My credo
If you don't have time to do it right will you have time to do it over?
As soon as I read you say... check your Fluke. I realized I goofed. I didn't have the leads switched to measure amps... well mA. So whatever I said about draw... is trash. I'm going to have to retest tomorrow. Stupid mistake... can't believe it even gave me a reading.

I'm gonna go stand in the corner now and think about what I've done.
Don't feel bad. I hate those testers that automatically change the range they measure, I set mine where I want it and never select the "auto" position.

In theory, theory and practice are the same. In practice, they are different.

Normally, you still have to change between volts, ohms and amps and often move a meter lead to a different hole for amps

Toonces drives a Ranger . . . . just not very well.

Is that why my meter displays " DUMBASS! " a lot?

I'll trade you a good pizza recipe for them. :icon_thumby:
Dough:
Mix in food processor, this is important.
3c regular flour
1 Tbsp sugar
2 tsp salt
1.5 tsp instant yeast

Pulse in processor 3 brief short pulses to mix dry ingredients.

add 2 Tbsp oil (any type, just not your old engine oil)
add 1.25c cold filtered water

Run processor until it balls up into one big chunk. MAX 35sec. If you go too long it will overheat the dough or beat it to death. Depending on your area/climate/altitude you may have to adjust water +/- .25c

Flour or oil your hands and a cutting board. drop dough onto board, knead exactly 3 times, no more no less. Cut in half, roll up into nice smooth balls and store in lightly oiled bowls with oiled lids. Store in fridge up to 1week, and leave out for 1-2hr to rise depending on ambient temp before making pizza. Makes 2 pizzas

Pizza:
Preheat oven to 400f
Stretch/hand pull dough into pie shape on floured surface.
Place onto oiled metal pizza dish or DARK baking sheet
Add aprx 5oz of tomato sauce, seasoned with whatever spices you like
Cover with shredded chedder cheese, preferably sharp for bite
Cover with thinly sliced jalepeno (aprx 2-3 large jalepenos)
Cover with large thin sliced salami cuts
Add fresh spinach to top if desired

Cook until light brown crust with a melty, bubbling center. Enjoy with cold beer.

That "food processor" thing must be the plastic bag that Gump reaches into and extracts pizza dough from. Ive seen him do that at our fall campouts. Good recipe. Everybody likes them.
