02:10 AM rue_mohr: hmm, what was I doing before the internet
02:23 AM rue_mohr: when there was absolutly nobody at all to talk to ever
02:23 AM rue_mohr: maybe I just sat on the floor, watching tv and listening to the radio while building robots
02:23 AM rue_mohr: hmm
02:23 AM rue_mohr: I remember working hard on making a sentient program for the apple IIe
02:23 AM rue_mohr: I was pretty lost tho
02:23 AM rue_mohr: needed someone to talk to
02:23 AM rue_mohr: but, being a person who couldn't smalltalk myself, I had no way to be able to code it
03:50 PM rue_mohr: ugh, the shop does NOT like the state of the control arms and doesn't want to give the truck back
03:51 PM rue_mohr: they said if I take it they require me to sign a weiver, which is fine with me
04:00 PM Tom_L: i changed my own then had an alignment done
04:01 PM Tom_L: you can get close with a tape measure
04:01 PM Tom_L: chalk line on the center of each tire
04:01 PM Tom_L: measure front and back to be the same
04:14 PM rue_shop2: you had to do your control arms too?
04:15 PM rue_shop2: rusted thru?
04:19 PM Tom_L: i don't remember now
04:20 PM Tom_L: i did something to the front end
04:20 PM Tom_L: they weren't rusted
04:20 PM Tom_L: maybe worn
04:23 PM rue_shop2: hmm 1140mm is probably close enough to 1137 for a bandsaw...
04:23 PM rue_shop2: $18...
04:25 PM rue_shop2: oh their $12 locally
04:30 PM rue_shop2: this thing isn't adjustable
05:01 PM polprog: ok, i have the speaker
05:02 PM polprog: remind me again what are the LPF values?
05:12 PM rue_shop2: 2.7k and .02uF
05:12 PM rue_shop2: biab
05:16 PM polprog: tyvm
05:16 PM polprog: im going to sleep now but ill go on tomorrow
05:16 PM polprog: i figured out how to route TX and RX from the CB radio
05:16 PM polprog: RX to the RX chain
05:17 PM polprog: TX before the power amplifier
05:17 PM polprog: it will work as an IF generator for the other experiments
05:17 PM polprog: 27MHz is enough to mix up and down with some UHF sources
08:48 PM rue_mohr: I'm back!
08:49 PM rue_mohr: its amazing
08:58 PM rue_mohr: ma visits my house about 3 times a week
08:58 PM rue_mohr: but never while I'm home
08:58 PM rue_mohr: if I tell her I have vaccation days, she doesn't come by
08:59 PM rue_mohr: so I had this week on vacation, and I didn't tell her
08:59 PM rue_mohr: and she managed to come by BOTH times I left for an hour or two
09:01 PM rue_mohr: well I wanted to do a number of things today and this truck thing screwed me up good
