Last night I went out to the shop to work on my cylinder head port & polish project. My tool wouldn't turn on.
?
After stupidly flipping the switch a few more times, I broke out the voltmeter. No power from the supply. Hmm . . . No power TO the supply. Power strip is . . . plugged in. Hmm . . . I installed this GFCI outlet right here a few months ago and it's never been tripped; hey why is this RESET button standing proud? Push that. . . click! Tool works! Here we go!
My Darling Wife told me this morning (of course when I was in the office) that the outlets in the bathrooms were not working. I told her about the GFCI having been tripped and reset. She tried an outlet and it worked, go figure.
She had done her hair a couple of days ago in the living room and I thought she had just wanted to do it there.
Why wouldn't you think to mention that the power outlet wasn't working? Oh well, she was busy. It's fixed now, anyway.
