11-16-2009 - Man Vs. Junk Part 2

Tis the season for air conditioners, lawnmowers, electric scooters and garden hose to be put away for a few months. I did exactly that variety of thing for the day's workout. Fortunately, since I'd rather be doing cardio, the outdoor work is almost done. If we could just have an unexpected warm-snap soon, the rest would be done.

I installed a heater in my workshop for those times when my supercomputer isn't running. It's surprisingly powerful, actually, heating the shop from freezing to passing the no-shirt test in about an hour. It also developed a short at some point, tripping the under-house GFCI and circuit breaker all in one shot. As labor-intensive as resetting the GFCI turned out to be, I'd prefer not to deal with that again.
