01:27 katsmeow-afk Tom, wake up, severe storms
01:30 katsmeow-afk http://www.intellicast.com/National/Radar/Summary.aspx?location=USKS0307
09:20 rue_house iamturnip, I remembered the schedule wrong! the next week there isn't class, but the week after there is!

12:55 tsmeow-afk growls at the inte
12:56 katsmeow-afk "any ole" opamp is not a cross to a LM102 , the LM102 is a very low impedance unity gain voltage follower, as low as 1 ohm output, very few common opamps do that
12:57 katsmeow-afk sadly, i think everyone quit making it
12:59 katsmeow-afk i don't wanna use my 600Mhz video opamps to replace them
13:13 katsmeow-afk hmm, a MZOI`0 sign : http://www.ebay.com/itm/330726505524
13:20 katsmeow-afk Tom, you use 74HC244ADW
13:21 katsmeow-afk ? 3000 pcs 6hrs 47min , $35 + $17s&h
13:21 katsmeow-afk http://www.ebay.com/itm/3000-PCS-ON-SEMI-MC74HC244ADW-/390414201031
13:22 katsmeow-afk for slow battery powered nearly zero current draw, $50 for 3000 of them cannot be beat
15:38 tsmeow-afk fell into a qua
15:39 katsmeow-afk the "1/2hp" pump i bought pumps 1/2 what the specs say it will do, and since i bought it, another "1/2hp" pump came down to the same price, but it has 2x as big a motor and 4x as big a pump and 2x the water pressure and 2x the delivery volume
15:40 katsmeow-afk the problem is the pump that fails to meet specs is just right for pumping the creek when it's not even flowing
15:41 katsmeow-afk the pump that *should* pump 4x as much will haveto keep cycling minute-on-minute-off when the creek is low, AND it's big and heavy and i am not likely to wanna carry if down or up the mountain as needed
15:44 katsmeow-afk so for the bigger pump i also need to build a theft-proof box down there
15:44 tsmeow-afk awaits comments, from a dist
15:45 katsmeow-afk i got maybe 1000 gallons in the pool-tank, i think it's going to hold 2000 gallons, not 3000 as claimed
15:46 katsmeow-afk still, 2000 is 20 gallons for 100 days, or 10 for 200 days (6.5months)
15:47 katsmeow-afk it's gone 4 months without raining here, but not 6 months
15:47 katsmeow-afk and if i work things right, i'll have a spare 500 gallons inside,,,,,,,,,,, course all this is not counting watering any minigarden
15:52 katsmeow-afk the look of the pool with a foot of water in it looks appealing, but it's ice cold
17:00 katsmeow-afk looking at May 2011, it rained here the 3rd, 13th, very lightly on 14th, and again on 26th, that was it for May, hence my desire to store a lot of water
17:10 katsmeow-afk in June 2011, it rained on the 11th, 16th, 17th, 21st, 24th, 26th, 28th, but from May 26 to June 11 was 14 days
17:12 katsmeow-afk sometimes it's nice to have these 30 minute snapshots of usa radar going back 10 years
20:28 katsmeow-afk ya know, i am old enough to have a 30 yr old daughter with a child, making me a grandma, i sorta fancy the idea of moving to Pasadena and driving a superstock Dodge
20:28 katsmeow-afk points to who gets the reference
22:20 zhanx evening
22:34 tsmeow-afk offers zhanx a
22:35 zhanx i need like a keg
22:35 zhanx but i am not drinking that much
22:35 katsmeow-afk hence the one cold beer, you can warm it if you like
22:35 zhanx thanks
22:35 katsmeow-afk how's Georgia?
22:36 zhanx today was really hard
22:36 zhanx i stood by my soldier all day to guard him and escort him
22:36 zhanx all the while in my line of vision was a video of pictures of us fishing and working
22:36 zhanx that he had sent to his family
22:36 tsmeow-afk looks at the floor and wants to say something so
22:37 zhanx at the breaks I had to fix his uniform
22:40 katsmeow-afk i realise you are one person, praps if you can, in the future, delegate and and have them multiply ounces of prevention among the troops, to prevent pounds of heartache
22:41 katsmeow-afk it's prolly frowned on in the military
22:41 zhanx i just want to tape it and make them watch a funeral
22:42 katsmeow-afk but for everyone to give a damn about each other, and to know each otehr gives a damn, and i don't mean in a hmmv or in a foxhole, and it's not gay to give a shit
22:42 katsmeow-afk sorry, i am not accutomed to giving butch speeches
22:43 zhanx tis ok
22:44 katsmeow-afk sometimes it's work to care
22:44 zhanx yep
22:44 katsmeow-afk it's inconvenient
22:44 katsmeow-afk it takes time
22:44 katsmeow-afk and it may save a life
23:38 katsmeow-afk i am GOING to sleep tonite, i ate 4 sleeping pills
23:45 katsmeow-afk see, rue isn't here again
