Keystone State Thread

This month went by so quickly. I swear, the older I get, the faster time seems to move.

 

Good morning all.

Balmy 23 degrees out for my ride to work this morning. Heated gear was working, I stayed warm. Looking for above 50 later today, hope to get the new bike washed thoroughly so I can start installing the new stuff that's arriving.

 

Just had this conversation with my aunt last week.

 

Grandson out the door for school, wife out the door for work, morning walk with the dog and a load of laundry all done. Now off to the chiropractor for my monthly visit. It's not bad outside at all. It's cool, but sunny, a decent day for this time of year.

 

That's because as we age each year becomes a smaller percentage of your life. When you're an infant of 2 years a year equals 50% of your life. When you hit age 50 a year has only been 2% of your life.

 

Could be. I remember as a kid you just didn't seem to have as much to do, especially back before all the technology. Now, i keep busy, even when I bored.

 

Mornin' - looks like my residency in PA will start in Jan. Waiting for the septic final 'fix' and then inspection; then it's already christmas so, yeah, looking at mid jan before it closes.

 

I wish YINZ luck. Better pic up some PA lingo. Well maybe yinz is more sw pa.

 

Oh man. I hadn't thought about that. Last time I was at some sub jawn in Phila, i remember hear'en some crazy speak. Not worse/more-weird than native Baltimoreans though. That accent puts me directly on the struggle bus, and I've literally lived and travelled around the world and take pride in my communication skills. I hope you'ns will be patient with me.

 

To you guys that know electrical. My bedroom light switch stopped working and when I put it out the switch only had 2 wires going to it. Picture will be posted. I bought a new switch I just not comfortable trying to figure out. I tried getting in touch with my brother but he works in the city and probably can't answer me right now. The wiring is old in the house. I'm just used to seeing 3 wires not 2. I know I'm rambling

 

Ur good. U just don't have a ground. 1 hot and 1 switch leg.

 

If u can see a ground coming out of that romex and going to the box , u can if u want take a separate ground tail from the box to ur green screw on ur new switch. Oh turn off power first.

 

Appreciate the info. Thank you sir

 

Anytime. If u want to talk about it send me a DM with ur #

 

Looking at electrical is like trying a new language to me. I'll just hook it up like you first said. How bad is the shock if I chose not to turn the power off lol

 

Like jagoff is. If I had a dollar for every time my father said that word when I was kid I would have never had to work.
