    are you in austin? send me a DM and I can send you an electrician rec

    Nope, San Antonio.  I've got an electrician I used for 240 volt stuff that I won't touch.  I thought maybe if you were nearby and wanted some sous vide ribeye you might want to check it, LOL.

    you have a way bigger problem then :)

    Yup.  This is a puzzler.  All the closest switches and outlets work fine and I redid the connections, so I can't figure where it's getting power from.  And everything that could be downstream works fine..  I guess I'll have to call in a professional. You do house calls?  LOL.

    How to wire a GFCI Outlet? - GFCI Wiring Circuit Diagrams

    you need to test L and N on the top 2 screws if those are not hot you have a dead circuit/wire/something that has nothing to do with GFCI wrong. You should get no reading on the load side at all, which is normal considering what you've said in this thread. 

    Yep, did that.  All 4 wires are dead.

    i would guess the outlet upstream is connected to it through a stab connector on the back of the outlet and the connector doesnt make contact anymore.  you should have a live wire if its connected properly upstream. 

    Many of the switches in the house are stab connections.  But again, every other outlet works and if this one isn't getting power, others downstream shouldn't either.  And there have to be ones downstream since all 4 screws have wires attached.

  5. I checked inside and outside for GFCIs that can be reset.  Nothing. All outdoor outlets are working.  The GFCI in question is on the living room breaker, #10 in the sub panel, it's in the on position and every switch and outlet on that circuit is working.  All other GFCI outlets on that circuit are working. Again, if it's an upstream GFCI that's faulty something downstream wouldn't work either but that's not the case.  Even if the actual GFCI plug itself went bad, I'd still get one wire in the box showing hot, wouldn't I?  All 4 wires in the box are dead, no voltage detected by my tester.  Ugh.

  6. Moved into a new house last week.  House is 30 years old, eventually going to replace all the switches and maybe the outlets.  Every outlet test fine except 1 GFCI plug in the master bathroom, the most important one cuz it powers my beloved bidet (see the lengthy bidet thread on this site if you question my manhood).

    Every other outlet, switch, device in the entire house works fine.  This GFCI outlet (actual GFCI, not a downstream outlet) is deader than Jonny Manziel's career.  It can't be reset.  I pulled off the faceplate and tested the line, load, and neutruls with a non-contact tester.  All dead.  Maybe I don't understand GFCI circuits all that well but even if the GFCI outlet went bad, the live wire coming in should still be hot, right?  In addition, since the outlet has 4 lines into it, I'm assuming it must be an upstream GFCI that's protecting other outlets down the circuit.  But every other plug and switch works fine?  I looked for hidden outlets, outside outlets, couldn't find any.  Before I bite the bullet and call an electrician, any ideas of what it could be?

     

  7. Just sold my house of 30 years yesterday.  At the last second the buyers tell my agent that they assumed my Biobidet 2000 was going to stay.  I thought that rather odd, it's a pretty personal item and I'd probably rather get a new one if I was buying the house.  But, I guess it's kind of like a fixture so I figured I'd let them have it without making a big deal of it.  Do I replace the BB 2000 with the same model or do I spend a bit more and get something next level?  Is there even a next level up from the 2000?  Seems like it has a shit-ton (no pun intended) of features, can't imagine what a more expensive one would have to make it better.

    SWA is a discount airline with non-discount fares. No business class, no premium economy, no ability to pick your seat in advance.

    I don’t understand the people who are still loyal to them.

     

    Two words: Companion Pass. Essentially every flight is half price since my wife (no pics) goes with me everywhere I fly.

  9. Aggy poster on Texags showing a surprising degree of understanding about the Jimbo situation:

    "Only two deals in the history of the world were worse than giving Jimbo $100M guaranteed:

    The Indians selling Manhattan to the Dutch for $27. They got screwed.

    The Russians selling Alaska to us for $7.2M. They got screwed."

    I would expect a shitty hotel in Tuscaloosa to be less than 300 bucks a night.

  11. I've has season tickets for over 30 years, and went to games before that as a student.  I've sat in some brutally hot games in every section of the stadium.  Around 3 years ago I sacrificed sitting on the 45 in the west upper deck for sitting on the goal line under the west side deck in the shade.  Not as great a view but I had no issue in the heat on saturday..  When I die, y'all ought to look into trying to get my seats in section 9.

  12. Got an email a few minutes ago that manufacturing and production delays are causing us not to get the brand new 2023 season ticket setbacks for this season.  LHF says it's going to give us the old setbacks and refund us the increase in price.  Anyone else get that?  I wonder if it's for everyone or just the poors like me sitting in the poor sections.

  13. Many years ago on one of the now defunct Longhorn message boards, somebody said "aggys were the greatest unintentional comedians of all time," or something to that effect.  Truer words have never been spoken.   "Ignoring the athletic record for a minute" should read "ignoring the athletic record for over 100 years."

  14. The original was one of the best shows ever.  This, not so much.  The whole "you can't go home again" theme of the original is so much better that the "fish out of water" theme of this one. The original's characters were much more interesting.  And any show that has Neil Mcdonough in it as a psycho bad guy is probably going to be awesome.  Great underrated character actor.

    I know that the boundaries for civility on this website are pretty much non-existent, but this is beyond vicious.
