Seeing the Discovery was pretty impressive too. I always knew the space shuttles were big but, that thing just seemed absolutely massive in person!

Really? I thought they were small. We were there for a landing and our tour bus happened to pass it when it was being towed back to the hanger. I was amazed at how small it seemed.

Thanks all. Appreciate the comments and advice. Unfortunately I had already started stripping parts from the board. I wish now that I hadn't so I could have tried a few more things. I have the TH Probe. Haven't used it yet. Probably would have been a good one to use on. Lesson learned. Thanks again.

That feeling of turning something on and it being DOA.    Pedal PCB VCR. Everything went pretty smooth during the build. Pads seemed a little fragile and small. Voltages seem to check out. A real head scratcher. Being new to this my ability to trouble shoot is poor at best. Chin up, on to the next one.

Nice job!

I didn't realize they were charging money for it and then thought..."oh wait...it's Reverb..."

Hoping to get to it but being able to commandeer 2.5 hours is a tall order lately.

Same thing I thought. I'll get around to it at some point.

Nice job, Gordy!

Band name? Armpit Lymph

This is a great question. Glad you asked it. I've often wondered this myself.

That is a beauty, I am so impressed by your faceplates. It is distinctly Madbean and that is not an easy feat.

Completely agree. Wish he'd let us in on his secret.

Stevie T would give his Djent approval.

My Father has been extremely successful in everything he gets involved in. Construction, Oil & Gas, Car Dealerships, etc. He always told me that if I ever wanted to get ahead I needed to work for myself and find something that made me money while I slept. I on the other hand saw how hard he worked and decided fairly early that I like to have fun. So, I never really had to worry about being an imposter as I never took control of anything that may have been over my head. I chose to do the opposite of everything he did (rebellion?). I'm the oldest of 3 boys so I always got the brunt end anyway so it was easier for me to give up and quit if things got to tough. At around 35 I finally grew up. After a costly divorce and a failed business I went back to school and got a degree in accounting and business admin. First let me say, my father never gave us anything. If we wanted something we had to work for it. That's not to say we couldn't count on him is we were ever in a bind. We also knew that if we ever did get in a bind, a long sermon would precede any help, if any. I've never taken a job for the money. It had to be something I enjoyed or I didn't do it. Because of this I've never made a great salary, good yes, great, no. My regret I guess will be that I left a lot on the table. I could have done much better for myself than I have. However, once you get past a certain age you lean more towards stability than risk. I also listened to too many people telling me some ideas would never work. I listened to them to much when I was younger. I wish I would have stuck my neck out and tried a few things. It would have been much easier to recover from when I was younger. I admire people who tackle things that might be a little out of their comfort zone. It's really the only way to grow.

Buddy I work with got his 2nd shot Friday. Got sick Sunday. Made it to work Monday but camped out in his hotel room. Fever, losing fluids through both ends. Not pretty. Was better Tuesday. Fully recovered Wednesday.
