07:21 PM Tom_L: i still have those in a box
07:21 PM rue_mohr: I was asleep during class and every time the instructor threw me a question I took a second to figure out where he was at and answered it correctly
07:21 PM rue_mohr: he hated that
07:21 PM Tom_L: a couple still unassembled

07:53 PM rue_mohr: I'm waiting for the day the audruino bootloaders get me and I accidently program the wrong thing
07:54 PM rue_mohr: for the most part I use the programmers, so that cant happen

07:58 PM Tom_L: checked the gen etc
07:59 PM Tom_L: gas in the van or your truck?
07:59 PM Tom_L: seems like alot for the s10
07:59 PM rue_mohr: 345000km
08:00 PM rue_mohr: thats for the S10
08:00 PM Tom_L: that's about what mine had when i sold it iirc
08:00 PM rue_mohr: I think the injector is worn and I have the recirc disabled
08:00 PM rue_mohr: and I think the tansmission will need work "soon"
08:01 PM Tom_L: auto or stick?
08:01 PM rue_mohr: there is a rumble thats either a shaft thing or the transmission
08:01 PM rue_mohr: auto
08:01 PM Tom_L: bad U joint?
08:01 PM rue_mohr: maybe
08:01 PM Tom_L: more likely
08:01 PM rue_mohr: I hope
08:02 PM Tom_L: i had one chewed up on mine once
08:02 PM rue_mohr: I remember you repalced it twice in a row
08:02 PM Tom_L: not too fun to get to but not too bad to replace
08:02 PM Tom_L: i did?
08:03 PM Tom_L: don't remember that
08:03 PM rue_mohr: it might be mixed up with memoeries of the frontloading washer...
08:03 PM rue_mohr: heh
08:03 PM Tom_L: yeah that would be the culprit
08:03 PM Tom_L: i fixed that 3-4 times before dumping it
08:04 PM rue_mohr: what did you replace it with?
08:04 PM Tom_L: top loader
08:04 PM rue_mohr: :)
08:04 PM Tom_L: fixed it 2x so far
08:04 PM Tom_L: but the 2nd seems to be working better
08:04 PM Tom_L: i overpacked it with waterproof grease
08:04 PM rue_mohr: my W/D might be like 40 years old now
08:05 PM Tom_L: my first set lasted a good 35 or more
08:05 PM Tom_L: nothing lasts now
08:05 PM rue_mohr: the washer has lost a contact on the timer for the normal cycle
08:05 PM rue_mohr: I do everything on the high cycle now
08:05 PM Tom_L: i replaced the ac and they wanted to do the furnace too and i told them no
08:05 PM rue_mohr: heh
08:05 PM Tom_L: remember those big relays i showed you?
08:05 PM Tom_L: old old
08:06 PM rue_mohr: no
08:06 PM Tom_L: i took a contact from one of those to fix the drier relay
08:06 PM rue_mohr: my furnace is standing pilot
08:06 PM Tom_L: http://tom-itx.no-ip.biz:81/~webpage/temp/Relay1.jpg
08:06 PM rue_mohr: its just operated by the thermal switches
08:07 PM rue_mohr: hah! oof
08:07 PM Tom_L: hehe
08:07 PM rue_mohr: that does go back
08:07 PM Tom_L: i'm not sure where i got those
08:07 PM rue_mohr: I have some elevator relays just a bit newer
08:09 PM rue_mohr: I think they were popular
08:11 PM rue_mohr: ok I ate, I need to wait a bit before bed
08:14 PM Tom_L: that's a switch
08:14 PM Tom_L: remembering to eat...
08:14 PM rue_mohr: the idea is to have a small meal before sleeping my 8 hours
08:14 PM Tom_L: good idea
08:14 PM Tom_L: sleep on the left side not the right
08:15 PM rue_mohr: oh
08:15 PM rue_mohr: hmm
08:15 PM Tom_L: the right will tend to make the stomach contents come back up
08:15 PM rue_mohr: ok, this makes sense
08:15 PM Tom_L: the stomach is shaped so the left will keep it down
08:15 PM rue_mohr: yea
08:15 PM Tom_L: don't ask how i know this
08:16 PM rue_mohr: things we pick up
08:16 PM rue_mohr: you would think I'd have realized from looking at the schematics
08:16 PM Tom_L: i start on the back to relieve the back pain then switch to the left
08:17 PM Tom_L: sleep extra warm too, that helps over being chilled
08:17 PM rue_mohr: I roll so hard I tear all the sheets off
08:17 PM rue_mohr: I dont put them on normal, I curb them half over one side and my rolling does the rest
08:17 PM rue_mohr: I should make foot clamps and hook up a generator
08:18 PM Tom_L: up around 1:30-2 usually
08:18 PM Tom_L: then 4:30
08:18 PM Tom_L: then 7ish
08:18 PM rue_mohr: that explains why we miss
08:18 PM Tom_L: i don't try to wake up at the 1:30 one
08:19 PM Tom_L: i eat at the 4:30 one which helps dozing off again
08:22 PM rue_mohr: heh
08:22 PM rue_mohr: the guy in the surveylance van says this story check out :)
08:22 PM rue_mohr: hahah
08:22 PM Tom_L: huh?
08:22 PM rue_mohr: heh
08:24 PM rue_mohr: making a box for this clock
08:25 PM rue_mohr: the pcb is a bad cut cause its a cheap chinese veroboard
08:27 PM rue_mohr: is 3mm enough to clear the pins on the bottom of the pcb?
08:28 PM Tom_L: depends how short you clip the pins :)
08:29 PM Tom_L: it would be close
08:29 PM rue_mohr: I always get it wrong
08:29 PM rue_mohr: I have some frosted plastic for exit signs
08:30 PM rue_mohr: I want to set it up so I can use that as a face
08:30 PM rue_mohr: gonna give it two ears to pin it to the wall with
08:31 PM rue_mohr: its really helping
08:31 PM rue_mohr: stress is so much lower when I can wake up and immediatly know I didn't sleep in past start of work
08:32 PM Tom_L: heh
08:45 PM rue_mohr: hmmm
08:45 PM rue_mohr: corners always peel up on these box prints
09:00 PM rue_mohr: ok did I get everything, I only want to print this once...
09:01 PM Tom_L: glue the corners down :)
09:01 PM rue_mohr: I have little feet I add to the prints to spread out the force of the pulling
09:01 PM rue_mohr: really thin and wide
09:02 PM rue_mohr: corners are a problem, they start to pull off easy
09:04 PM rue_mohr: start that print and get to work on a lid I suppose
09:32 PM rue_mohr: hmm
09:32 PM rue_mohr: should I get a machine printing the top too? have it all ready for when i wake up?
09:32 PM rue_mohr: or have a lot of scrap plastic
09:39 PM Tom_L: are you feelin lucky?
09:39 PM Tom_L: may as well wait and see the project happen
09:48 PM rue_mohr: ha I need sleep
09:48 PM rue_mohr: and antacids
09:52 PM rue_mohr: ok witht hat gnight
09:58 PM rue_mohr: ye I'm tired now
10:04 PM Tom_L: good. mission accomplished!
