okay.. i figured i would go ahead and wire up the lights.. ummm.. i feel stupid. i can wire outlets and network lines. coax and the like.. but umm.. i'm stupid.. lol.. i am confused.
and omg these ballasts are tiny. i thought they would be bigger.. lol.. i guess if i lay them out i will understand it better. was never good with light switches .. i am way to use to white.. black.. and bare or green wires..
they even printed the distructions on the ballasts. wonder if my father is awake. hes better with this stuff than i am

Did everyone else find their energy?

doesn't sound like your having too much fun there with the outtages.. storms knocking out power or the power company trying to make a case for a rate increase?

Evening all.
Joanne hope you feel better soon.
Awwwww, Awol ... don't make me blush! I enjoy visiting with you too!
We were sort of lights out here too Eric. LOL I didn't get the girls inside until almost 9pm (no lights on inside or outside). They were too busy outside playing hide and seek, tag and several other games with my neighbor Bruce (under the street light at the end of the driveway), that I couldn't get them inside to eat. I finally managed with his assistance, got them cleaned up (they kind of looked like "PigPen" from Charlie Brown), fed some dinner and they both crashed within minutes of getting into their jammies.

Yeah it was great they passed out as it gave me a chance to try and do somethings (sorting, etc) in the bedroom, however I only got started and 10 minutes into it I was too tired to stand up so sat my butt on the couch and have been watching the Kids Choice Awards on Nickelodeon.  Sooooo stupid but I was too tired to get up to get the remote. LOL

well.. going to look at that artical. sounds like people are starting to actually listen. i think it would be awesome if north america could look completely dark for an hour with a pic from a space based imax camera. now that would be a picture i would buy..
