Not Again

I managed to get some things cleaned up and organized after the mess of the past couple days. I had some surge suppressors sent down from Quito on Tuesday, and put the last of those in place today. I did discover yesterday a bad parallel port (for connecting printers) on Steve's computer, and a bad network adapter on another computer. Then, after the work I did to ground the outlet in our attic for the network hub, I lost another one up there. At 2:30 AM last night lightning must have struck somewhere on the base. The boom was terrific, and I think I lifted a foot off of the bed. Guess that was what did the hub in. So, today I went a step farther, and connected the hub directly to the ground on the outlet, since the hub only has a two-prong plug.

Today there was a few thunder rumbles in the afternoon, and some lightning, but nothing serious. I think that was because it was a much cooler day. It drizzled and rained all day long. A rare day when I was actually cold in Shell. Only one flight completed, and I'm surprised that Fred even managed to get back home again when he did.
