• The TX electrical reliability council  has warned that with the Obama EPA coal fired powerplant chopping ax happening next year and the increase in population- that there would probably be (even more) rolling black-outs in the future..........there are suddenly no generators or motor-driven arc welders available in the SA craigslist.
• I've always had a very low tolerance for stupidity. I see Agirls husband does, too. I was going to leave this on my FB page, but decided to let you in on a part of my life at that sekrit AFB in San Antonio.

As part of the reworking of the electrical distribution system, we're burying 6" and 4" PVC conduit encased in cement for the primary. This includes setting transformers, switch gear and vaults (big concrete pull boxes- basically). I've been having to try to get Larry, Daryl and Daryl to actually....work since they hired on.

Last Weds they were told to clean off the ends of the pipe that got buried by the last rain- there were four ends going to two different trenches. On one of them, I was digging a 12'x12'x12' hole for a vault.

I had to tell them four times to go work on the other ones while I had that hole open-

Can you believe I had to tell those stupid f*cks to move the ladder?

• We had to get rid of some matting on the house-tribbles chest and pits with a petclippers. In the process I noticed we ended up cutting some of her whiskers. She doesn't seem to mind, but I'm wondering if they grow back?

UPDATE-
Thanks to BFH for the IOtW-lanch.
