When equipment problems are chronic, and the answer is far from obvious, sometimes all that we can do .... is laugh.
When I'm stonewalled, I look at these little guys in my office, and I think to myself ... GREMLINS ! !
Because, think about it. What is the first thing that you say to yourself when you finally DO find the problem?
HOW DID THIS GET IN HERE ! ! ?

May '04 - Have accepted a new position in the Power House. There's lots of stories to be told in the power generating field. Someday I'll get back around to writing about them. For now I am taking a hiatus from writing. For those of you new to the site I have written well over a hundred stories, each one different. I am compiling them and will put them on a CD in Adobe format.
