Hey Ed, how'd you be?
Yes mate, it hasn't been all that flash having to give up my job. It's one of those careers of a lifetime and which I gained a lot of personal satisfaction. Unfortunately I've had this back problem which actually started when I was a soldier in the early 80's. Then of course being a firie didn't help matters, so I suppose it was inevitable even though I didn't know that.
So yes, I now have to just focus on managing the chronic pain with pain Meds. Sounds pretty bad but it's mostly under control which is the main thing.
Thanks for your tip too. Keith mentioned a similar method of determining how I might detect whether I've got a grounded wire so I'll try both yours and his suggestion and see what happens. Thanks again for your time. I'll report back after Christmas when I get time again.
