It's been 24 hrs and no sign of the electric company. I called and got the boiler plate "There are lots of outages and down wires, we'll get to you eventually, but you have power so your way down on the list." Great, my sump pump keeps overheating and tripping the breaker every 20-30 mins, I need to get out to buy a new one, cause if this one dies, or catches fire -it's getting REALLY hot to the touch, I'm fucked. So I'm heading out to cut the branches that are across my driveway caught up in the power lines and move downed wires. DEATH OR GLORY!

If you can access the knife switch at the transformer do that, otherwise stand on dry ground and stop sawing just before the tension gives way and get the fuck back.

I just replaced mine for the same reason but there was a day laps from when I made the decision to when I installed it..I figured if the fucking thing lights on fire at least the resulting flood from it being off will put out the fire

..so there's that..

Couldn't shut it off, everything's wet and dripping and I was standing in 4" of slush, so I did everything wrong that you could.

An electric company worker showed up right after i posted that. He told me I probably wouldn't see anyone for at least a week. Then he goes over and starts pulling on the branches, shaking the wires and says I think your ok, then tells me to just cut what I had to, that you USUALLY you don't get zapped and if i start feeling "tingly" stop and get away. LMAO, fucking electricians. I got it cleaned up enough I can get out. Now I have to deal with the sump pump, probably going to be another fiasco.

Mines right under a wall mounted natural gas boiler, otherwise the fire thing wouldn't bother me, much, because there's nothing but concrete within 6ft of it.

My biggest problem is I haven't really slept in 2 nights because it keeps tripping the GFCI outlet every hour and a half, then my water alarm goes off so I need to reset the circuit and then stay up to keep reseting the circuit until the water level drops. I'm running 2 pumps, the first, older, one isn't keeping up with the rising water, so I added my smaller backup pump, which is newer but the one that's overheating and keeps tripping.

I probably have 2-3 more months of the pump running almost non stop, so this situation is getting fixed ASAP. All the stores have been sold out of pumps because we got heavy rain and flooding last weekend. Home Depot says they have some now, so I'm headed there shortly, gotta time it right. I only have an hour and a half to get back to make sure the second pump runs, shouldn't be an issue. . but I bet there will be, cause that's my life.

Should have handed him your chansaw and said usually you wont cut your own limbs off.

Almost sounds like you need a larger gage run the box.

Nah, I clearly remember you having a tattoo on your cock.




I had forgotten but for some gay reason I just remembered.

That was @iamnobody

burned in my brain broheim. And don't ask me why I have this problem with remembering everything. Sucks for sleep. Especially later tonight I'll randomly picture some strangers tattooed cock. Thanks... (I think it said "fuck" but he couldn't fit the K?.... mysteries. I'm diving in David Duchovny style on this one.

I remember it was tiny, the tattoo was small too.
