This in effect direct wired the circuit. So what I'm getting from that is the gfi outlet is good. Tomorrow I will pull the two outside outlets and see what's up. Any other suggestions?

Now U R on to something Mike. Just make sure U flip the breaker OFF before U take the outside outlets off. I'll bet my bottom $$ U will find the outside outlets R wet & have water in them.....

Good Luck
