To all: Who was being nasty? I missed something. :confused:

Bob: You know ... mushrooms! (Apparently some people enjoy these ... or so I've been told ... for .. um ... consumption?) Just my attempt at being funny ... I guess that one didn't work .... :(

Also to Bob: I feel bad you got no brittle stars. Trust me, there aint no shortage where they came from. You want some, you got some. Next time I'm up your way, or next time you're down my way, we will correct this. Promise. 'K? ;)

To Alan: My guess is you've got yerself a bunged timer. I'm having some trouble with some of my older timers, mostly in terms of losing some time, but hey, they've given me as long as they have they don't owe my much anymore. But it does show that they have a finite useful lifespan, sounds like yours might have had a useful lifespan somewhat "more finite" than perhaps others.

To all: I thought you absolutely have to ground your electronic ballasts (and the fixtures, reflectors, etc.). Those things tend to emit quite a lot of EM otherwise (I have not tested any of these T8 ballasts myself; I have none), but generally speaking anything electronic not properly grounded/sheilded tends to be just screaming when on. This is probably not relevant to anything in this thread (good grief, is this the MYSIS thread? WHOA TANGENT...), so I will stop talking now.

Anyone else (VDHD? Carpentersreef? Spikehs?): please get in touch me with soon if you would like some mysis. It's a great deal, if you're on the fence you're welcome to just get a bag or two, and give it a try, and see how you like it.
