12:39 katsmeow-afk aka a SOT763-1 package
12:40 katsmeow-afk because it's a 74LVC594APW :-/
12:40 katsmeow-afk er, 74LVC594ABQ
12:41 katsmeow-afk 74LVC594APW is TSSOP16 or SOT403-1
12:42 tsmeow-afk mixes the alphabet soups with a lil garlic and humus and makes a
12:53 tsmeow-afk uses a plain 74F259 as a shift register, so she can dynamically specify which bit in the 8-bit output the incoming bits go to <halloween cackle
12:56 katsmeow-afk no, the first 1024 bits are the ram mask that places the following 1024 packets' bits properly as they are recieved!
12:57 katsmeow-afk that way, you can send 1101,0110,-etc and the output in real time is -100,t0c1,1110 out to 1024 bits wide, or whatever your preamble pattern specifies!
13:02 katsmeow-afk hooda know in 1980 that cmos would finally be faster than 74LS parts?
13:03 hooda yes i did
13:03 katsmeow-afk <cough>
13:21 katsmeow-afk woah, someone goofed: http://www.ebay.com/itm/35-Sprocket-Go-Kart-Racing-35-Chain-Rear-Split-Sprocket-Aluminum-Axle-Sprocket-/200979501992
13:21 katsmeow-afk any size large sprocket for #35 chain for $10.90
13:26 katsmeow-afk i wonder if they are cranking those out as needed on a cnc
13:28 tsmeow-afk grabs a gocart, removes the seat, installs a lawnmower there, adds a few new radio control parts, and calls it a mowe
13:28 katsmeow-afk won't work here, but may work where the ground is flat
13:35 katsmeow-afk maybe not a mistake, they have the sprockets listed separately for $11 too : http://stores.ebay.com/Go-Kart-Racing-Parts-Accessories/Drivetrain-/_i.html?_fsub=4937606014&_sid=165235834
13:36 tsmeow-afk is pondering using just one as an outline to make them in s
13:38 katsmeow-afk point tho: #35 chain is half the strength of #40 bicycle chain
13:59 katsmeow-afk and bike sprockettes are nearly free at scrap recycling center
13:59 katsmeow-afk specially in spring, when parents find out its not a great idea for kids to ride their xmas presents in the streets
14:00 katsmeow-afk quite a scam, in a way, refurb the bikes and hold for 9 months, give away from xmas and take tax deduction, parents bring them back in 3 months as scrap, barely used
14:01 katsmeow-afk guy doing it got tired of the waste tho, and legal liability of a defective bike, and quit
14:02 katsmeow-afk so now they get crushed and melted down
22:20 Tom_itx kat
22:21 katsmeow-afk Tom
22:22 katsmeow-afk Tom-kat?
22:22 Tom_itx http://tom-itx.dyndns.org:81/~webpage/kat/Bellhousing5.jpg
22:22 Tom_itx http://tom-itx.dyndns.org:81/~webpage/kat/Bellhousing6.jpg
22:23 Tom_itx Drilled for a 10-24 tap
22:23 Tom_itx not tapped
22:23 katsmeow-afk they are the same pic?
22:23 Tom_itx yes and no
22:23 Tom_itx one was zoomed but the same
22:24 katsmeow-afk they look very nice
22:24 katsmeow-afk did you try them on a starter of your own?
22:25 Tom_itx i don't have one
22:25 katsmeow-afk ah
22:27 Tom_itx i forgot where to send them
22:27 katsmeow-afk other than the lack of mounting ears, which i seem to have omitted because it's not important, it should fit your riding mower starter
22:28 Tom_itx i don't have one
22:28 katsmeow-afk me eitehr, lol
22:28 katsmeow-afk but i have the starter motors for as many ridingmowers as i will ever need!
22:29 katsmeow-afk a few look like new too, like the owners wrecked the engine before the stater was broken in good
22:38 Tom_itx the state of the union has seen to that
22:39 katsmeow-afk what? wrecked engines?
22:39 katsmeow-afk oh, lack of a riding mower? most people shouldn't have a rider
22:39 katsmeow-afk they need exercise, a chance to see the lawn better
22:43 tsmeow-afk prepares to hog more of the internet for T
22:45 katsmeow-afk Tiggr needs data like i need adrafinial, iodine, a full multivitamin, and toasty feets in bed
22:48 katsmeow-afk http://lpi.oregonstate.edu/infocenter/minerals/iodine/
22:48 katsmeow-afk http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adrafinil
22:49 katsmeow-afk http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iodine
22:49 katsmeow-afk http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Search?search=toasty+feets The page "Toasty feets" does not exist. You can ask for it to be created, but consider checking the search results below to see whether the topic is already covered.
22:51 rue_house lola killler her car
22:51 tsmeow-afk *REALLY* likes the box over the end of the bed where feets stick into it and get really wa
22:51 rue_house killed
22:51 katsmeow-afk why?
22:51 katsmeow-afk i mean, i emptied the 22 into an F250 once, but it still ran
22:51 rue_house she didn't want to maintain it , so it seems
22:51 rue_house she drove a connector rod thru the crankcase
22:52 katsmeow-afk oh shit,, that can lead to a bad drop in oil pressure
22:52 rue_house the crank looked like metal thats been thru a fire
22:52 katsmeow-afk no oil lite?
