... and we have power. Still no network connectivity at the office, but at least the lights are on.
And it's confirmed. Some ****** in Arizona caused all this while he was servicing a 500Kv line. Since this is a pictures thread, the substation which started it all:
The conspiracy theories are roiling. As an engineer, I understand all too well that sometimes simple, stupid mistakes cause baffling and unexpected cascading failures of complex system. But that hasn't stopped the tinfoil-hat crowd.
Waiting to hear how this was the result of a conspiracy between the directors of the Western Electricity Coordinating Council, the Federal Reserve, and the SEC.

I believe the little fellow is the same one that is in our local Miata forum. He's pretty funny. One of the guys brought four tires to sell along with some other parts to one of the local wrenching days. The little guy posed for some pictures with him standing up in the middle of the tires with them stacked up. I don't remember his name.
Interesting group. A flamboyant young fellow who talks and acts entirely too much like a fashion designer brought champagne and vodka to the same event. He was very friendly.

I was browsing CR and saw his pictures posted in the recent picture thread.
Seems like a happy dude that enjoys planking on his miata. lol
Some randoms of the gigantic praying mantis that was on the side of the building last week. This ************ was close to 10", maybe bigger.

From Me to *********@*********.org:
Hello,
I am selling my 60-Disc Technics SL-MC4 CD changer. This thing is in excellent condition and works great. I have included a picture of it. I'm asking $75 for it. Please let me know if you are interested.
Best,
Mike

Mike, the CD player looks good. Does it have a remote? If so, I can pick it up tomorrow. Where do you live?
Steve
From Me to Steve *******:
Steve,
It does have a remote. Tomorrow works for me, I work in Manayunk near the hospital and can bring the CD player to work with me. We can meet anywhere around there in the afternoon.
Just one minor thing though, and I truly am sorry about this, but I accidentally tripped over the CD player in the dark earlier and chipped the side of the plastic cover. There isn't a screen there and it does not affect the performance whatsoever, but I just thought I should let you know. I've included a picture of the small chip.

From Steve ******* to Me:
No worries... That is fine. What's your phone number? Mine is 215-***-****.
From Me to Steve *******:
Steve, I'm really sorry, but I accidentally damaged it a little more. I really should have moved it out of the middle of the hallway, because I just tripped over it again. Unfortunately I was wearing steel-tipped boots and cracked the plastic cover around the screen. A few of the buttons got mashed in as well. You can still play songs 1, 2, 4, 5, 7, and 9, though. Or just use the remote. It still plays CDs fine, and I've included a picture of it powered on so you can see that it still works.
Once again, I am terribly sorry about this. I am going to knock $10 off of the price for your inconvenience.

From Steve ******* to Me:
Could you drop the price down to $50? That looks pretty bad.
From Me to Steve *******:
Sure. It is my fault for tripping over it anyway.
From Me to Steve *******:
Hey, it's me again. I was loading the CD player into my trunk to bring to work tomorrow, but then my friend called me and I got distracted. Long story short, I forgot the CD player was behind my car and I accidentally backed over it a little bit when I went to go to Wawa. Thankfully I hit the brakes before I crushed anything important, but the back frame is a little bent.
I assure you that the CD player still works. On the bright side, the car must have popped that chipped plastic cover off of the front, so now you can clearly see the real screen. I think it looks better, don't you? From the front, staring at it head on, you can't even tell that the back is bashed in like that. Seeing as I improved the looks from the front, I am going to bump the price back up to $60.
I am going to try my best to bend the metal frame back to the way it was. Once again, I am very sorry about this.
Mike
From Steve ******* to Me:
Are you kidding me? That thing is ruined. What a freaking klutz you are! How didn't you realize it was behind your car?
From Steve ******* to Me:
Oh, and you have the nerve to charge me MORE money for breaking it worse?
From Me to Steve *******:
Don't worry, I can fix it. I'm working on fixing it right now.
From Me to Steve *******:
Okay, I've got good news and bad news. The good news is, the CD player still works. The bad news is that I was smoking a cigar while I was trying to repair it, and it accidentally set part of the CD player on fire.
As you can see from the picture, some of the CD player has melted. Thanks to my 2 months experience as a volunteer firefighter, my instincts kicked in and I was able to extinguish the flames with my coffee before too much of the CD player melted. It still can hold about 33-35 CDs, and all that stuff that melted on the right side wasn't important anyway.
Unfortunately, I drink expensive coffee and it was nearly full when I had to use it to put out the fire. Therefore, I am adding another $3 to the price of the CD player to bring the grand total to $63.
Once again, the CD player still works. I think it sounds even better than before. It is now in my trunk and ready to be sold to you tomorrow. I'll give you a call when I have my lunch break so we can meet up for the sale.
Thanks,
Mike
From Steve ******* to Me:
You must be stupid if you think I'll pay $63 for the charred remains of your CD player. I can't believe how badly you managed to **** that thing up. How are you still alive? How have you managed to make it this far in life, when CLEARLY you are too foolish to keep even a CD player from being burned to a crisp? I really want to know! Please, Mike, tell me.
From Me to Steve *******:
I'm sorry if I upset you by bumping the price up to $63. Let's just call it $60. Deal?
From Steve ******* to Me:
...how are you this dumb?

Uhm, yes ma'am.
I think I'm afraid. But in a good way.
How many Rufies are you slipping into my drink?
I'm afraid.
This is better.
Is that a 9mm copy of a Colt?
And a shotgun? I am impressed.
Here's a better look at the pistol:
And that is definitely a 12 gauge.
And WAIT! Is that an AR15 copy? This bitch is loaded!
