years ago, my sister cooked a 15 lb ham for Thanksgiving. Took it to the car then went back in the house to gather more stuff for trip to mom’s house. She came back outside within about 7 to 10 minutes. The entire ham was devoured by her Lab. Leaving the car door open was a very bad idea.
Definitely grab yourself some elephant ears! Hearing the neighborhood discuss the "collateral damage," I'm reminded of how I USED to go around and unplug half the house when a storm was approaching. And how many times I've dodged a bullet over the years after NOT doing this anymore. They're VERY lucky to get away with a contactor and a thermostat. We once had lightning strike a tree outside my parents' bedroom when I was a kid. Fortunately, the only thing destroyed was our well pump. (Somehow, it missed our roof antenna on that side of the house!!!) I even remember my father and my uncle replacing said pump, my uncle asking if the breaker was off, my father saying yes, and then a few minutes later my uncle got a nice 240v zap. I've never seen my uncle look at anyone like that before, or after. I've never seen my father run so fast - and he was a firefighter. My father **wired the house, never labeled the panel, had no idea what breaker was what, and didn't even have the cover panel installed - ever** and to this day, only about half the panel is labeled. (It's on my to-do list, I swear!) Don't worry, I installed the panel cover when I was in 7th or 8th grade, when I found it on a distant shelf in the basement.
Lightning strikes can produce EMP fields strong enough to ruin electronics nearby. But in small distance compared to the ones produce from an atomic blast.
Our Bandit loves to snag bread too and anything else he can find 😅 He especially loves biscuits home made or canned. Sounds like you had some serious lightning. According to my neighbor we had a funnel cloud from those storms Saturday. I measured a 56 mph gust so that explains that. Kinda got by easy with a strike that close. Be safe! Glad to know I’m not the only one that loses tools lol
God has really blessed you for your knowledge i am so glad you don’t rip the old people off you are so nice to all your customers keep up the good work give your poor dog some more bread lol you got to love them they are always there for you…. God bless
Bro brother, let me tell you. My dog once consumed dough that we had set out to rise. His belly got drum tight, farts smelled like bread, and hours later he made bread sticks. He was definitely feeling it lol. Great content as always man!
We had a beagle that got into much mischief as well. The worst time (for him) was when he ate a box of Dunkin' Donuts Munchkins and just laid around and moaned. Vet x-ray showed all gas. Great Vid. Gotta love our dogs!
We lost our 4th Doberman Pinscher gal at the end of May. She was just a couple of weeks shy of hitting 13 years of age. Not that I was looking for this, but we now have a 1 year old pure-bred Dobergal in the family. No.5 has entered our lives and I can't wait for the puppy thing to be over with. When she's not in her crate, you have to keep an eye on anything and everything that can be chewed or eaten. With that said, the house is no longer quiet, and we are whole again!💕💕💕💕💕💕
I bought two big chocolate bars from the local high school sports supporters, laid them on the kitchen island, and that evening couldn't find them. I thought maybe someone walked in who I didn't hear, but the crime was solved the next evening after Annie, my big Bloodhound, made a big number two. She had eaten both bars, wrapper and all, which proves the old adage "all that glitters is not gold."
that's funny about your dog lol it reminds me of my sister's dog her dog actually opened the microwave somehow when he was a puppy he was a golden retriever but he was big enough that he was able to reach and opened the microwave door and ate a whole pan of chocolate brownies surprisingly he was fine and lived to be around 13 or 14 I think or so. Speaking of replacing an ac unit my brother's went out last week during our heat wave luckily he had a mini split also so he was able to keep his house around 74 but he said yesterday that it was going to cost him around 13,000 bucks to replace that's including the outdoor unit and furnace.
You can take your resistance reading, go online and type in ohm calculator. Type in the resistance and voltage and it will tell you what the Amp Draw will be. 96 ohms at 24 volts is 0.25 amps on a 3 Amp circuit. Might save you a contactor or two👍
Lighting damage is no joke that’s why I started using UPS uninterrupted power supplies they have saved my systems so many times plus they provide clean power to devices I wish acs had something to protect them like we can computers[I even seen trees on the outdoor units before too lighting no joke
Let me ask you a question I live in this County in Florida we don't have real good electricity we have a lot of brownouts electricity jumps up and down I'm retired AC Tech and I've been having a lot of problems with these brand new Wi-Fi thermostats going and burning out I just want to know if that is a common problem especially here in Florida since we have so much lightning we get the power work shuts on and off
Curtis, I assume this was running at the time of the lightening strike? I've read to turn off unit during lightening. However, the local a/c company that maintains my 3 ton 2016 Ruud package unit (East Central Florida) says not to bother. Leave it running. I do have a question please: if there is insulation drooping down from the top of the blower side cover (so it's just the metal top not fully insulated) how can I re-insulate it? Thanks so much.
Ah yes, the plandemic. Nothing like telling customers that prices have doubled and yet their paychecks, pensions, Social Security, etc have not budged.
Had a really big puppy he ate a whole bag of Hershey's kisses very good dog he held it till we got home he shot out between my legs and was blowing out his butt a three foot stream didn't know what had happened at first but he never ever touched anything on the counter tops again 😂😂
OL Or open lead is just that. The Circuit is open not Shorted Curtis.. The blown Leg may have Shorted to Ground. Anytime a Lightning strike is Near a Coil of wire it will work like a transformer and produce a voltage and if the HUGE Current produced has some where to go that Coil will Smoke. Electrolytic Capacitors POP like Fire Crackers... In The IT /Telephony world We always emphasized customers NOT to coil up excess cables into coils and leave them loose under the Desks Etc. But out of the Way ..
That puppy is loved and it shows
Wonder if Riley. Made coffee cake sandwiches. Lol. Such. A good looking puppy. Keep your great video comeing

