Sunday night.. at the airport (again), Had a really great and slow weekend. Good time with family and friends.. Some stolen time out in the lab. I’m taking the slow and steady route to finish this latest big project.. Made some progress forward and backwards today..\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 I was trying to track down some goofy behavior of the synchronizer logic.. and found the tiniest of short circuits.. A short circuit is an unintentional connection to something you’re not supposed to be touching..
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

Here’s the culrit.. a tiny bride of extra solder.. very tiny !
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

To give you a sense of how tiny.. this is a portion of mf the tip of my little finger as a size reference.. Anyway.. I cleared this short circuit.. and kept on testing..<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Everything was looking great until about 5 minutes before I had to run off for this trip.. I started up the high voltage .. .. 20 volts.. loking good, 40 folts.. still good.. 60 volts.. bang.. something popped.. .. @#Y@&#&* !.. I don’t know what it was.. I didn’t have time to locok.. must e another short ircuit soemwhere..<\/p>\n

Talk about short circuit.. I managed to find a short \u00a0 circuit \u00a0\u00a0 to the middle of the last century. Gabe is doing a geneology project for school. He was lookign for pictures of his grandparents and great grandparents. I remembered I had this old box from Dave, my dad’s dad.. We opened it up. It was all his old Masonic stuff. I don’t think I;ve ever really looked at it. I knwo it was very important to him.. Dave died in 1968.. but I felt like I was in the room with him again.<\/p>\n

Here he is in thhondourous where he lived in the 1930’s.. with a gun !<\/p>\n

Diane also found some lace from her grandmother Pierene.. a wonderful lady Beautiful\u00a0 into her 90’s ..<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

We also have these old brushes from my side of the family \"\"<\/p>\n

It was so cool finnding that stuff..<\/p>\n

I wonder if any of my great grandkids will find relics of this blog one day..<\/p>\n

If so.. ‘hi’\u00a0\u00a0 ..\u00a0 Nice finding you here \ud83d\ude42\u00a0\u00a0 Good luck in your homework !<\/p>\n

OK.. the plane is booarding.. gotta dash..<\/p>\n

nite all, nite sam<\/p>\n
