The disconnect that nearly whooped me

I was out here yesterday and found this disconnect burnt and a weak capacitor. All right, I'm fogging doing this. Hey, and I realize how important it is that that it's happened to me. And I'm getting out of this sludge. I don't know. And so long ago now, I don't know if I can find out. I might be able to pull up and see if we registered it. I blessed again though, you know, with all the bad stuff happening. yes sir two fell hit the house well that's good yeah because my neighbor on the other side going north they had another one come down in their house and initially they had five on their house doing uh hurricane bikes look at this man that's some thick wire what were they thinking they had the power out here that's like number number four copper i guess when they put this house together because they try to put everything top shelf, you know? Big ol' thick wire. Years I was an instructor at the police academy, and you know what I used to tell people? What's that? Can't is no longer in your vocabulary. I never, I never had to serve. I served four years after doing Vietnam crisis, and then after being out 20 years, I went into the Army Guard. I stayed in there until they gave me a medical. Oldest son lives in South Carolina. Not a bad place to be. He's in Camden. Yes, sir. goes in around 280. yeah that's that's large but hey my youngest son my next son at one time he was up to 378. that's too big yeah he's down to 220. ain't going nowhere big old wires those things are huge worked out doing the same kind of work up there yeah but at the time you know i was doing duct work and yet realized i've been down here for over 20 years guess what me too as a matter As a matter of fact, what's the date, the 28th? 27 years. Gotcha. This thing's gonna make me start cussing here in a second. Deep breath and get up. They should have known better to run this great big old wire out here. Well, you figure they did that in 93. I mean, what in the world were they trying to power? That's big. That's bigger than what you need for your air handler. Why are that big? It's hard to move. To bend and put it where you want it. I have both Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Florida, Tennessee, Pennsylvania, New York, New Jersey, Cincinnati, Ohio. Been a lot of nice people in my travels. Tell you what, this thing's been giving me a hard time, but I'm fixing it. I'm gonna conquer it. I'm gonna get it. You'll probably never have to go into there again, then. Well, let's hope not, at least now. It's not one of those Square D disconnects. That'll last a lot longer.
