USPS delivery yesterday. 3 boxes. What's inside them? Let's see....
Box 1: A “care package” thanks to mnementh. Contains various mainly power supply bits. Includes a few small transformers that are perfect for the 5 volt Fluke 8000A project. Thanks pal!
Box 2: From Mouser. Parts to rebuild the 110V supply in the Tek 465.
Box 3: Not mine. It's hers. Clothes from one of her favorite shops. As I mentioned before she has items delivered here rather than her place because of rampart package theft.
Can't wait to work on the 465 to see if it finally comes up but she's arriving this afternoon for the weekend. So it will have to wait until next week. It was a tough choice.
Glad I could help (empty out one of many drawers of junk at your place) !
Also... speaking of packages for "her"... at least you actually got something YOU wanted. Whenever I'm waiting for a package with "special goodies" in it, my wife gets something from Amazon, Monkey Ward, or Mary Kay instead... Last month FOUR DAYS IN A ROW that happened while I was waiting on a micro FPV camera from AKK Technology.
It's like the packages KNOW they're for HER, and kick my packages out of the sorting line or somesuch effing thing, I SWEAR.
As for whether you made the "right choice"... here's my secret to a successful marriage of nearly 20 years; Whenever I encounter conflict, or even, in cases like this where I can foresee conflict in the future if I make a certain choice, I ask myself: "Would I rather be right, or would I rather be happy?"
You'd be amazed at how few times "right" is the right answer, and how EASY it becomes to choose "happy" and to really BE happy.

Of course, every once in a while a man's got to be RIGHT...
and Happy be damned.
