Usually my Sundays are just devoted to grading and other school work.  Today was really no different expect that my computer was disabled for about 4 hours because my sister and my brother in law and my niece were here.   It was great to see them...my brother in law was putting in my ceiling fans so on the upstairs power was disabled - we dont want any electrocution here!   So while I was visiting with my sister and my niece Rob was upstairs doing the wiring and setting up the ceiling fans for my bedroom and office. 

After a few hours and some stressful concerns (focused on trying to avoid any injuries) he got them all done and set up.  So, after 4 pm I was back in my office putting in the light blubs..the one in the bedroom is perfect.  All I need to do is to get it a bit more stable because on high speeds it tends to rock.  But we had a bit of complication in the office LOL.  I put in the light bulbs and fired it up...and POOOF...Yep...I noticed a spark and a stench of something burning and then the power went out...it tripped a circut and I noticed a burn mark in the ceiling LOL  So, while the fan works, the lighting does not.  At this point, its after midnight and I am not going to fuck with it...I know I have zero skills when it comes to electrical BUT, I work in a construction yard...I am sure I can get some of the guys out here just for some beer! LOL  

Anyway, I am out..its about midnight and I am TIRED!
