What Did You Do Today???

[leedude1]

My sympathy Uri... never easy.

Rd...man, and I thought I had a rough weekend. You win.

Rob,

I got a small champion 1500..they were on special and come with a 3 yr guarantee and in all honesty just enough for my hauling to the field purposes.

I got tired of spending hours the evening before ...now its charge a couple and the rest charge and fly as I go.

 

[D.O.G.]

I'm very sorry to here that URI. Any death in the family isn't easy. We're all here for you. Take care, God Bless and be strong.

Correction...

If your's wasn't as rough... then you won, I lost .... LMAO


Other than the part of me finding out all of that last minute before I was trying to go to bed, it really wasn't all that rough. Just a bit of running back and forth to find out what breakers were for what is probably the worst of it. Taking apart the breaker panel, socket and switch covers and components certainly wasn't what I'd call hard work, they just take a few minutes each... all told, that was only about an hour at most ( I didn't watch the clock on them ). Oh... I guess dragging a few downed branches was a little bit of work, still not a lot.

So you have 3 rooms going through one outlet? That is enough to make me paranoid lol.

That may exaggerate the issue...

The hall has one light and one socket ( duel of course )... the bathroom is just one 4 bulb light bar ( the socket is on it's own socket ) and then the light and sockets in the master bedroom.

 

[Tony]

Wait, the bathroom, all electrical plugs, lights or sockets, should all run through a GFCI since they are in a 'wet area'. But they are on separate circuits? Let me guess, your house is a pre '75 house?

 

[RandyDSok]

It's something like that... since I rent, I haven't seen the papers so I'm uncertain exactly when it was built.

It sucks when you have to map a circuit box. Our house is a little of a mess with the panel. I have a 15 page layout of how the house is wired. Not much in the box is labeled. So in have to refer to this dissertation to find breakers. We also have a small extension panel next to it. This is carrying another 5 breakers because of all the wording in the house. I hate working on our set up, just hate it.

I have another 2 breaker box on the 220 line under the cook top. Shortly after the house was built the owners son thought it would.be nice to have a breaker box under the stove for cleaning purposes. The old cook top had the coil burners and lifted for cleaning. Gotta keep mom safe I guess.

 

[murankar]

GFCI ibthink only pertains to outlets within 3 feet of water sources. You can however run multiple outlets off of one GFCI. This will also depend on state building codes.

In Ohio as long as the first outlet is GFCI in the daisy chain your good. We have two outdoor outlets that are GFCIed in the basement near the breaker box. Keep in mind a unionized electrician wired the house. So I can only assume its done correctly and to code.

Not much happening today or this week. I lost another family member today. My step mothers mom died this morning. This was an inevitable fate. There were a few complications that could not be fixed. So over the course of the week I need to be available.


Next, this morning about an hour after that we got hit with a 10 second 4.0 earthquake (if I read the info correctly). The epicenter was just off the coast in lake Erie. That area has generated a good number of vibrations over the years.

Finally not sure what to get involved with right now. Weather is crap again, more rain. I did start my luggage rack platform. Still need to finish the framing. Once the framing is done all that's left is tie down points for luggage and a retention system to keep it on the car. I have the retention part solved I think. More on this later.

My condolences I lost my grandmother a few weeks ago. far as the earthquake never experianced that but i dont like shakey ground that would scare me worse then any tornado.

 

[leedude1]

Ok then you still won my man...

Cleaned the aquarium
Home depot trip for wood and quikrete
Reposted my backyard gate.
Installed the AC unit
Rebuilt and hung the gate and one fence section.
Then played hockey game sunday night.
But I did stop to look at my helis for 5 minutes

 

[murankar]

I should be outside finishing my luggage rack project. I think ill go out in a minute and work on it.


Thank you txrcnoob.

 

[leedude1]

If the wife doesnt have any surprise tasking for me, I may have the evening off and get to try that governor stuff and solder some motor connections.
I like when I fantasize with my eyes open like this.

I have been toying with obs trying to get a video upload of real flight 8. Finally got a video today after toying with setting but the quality is trash. And it also isnt good as far as the recording goes like frozen in place the skip then freeze the skip you cant really tell what is happening so I'm going to play around with it some more. My computer may not have the horsepower to run reslflift and the recorder smoothly. While I was making the recording realflight ran fine but the recording software may be requiring a lot.

 

[Stambo]

txrcnoob What video card do you have?

 

[RandyDSok]

Gaming and streaming at the same time will rely on both the GPU and CPU ... both will play roles in this

 

[murankar]

I missed a post in here. Ivan, thank you.


I have a rant. So as you all know I have been in a struggle at work with my supervisor. I am doing my best to work with this guy. Things have been a little better but not perfect.

When I went to Georgia I was kicked out of my desk and it was given to another manager. Okay I get it he's a manager and wants his desk to be in the production area, got it. So while i was gone my work area was moved to the production floor. Again, got it.

So I never changed my default password on my computer. Up till February I didn't have any reason to. No one messed with my stuff.
After I returned my manager informed me that he had logged into my account to fix a wireless issues I was having. So I changed my password to a really nasty password. It's very difficult to type kind of nasty. A couple weeks ago i found out that my new manager may have done some nefarious stuff while I was gone too. He had mentioned that he had gone through my computer. Leaving out a bunch of other stuff to speed this up.

Now on Monday I finally informed my boss that my computer is unregistered with Microsoft. He asked for the details so I did ipconfig /all, took screenshots of the registration screen so he can forward the info to the IT support company. Today he asked me for my log on credentials.

He knows I am an IT guy for the army. Why on gods green earth would I give him my new credentials? Apparently he does not realize that an admin account gives the IT department full access to the computer.

I so want to say so many restricted words right now. I just don't have words to describe the ineptness of this guy.

So I started my computer and windows failed to open. Had to reinstall windows and now I get to play the setup game again.... ugh...

 

[Tony]

So after a horrible start to the day, I tried to install 1903 and it failed. Reason given? "Your computer is not able to upgrade to windows 10". I'M FRIGGIN ON WINDOWS 10 YOU TWIT!!!!! So yea, something connected to the USB is causing some issues with 1903 and it will not update my computer at this time. But did it give me a port number? A Mac address? A device name? NOPE!!!! It's just one of the 50 different things that I have plugged into my system that is causing a problem... ugh....

 

[Tony]

Oh, and to add to everything above, I have lost all of the settings for everything I did and had setup for live streaming. Everything is gone because it deleted everything that was in appdata. Thank you windows, you suck!
