Middle son pulled a good joke on me today!!!

JD Seller · Feb 12, 2016

I pull some practical jokes on people every now and then. Well I guess I handed it down to my sons. This afternoon I was over helping do the evening feeding. I backed the TMR wagon up to the silo conveyor. While I am doing this my middle son runs into the shed where the electric power is supplied from and trips the breaker. So I turn the silo unloader on and get nothing!!!!!! This is the circuit we just FIXED!!!! I start ranting and cussing all the while walking to the shed only to find my son just about rolling laughing his butt of at me. He got me good!!! LOL

I can laugh now but right then if I could have ran him down I would have stomped him!!!!

I worked for Anhueser Busch for a couple of years. We generated the electricity for the plant with coal and NG boilers. We just got done putting in a master switch for the whole plant to switch between city and generations. Another engineer turned off the control room lights right when we pushed the button to transfer. I thought the engineer that designed it was going to pass out. You could have heard a pin drop.

My wife would always plug the vacuum into some central location and then take it into different rooms. I used to shut the power on and off to it. Doesn't work anymore but it was fun while it lasted!

Sux when we get to the point we can't catch our kids anymore. Of course, my youngest was always faster than me. Never could catch that kid.

I hung a new ceiling fan in our bedroom with a remote control, however with only 1 remote it was always in the wrong place. So one day a dug up another remote and set it to the same frequency. I left this remote next to my side of the bed. At time to go to sleep I asked my wife to get. he loghts, she got up and used the remote in the holder by the door. When she got in bed I turned the lights on. She ex claimed and got up and turned them off again. After she put one leg in bed I turned them on again, that time she saw me laughing. Didn't spend much time in the hospital lol.

Did a little one at my old job at a NH dealership. We had a storage building across the way with an overhead garage door with an opener. We kept the remote in the building JUST within range. One of my co-workers was trying to close the door with the remote in my hand.

yep ,, he got ya ,,you know the dinger hose at service stations we had yrs ago ,.. my neighbor had one across their drive so they could tell when fertilizer seed customers pulled in , they had it for awhile , about 25 yrs ago on Halloween , I took a car full of kiddos there trik or treatin ,, and as luck would have it stopped the axle rite on the durn hose without realizing it ,... sounded like a firealarm going off,!,, Carol Called Out sort a cheerfully and a little mift too , "That's Not Funny Jim " ,. I quikly pulled the car off the hose , and went in to apologize ..All Was well ..

New Year"s eve- 2000...remember those millenium concerns? Was at a neighbor"s party and went into the garage just before midnite, as the ball was descending, and pulled the main breaker. Host"s Dad was one of those prepared with stored water, gas, etc. cuz he thot systems were going down at midnite. I really enjoyed it!

What problem did you find with that circuit? If you posted a thread on it, I missed it.

Good to see your kid was thinking ahead, even if nefariously!

Heh, heh! Pulled one like that on my wife. Friend and I were doing some wiring in our house. Friend went downstairs to turn the power on. When he turned the power on I let out a scream and started rolling on the floor. Guess it was a convincing act. Been 30 some odd years. She hasn't forgiven me yet! Lol!

Glad you have your electrical service up and running again. I followed your story as I have spent most of my working career as an electrician and have pulled many conduit runs. Most have been in an industrial setting and most have been 500 mcm cable. If you dont know what you are doing one can get hurt big time doing those long pulls. Glad you got it done safely and are up and running.

That was a good joke they played on you. I can imagine the frustration you would have felt and all that work and expense only to have it fail again. NOW it is time for pay back.
