He beat me for 1-hour of labor but I don't really care and didn't argue at all. (Travel Time To Get The Breaker)

I've changed plenty of breakers in my day but this one was Monsterous. 150 AMP and almost rusted in. Better to pay a pro. Getting everything in the house running again is a mission. Getting to the Passwords was NOTHING but a Trick, No Treat.

So then a nice ride to Culvers for a little treat and the yellow engine light comes on about a mile from the house on the dashboard of the car. This is after they updated the computer for something engine related on this past Thursday. We're home safe, getting it towed to the dealer on Monday and getting a rental car. Something stupid cool. Like a Yugo. Why not? Lifes for Living.

Thanks for looking for me. Back to work. One Little Two Little Three........
Over time the heating and cooling of the wires can loosen their connection to the breaker causing NOTHING but problems. If the electrician didn't do so go back into the box and make sure all the connections are tight. Might save some problems down the road.
