I love Fridays!!!

I love Fridays!!

My panel dividing saw at work went down Wednesday after a power
surge, and I spent most of the day Thursday on and off of the phone
with a technician in Charlotte, NC, trying to track down the source of the problem.
Since I am what I call "schematically challenged", this can be a difficult
task. Finally we determined if that it was a faulty auxiliary contactor
that is part of the safety control voltage system. Without control voltage,
no saw, no cut wood, no make furniture. I just ordered the part by the 5pm EST
cut off, and got it on the UPS truck. I called a very talented local technician
Dave Gullet, and today he came out to install the contactor. He determined
that it wasn't a auxiliary contactor, but a faulty emergency push button switch.
He temporality bypassed it and it worked!! The saw was making furniture again!!

It was such a beautiful day today, that after work I took the dogs up
to the park and decided to have an impromptu "That'l do" (come here) and
"Lie Down" (self explanatory) session. All I needed was a Chuckit Launcher,
a tennis ball, and the boys (my Buck and Diane's Ray). They had a blast running
and barking at one another. They also did really good at listening to me and my
commands, I was a proud Dad!!!

I don't have children (at least that I know of) but I tell you what, I get and idea
what joy parents must have when their children take a nap and experience
the quiet, because tonight as I type this, both dogs are sound asleep at my feet
as I clack away at the keyboard! OH WHAT JOY!!!!

I love Fridays!!
