I missed posting yesterday because I lost power in my RV. When I went to the circuit breaker box, I found the power cord on fire! I unplugged the cable and then doused it with the garden hose. Damage to the trailer was minimal, limited to the connector that held the power cord. But the connector, power cord, and surge protector were all burned beyond salvaging. It happened late Monday afternoon so I couldn’t get anyone to come out immediately, but I got someone there to repair it the next morning. Fortunately I have a window AC on a separate circuit so it was able to keep a small section (my recliner) cool enough for me to spend the night there (I would have gone to the park clubhouse to sleep but I wanted to stay around in case there were any other electrical problems). The rest of the trailer was above 120 degrees F (50 degrees C) because, well, Arizona. All is fixed now and my jokes can continue…
The distraction will lead to destruction…
