I don't think so. But I'll have to measure. The element was also burned out, but that may have been because it was on all night. That's the bad thing about a downstairs laundry... you don't hear it.

I had this happen after I was inside the control panel and knocked a wire loose. Friggin' thing was still running in the morning, and I said, "WTF?"

Things like this don't happen that often with power, but I do wish the new semi-smart water meters we got recently for would send a notification when they see a constant, steady usage indicating a leak. Water conservation is a big deal here, but our local water company didn't think it was worth the extra $100 per meter to have that capability. You can see the hourly (actually I think it's finer than that) usage *after* the fact, though.

For you classic Sci-Fi fans:

Blade Runner - The Final Cut - https://www.netflix.com/us/title/70082907

Access ends Feb. 28.
Nice remastering!

EDIT: Oh I went to the doc yesterday, and I get to enjoy the boot for another three weeks. I added a memory foam insert last night which helped the comfort level out a lot. I wish I'd thought of that weeks ago.

Next week is going to be a mad scramble. We got all new Meraki switches and some new cabinets. Meraki says their switches are 19" switches..... BUT, when you add the power supply, they are more like 21.5". I have 20" of mount space. Problems are afoot. I'm supposed to start the changeout next week.

Just talked to my vendor... he thinks he can get me a couple 30 inch cabinets by Monday. Damn... cutting it close.

Brew, Robby released one today too. The 89G had one cued up for today, but last night I pushed it to Friday, lol. I scheduled it for Friday at 7:30 am MST.

Man, Robby had a good one today. He has a one of kind channel, shows a lot of tricks of the trade that you just don't see very much. Your right white, he's going grow quickly.

Recording stadium events is huge on the tube. There's a couple folks with channels where all they do is record soccer games while at the event. Seems to be a quick way to get scribers and views, and fun if your into the sport or any sports for that matter. This isn't much different.

My factory air cleaner system came in today for my Edge. I took off the K&N CAI and replaced it with the oem system. Talk about a big difference. The loud air noise is gone, smoother idle and no codes reset. it just had the big air intake tube, and no tune. That lead me to only one idea I could think of. Luckily I had a similar thing with a Mustang and CAI.

I reset the system and took it for a 100-mile drive. No more odd shifts, misfires, etc. Live readings are back to where they belong.

The K&N is 1" bigger inside the tube, so it seems to put too much air into the TB, and being a metal tube, it was louder than the oem plastic/rubber system. The readings before were really off, and once that P-019B came up, I knew basically where to look and see. It was the only thing that I could up with, The test drive this afternoon told me I had it right.

I still don't understand why people put CAIs on rigs and don't tune them for the specific intake system.

I recall when either Spectre or K&N (can't recall who was first) began producing 3.5" intakes for the 3 valves way back when. 3" intakes would cause minor lean conditions, nothing critical. However the 3.5" intake without a tune would cause a dangerously lean condition. There were quite a few who learned the hard way running those without a tune back then.
