I'd sympathise - but I have mixed feelings at the moment. I blame you and Bean ....

Whoa!

Take a breath. Don't go overboard on my account.

Did something different this past night.....I actually slept a decent amount. Just woke up and here we are at page 999.

Neo....that is some NICE pile!

Oh and speaking of cats. I like both cats and dogs but generally prefer cats. Have had several of both over the years. But not here. Landlord sez no pets.

Pretty soon bd139 will chime in saying how much he hates cats.

On tap for today, more DMM calibrations. Slowly getting everyone up to snuff.

Haven't found any real issues yet except for the 8600A which is a little sloppy but OK.

Need to order parts for other stuff but have to wait until the end of the month. These current unemployment payments barely cover normal expenses and I don't want to dip into other resources.

Decided to put the Tek 465B channel 2 issue back into the repair cue. I'm going to rip out that attenuator assembly completely and tear it down to the lowest level and see if I can fix it. At this point I have nothing to lose by trying.

Mostly dogs myself but I understand that a great furry pet gives great joy, but a sadness on their passing. We have 3 Airedale terriers at present, two 12yrs, one 14months, lots of cuddles with the older guys and joy watching the young dog chase and play with others at a local dog park. Our 8yo Airedale dropped dead in front of everyone 2yrs ago - bit tough for us but he went surrounded by his 'pack'. Hope I go like that when it is my turn.

18650-did you see TiNs hack putting in a LTZ1000 in a 3245a?

Wel that was disappointing. Went to Harwell rally and bought absolutely nothing at all!

There were no bargains I could see

Hamfests are few and far between in my area. Last one I attended was very small and disappointing. But there is one I've never been to in April that looks promising. Marked it on my calendar.

This one was pretty big but just crap. Lots of trash.

Few tek bits but for crazy money

To be fair, a lot of people put in a lot of work to get there.