Had the same issue at a law firm. Lightning strike took out the capacitor, contactor, and ecm condenser fan motor
And a Honeywell 8320
A good fix Curtis, and they are nice jovial customers you have there. Look after Riley he enjoyed that treat 😉 👍 Au
Great fix curtis 👍
I've had electronics damaged that where not hooked up to AC. It can happen from the EMP from a close strike damaging processors.
Lightning strikes can produce EMP fields strong enough to ruin electronics nearby. But in small distance compared to the ones produce from an atomic blast.
Beautiful pup
Oh no! What did you get into Reily? He still looks good. That customer was really lucky not to have anything major wrong with their unit. Nice job.!
Man, Sir Walter was hungry. That seemed like some real nice folks over there. That makes up for the jerks out there. Nice Job
Yes it was

With Riley loaded up on carbs, you should have harnessed him up and had him pull the truck to the jobs. 😂Thanks for another great video!
I had one once that lighting hit nearby and it blew the capacitor. It was the original back when they lasted. I believe it was an old carrier
God has really blessed you for your knowledge i am so glad you don’t rip the old people off you are so nice to all your customers keep up the good work give your poor dog some more bread lol you got to love them they are always there for you…. God bless

LOL.
Curtis growing puppies are like growing babies and eat a lot of food.
Nice job Curtis.
We had a beagle that got into much mischief as well. The worst time (for him) was when he ate a box of Dunkin' Donuts Munchkins and just laid around and moaned. Vet x-ray showed all gas. Great Vid. Gotta love our dogs!
Totally feel the love for Riley! Mine eats bread and stuff off the counter all the time!
Beautiful fur baby 👶
Puppy doing what puppies do! 🍞🍰🍩🍩🍩
I've been ripped off by HVAC in my area. So, its really great to see a honest guy like you working. Really enjoy and appreciate you HVAC guy!
That sounded like watching an episode of Hee Haw
Hope you’re staying hydrated brother. Greetings from Biloxi
Dang Riley, that was a lot of carbs 🤣
They seem like nice people..
bet you glad it was easy one.Riley was being Riley like a dog. be bless an safe.

that poor dog when he takes a crap next😮😮
Riley needs to get a job eating all that food. 😂😂😂😂
That was a great Puppy story! One for the Books😂
Lightning and God do work in mysterious ways...👍
love the dog i got 2 dogs Ricky and Lucy...
Hello from Kodak Tennessee
hot humid try living in singapore.. 80 miles from equator.. I had extra shirts in trunk..
That pup needs protein too🐶
My dog ate my insulin pen, fortunately there wasn't much insulin left in it.
Hi bro from west Alabama
I bought two big chocolate bars from the local high school sports supporters, laid them on the kitchen island, and that evening couldn't find them.

She had eaten both bars, wrapper and all, which proves the old adage "all that glitters is not gold."
LOL brother don't go being too mad at young pup Riley, even good pups need their carb fix now and again!
that's funny about your dog lol it reminds me of my sister's dog her dog actually opened the microwave somehow when he was a puppy he was a golden retriever but he was big enough that he was able to reach and opened the microwave door and ate a whole pan of chocolate brownies surprisingly he was fine and lived to be around 13 or 14 I think or so.

That's probably about right. Hope he can make payments. Not too many folks have all that in cash!
After a Lightning Strike, the Outcome is usually Fatal for a Lot of Electronic Equipment. Dog was Lucky things he Ate didn’t cause Serious Issues. 👍🙏
That hound is going to be constipated, keep an eye out and make sure everything passes thru

Talking about a high carb diet !!!👍
I wonder , how long is your average work day ?
Lol 😂😂and 3 Donuts 🍩😂😂

Google Nests don’t like being jumped out from the system so I get that they would do that from power outages and strikes.
We get that from Reliant Energy in Houston. We turn A/C off until weather is good again.-
Kix - Blow my fuse, classic:)
Old saying, when its lighting out, turn off the AC.
Old wives tale.
That doggy needs quench his thirst after eating all that bread...
My mom cooked a full roast beef and fritz the dog jumped up and ran away with it. no we ate something else for dinner..
When he said $2900 it made me laugh. Easy 5500. Test pin #1
He training to be in law enforcement K-9

Buy some spray adhesive and stick it back up
Shocked the cap didn’t blow
👍👍😊😊
Ah yes, the plandemic. Nothing like telling customers that prices have doubled and yet their paychecks, pensions, Social Security, etc have not budged.
Dog got into your donuts, eh?
Lol😂

At first he said he saw 98 ohms. That is shorted. Then he got OL and that is open. He got it right, the component failed.
@@achdiagnostic7773 YES, It did Fail.
I think he got conflicting readings...
what about his coffee, then he's had his complete meal.
