My day started at 2:40AM with a high temp alarm at a site an hour away. Once I fixed this, an outage came in an hour from that site. And now I am working on that.

This is a daily post for “casual” conversation. If you want to post or talk about something non autism related this is where to do it.

All other rules are still active, be respectful to each other.
