So Much Grief


How can a common household outlet cause so much grief?  My microwave and ghetto blaster stopped working about 2 weeks ago - then came on intermittently for the last 2 weeks.  On suspects the breaker but it did not seem to be malfunctioning.  It was not the microwave because it would work on an extension cord.
My genius friend Leigh Parker came to the rescue. So when the breaker is fine and no appliances are working on the circuit you gotta really think out the problem.  It turns out, it was a simple as one of the wires was ever so slightly loose going into or out of one of the electrical plugs. A couple hours of head scratching and my good buddy Leigh Parker figured it out. What grief. Thanks Leigh.
