Can you believe...
the house is still clean?
Yeah, man.It is... so far. And, did I mention my little "terrorist buddy" showed up?
Oh, hell yeah... four days after Bo did. In and of itself, not so bad, but my ankles?
Oh mah Gawd.
What da FUCK is up widdat shit? When I was kid, I can remember liking legs with a-little-thicker-than-usual, strong looking ankles.
Mine were always slender (skinny) looking to me, much like a race horses are.
Well hell's bells...
The last coupla days, I've had the heavy ankle look going on and I don't like it no mo'! I'm pretty sure the swollen ankles has to do with my "little frien'", but why? What's the point, here?
I'd be surprised if there even is one. Anyway... everybody is fine.
Bo's doing great, especially since I haven't ridden him the last coupla days. I just keep driving down there and spraying him and Action, bringing them carrots and making sure they're okay (and STILL THERE...).
I also check 'em by binoculars a time or two a day. If they're by the gate, I can see 'em from the house. Speaking of the house and keeping in mind my "say it or be ready for it and it won't happen" rule... We hauled out and installed the air conditioners today.
When we went to check/spray/see the horses at dusk and realized it was cooler outside than in the house, we decided to break out the a/c's.
Now, I'm worried about fires.
Don't need no fires, thanks.
But, air conditioners are a big pull on the juice and this house is old and in my opinion which is mostly uninformed yet highly saftey conscious, this wiring is questionable, at best. There aren't very many plugs in any of the rooms and what there is are either old or big multi-plug affairs.
Extension cords are golden around here....
Adapter plugs, too, since most shit has three prongs and most of these sockets are two hole. Not to mention the fire we already had.
Not electrical, but still... The air feels good but it's got me wondering. Question... which is better? To leave them on all the time or turn 'em off when we're not gonna be in that room for a while? I'm talking in terms of being safe, not starting a fire... that kinda thing.
Cost isn't a consideration as the electric is included as part of Eric's pay package.
Just, in an older house with what can be assumed to be "older" wiring, which is the safest route?
And, is there anything I can do to find potential problems before they present themselves, like, touching all the plugs/cords/whatever to make sure they're not hot every day? ~~~~coupla minutes later~~~~ Alrighty then... gonna go get a shower and go to bed.
Let me know about this electrical stuff, okay?
Thanks... Peace, y'all...

Gotta love the old farmhouses. I have an a/c I'm afraid to install because of the sketchy wiring here too. The best thing I did was install ceiling fans in the bedroom and living room. At least they move the air on days like yesterday. Fire freaks me out too, so I'd rather just be a little uncomfortable than fret about the wiring (any more than I do)
