Too dependent on China - an electrician's perspective
I've been an electrician in the St Louis area for a few years now and have never had difficulty getting parts that I needed until recently. The company that I work for does quite a bit of business with

Just another day at the office
I went to a customer's house yesterday. Apparently they had lost power to their detached garage. After checking the panel and making sure there was power leaving the house, I tried to open the conduit

Err on an e strong
So I decided that I've been spending way too much time on my phone. Yesterday I got a 1 year subscription to Fender Guitar's website to help motivate me to learn to play. I started pretty much from the

Stood up again?
As I sat in the cafe sipping coffee, I noticed a guy over in the corner with a finger jammed into his ear up to about the second knuckle. It looked like he was mining for ear wax. The nugget he pulled

I make it a point...
I make it a point to get fact checked by Facebook as often as I can. A couple of weeks ago they throttled me. I could read stuff but couldn't post or reply. I've had several things marked as "false"

Sunday coffee
As I sit here every Sunday sipping coffee, I have to wonder what fresh hell awaits. Will there be more riots? Will Karen raise her ugly head in the places where I have to do business? Will I have to hang

Use your leaves!
I work in quite a few affluent communities around St. Louis. One thing that the residents of these communities seem to have in common is that nobody does their own yard work unless it's their thing. They

Archive everything!
It is time to start archiving. Actually, It's well past time to do that, but you can still start. With the MSM denying or down playing riots, arson, thievery, etc., we may at some point have to pull out

My first watercolor
I have recently taken up painting - and by recently, I mean yesterday. My granddaughters probably would have done better. They're 7 and 5 and are quite artistic. I can draw but am terribly of practice.

Time's up!

Alone in the snow
Until recently he'd never taken the time to watch it snow. There was always something to be done. There were always fires to be put out. Then the EMP happened. Now there was time for whatever he wanted
