I didn't even see those UL unapproved 3->2's ground deletes.
I'll go with an old fridge and a dehumidifier for the basement. although that would trip out during turn on.
so maybe an extra fluorescent.

Not code, but each side only goes to one overhead florescent light fixture.

I think my primary suspected arthritis in addition to spinal issues. That diagnosis was confirmed last friday by x-ray. Also, as a corticosteroid, wouldn't it be helpful as an anti-inflammatory? Not sure about that part.

Fun reading about the car stuff some of you did recently and have coming up.

I should be able to pick up the Miata this week with its new Robbins top and rain rail. Thought about installing it myself but it is trickier than the one I did on my S a few years ago...and I am a few years older.

Yes, it's great as an anti-inflammatory, as I've used it when rheumatoid arthritis gets ugly. I just wonder why the doctors didn't give it to me for my back and went with gnarly pain killers.

In any case, I'm glad you're feeling better.

The car show scene is growing here in southern Vermont it is great to see. I have my monthly cars and coffee and we put on a late spring and fall car show at the retirement home I work at. I was reading one of my Hemings magazines and read an ad they had for a monthly cruise in that they will be putting on this season and also a car and vintage motorcycle guy bought an Inn a few towns away from me and he is planning some shows at the Inn this season. He is a writer for several publications on old motorcycles and from what I have heard is a great guy.

Thanks, Patricia. Long way to go but pain is down to a 2 from a 9 or so last Friday.

Were your back issues spinal or muscular? (Now that I think about it--and I am OBVIOUSLY not a medical professional--maybe an anti-inflammatory would be useful for muscular issues as well?) I can see why physicians would be reluctant to go with prednisone if alternatives were available, given its long list of potential side-effects and the potential kidney and liver issues of long term use, especially by seniors. I was only proscribed five day's worth, which ran out last night. No refills until I see my doc mid-week. So it's Advil for now.

And with that, I will stop hijacking this happy forum topic to complain about my health issues. Promise.
