Subject: OT:First cold wave and no power


We had our first cold wave out in the desert last night, had to turn on the
heating system, sometime during the night the cicrit braker failed. Right
now I've got everything in the trailer running off of one plug that still
works. Got to find out wich one it is and see if I can replace it. So I have
some more heat.

I did have my scope out last night a bit, because of those blasted lights on
the casnio and the park owner now buring his 150w porch light 24/7 I had to
go out into the driveway and set up with traffic cones around so noone would
run me over, to scope out M42 and some of the sights there.

heh, I just walked out to my back yard, turned off the yard light, and
couldnt see my fingernails on my hand, and my hand was a bit hard to
see also.

The park owner has gone to his mothers for tday, and I'm not real sure, but
his porch light just might burn out late tonight too.

I just spent the day clening the CB'rs of the trailer power and then finding
the trouble was caused by a switch inside the heat system for the trailer.
Got it replaced but tommor I'll have to use my dreamal tool to grind the
hole it suppost to go into a bit bigger.
