Also, damnit Rodney. :stick:

But really, thanks for owning up to that. That's a hard way to learn that lesson, but I think in the end, we're better off having learned it.

#1 - Ex presidents should stay out of the bus.
#2 - You could wax the bus as well. :twisted:

Maybe that switch should have been labeled "Check Engine Light". There's no way Rodney could turn that off. :mrgreen:

Sorry about the hassle, guys, and thanks for your perseverance. It sucks to find weaknesses in the setup the hardest possible way, but that seems like the way it tends to go.

Did someone just turn the switch off by accident, or did the aux power stop working.


OK, this is where I have to step up and admit I did something really stupid, like turn off the switch that was labeled "aux" power. My head must have been somewhere else. It was towards the end of the day and I heard the outside speakers humming. I thought, time to kill the speakers. I flipped both PA speakers and without thinking I flipped the power switch thinking it was for the speakers.

I want to offer my humble apologies for my bone head move and not speaking up earlier, but I was horrified at what I created and was embarrassed. I also want to apologize for creating a lot of unnecessary work for folks like Zach and Carlton. I owe you a few beers. The upside to this is we're looking into backups and purchased a new battery for the laptop. May I also suggest relabeling the switch to primary power.

Let the flogging begin and I'll pay my penitence by washing the bus....


so, it would seem you did not learn enough from being prez for 2 years... maybe another 2 year term will help you learn NOT to flip the switch.

I think staying out of the bus is the better option....
