Abridged version - Alarm system transformer + power supply

Cheesh! I KNOW ..... already!!!!!!!!!!!!

I was working on the main circuit breaker panel, and,

1. I shut off the 200A service & the generator kicked in.
2. The alarm complained with a loud beeeeeep until I shut off the generator. Next day ...
3. My alarm stopped working
4. I replaced the transformer
5. Now it works again but without battery backup
6. I will replace the battery
7. And I will replace the battery protection board

Then I'll be done!

Thanks.

That *is* a coincidence.

Today during non-fire testing, one of the three main rockets on the Titan booster tested bad. During a lull in the rain, our crew of sixteen technicians, unbolted the rocket and replaced it with a spare. It took 143 minutes and they finished just before the rain started again.

The new engine tested well in situ, and the Thanksgiving launch of the first Turkey in Space is scheduled to launch Thursday at 10AM EST as planned. If I may quote you, "Now it works again".

I thought we were using leftover Russian moon rocket engines? ^_^

TDD

Didn't I hear they are made in China, and imported by Walmart. Clinton sold them the technology, during his campaign.

Nope, NASA actually used some Russian rocket motors. ^_^

TDD

Because the US government is incapable of doing anything, anymore.

Look at who dumbass voters put in charge. Now many of them realize just how badly they have been deceived and that they fell for all the flash and showmanship of The Democrat Party. Of course, too many of them still believe in The Tooth Fairy and that their Messiah will give them free money and stuff. ^_^

TDD

Those very same dumbass voters are the reason that the US can't accomplish anything anymore. Flash over substance wins every time, except when it comes to eating, there has to be some substance. They'll soon find out.

Not using metric system is another possible reason getting beaten by Russians at the start line.

Don't be absurd.

Hi, Do you think Democrat and Republican(up here Liberal and Conservative) are different? Why then people complain no matter who governs. They are same all crooked bunch with different name and color. I feel like at times we need BLOODY revolution like French revolution..... It's funny you must be at voting age too. Calling yourself dumbass?, LOL! Relax, keep your BP down, no use bitching. Just take care of yourself best you can. That's what I do.

If you think they're the same you're even crazier than you let on here.

Lefties always whine, just as they always lie. You seem to fit the bill.

You lefties *will* lose.

I didn't vote for socialism, idiot.

That's all you lefties care about, "taking care of yourself". Plunder and spend.

All my measuring instruments are marked with metric units but my brain hasn't been totally converted into metric. ^_^

TDD

Hmm, I am leftie, I kick and punch from left eat and write from right. I never bothered any one, never took a penny from welfare system. All my life I paid my tax, I don't have criminal record. Not even a speeding ticket, so am I leftie? Well I even served for your military overseas number of years.

I heard Wal Mart is doing food drive for it's own employees, McDonald telling their low wage workers to take second job to survive. Are they lefties or what?

Hi, I grew up with Metric system. And I had to learn imperial system quick. Only problem with Imperial system is poor accuracy. My BIL was air force Kiwi constructing air base, designing pipe lines, oil storage tanks,etc. Here we live in oil country, pipe lines criss cross every where. He mentioned once difficulty in maintaining tight tolerance with inch-pound units vs. metric. How do we do logarithm, measuring decibel, how do we do all the high level math. in in.-lb. After converting to Metric I guess. I was a radio repairman for field artillery unit in the service. We used Metric. Kids here learn in Metric. Hospitals use Metric. Speed road signs are all Metric, etc.

The U.S. military went metric for most things many years ago. I remember the TV reports from Vietnam where soldiers were describing the distance of some event in meters. Personally, I like The Metric System. I can almost look at a bolt head and pick the proper metric socket. ^_^

TDD

And lie out of both sides.

Whoopie.

All irrelevant.

You "heard". You *are* a lefty.

Clueless. There is no difference. There can't be.

He isn't any brighter than you are, then.

Utter nonsense. Electronics is mostly metric, but also uses base 2,

8, 16, and logarithms with base e. I do this stuff daily, yet have no problem doing woodworking in inch-feet and pounds. Some of my tools are metric. No problem. The calibration marks aren't normally necessary anyway. If they are, the conversion is trivial.

Who cares what you do? Knock yourself out. You've said nothing that supports your asinine position.
