Welcome to my pond - Swim, wade, or sit on the bank

TK, Chris, and Chaos they were working you all over pretty good on the NFC thread last night. I tried to stand up for you but was overwhelmed. Something about 3 stooges on their part after my 3 Wisemen comment.

Mmm... you were so "courageous", Sour but somehow, I doubt that was your best attempt at being so.

Have you tried a different extension cord? I just use the Orange outdoor cords that TSC sells. Haven't had a problem with them not working before. If you plug something directly into the outlet and not the extension cord does it work?

yes to both. My father in law says that because its farther away its harder to power and thats why we need the heavy duty ones. already have the TSC ones... Outlet works, items work when plugged into the outlet. Light goes off on end of cord when anything is plugged into in

Some people just can't handle retirement.

I'd say good luck, but I know you'll do just fine, Dan...

Thanks for the confidence boost Ravyn.

Weird. Last winter I ran a 200 ft cord up to my barn. Then I split 3 additional 50 ft cords off that. Everything worked all winter long.

Some are just born to it.

I am guessing you have a GFCI protected outlet that you are plugging the cord into, and that you have a bad submersible heater.

Just about every year one of our submersibles dies suddenly and takes out the power. We have to unplug everything, reset the GFCI, then plug back in one at a time until we find the one that trips it. Also be sure you are not near to exceeding the amp limits on the cord.

will have bill read this when he gets up. but 2 of the things we plugged in were the 2.5 gallon heated waterers and they shouldnt take much power at all...

@RavynFallen
 i have someone asking me about call egg incubation, when do you start spongeing? she is only on day 6 so we have time 

Somewhere around day 16 or 17... depends on how big the air cells are... and for how long depends on the air cells...

Thanks for the confidence boost Ravyn.

Very welcome... I know you've read about all our big mistakes and successes...

Change the cord to one without the light... I seem to remember having one of those do that to me too...
