Am I showing my AGE???

Rindy,(Renogamma) is on the phone with her son Arlo and some where in the conversation they started talking about electricity and how it flows, then came the example of the flow of (water) same same, streams and damns, resoviours, breakers and such, the idea of a FUSE? came into the chatter, for those of you under the age of???? we used to have in the "Breaker box" a series of, get this SCREW IN FUSES, kind of like a light bulb only different, or some that looked like shot gun shells with copper ends and a lever that you pushed or pulled depending on whether or not you were brave or STUPID.

Today we have BREAKERS that flip when something isn't right, the little red line tells you "oops", flip right and then left and by golly look at that. Well usta be you had to go look and check for the blown out fuse, which one is it? Without a flashlight, well that would be blind man's bluff! Really been there and done that... seriosly I really mean it! Just ask.... well never mind.

Now for todays lesson: Oh wait I need to go start the generator...
