Electrical shrimp?

We frequently do serve shrimp when we have parties, but we didn't have shrimp on Saturday. But, while making our preparations for our picnic, Michael and I simultaneously smelled an overwhelming fishy shrimpy odor throughout the house. We had to get ready for the folks, so we just stuck some cinnamon on a tray and baked it and that got rid of the fishy smell.

But then, later in the day, we went into my office and the lights didn't work. And the power went off in the RV, too.

Well.. Michael, genius that he is, connected the fish smell and the lights not working. He googled [ "fish smell" electrical ] and got his answer. Wiring insulation burning can make this smell!

A call to our electrician this morning and Tony got it fixed. We'd had a connection go bad in a breaker. It wasn't anything that we did, and nothing we could have prevented.

These are a couple of pics of this mess. The first one is before Tony took out the bad breaker. The 2nd one is after he took it out.
