Soldering on the road...

[rullywowr]

Been traveling a lot for work lately. I find myself here in Salt Lake City, UT with a brand new laptop and the power supply managed to break the tip off.  I have a bunch of important presentations tomorrow and of course the adapter is "special" and nobody has it in stock. What's a DIY guy to do?   Pop by radio shack and pick up the required equipment to fix it of course!  A bit of macgyver action, some solder, some stranded wire, and it's charging!  So happy as the laptop is vital to my trip here.

Sweet! Next you will have to build a pedal on the road! I travel a lot as well and I keep telling myself I'm going to do it. Then I realize how much of a pita it would be and crack open eagle instead!
