Though it is easy to stereotype people with the middle name Bob, watch out for the middle name Ray. I defended a bar that was alleged to have served too much alcohol to Billy Ray Hamilton in Fresno, CA way back when. Here's a little about him: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Billy_Ray_Hamilton He wasn't a very nice guy, nor was his fellow gang member Clarence Ray Allen. Thankfully, neither of them are among us now. Both were far more dangerous than the frame of an rPod being directly wired to the hot wires of a 50A pedestal.

Not stereotyping or at least it wasn't intentional. As a point of example, we live in a rural culdesac of 9 homes. The electric gate we have "evolved" from a home-built gate that was cobbled together from an old tractor transmission, some spit and bailing wire back around 1975. The electrical wiring was, um, creative.
About 15 or 20 years later, they replaced the homebuilt gate with a commercial one, but they never did re-do the wiring. Instead, they ran a trench about 30 feet to the new gate location. About another 20 years go by, and one of the houses is doing a remodel. One of the contractors towing a trailer, cuts the corner short, and rips one of the gates, motor, and post completely out of the ground. So they replaced the gate motors, but hey still didn't fix the original Rube Goldberg electrical box down where the original gate was some 45 years ago. We got an electrician to look at it, and he gave us a quote of $1000 to fix the wiring. We've decided to do it ourselves because the underground conduit runs right past one of the motors. All we really need to do is dig a short trench of about 2', and put a pedestal right next to the motor. I picked up the outdoor breaker panel and unistrut that we're going to use a couple months ago. Now I just need to get a round tuit.

I (mostly) quit beer about a year ago. I was just starting to get too, uh, chubby. My ideal weight is about 195 lbs, and I had gotten up to between 210 and 215. I am now down to 202, and I can see the light at the end of the tunnel. I do drink beer still, now and then. It's just more of a treat now. That and it allows me to try out some really outstanding craft brews.