22:52 rue_house not if there is no oil to begin with
22:52 katsmeow-afk o
22:52 rue_house apparently it was burned out
22:52 tsmeow-afk has lite and guage and still checks it once a m
22:53 rue_house funny how much a 50c lamp can cost a person
22:53 rue_house I watch the oil pressure on my engine almost more than the road
22:53 katsmeow-afk yeas, 5 minutes to check is a lot cheaper than an engine
22:53 rue_house almost more than the speedometer
22:54 tsmeow-afk totally didn't see her say anything about it, cause she is still on ignore for suggesting things for me t
22:54 rue_house I got my cheap crimp-ons from chins
22:54 katsmeow-afk wierd
22:54 rue_house they are the cheap ones
22:54 katsmeow-afk well, you can still solder into them
22:54 rue_house verrry thin metal
22:54 katsmeow-afk oh
22:54 katsmeow-afk signalling only, no amps
22:54 rue_house yea
22:55 katsmeow-afk like the "40 amp SSR" with 5 amp triacs in them
22:55 katsmeow-afk "40amp non-repetative one cycle rating"
22:56 rue_house I'd say the metal necks down to about a 40 or 50A fuse element size
22:56 katsmeow-afk some things you just haveto goto the store, pick up the parts, fondle them while everyone pretends to not stare at you, till you find exactly what will work
22:57 tsmeow-afk sends rue to the dept that has the copper tube for connecting icema
23:00 katsmeow-afk there was a electrical store here that had sky-high prices on everything, once the internet happened people quit buying from them, they went bust
23:01 katsmeow-afk i'd go in and get part numbers
23:01 m_itx wonders why rue never checked the oil ei
23:01 katsmeow-afk it wasn't his vehicle
23:02 katsmeow-afk you don't pop the hood on other people's vehicles
23:02 Tom_itx i added 4 qt to one for someone once after checking it for them
23:02 rue_house I didn't know she didn't have anyone looking at it or I would have
23:02 Tom_itx they couldn't figure out why the light kept coming on
23:02 rue_house heh
23:02 rue_house anyhow, i feel bad for exactly that
23:02 katsmeow-afk umm, i don't have anyone looking at mine for me either
23:03 Tom_itx nor do i
23:03 rue_house its not a good time for her to be out a car, she's moving
23:03 katsmeow-afk no she isn't
23:03 Tom_itx good she knows someone with a truck
23:03 rue_house I take mine to the shop once in a while, make sure I'm not missing anything
23:03 rue_house having them cross thread the oil plug isn't good
23:03 Tom_itx is why nobody changes it but me
23:03 katsmeow-afk true
23:03 katsmeow-afk true
23:04 katsmeow-afk saves on the misc damage they "might cause" when they do anything else
23:04 rue_house and I got the wrong replacement, so last oil change I had to use the old plug again
23:05 Tom_itx i had to replace one of those copper rings once but that's about it
23:05 rue_house so, I thought I was getting 1000 connectors for $7, it was only 100
23:05 katsmeow-afk really,,, i'd have used a paper or rubber gasket,, i saves rubber inner tubes just for that
23:05 rue_house on the good side, I have 200 connectors now
23:05 katsmeow-afk yeas, i bught 100 dip-28, i got 59 of them
23:05 katsmeow-afk China is getting to be like the usa :-/
23:06 Tom_itx it's the only way they'll ever get paid from us
23:07 katsmeow-afk i still marvel at the fisaco when i needed the kingpins changed on the truck in Fla
23:07 katsmeow-afk TWO WEEKS, and they "had to" remove the whole front axle!
23:08 Tom_itx i replaced them on my s10 once
23:08 katsmeow-afk and it was a "factory certified" shop!
23:08 Tom_itx non certified
23:08 katsmeow-afk well, the guy i was going to buy the place down tehre from made every effort to keep me from doing anything there, which is why i left Fla
23:09 Tom_itx oh i almost forgot... sleep
23:10 katsmeow-afk i think the thing that finally drew the line in the sand there was he wouldn't let me bury a line in the sand
23:12 rue_house its too bad, less them it could have turned out nice
23:13 katsmeow-afk yes
23:20 katsmeow-afk the sky there is so blue, and the stars so bright, and so many of them
23:30 katsmeow-afk this month it has been on the market just short of 2 yrs since i left it
23:31 katsmeow-afk well, the google sat pic of it hasn't been updated since i left, you can still se my boat parts
23:31 katsmeow-afk but the street view has been changed, the mailbox is missing, the well is tarped where the pump went "missing"
23:33 katsmeow-afk http://goo.gl/maps/AJOKj
23:33 katsmeow-afk you can see the arc where i drove and dropped the boat parts off at the top of the image,, and see the truck hood sticking out the left side of the covered parking spot
23:34 katsmeow-afk i was willing to live in a 40 yr old 14ft wide 65ft long mobile home with rotted wall studs to get away from here, but the owner made the situation unbearable
23:37 rue_house not to mention the fleas
23:37 katsmeow-afk i could have fixed the flea situation
23:38 rue_house aliexpress is pretty cool, I feel much safer than with ebay
23:39 katsmeow-afk http://photos2.zillow.com/p_d/IS1b5rddhd7b6w3.jpg << you could park 3 of those on the top floor of this house, and 2 down here, one in the cellar, and still have room left over on all 3 floors
23:43 rue_house and the heat thing
23:44 katsmeow-afk i was going to fix that too, i have all the fiberglass stored here i am not going to install here
