Good Morning Porch Pals & Gals! Another fine looking morning for more of the same. One umbrella wired, the new one Scotch guarded. Wire that today, & pot veggies.
Wy wiring didn't go as planned; as I no one could locate the proper circuit breaker for the outlet replacement. Sorry lady, but you're going to have someone in the business trace it out. If it wasn't 1 foot off the ground, I might have been braver about pulling an outlet that said no volts with all the breakers on (after going through 1 by 1...)

Tom, not sure which ones you mean; or what you want to do. A string along the flat end that doesn't roll? Around the whole thing? Easy and cheap while you plot are those hanging string lights - which you can stick up solar versions for like $25 while you plot.
My shed and greenhouse "City Lights" are Harbor Freight AC strings - 3 of them, just On/Off on a photocell timer. I chose the AC over solar because I had an outlet handy, and the solar didn't have example of tying the strings together - and being shorter, I apparently would have had to have the cells in 4 different places. I opted simple.
Umbrella are just solar umbrella lights, whatever Amazon had in white. Can't always get white, so the two at the deep end are going color today!
The HUE is good stuff, having worked for that company. Instructions are Euro-centric, because Philips. It's China built, but in a Philips plant, so quality is more consistent.

 

Cool..

 

Congrats!

 

@Oldie2007 Outside receptacle? If so it's wired on the load side of a GFI receptacle which is tripped out in garage, basement, bathroom, or another outside receptacle.

 

So much big news! Congratulations Sue and Paul!!

I have some of my own. My wife got a call yesterday from Europe. Turns out that she had an uncle, on her mom's side, that nobody knew about. Something having to do with him being a smudge on the family name or something so they kind of disavowed him and never talked about him. Anyway, this guy passed away and Carol is the only living beneficiary. Long story short -- she just inherited a castle in Switzerland, and pot full of Euros to go with it!

 

Yeah, a string of four GFCI on a covered patio. Turned every breaker off one by one, and my circuit tester would stay lit. Used the voltmeter, still could not identify with everyone on and off. Four breakers labeled GFI among many. There was one that I thought was tripped, but it was firm either way after I rocked it back and forth. I had no faith that I ever got the correct one. Was told that someone "rewired" them before, but she had no idea what they did. Mysteries not at home are not something I do for cheap; a pro with a circuit tracer is needed! I already fixed her doorbell!

 

are you sure it not in Nigeria?

 

Good Morning everyone.

My old clicky-click Logitech G710+ keyboard bit the dust. Replaced by a new gamer keyboard just called Pro and a new G502 mouse. Gamer mouse so you can adjust the weight with up to five inserts. I like the weight, but I am still working on the sensitivity of the feeling.

For the first day, I thought a poltergeist had invaded my computer. I'd go to position the mouse only to have 20 cut and paste inserts. I kept trying to figure out what had happened. It turns out there is an app for the fancy keyboard and mouse. I had an old version, blocking the updated one from being loaded. The solution was to delete the old one, then install a new one, all while the keyboard and mouse were adding additional characters. I needed a ghostbuster.

Finally, have it sorted and back to use. The new keyboard is noisier, but I like the tactile feedback to know what my fingers have done. The mouse is behaving itself and is easier to use with my tremors. The old mouse got pounded to death by my tremor lifting the hitting the desktop. Never a dull moment.

It looks like a nice weather day. Yesterday, I got in some shopping and a "warm-up those legs" 20-mile ride. I have a 60-mile bike ride planned for tomorrow (10% chance of rain, but a nice shower is refreshing).

 

A Great Big CONGRATULATUONS Sue. Time to have some time for yourself.Enjoy...

CONGRATULATIONS Paul. Enjoy spoiling him. Cute little guy.

 

thanks Ken
