Huh, would you look at that. The coworker who's somehow not gotten himself fired for years, despite some very questionable behavior, appears to have finally gotten himself fired.

what'd he do to finally cross that finish line?
No word, yet. Just an email announcing his departure, effective immediately.
But given his past misogynistic, xenophobic, and generally inappropriate behavior, it was always a question of when, not if.
Was supposed to be doing two different rides in Marquette today. Had to cut #1 slightly short as the weather moved in - monster t-storm. Second won't be happening. Hopefully better weather tomorrow as we move towards Copper Harbor
Damn it all to hell, just found the new kitten barley grasping onto life. Took her back to shelter, and they said she's past saving. Cant wait to tell the kiddo her new kitten died. . .
so the electrician is here now... apparently, I have an electrified neutral? if I understand correctly, there's 240v coming through the circuit... which is too much for anything to work properly. he's checking the receptacles to see if if can see where the problem is.
He also mentioned that our panel (a Federal Pioneer) has a recall on it, and should be replaced... the company has gone bankrupt a few times so the recall can't be enforced, and cost is to be borne by homeowners?
yay!
Slow day so I grabbed another yard of river rocks to finish out the back yard. My back won't care for it, but it will be nice to be "done".
Ya. . . She was super tiny. 10 weeks old and only 1.3lbs. I had a hunch she wasn’t very healthy, but Madelyn really liked her and she was very sweet. Damn it
I have now sent the same email a dozen times this morning. Various recipients for various reasons, including resending the exact same information in a reformatted table because someone couldn’t be bothered to do the math.
any idea the cause?
copypasta
No, the vet at the shelter almost seemed like she had expected us to be back. They were going to do some testing on her.
Planning to get a larger/healthier looking kitten next round. . . Tomorrow
I thought you'd used an outlet tester. Wouldn't that have been exactly the kind of wiring error it should pick up?
Haven't kept up with this story but kittens are damaged by bouts of starvation and might die at any time for months.
yeah. but something's just
He also found that my main panel is no longer grounded properly. He called it a "floating ground" I think? I guess during earlier renos, a portion of the copper water pipe that was used as the connection to ground was replaced with plastic pipe. In checking the circuit, he found that the neutral and ground had a voltage, and he thinks that's what might be causing it. He didn't have bare copper wire with him, so he has to come back. good times I tell ya.
Also, panel has corrosion on the inside. Likely because the connection through the foundation isn't sealed and insulated. Cold air coming in and meeting warm air from the house = condensation = rust. Luckily the terminals are good.
sigh.
yeah, but something's just not adding up. He's isolated each receptacle and tested them individually. Nothing obvious stood out, but things are working again. for now

got the wifey a record player and some powered speakers for her bday. seemed funny since the only records in the house are my punk/hardcore collection, but i got her a few discs of artists she likes...kind of a gift for me too, eh?
one of our cats had FIP, that was an experience. black market pet drugs!
Residential contractors are the fucking worst. It's never a guy who used to be a psychics professor, it's always some dumbass goober looking to do as little as possible and leave as soon as possible.
One of my fingernails got peeled back, now I need to decide whether to trim it back and suffer the worst hang nail for months as it regrows, or just rip it out from the cuticle.
Spoiler alert, not the first time this has happened, rip it out.

I just had mine replaced last year due to corrosion. The expense sucked, but it was long overdue.
Did another 20 yesterday and was going for 22 today but wound up stopping at 15 miles because a thunderstorm rolled through. Got the tent pitched just in time.
