[AT] OOOPS - Do as I say not as I do

George:

You have been lucky. Some day you will come home to find out your compressor
motor has been running for hours, possibly days, if it is still in one
piece.

What!!!  Turn the compressor off???  You've got to be kidding, Dean.  I 
leave my system on 24/7/358, and have for many years.  I do switch it off 
when we go to Portland for the week.  Having air instantly available at any 
of the 8 outlets is just too handy to mess with turning it off anywhere.

For Portland week only I also turn the power off to the water system.  Do 
you turn your water off when you aren't using it also?
