What Were They Thinking?

This is at a car lot in Lexington. If I had to guess I would have to say there were 5 to 7 THOUSAND Bras hanging all around the car lot and the sales tents. Crazy Huh ?

This afternoon our road was being ground for new blacktop. Gavin and I watched as it went by the house and during a break they asked if Gavin wanted his picture on top of the grinding machine.

Please vote on baby names for Kenlyn.

Kenlyn called yesterday asking us to choose a favorite baby name out of these three:

1. Dylan
2. Zander
3. Conner

Stephanie chose Dylan and I chose Zander.

Per Kenlyn's request please post YOUR favorite name of the three in my comments section. I'll pass the info on to Kenlyn. Her son is due in late August or early September. I'll be sure to post the new baby's name as soon as I know what the final name choice is.

Ohm's Law Wheel

Ohm’s Law Wheel. Power in electrical systems (P) is measured in watts. Resistive appliances such as a hair dryer or lightbulb are rated in watts. Power is computed as shown in the Ohm’s law wheel, in Figure 8.2.7. The relationships among power, current, voltage, and resistance are important to fire investigators because of the need to find out how many amperes were drawn in a specific case. See Figure 8.2.7 for a summary of these relationships. If, for example, several appliances were found plugged into one extension cord or many appliances were plugged into several receptacles on the same circuit, the investigator could calculate the current draw to find whether the ampacity of the conductor was exceeded.
