I have a Ron Paul 2012 sweatshirt I wear sometimes when I'm working around the office. Plain blue and red serif letters on a grey shirt - I get a lot of squinty eyed looks when I wear it. I never had that before Trump, people see what is obviously a political candidate shirt and immediately assume Trump.

My gas bill is getting weirder and weirder.

You may recall that, last month, I got a bill for a little over $27,000. Emails were exchanged, and they promised to correct the issue.

This came today:




A part of me is worried that they're going to shut off the service if I don't pay them $-62.18.

I think it's more likely that they will send you anti-electricity, making electrical appliances run in reverse, thereby sucking all the light out of the rooms, cooking the food in the fridge, and freezing the roast in the oven.

You over paid last month and that is the credit you have on your account. At least that is what I expect that to be.

I didn't pay anything last month, because of the $27,000 bill which I assumed to be erroneous. The month before that, I paid the exact amount on the bill, resulting in a zero balance.

Can you actually buy yellow/orange/brown pre-wound on a single spool like that, or did you guys wind it up separately?

I finally found something interesting to post. I went to college and got undergrad/grad degrees in violin performance...used to be a professional violinist and heard stories about a piano professor that could something similar, possibly singing and whistling at the same time. Unfortunately I was never invited to a party to which he attended and drunkenly showed off his bizarre musical skills.

You order it cut to length. So on that spool there is 3 different 250' strands of each color(3 phase).(with the ground 12 wires total, 4 in each conduit) They wind it on the spool for you. The inner part of the spool spins and the outer part that sits on the ground is stationary.


Chugger at the other end gets bolted to the floor.
Rigged up looks like this.

Interesting.

We still do it like cavemen, with separate, smaller, (non-internally spinning) spools on a dispensing tree.


Ironically, the new transmitter I'm getting ready to install, despite being nearly twice as powerful than my current transmitter, will only accept 208v, whereas my existing 21 year old transmitter takes 480v directly. So we gotta also install a 225kva transformer. Which annoys me.

I had to edit for clarity. I have the same problem with not reading important emails before hitting send.

Typically I'm not on the throne typing Into the phone with those though.
