Disrupters:

 When you wake up and have things planned for the day - then things interrupt and go wrong. Carol turned on the kitchen light and it started to go off and on. We thought the florescent bulb was going so we went to Walmart and bought one but when we put it in the unit started smoking. 

After some choice words in getting the old light fixture off (had to take the cabinet apart) I was finally able to get the fixture out.  It was a very cheap fixture and was direct wired so I had to take the fixture apart to get the wires out. The electrician cross threaded the wire input to the fixture. Plus he/she used nails to hang the wire over.  Cheap shoddy work if I have ever seen any.  

Carol is now on her way to Lowes again to pick up a new LED fixture and the components I need to  in a new light. While she was getting dinner ready the microwave made a different noise and started smoking so while she is at Lowes she will pick out a new microwave. Now I wonder just what will go next in this 40 year old house.
