Re: Witty's Monster 210 Experiment

Can't say that I've been following your project, only been aboard a short while but man that is a SWEET MONSTER Carpet! Has it ever divided for you?
The T'storms have gotta be a PITA, power outages and all, the weather channel tells me that you folks in Mass. can't catch a break for almost a month now. Hope that the weather breaks soon so that you can relax.

i think it might be a good topic to discuss with everyone! we all have to much invested to leave it up to PSEG to keep us going all the time.

it probably was just a sound pressure wave from the strike being so close... if you'd had an emp, all your electronics would be toast i've had windows blown out in my old apt from a close strike from the pressure change.

glad to hear everything's ok!

Re: Witty's Monster 210 Experiment

Tank looks awesome Dave. I know how you feel not being able to sleep well. When i filled the 120 for the first time after replacing the front pane I kept going in the middle of the night to make sure it didnt blow out.
Stay strong dude. I like that power back up link you sent me. Thanks!
