Dotting i's...

So I found the diagrams from the time, in Pagosa, where I had to remove a three-wire plug from a dryer and replace it with a four-wire plug (the opposite of Friday's exercise), and it occurred to me that I needed to go back and make just one more connection to be certain I'd grounded everything that needed grounding. So two hours went by this morning on the road there and back, but the job got done.

Since then, I've been translating, and—surprise—the subject of the article is actually both interesting and informative.

(That's it! Stay positive!)

Big week coming up! No snoozing allowed!

Cheers...

One up on some Spanish-speaking friends...

Saw a billboard here in Texas offering to help with 'problemas hipotecarios'. My first impression was the second word shared a root with 'apothecary', but that didn't jive with the graphic on the billboard. (And anyway, why would anyone advertise a service to help people experiencing problems with drugstores?)

I asked some Spanish-speaking friends about this, but could not get an answer. Then, out of nowhere, I remembered running across a Russian word—ипотека (transliterated as 'ipoteka')—which means 'mortgage'.

Bingo! A nice 'aha' moment, but the word does not appear to be in common use, based on my limited experience.

Cheers...
