  1. A hot wire goes to the first 3-way switch, then two traveler wires leave the first switch and go directly to the second 3-way switch. leaving the second switch is the switched hot which goes to the light fixtures. The neutral and ground does not have to pass thru the switch but it may be in the same bundle of wiring. If you touched a hot and the neutral wire together it is usually a decent sized spark and the circuit breaker/fuse should have opened. Is this wiring in romex or individual wires in conduit? The two traveler wires should be marked in some fashion especially if it is romex as the same wire colors are used.
  2. @DizRotus Speedway enlistment ceremony https://www.wthr.com/article/ims-holds-enlistment-ceremony

    Niki Lauda RIP

    RIP....heck of a driver who went through a lot in his career. Thanks for the reminder, I had forgotten about this movie have yet to see it.
  5. A few old Indy and F1 cars show up for the SVRA event at Indy.
  6. There is always a turbine car at the SVRA event at the speedway. This year the SVRA is at Indy the first week of August. I have yet to get to see the Harvey Aluminum special in person. It is at the museum but they have so many cars there they rotate them from the basement storage up to the museum and nobody is allowed in the basement. I will see if I can find out the schedule as when it will make its next appearance.
  7. Always is interesting watching the team members move the race cars around in the garage area with so many people not paying attention. The team members do their best and do a great job of exercising pateince even when they need to hurry. If you hear a horn blast behind you, heed the warning
  8. Nothing like having a couple spare engines laying around
  9. I saw that this morning. I hate hearing this. I don't think he was on his way home from the Wild Cherry strip club this time like last. He just spoke to a group of school kids about alcohol and his problems with it. I wish he could get the help he needs. At one time I was a big fan of his, when he was married to Shelly and he seemed to be having fun in life. Then a few years later I saw him in the garage interacting with some fans and he was a huge jerk. Also used to always enjoy talking with his mom Wanda during the month of May
  10. The speedway's support and recognition of our military and its veterans is always impressive. Last week end there was a large enlistment ceremony and a deployment ceremony as well.
  11. I enjoy that is just doesn't sit in the museum waiting for race day.
  12. Did Mecum on Thursday and the speedway on Friday. The SVRA event is in August this year so you have more time to heal.
  13. If it rains out Indy qualifying today then the Pole and front row is set. But the final row will qualify on Monday with 6 cars going for the final 3 positions.
  14. Yesterday was a great day at Wrigley Field. Mid 60's, partly sunny, out of the wind and some cold Goose Island. We stayed in an Airbnb 2 blocks away. Visited the Cubby Bear, Casey Morans, Old Crow Smokehouse, John Barleycorn...dinner at Hutch and breakfast at Kanela Breakfast Club. I am not a big Cubs fan but I love Wrigley. Oh yea...Cubs Win, Cubs win.

  16. We have this year covered for bucket list activities. Lets do the Masters next year.
