Or revenge and they’re hoping you’re going to stand on them
I think I've ascended to another level of TEA. I'm now finding random op-amps right outside my door. I'm taking it to be manna from the electronics gods.
Or revenge and they’re hoping you’re going to stand on themThe legs were already neatly folded flat to protect my delicate feet. The gods are considerate.

I really need to get out of the fucking house.
my sunday tea time was just stolen.
damn asta was scratchin' at the back door. took her out and spotted 2 bagworm cocoons on the 6 ft tall green giant arborvitaes in the back yard. made the mistake of showing them to swmbo. she freaked out. but it was an easy thing to fix. grab a sharp utility knife, cut the silk thread that holds them to the branch....and badda bing. problem solved.
UNTIL swmbo called barb across the street who has 12 ft tall specimens of the same tree. no problem she says...…"you might have one or two in your trees.........i'll send the freq over to take care of them too".
what?
its 95 degrees out with 100% humidity. the sun ate a hole in the back of my bald 63 year old head for an hour while teetering on a wobbly old wooden step ladder and picking these ugly bastards off 18 trees! finished to the rumbling of thunder on the horizon.
guess its my good deed for the week.
if you let these things stay, hundreds of little worms hatch out of each coccon in spring and strip the trees bare.
sure hope i did not miss any.
somebody owes me some bacon.

OFF TOPIC but given the prominence and history of the Titanic I thought this short video of the worlds largest scale model of her was interesting enough to share.
The model (built in Granada, Spain) includes the Titanic and Southampton dock. It's the world's largest, the ship is 12 meters long, 4.5 meters wide and 3 meters high. Weighs 600 kilos, it's built to scale 1:30 and recreated in 3D the different areas of the ship.

somebody owes me some bacon.If the missus-es don't get together and make you BLTs (multiple) with pitchers of iced tea and lemonade as you've so clearly EARNED, PM me with a snail addy. I'll make double-damned sure the postman brings you some of my pre-made bacon so you can lick that while you hole up at the bench and lick your wounds.

What's the best kind of bacon? The bacon you HAVE when you NEED it!
* Who am I kidding... is there EVER a time when a man doesn't absoultely NEED bacon?!?

nope.....fried bagworms are not on my menu.
and believe it or not. barb across the street said to save the bagworms so she can show her "tree guy".
if she has a "tree guy" what is my sweaty ass doing up on the ladder?
is it me, or is something wrong here?

yea.....guess they do all that stuff.
but they do smell good.
and it is unlikely they will leave a transmission in the bathtub. (now who did that?)
we should count ourselves lucky.

When I was a senior in high school, a friend of mine had my mother convinced that we had used the dishwasher (which she knew had a leak, and which had not been used in years) to clean the innards of the TH-400 transmission from my '69 Catalina. (In fact, we'd cleaned them in the sink and simply rested them on the dishwasher to dry - it was one of the old roll-around ones that had a retractable hose that clipped onto the faucet; we'd pulled the dishwasher out into the middle of the kitchen when we ran out of space on the table.)
She got home from work to find us in the kitchen with freshly washed automatic transmission parts spread out on paper towels covering every flat surface in sight. She asked why the dishwasher was out, and Phil immediately said "we used it to wash these parts!!", and of course she believed him.
I'm not sure if I ever really convinced her that we had in fact done them by hand in the sink...

We don’t get them but we get processionary moths here. Being the sick bastard I am, when they’re all marching in convoy as catapillers, I nudge the front one around to join the back one and they go around in circles until they die.
Proving true TEA is not suitable for wimps i just spent 2 hours getting a 50 pound linear supply into my server rack.
OW, my hip!..... OW, my back! (temporarily) walks with a limp now
Whenever my lady visits I try to explain to her what I've been doing in ref to TEA. She looks at me and says she'll never understand what all this stuff is and even after you explain it I still won't understand. Then she says "I'm glad you enjoy playing with this stuff because then I know you're not out playing with other women."
Yep....she's a keeper!Hmm that doesn't quiet compute, but leave her in that ignorent bliss. There are a growing number of women in electronics these days and we have some among our forum members, some of whom are TEA members [emoji6]
When you know where she's been in her life and where she is today it makes perfect sense. I'm not going to go into details.....you'll just have to trust me.
I welcome women into our profession. The more the merrier including TEA.

Girls into 'tronics are a special bunch and really somewhat rare......well over here anyways.

We have a few female techs at work. But their numbers seem to have decreased over the years.
And then we have this.....tech named "Grace" suddenly declared that her/his name is now "Gray". Is taking male hormones and will now use the Men's restroom with management's blessing. We were like and there isn't a damn thing we can do about it.
