Oh-Oh....
SWMBO just got a survey ... about "her" browsing habits around a Hewlett Packard 8656B *Gulp* I know I bought under my account - but it is just possible I looked at a couple under hers. She knows I will look at all sorts of stuff like this and we've seen "recommendations" of items based on each other's browsing (seems eBay thinks grouping browsing under the one IP address is good enough) - but this is next level exposure. As a bonus, she now knows what it looks like - so what might have been an anonymous box hiding in a corner, will now get instantly recognised.
The rest of the day is going to be interesting.

Quick, add it to the other boat anchors so it's camouflaged!
Yes yes, I give you that but you knew what I meant, you rascally dwagon. A friend once had a Kia Sportage and gave me a lift in it and noticed how the doors felt to be incredibly light. This was borne out a few weeks later when he turned up with the bottom of the driver door ripped open and he said that he found it like in the morning so someone had hit and drove off overnight. I couldn't help noticing the metal was about the same thickness of a coke cola can. I prodded other panels like the front wing and was disgusted with the way that they flexed when pressing on them.There are plenty of older cars with very thick steel metalwork and they're not very safe or reliable, plus it does a number on the car's economy. I don't know any modern car without flexing panels, to be honest.
Your cookie footprint and all those signed in MS and Google accounts still identify you so the VPN bit is entirely pointless.

Quick @ Brumby go buy more Anchors so the two you now own can be hidden among them
Finally got around to cleaning up my other auction score, another HP 3455A. This one is much cleaner and in better shape than my other one, which will now be relegated to parts mule. I really like these meters because (1) they are cheap (I got this one for less than $50!) (2) for boat anchors they aren't particularly heavy and (3) they stack with my other HP boat anchors.
I thought I had my thing under control, as evidenced by months without gear acquisition and the exhibiting of a quiet sort of contentment with the stuff I had on the bench.
Then I went to the Salem Hamfest.

*sigh*
perhaps its time to start working the steps again. on the other hand, i just finished testing the hundred dollar 6061A and its pretty much and in spec, so maybe not.
Should I feel concerned Tom Cruise is going to jump out of the box blinding me with his fake whitened smile

the latest domestic development is that a key down on 80m results in the satellite receiver randomly jumping channels.....and swmbo runs into the radio room 15 seconds later threatening violence. my attempt to shut down the station and deny all upon hearing her yell did not work. (she checks to see if the amp is warm).

My ADSL router was dropping out if I keyed down on 20m. This turned out to be that damn BNC connector in my balun I mentioned earlier. No shield continuity. Check this:
Note: I snipped the balun out here to debug the thing.

So... this is how MY morning has been going. How about YOURS?

That is my LAST custom-sleeved SATA cable.
He's talking about the balun on his 20m rig; it's effed up, meaning he's TXing all kinds of RF interference when he keys up.
