Today's stuff
Dec. 19th, 2010 05:00 pmI have the blinkie for 2011 about ready to start laying out board for. The circuit (little that it is) is confirmed working, I'm pretty much done with the software, I have a few patterns in it. I'm currently running a runtime test; since this is a new CPU and a new battery, I want to make sure that the runtime is reasonable before laying out the board, and certainly before paying to have some made.
The blue car seems to have gotten a broken headlamp lens somewhere, and since they're both rather yellow and tired looking, and it's only a little more to get both than to get one, I ordered up a new set on eBay. $80, and installation is about 5 minutes for each. I was going to try to polish them up anyway as the yellowing lenses have been reducing output, so I suppose this is the lazy man's way out.
The 15" telescope goes back in the van this afternoon, and tomorrow around lunchtime I drive to Toledo to deliver it to the buyer. In the spring I *might* decide to pick up a new scope, much more modest and portable, and a modest 3 or 4 eyepiece set, and limit myself to the moon and planets. But only if the mood takes me, and at this point it doesn't feel like it will.
