Woke about 7:15 which was too late to be on the radio B 4 the boat check-ins. I put on a pot of coffee while they checked-in all the boats.

We did most of our routine and we had 7 scrambled eggs for breakfast. We were tossing things around for lunch and decided on Longhorn in Suwanee. We took a nap when we got home until the linemen rang our doorbell.

They removed the transformer providing the power to our home. The power company is raising the distribution voltage to 14,000V next week. The old transformer had a fixed winding of 7200V so it had to be changed first. There were two such transformers in the neighborhood fed from the substation.

They’re putting the new transformer on the pole after removing the old one. Personally, I would not be standing under something that weighs several hundred pounds.

Almost done, it took a little over an hour to change the transformer.
