Things are cliclikng in a way that can only be attributed to The Law of Attraction.

I went into the attic. Found a transformer hanging by the wires, that was extremely hot.
I cut it off and threw it away. It happens that's the transformer for the doorbell.

La Bruja calls the alarm company, because the camera in the doorbell is not working.
When the serviceman comes to the house, I'm not in.
He says the doorbell has no juice. Goes all around the house looking for a low volt connection. After 2 hrs looking, goes to the attic, and finds the connection, but no transformer.
"Someone cut the transformer in the attic." "Do you have it?."
La bruja calls me to grill me for cutting the dam transformer.
I denied everything, of course. However, I used a white lie and told her I was close to Home Depot. (I was good 20mins away at Hooker's speed.) If she wanted, I could buy
one an take it home in 5 minutes.
"Tell the guy to wait 10 mins." "I'll be there in no time."
I left with a 3/4 tank. Arrived with fumes. And the guy was fuming too. It took 18 mins the whole stunt. Got door bell. Will ring.

The timer in the pool went caput. I go to Home depot, my check buster, and buy a timer.
When I get home I open the box and see alot more wires than I thought.
Ah, it can't be rocket science, electricians do it every minute. I was ready to change it, and it starts raining.

Next day I'm all gon-ho to change my timer and the pool pump is doing weird noises.
I call for service and the pump is busted.
Then I take the opportunity to ask my serviceman if he can change the timer. No charger of course. He's already there and making money in the new pump.
He agrees. I come timer in hand, and it's a 110v timer. System is 220v, he says.
Back to Home Depot and exchange timers.

La Bruja asks if he can change the timer so I don't electrocute myself.
"No way. " "I got this." "He will charge and arm and a leg and I know what I'm doing" I said with an abundance of confidence.

Guys leave, I go to the backyard, vape a couple of new flavors, come back in the house and tell her: "All done." "I told you I know what I'm doing." "We saved a bundle."

Coincidence?. No. Law of Attraction, yes.
