Mmmm fried bologna.

Tech tip
Put slits around the perimeter to prevent the center from bubbling up and get a uniform cook.

Taste tip: Use ham, sausage, bacon, steak, or even fish in place of spam and bologna.

You might be in Tuscaloosa Al if...

You find a crimson and white stretch limo with a houndstooth vinyl roof inside a furniture store...

Saw it this morning, too funny... they even had a little elephant outside the store...

Cute overload.

A couple dozen elk came to visit this afternoon. They were standing right behind one of my swinging metal targets.

Awww. Cute ginger kitty!

I've never liked spam or bologna that much. Love bacon though.

My mother would love the elephant statue. She'd want one if we had a place for it. She collects elephant stuff.

Little donkey is cute.

The Beverly hillbillies truck is housed at College of the Ozarks which is like 5 miles down the road from here. You can have your picture taken with it for $13 if I recall correctly.

 

[Haertig]

I'd have to strike oil to be able to afford $13 for a picture.

Uncle Jed was one of my role models.

Granny was a hoot and Jethro was was comic relief. I would have watched even if there wasn't an Ely May.

When my Mom gave her doctor a bad time I always asked the doc if he knew who Granny Clampit was. That was my Mom. She was from the hills of Arkansas and she thought city doctors didn't know squat.
She treated all doctors as incompetent and dangerous.
She had lung cancer and had part of her lung removed but she claimed what actually cured her was her homemade salve.
She was even built like Granny.

Saw this in mom's eye doctor's office today. WTHeck?

That is a very crude and shall I say dangerous way to prevent anyone from plugging into the higher amp circuit.

If someone doesn't know which circuit breaker does what they may just start throwing breakers. That circuit would always trip.

Why?

There may have been an issue with stuff plugged into the higher rated outlet that should have been on a lower current breaker.

Still think it is crude.

That is an Alabama safety device installed by an electrician working elsewhere on that branch circuit to guarantee that it cannot go live by some idiot accidentally resetting a tagged-out breaker and frying him.
CBE - crude but effective.

You do things like that if you have ever danced with 3-phase 480v.
You never get hit with 480v because you are grounded.
But any leg to ground is 277v.
277v will leave a lifelong impression. And have you saying: "Aw hailno! never again!"

For 3-phase 208, the worst you get to ground is 120v, not that bad:

Sorry, I needed to post a pic.

I still have the socket wrench extender with the arc weld burn from when I trusted someone who said the 480V 3P circuit I was disconnecting from the testing leads was off.

Fortunately, 277 usually pushes you away... I landed on my butt about 5 feet from where I was crouching.

 

[SheepDog]

Yeah, I was thrown a good 8 feet with 440 3 phase. I remember a beautiful blue light and this horrific sound. I found out later the sound was me.
I grabbed the connector gave it a twist and it pulled itself out of the outlet. One too many guys had used the cord to pull the plug. It shorted and I was hanging on.

My shocking experience...

I was trouble shooting a radar transmitter in high seas. I was holding onto the cabinet to stabilize my self and reached out for a scope probe that swinging as the ship rolled. My hand came within 6 inches of the high voltage chassis and saw a lighting bolt jump to my hand and felt it across my back.

14KV bites.

Shook my up for the afternoon.

Things your young children experiment with, my son, when he was pre-teen used a nail or a paperclip and learned a valuable lesson.
I've been shocked so many times over the years that I almost got used to it, except for the time I had a transmitter chassis on it's side gripping it with my right hand and adjusting a potentiometer with my left hand when my thumb touched the top of a filter condenser, 750 VDC @ 1/4 amp. I look back at those times and wonder how I even made it to 78 years, that voltage with that amount of current can kill, I still have a faint scar on my thumb that reminds me what I went through so many years ago.
