My granpa's electrical adventures My grandpa was a skilled handyman, he could fix pretty much everything, from electronics to pieces of furniture. Nothing was ever too complicated for him. Once, the cat fountain broke down and he tried to fix it himself like he always did. He was tinkering with the wiring when an electric discharge from the circuit almost electrocuted him. Luckily he survived without long-lasting damage but he kept away from electronics for a long time. Another time, while he was fishing in a lake, the sky turned cloudy and stormy. Suddenly, a thunderbolt struck not far from where he was knocking him down and deafening him. Again, he recovered pretty well from that accident.
