In at least one other lab I'm aware of, there are several circuits with their hot wires running through a chase so the computers aren't all on the same one... but I think (not sure) all the circuits share a single neutral wire. Sometimes I'm surprised the place hasn't burned down already. I haven't delved too deeply into what's going on there, but as far as I can tell, all this is happening between the breaker box and the outlets, at the 120V level. I doubt if any kid of phase balancing is going on this far down the chain. David Sitting on my butt while others boldly go, Waiting for a message from a small furry creature from Alpha Centauri. |

Morning win, more or less. I clean out the bin for My cats litter box twice a week, Graces box stays much cleaner and since the litter I use is corn based, I just flush the used litter and such down the drain, this can not and should not be done with clay or wood based litters, one gets sticky in water and wood just floats. Of course the rake on the litterbox has 8oz of stick on tire weights added to the rakes back side, which is just peel and stick on a clean surface and then set and forget, no lubricants or sprays needed, Mine has been modified like this for almost 3 years, no one at Littermaid said I should not do this either as I've mentioned this on their own website. My Littermaid Mega Elite works great and it's about to do another run now, Grace never goes on the carpet... The T1 Trust, PRR T1 Class 4-4-4-4 #5550, 1 of America's First HST's |

Still ain't seen any Ides yet ... yawn .... Maybe somebody is using the Julian Calendar? or the Hebrew one? Or is still trying to find a supplier of Maya Calendars? A person who won't read has no advantage over one who can't read. (Mark Twain) |

Sorry, but Herman has left the building... Herman as in Herman Munster, would never do that, but then He has a face good enough to stop a clock... And is madly in love with His wife Lily... The T1 Trust, PRR T1 Class 4-4-4-4 #5550, 1 of America's First HST's |

Winning sitting down after over an hour and a half on my feet doing inventory in the most difficult aisle of the library to do that in. My arms are aching. So is my back. After lunch (all three periods of it) I'll tackle the other side of the aisle, which is almost as hard to do. And that'll be my day.

If you want to see me go OCD you put me in a library where books have wandered all over the place. what's 392 doing amonst 932 (ancient Egypt) pray? Lexicographic ordering anyone? You put one book back, you find 5 more that have gone astray... A person who won't read has no advantage over one who can't read. (Mark Twain) |

Winning on a sunny morning, after a long and busy weekend. Friday and Saturday at the FRA West Coast Region Mid-Year meeting in Vallejo. Sunday 4 hours on the road, then run Bingo. Got home to find my neighbor's dogs in my yard again. Got them back home and fixed the fence - will have a few choice words with their owner later today. A light dinner and a good night's sleep in my own bed. Winning! Donald Infernal Optimist / Submariner, retired |

If you want to see me go OCD you put me in a library where books have wandered all over the place. what's 392 doing amonst 932 (ancient Egypt) pray? A lot of that happens. Sometimes it's even our own fault, but mostly it's kids either not caring where they put the books, hiding them for some reason, or occasionally hiding an overdue book on the shelf so they can later claim they returned it on time. All morning, barcode reader <beep>, computer <boop>, <beep> <boop>, <beep> <boop>, <beep> <boop>, <beep> <boop>, <beep> <chirp>, uh oh, something's out of order, take a minute to fix it and straighten out my back. Now where did I leave off? <beep> <boop>, <beep> <boop>, <beep> <boop>, <beep> <boop>, <beep> <silence>, now what? "Alexandria Librarian has lost the connection to the data station." Wait a couple minutes for it to come back, then repeat the last book. Which one was that again? <beep> <boop>, <beep> <boop>, <beep> <boop>, <beep> <boop>, <beep> <boop>, <beep> <doof>. Okay, is that a misread or a book that got deleted for some reason? At least a few extra seconds to investigate, hit Enter to clear the message, try again. Where was I? <beep> <boop>, <beep> <boop>, <beep> <boop>, <beep> <boop>, <beep> <boop>, <beep> <boop>....... And if there's a problem with the book, such as it was deleted, pull it to fix later.

Beep! You look a little pale, young man! Ooops. I think that beep exhausted him... Good to see you around, Celt. A person who won't read has no advantage over one who can't read. (Mark Twain) |
