Cliff nores version, had a chenmical stress test yesterday. Dr. Calls a few hours later and says I'm plaque free in my arteries. Thats great! Decided to take today off work along with the Mrs. Head down to our place at the coast ( haven't been since Oct.) Deer season got in the way and the offshore forecast sucked everytime I could go.
Set the thermostat for 68 * and didnt think anymore of it. Made it to the coast unscathed and walked in the house,colder than a wirches tittie! Damn, soent the next two hours on the phone with my HVAC guy 220 miles away trouble shooting and trying things Bypassed everything even trying to get it to just run on emergency heat. Pops small 5 amp fuse in about 45 seconds. Brand new system just put in back in the summer. A/C worked great all summer. The fan will run but as soon as the heat tries to come on popped fuse. Oh well. Change gears. Space heaters and we will survive. I brought a 2 gallon bucket of 44 mag brass to tumble and get ready to load. I looked this morning and its 45 long colt with about 200 44 mags mixed in. Oh well a least its sorted now an 44 is tumbling. Damn. I have an old 99 model suburban that stays @ the coast. I knew the battery woul.be dead as a hammer so I was going to put the charger on it this morning. No go cant find my battery charger anywhere. Damn. And yhe worst part is Mrs. Says no heat, no.......
I swear if I won a five gallon bucket of puzzies everyone would already have a dik in it. Damn. Rant over...

.....but you're still occupying space and converting oxygen to CO2! Be happy! Don't worry! It could be "worser"!
BTW! Spent 2.5 hours in an orthopedic clinic yesterday due to hip pain. Kinda figured what the problem was. Every time I sit down or turn on my right foot, the hip sounds like it's grinding gravel. Sure enough! Right hip is history! Bone-on-bone! 😖 I'm miffed! Then, I watch the folks coming in and out of the clinic as they run me through pre-op testing. (EKG, blood/urine samples and chest x-rays) I'm just pretty damned lucky! There's some folks here in a LOT worse shape than I am! 😉

I had a similar problem once. It was difficult to find, but eventually a naked spot on a wire showed up. It had vibrated against the cover until it rubbed a bare spot on the wire's insulation and was shorting out against the cover. Electrical tape and repositioning the wire harness away from the sheet metal solved the problem.

Well.... took a breath. Took the lovely Mrs. Featherweight to breakfast and then went to Harbor Freight. I bought a new 6 in bench grinder and a couple of wire wheels. Brass and steel, a new router and a new battery charger. Stuff I just needed and I had 30% off. Went to Wally zone and bought a small ceramic space heater,then to advance auto to get some fuses. Called Jack ( HVAC bud) and spent an hour working over the phone with him and got the heat working. Yippee. Put charger on the burb while working on hvac. Burb blasted right off. Yeah! Hooked up water hose and blasted off both 200HP Yamahas on boat and let them run for about 10 minutes each. Also the J Deere blasted off so I mowed the yard so it would be an even mess instead of an uneven mess. 44 mag brass is clean and Im in a lot better mood than I was 18 hours ago. In reality I'm blessed beyond what I deserve .

Usually if it takes out the small fuse it it's in the thermostat circut.Similar to what Gregg said.

Cold air,A/C is on hot air heat is on, lol. We by passed the "emergency" side and am just using the heat pump side somehow. IDK. I traced out every wire for a nick or anything wrong last night and again today. I didnt find anything wrong. The white wire is dis-connected temporarily and he has some part ordered that will be here Tuesday. This is a wifi t- stat that works through my phone. Its 68 * in here now and Mrs. Featherweight is happy. All quiet on the coastal front.

I think having a few moments of frustration and stress now and then may be a good thing.
Last night I found that my phone was not working and I had a text telling me my settings had been updated, and if I did not make those changes to call a certain number. I was unable to get through on the phone, the system kept trying to make me buy more air time. I was unable to log in on my phone account and the site wouldn't even let me reset my password because it did not like the zip code I entered. I finally got through to a human on the phone and spoke to her for a few minutes, then the call dropped before anything got fixed.
I went to bed worried, realizing that if someone were able to hack my phone and my email, they could own my life. That's a terrifying thought and I did not sleep well, and I woke up thinking about my predicament and with a sense of dread.
I got through on the phone again this morning and spoke to a human who was able to put things back together. It took over an hour to get it all straightened out, but once it was I felt like I was walking on air. None of it was near as bad as I had thought.
I guess what they say about a little rain, and the sunshine, is all true.
Don't be the darkness.

Yeah not funny at all. Wife and I had our Id's stolen or whatever you want to call it a few years ago. Terrifying having to call and lock bank accts. 401ks , credit cards etc. All the while thinking your bank balances are going to be 0.00 I discovered it within 3 days, and "they" had filed our taxes, and charged over 5000.00 on 2 different cards. I knew something was wrong when I tried my CC @ Wally and it wouldn't go through. I went straight home and started securing everything. "They" got almost 4 grand in tax refund alone. Took right @ 2 years to get our refund. Also we have t paper file our taxes now with a code the IRS sends both of us each fall. PITA. Now we have our payroll deductions set up so we owe at the end of the year. Any charge on a card over 10.00 creates a notice via email in less than a minute. Bastards.

I was actually making a joke, but you're right. Identity theft is one of the scariest things the 21st century has visited upon us yet. We watched "It's a Wonderful Life" this year as we always do around Christmas (I call it the George Bailey Show). I can imagine being essentially in that position, at least financially...and permanently. Truly terrifying.
Didn't mean to highjack and completely derail your thread. Sorry.
