Anybody else getting some serious lightning and thunder today? We just had a lighting strike in the back yard that took out my sprinkler system controller (which I JUST replaced a few months ago); I guess it hit the wires running underground to the valves... argh. :crying:
Near-casualty #2... my freezer got stuck in a defrost cycle, possibly related somehow.. opened the freezer and stuff was melting in there, and the heater element was glowing merrily. Water on the floor. Must've been sitting there defrosting for an hour... unplugged it, popped the panel to look for anything fried, plugged it back in, and the timer started running and took it out of defrost. Hopefully it'll cool down now...
