The severe storms last night bypassed here. Not even a rumble of thunder. It's 8 AM here and I already have the A/C cranked up in anticipation of +90 F temps today.

I can't spot any mess. What are you talking about?  :-//   ;D

He doesn't have the first idea of what a decent mess looks like.

This is what my bench looked like after I tidied up...




...to make room so I could scribble out a schematic. And getting side-tracked by needing to fix my favorite probes. ;)

PRIORITIES, man!!! :-DD

I know, don't tell me, when you go to bed, you just chuck a sheet over them, arrange a couple of pillows and a duvet and climb up  :-DD :-DD

@med6753, I see we both have a TMK500 analogue meter, but when I look closer, there a couple of differences, where my zero ohms adjuster pot is black, yours is red and is also branded IBM where as mine says TMK, otherwise they are the same thing. An interesting fact about these is that while most meters are a 20,000 opv meter, these are 30,000 opv so load a circuit under test, less. :-+

"heh... let's get C wasted and just listen to him talk..." >:D

That's unforgivable sin; the apricot brandy is proper at cellar temperature.

The way C was talking, anything less than "just shy of so cold it turns to treacle" would just evaporate on his tongue.

I'll take my chances... worst case, the conversational cutlery gets a good polishing on some dragon-hide. ;)

the much greater sin I've committed: I can't stand any beer that isn't similarly cold... and I've even done it to Guinness. Well, what they'll let us yanks have and call it Guinness, anyways.
