A lot of bad luck in one day.
 

Well yesterday was some day. I came home from a small mowing job and found smoke coming from the property. We saw the fire trucks and thought the house was on fire.

Well it wasn't the house. What happen was some guy was hauling hay on top of a flatbed truck . and one of the round bails caught fire on the truck.

So what he did was pushed it off to save the truck and the fire spread to a few tress and brush. No biggie Things happen.The fire dept wanted to see the property owner (me) Cause they wanted some information for a report. I was giving them the information for the report .
During the process it was pouring rain and lighting, and then all you see is a lighting bolt come down and Hits the power transformer to my house... GREAT


Had no power for 6 hours ..... later last night the electric company came and changed the fuse on the transformer. After that my modem blew up ... OK call the cable company. They came this morning and replaced it.

Now 2 of my routers also burnt .... Dam power surges did nothing. Then last night I found one of my pet turtles dead. IM not sure what was the cause of death but Ive had him since i was a kid. Its been a good 12 years.

Just thought id share what happened. Had to vent out some how... http://www.yourtractorforum.com/imag...s/rolleyes.gif

We cleaned up some of the mess .. hopefully we clean the rest up soon.

Wholy crap man, good thing you weren't closer to that pole when it got struck.
I have days like that when everytime you turn around something seems to be going wrong. But keep in mind it can always be a LOT worse.

I hear ya man I just got done fixing the network in the house. Now im just being cautious :icon_hide:

damn john..i thought my luck sucked. it'll be alright. you'll find $10000000000000 in a ditch somewhere.

I wish man I wish. Ill share if i do.

Well my day looks a lot better all of a sudden. Hopefully your luck turns around.

This sounds terrible. All this bad luck means you're definitely due for some good luck though, right?

I guess my luck is really rotten after all. I was taking a shower and all a sudden there was no water.

Well the well pump crapped out and this is what we found.

Either the electrician tighten the side clamp to much and crimped the wire or the lighting did this.

Kinda scary if ya ask me.

see how the wire turned black? and the breaker didnt pop either.
