Started pulling apart the Buffalo today. Didn't get very far, but effort was made and things removed are stored in safe space under lock n key. Do not trust Bad Cuz one wee bit. Need to tarp over the carport section I put there, but would like an assist for that. No rush: Buffalo still … Continue reading Did sumpthins
As the apathy churns
Didn't blow nuthin' up yesterday, but didn't do much of anything either. Spent most of the day with a trio of rather clingy kittehs: kittehs begging the living thermostat to bring back summer. As if such were in my ability, sigh. Temps started in the basement and barely climbed to the first floor before retreating … Continue reading As the apathy churns

Tha's my goal at least.

Did some on those peices yesterday, but ran into a snag called "apathy". Just didn't much feel like playing with soldering irons and such; figured I … Continue reading And,,, It’s freeday
Funny how that works
I won't be quoting the email. but I've recieved one recently that "BLAM!" opened up a rush of 'this is why I keep at this'. 2008: the year my world flip-flopped into this chapter/volume. Was just before the crash, watching the politicos show thier UNIPARTY colors in full, recently seperated from a 7 year longterm … Continue reading Funny how that works
Fiddly bits/salvage time
Work bench has seen better days LOL Relays, Contact swiches, wiring connectors, desoldering tools (one not shown, solder wick) and patience, patience, patience's's's's's,,,, And my cheaters. Getting to where I can't read any of those little numbers or layouts on those things. I have a piece of generic PCB still, big enough to make the … Continue reading Fiddly bits/salvage time
