|  Label Your Power Cords
Hi All,
I'm sure you've all done this and maybe it's just me.
Take a label gun and label all your power cords, it's fun.
I had a problem last week with a pump making a bad noise. I wasn't home but my wife had the sence to call me. Lucky for me I knew exactly which power cord and where she needed to unplug.
Now you might say yes, but all she had to do was follow the cord from the pump and unplug it. You haven't seen my mess of plugs (again maybe just me). However, by unplugging the pump I also needed her to shut off the C02.
Anyways she saved my $300 pump and labeling things, which I have now done, would have made things much easier.
Hope this tip can save someone else's gear.

funny you posted this. Being a countryboy at heart. I used blue masking tape. Same idea, different material, with the same peace of mind knowing which cord is which. Plus it makes it easier to call the wife and tell her what cord to unplug if something goes wrong..... | |

LOL. I told my hubby to do that because I can't tell what cord is what plugged into my powerbar. It makes things easier when working...last thing I want is to unplug the wrong equipment. _________ 20g
