Board index » FINAL COUNT: who is ACTUALLY bringing a 16awg extension cord to Euclid?| TwinPeaks_59 Inner Circle ★★★★★     Posts: 1388 Reputation: +12 ■■ Joined: Jul 05, 2006 From: somewhere in the PNW... maybe | ClassOf04_Truther saw the padlock on Aug 17 - I was there Jul 12 and it was a wire tie. (sis says "wire ties are code for 'electrician will be back tomorrow' which means someone filed the SAME work order Elder claims he filed on Aug 6 which means the box was ALREADY tagged for inspection before he called it in, not BECAUSE he called it in.") ((bro is ignoring me but he needs to know that the timing gap means the socket might have been serviced TWICE this summer and neither of us knows what they found.)) Anyway the whole point is if the socket was live in July when I was standing there with a Fluke in my bag and a gamma curve chart in my sister's hands and we BOTH forgot to test it, then the real miracle is that this forum has 28 posts about extension cords and zero posts about a voltage reading before the padlock went on.  [Attached image: A photo of a utility pole in Euclid, Ohio at dusk on July 12, 2006. A gray electrical box on the pole has a twisted wire tie instead of a padlock. In the background, a silhouette of a woman holds a large piece of paper with a gamma curve chart visible. The photo is slightly grainy, taken on a digital camera in low light.] |

A florentine wrench for a wire-tie box - that's the kind of preparation this board used to have before everyone started posting receipts instead of readings.

| LyrikUebersetzer Inner Circle ★★★★★     Posts: 1016 Reputation: +13 ■■ Joined: Jun 20, 2006 From: München, Germany (exchange student @ Ohio State) | TwinPeaks_59 you posted a photo of a utility pole in Euclid with a wire tie on the box. You had a Fluke 87V in your bag. You stood at the pole. You did not test the socket. You watched your sister hold a gamma curve chart. You did not test the socket. You went home. You wrote 28 posts about extension cords. You still did not test the socket.
ClassOf04_Truther saw a padlock on Aug 17. Someone filed a work order. The socket was serviced twice this summer. Zero voltage readings from either visit. That is not a mystery - that is a box that was never live in the first place. Bitte.

| BackAgainLikeBadHair Inner Circle ★★★★★    Posts: 1192 Reputation: +8 ■ Joined: Jun 17, 2006 From: Formerly The Abyss, Now Right Here | TwinPeaks_59 I just read 114 posts of the barn sign thread and 42 posts of the Euclid cord thread and I have ONE question that nobody on this entire board will answer -
You stood at that pole JULY 12. Fluke in your bag. Sister holding the gamma chart like a baptismal certificate. Wire tie on the box. You posted the photo. You described the light. You wrote twenty-eight replies about extension cord gauge like you're the NEC code council. And you STILL will not say whether you looked at that twist tie and thought "hmm maybe I should open this" or thought "this is a sacred seal from Gabriel himself and I must not break it with my wire cutters which I also didn't bring."
Two possibilities. Either you're a man who forgot to test a socket for four months while owning a multimeter - or you're a pilgrim who believes a wire tie is a divine lock and opening it would break the spell. Both are hilarious. Pick one.

ClassOf04_Truther saw a padlock Aug 17. ElderProphet07 filed a work order that allegedly got the padlock installed. MamaBear_2006 drove forty miles with a florentine wrench and got a zero reading. So let me ask the question that nobody in forty-two posts has asked: what is the voltage rating of the padlock? Not the socket - the PADLOCK. If the box was tagged for inspection with a wire tie in July and then a city-issued padlock in August, the padlock itself has a rating stamped on the back. A Master Lock 3KAD has a different dielectric rating than a Master Lock 1D. If ElderProphet07's work order was filed after the padlock was already installed then the real measurement gap is not the socket voltage but the padlock timestamp. Bitte.  Somebody check the padlock photo. ClassOf04_Truther you posted a padlock photo in topic 410 - what is the model number on the back?
