Hi Bill,
Sorry to hear that, I know you've thought about this.

Please do continue to "hang out" if you have the time.

karma, I've really enjoyed your contributions. If you can find your way back, we'll keep your chair warm.

Remember, DIY and this forum are like a virus. Medicines can keep it under control but you never get rid of it. Thanks for sharing your time and knowledge, see you tomorrow.

Sorry to hear that too, hope you can find your way back sometime.

Enjoy your new job

 

[hooha]

NO! Have your new boss and wife call me, I'll chat with them. We'll have things fixed up in no time.

Sorry to hear that. I really enjoyed reading your posts. Just remember tho, there are ALWAYS options...

BTW, can I have your pogostick?

Karma,

I am now with wife number two. The courts gave so much to wife number one, that I had to sell tools to eat... for awhile.

It took a long time to replace to tools... much easier to find a new wife. And this wife BUYs me tools; with HER money.

Please think about this...

Poobah, you might of thought of me as a problem, but I will miss your contributions. You know your stuff, even though you are 'wet behind the ears' about audio.

 

[Burnedfingers]

Please send wife to me because I could use a new one. This will take care of your problem and mine. You will be able to keep the back room and tools and still contribute to the forum.

Problem solved

Hey John,

I'm not going anywhere... it's karma that's "hanging up his iron".

Oh.. and I don't think your a problem. My experience with audio has generally been in creating music. Engineering is a different issue... digital music synthesis to robotics to small-signal-high-speed aquisition systems to 125 kW 60Hz 3ph sine wave amps. I always work just behind my level of competency... where the money is. When I'm "dry behind the ears"... it's time to move on.

I use to "hang" my soldering iron for moderate periods of time like a week or two. Electronics is a complex thing where thinking and designing is fundamental before soldering

He will probably come up after some time with new ideas...

 

[Spasticteapot]

Dude, can I have your soldering iron?
(seriously, though; I'm a high school student, and I'm just getting into this stuff. I can use ANYTHING. Plus, I've got neat-0 stuff for trade.)
