I cut, stripped wires, and installed the 3 wire outlet this morning. Of course, the outlet was mismarked on the breaker panel, but I learned long ago to check.That outlet is now what I call standard, at least from anything less than 75 years ago. The house in North Carolina used two-prong outlets, with cloth-covered two-wire conductors, throughout the house. It was built in 1948. For anybody else that remembers the story, the bomb shelter was built in 1961.

Speaking of searching, can the search engine be reduced to 3 letters or more vice 4 letters? I can't find squat with that limitation as a lot of acronyms are 3 letters or less, or at least what I am looking for.

When I search like that, I add a qualifier after the letters. Like "ABS brakes".

Ive never seen that plug, a polarized two-prong plug, interesting.

Some of my older power tools are like that...new in the 70's

Need to bring my sunglasses with me tomorrow. Although the photo does not show the glare I see, the sun is blinding to any 40 mph biker's that speeds pass you on weekends. Have to be alert, they could very easily hit myself or Murphy. Swal

It's real Kusojiji that was this morning at 7am on the Put Rail Trail. I could not see what you're seeing in the photo because the sun was so blinding. I said in one of my posts I had worked a freight on this same trail in 1969 and then they completely shut down the line right after that. Swal

Mine is followed by two numbers...

I flipped over to the MRH forum to see if David (NorthBrit) was active there. He hasn't posted there, either, since March of this year.

Good Morning. And Happy Sunday. 42° and sunny in Coastal Jersey.

I was awakened by the sound of a School Bus this morning, which more or less defines how much things have changed here, (As well as how much our country has changed), over the 41 years I have lived here.

Tampa Bay evened it's ALCS series against the Cleveland Baseball team.
The Devils lost to the Capitals 4-2. The Filthy Flyers won their first game this season.
Auburn upset the Dawg with a last minute FG.
Y'all have a great Sunday.

That would of been about the time he stopped posting here as well.

There was another forum he posted on for a while longer than March but I cant find the thread, though I didn't spend much time
looking.

Good morning all!

Should be a perfect fall day. Currently its 46F. High is supposed to be 63F under mostly sunny skies. Cant get much better than that!

Slept in a bit this morning after waking up at 5:30 which is rare for me.

Not much on the agenda for today since most everything was done yesterday. I am going to mow and mulch up what few leaves have come
down.

Daughter is leaving in a little while to attend a volleyball game at the University of Illinois today with a couple friends. She is really getting into
college volleyball.

Have a safe day everyone!

I still have a Craftsman jigsaw configured like that. My Makita DA sander is also like that and it's only about 20 years old.
