Keef, take a fool's advice and hit the box with a clear head. You want to be watching the stars with a buzz in your tub and not laughing with Buddha while RWS cries.
If the box has a main breaker, flip it off. If it's a hot panel, keep in mind that anything copper or metal will kill you if you touch it. Last box I worked on was a hot box. I cut cardboard and covered everything but the spot I was working on, just incase. The sixty cycle shuffle is no fun. Been hit too many times.
Rose, ole Sharky's been gone for more than two months, but there's still triggers that make my heart hurt. Snow was one. He loved snow. I miss the little snow angels he'd leave in the yard.
Rodan's been gone a couple of weeks. I still hurt when I go for my two AM snack and she's not tap dancing on the perch wanting hers. Life goes on, and when we dwell on things that hurt our hearts, we take a part of our hearts away from the ones we love that are still here. Still sucks though.
