The mathematical value of Pi is 3.14............. and many decimal places. Which is, the ratio of the diameter of a circle to its circumference. So today's date of 3-14 is known as Pi day.
Now that our science lesson is over so is our electrical problem. What we needed was some water in our batteries. Well it was not quite that simple but it didn't cost us $300 dollars for a new converter. The mobile tech was very good and checked out our system. It seems that when I tried to replace the fuses in the converter I didn't unplug the converter first so when one fuse was inserted the converter would start up and try to push 45 amps through that 30 amp fuse, pop goes the weasel. If I had unplugged before inserting the fuse and then added the second fuse the converter would then have had 60 amps of fuse to push its 45 amp charge and all would have been well. While the tech was here he ask to check our batteries as that might have caused our problem in the first place instead of the converter. All cells of both batteries were low so we topped them all and put the system back together. Our cost was his service charge.
Now after all that this morning, I have ask Jo to take me out to dinner tonight to see if we can find a good BBQ joint. Ill post some pictures of that big ol' slab of ribs tomorrow.
