And then theres the rest of my day. I was out in the shop and I kept smelling that hot plastic smell. You know the one, when something electrical is burning. I looked and looked, because thats not a smell you ignore in a shop full of expensive tools. Could not find the source. Finally I figured Id better kill power at the main box and start pulling machines apart. I went to shut off the overhead lights at the four switch panel next to the circuit breaker box ... and it was HOT. Killed power to the shop lighting circuit and opened the switch panel. One of the switches had gone bad, burned and turning brown and melted from something inside. Figures. Huge expensive shop, cheap shitty wall switches. Id love to find the guy who built this place and ... well, lets just say Ive been cleaning up his corner cutting bullshit for ten years. Trip to the hardware store and ALL the shop switches are now replaced with heavy duty commercial units.
