Not just tractors. I stopped at a food truck today. A single burger without cheese or fries, $11. $4.5 for fries, and $4 for can soda. Dont think so. Walked over to taco truck. They wanted $15 for 3 tacos. Dont think so Went to Red Robin, ate in air cond restaurant and had full meal for way...

Im surprised it lasted that long. I repair generators for a living, and you would not believe the number of these chepo Chinese generators i see. There also the only small portable units ive encountered that tend to blast houses with uneven power out of outlets. Like 200 volts on one phase and...

Your day was worst than mine last weekish…… Was chipping trees after wrangling tractor to exact part i wanted, then boom. Feed belt breaks. Had to pack everything up and haul it out with side by side than go get tractor. Went to dump logs in back of side by side and wife breaks off shift...

Harbor freight used to sell them in bulk also. Was a kit with several sizes. I lose them all the time. Lost one last week from my dump trailer rear door. I KNOW i placed it in my pocket. After dumping trailer….no pin. I like the idea of the chain. Why didnt i think of this years ago. Real...

I became an electrician many years ago because it was a job that could not be outsourced. Now i also see it as a job that cant be done by AI. And as for the topic, i dont see AI as “becoming dangerous”….it starts out dangerous.

You should see how many people ask on chat rooms how to disable CO detectors. Cant fix stupid.

When i inherited parents house in calif, i sold it because i live in idaho and didnt want to be a long distant landlord. I finally got out of my rental in idaho also, because i didnt want to be a landlord at all it seems. At the time i sold the idaho house (few years ago) we were making $900 per...

Seriously…how stupid can a person be…operates generator inside garage and nearly dies. https://www.yahoo.com/news/family-warns-public-narrowly-surviving-074500001.html

or your property monitor dude is running a covert grow operation

I got rid of my old tow behind mixer years ago. When i was pouring generator pads … up to 4 pads a day at times, i simply used wheelbarrow and a pallet of 60# bags on truck. Cleaning that mixer took me longer than mixing 6 sacks by hand. Never tried mixing in the bucket…..never will probibly.

Might have…not sure. I replaced the filter. All i know and am grateful for now is its working again. I asked the tech if there is a low/high pressure compressor kill switch like i have in my truck, but he didnt know.

No, thats a ct ( current transformer) remote read meter. Our utility companies here would install a graft meter at house panel and compare usage readings there to the ct meter. If theres a major difference……than have to find out where.

Weird as it may sound, its possible for a underground wire to be losing voltage thru the ground if wire is damaged. Also interior wiring issues can cause power spikes. Our power companies here will attach a meter to house and monitor usage for a few days. Check with your supplier

Sometimes i hate AC Units. My 5 year old ac outdoor unit compressor quit operating a few days ago. I opened it up and only read 4 amps draw on a 5 ton unit. Called my buddy whos an ac guy. He drops by next day (amazing in this hot spell) and stupid ac unit is working just fine. Like the car...
