@Mik You probably get the weekly email from them about the power quality at your house. It includes a "save of the week" story. Don't know about you, but when we got it I thought it was really about finding problems in side a home's electrical system, but it seems like a lot of the problems that are detected are coming from the utility.

From Ting's Feb update:
Link to videoWhen over 1 million homes lost power during Winter Storm Fern last month, the Ting electrical safety network delivered real-time, neighborhood-level outage data to emergency responders. These insights help prioritize response and reduce risks like home fires, flooding from frozen pipes, and serious impacts for entire communities

A little blip in the system. Ting recorded it.

I wanted to post "tang" but thought better about it. : )
Just yesterday replaced the power cords (a couple were at least 40 yrs old!) and rearranged everything I have plugged into them.
I haven't learned to use my fire extinguishers (I know - super dumb) yet or my very unusual trap door.
I will.
My father was an electrician. I miss being able to ask him questions.

I was grocery shopping this afternoon and almost bought some Tang but after reading the ingredient list decided to skip it. I was looking for packets of Kool-Aid like we had when I was a child and the Kool-Aid products brought me to where the Tang is shelved. Anyway, they didn't have any packets of Kool-Aid, just big jars of it. Oh well. I was going to make frozen Kool-Aid pops like we used to make. I looked at the ingredients for Kool-Aid. Holy-moly, it's loaded with sugar. I skipped it too.

Unusual trap door?
Fire extinguishers have become extremely easy to use. Latest ones I was trained on, you:
Pulled a locking ring to release a pin
Pointed nozzle at fire
Squeezed lever
The powder type spray dealt with all types of fire.(No more turning a big heavy cylinder upside down for water spray
No thoughts about not holding the funnel for icy pressurised gas)
