Postcard!

He he, the file I saved out of the Gimp was called, "beni_in_tartan.jpg"

Thanks, pal! #postcardclub

TO THE LUG!

@xmanmonk I'm setting up a tactile & light show version of it. Prepare yourself...

...and more fireworks. It must be Fireworks for Firework Sake Day.

('murca is bringing a few generations up getting used to these loud sounds. Take that for what it's worth.) Oo

"Wonderful post! Unfortunately, I don't know know."

@jonkulp I just heard about your tube radio. Be careful poking around in there. Depending on the tube type the plate voltage can be crazy high. Like 400v+.

Also, the capacitors hold charge even when the thing is off. And there are probably some large ones in there.

@jonkulp But honestly pal, solder melts at the same temp it did in the 50's. ;)

Any decent soldering rig should do.

@jonkulp They used big 'honkin' <- :P soldering 'guns'.

@lnxw48a1 Yes, this is the rig in question. I'm not sure where she got it. But, they are all over Banggood for ~$50.

A friend recommended a portable soldering iron at HOPE to replace the horrible butane thing that is in the blue bag now.

I'm reading/watching revues ATM. It looks promising!

Ok, I'll be the Guinna pig and go first.

We'll see.

@lohang @jezra then check yourself into detox.

@mnw I didn't hear it. I'm at work.

@mnw He's on the twitters! And last I heard Corenominal is now on a Mac. What's become of this world! Oo

New note to self: Stock Guinness in the basement fridge!

@kevie @beni oh, nice! I'll have a pint of the dark stuff, please.

@jezra Well, I recommend you avoid logorythmic Databases.

@gws I'm reading the second of 3 books for HAM radio licensing.

I get he concept. I've used audio taper pots which control logorythmicly.

I've just never had to think in DB's. Converting voltage and freq in in and out of the dB units.

@jezra all the deebees. (Decibels). I can do the calculations as written in the book. But, I havn't grocked it yet.

Note to self, figure out dB's. (I'm not finding it intuitive so far.)

At the Pub after a long weekend of, not relaxing. A pint of stout is deserved. #cheers
