"Not a hand out, but a hand up"

The meter man arrived last night and our crew flipped the main breaker on today.  No more extension cords from next door - yeah! But wait... Why do those arc fault breakers just keep popping?  Noggins together, manuals out, testers out, noggins together, endless discussions (do I dare say boring?) over break and lunch but finally most of the problems are resolved.  Not exactly what the guys had in mind but at least they figured it out so perhaps we can hear them speak of other things tomorrow.

P2 - Where's Tom Sawyer?

P3 - Is Ron cut off at the knees or just in a rut? Actually he and Jane are in the process of planting the first of 5 trees.  They get huge praise for doing this in the afternoon when the temp was in the 90's. No wonder the "electricians" kept saying they still had problems.

"Not a hand out, but a hand up" is the "cheerleader" call we Care-A-Vanners say together each morning to start the work day.  Since none of us have very good memories, we all learned/relearned that this quote actually originated with President Johnson in 1970 and his War on Poverty. Okay, be honest Judi & Karol, do you remember it from VISTA?
