[ARC5] "I Hates Meeces Tuh Pieces!..."

[Howard Holden]

I was more into Looney Tunes and Rocky and Bullwinkle. Pixie and Dixie were after my cartoon heyday, remember my younger sisters watching them. And channel 11 was the best for the cartoons.

Yup.  They were one of the many cartoon shows on WPIX TV 11 NYC we watched as kids. Along with the 3 Stooges and Abbot and Costello.

    What cartoon character said that anyway?  Tom from Tom and Jerry?

    We have a pots lamp in the garden with an outlet box about 18 inches above grade. Usually keep the circuit off during the winter.  Last spring when I tried to turn it in the GFCI in the circuit tripped.  Ant nest in the outlet box.  Gross!

      OK.  My turn. 

      Back when I was a 15 yr old novice my antenna was a low 40M dipole.  A large blue jay liked to crap on my center insulator making a mess of it.  One day I noticed the jay sitting astride the insulator, one foot on each leg of the dipole.  I ran inside turned on my Viking II, loaded it to full suds on a dummy load, switched it over to the dipole, and then pounded down on my navy key.  I heard a single loud blood-curdling squawk and then silence.  Did the jay fly away?  I couldn't see from my window.  I ran back outside and found him hanging under the insulator, both feet still gripping the wires, with feathers orthogonal to his body. Such a satisfying sight :-)

        In my case, it was a small squirrel or chip-munk. It had gotten into the main
        cage of our mountain-top 25KW TV transmitter, had crawled directly under
        the single insulated lead from the center-tap of the HV transformer which
        was about 2" from the bottom of the cage, and had received a good jolt
        through its skull, killing it instantly.

        We experienced several intermittant shut-downs of the transmitter at odd
        times over the next several weeks, and couldn't figure out what was
        happening.

        We finally discovered the decomposing corpse which was swelling up as it
        decomposed, shorting out the lead, blowing the main breaker, the shot of HV
        would open up the corpse so that it leaked all the gas, then it would do it
        again in a few days.

        Since the cage had a 25 HP blower in it blowing all the heat, and the stink,
        out side, we never suspected it until we just happened to find it after finally
        doing a very diligent search inside the HV cage.
