re: GFI Breaker or Outlet?
Posted by RetiredSaintsLsuFan on 7/8/26 at 5:44 am to UptownJoeBrown
Apparently the problem was a fried wire between the two light switches that were connected to the GFI outlet. When the switches were pulled out everything worked. This wire was inserted into a hole for the connection on the switch. He commented that he does not like using this type of connection being they fail a lot. The electrician changed this wire and how it was connected and everything was back working.

re: Four decades later: Lafayette ‘one step closer’ to I-49 Connector

For clarity, I49 is completed from Ft Smith to Joplin at least,going north.
I'm not sure they've even began south of Ft Smith to connect with I49 south, in Texarkana. It is complete from Texarkana thru Shreveport to Lafayette. Just not south of there
Yes, I know. I live just South of the Missouri border close to I-49. The last I read was there was some construction of a new bridge across the Arkansas River.

I will be happy when they finished I-49 from Ft. Smith to Texarkana and then to Lafayette. It would then be a breeze to drive from NW Arkansas to Lafayette. But none of this most likely will be done in my lifetime.

Finally, some brands have switched the terminals up on their outlets. Verify that the right wires are connected in the right place. Just because you connected the wires to the same terminals you took them from on the old one, that doesn’t mean they are correct. I had to call an electrician because of this on my last one
I reconnected the line in white and line in black exactly from the outlet to the new outlet.
I then tried to test and reset and nothing worked.

GFI Breaker or Outlet?
Posted by RetiredSaintsLsuFan on 7/3/26 at 12:01 pm
Yesterday I was running too much on my patio and everything went off. My living room and patio is on this breaker. Everything in the living room still works. The outside patio plus the outside lights and the dining room lights do not work. I changed out the GFI outlet and it still will not work.
Would it be the GFI breaker even though the living room outlets and lights work?

you can get almost everything you want from a good dolby atmos soundbar these days.
What would you recommend? I want to upgrade my soundbar system that does not do dolby atmos.

re: Tell me about life on the bayou
Posted by RetiredSaintsLsuFan on 6/28/26 at 11:47 am to m2pro
I was raised up on a bayou in NE Louisiana and loved it. I never noticed the mosquitoes. I would love to live on a lake or bayou again to live out the rest of my life fishing. In fact I have been looking for something in North Louisiana or South Arkansas for a perfect home with a dock/pier to fish from.

I'm curious exactly how they "reconstituted." Is this new equipment or basically giving up interior defenses and moving everything to the shoreline because Hormuz is their only play? I can't imagine air defense systems grow on trees.
They had a lot of stuff still underground that we did not hit. They are just redeploying what they have left.
Drones may be different, I suspect they are getting components delivered overland from Pakistan through various black market channels.
Iran's roads and train tracks are still open with means of getting arms from China or Russia.
re: Solar Panels - Is it worth it?
Posted by RetiredSaintsLsuFan on 6/26/26 at 5:35 am to Tiger4life306
I have a small solar system using four 365w panels and an EcoFlow Delta Pro power station. On sunny days I power most of my house (no 240v) using this. I also have an emergency power backup with this system if the grid goes down. Most standard solar systems don't have power if the grid goes down. All of this was about $3,000. I put the solar panels on my 10' x 12' shed. I could have made it larger if I wanted to. Ecoflow has systems that would power everything if you have the space for the solar panels. I chose my shed instead of my house due to having to get a permit if I put the solar panels on the roof of my house. On the bigger systems it even has a panel that will switch power over automatically if the grid goes down. I have my system going through a six circuit manual transfer switch.
re: Gas prices
Posted by RetiredSaintsLsuFan on 6/25/26 at 6:20 pm to Jbird
It is around $3.28 at a lot of stations in NW Arkansas/SW Missouri except for the Casey gas stations. While everyone was going down they jumped their gas up11 cents to $3.49.

True, as mentioned most of those ships took the new Omani route that had been established in the last couple of days which increased the amount of traffic, which evidently pissed off the IRGC.
Now that they have struck a vessel, traffic will most likely slow down as they are all forced back into the Iranian traffic scheme run by the IRGC.
What I want to know is with it being a few hours since a cargo vessel was struck by the IRGC, why are our officials completely silent on the attack? Is this not a breach of the MOU?
The Omani needs to grow some brass balls and push back against Iran. I don't understand why all of the Gulf states puts up with the bully Iran.
