Almost posted in the January BS thread, oops. Shortest month of the year with another post record to break. Nothing like waking up about 5 minutes before my 8am class, somehow my alarm got turned to off. Good thing I'm on campus... made it by 5 after.

Afternoon everyone! Thanks for starting the new thread Tom. By the way if you want to have a waterpump party I still havent got mine done in my '94. The pump is still sitting here waiting for me to put it in. Jay mentioned over in the Jan bs thread that your pic of the Dodge loader made it over to psn. Your going to make this guy famous yet. I am hoping some day I will catch him using it and I can get a vid of it.
Jay did ya get the brakes and tv fixed yet? We just picked up a little fresh powder this morning.
Thomas glad you were'nt too late for class. Not a good way to start the week out.

Thanks for the mention in the old post Troy.
I just got the brake parts delivered at 3pm so those go in tonight. I would be suprised if we have even 1/2" of snow so far.
Probably work on the TV tonight also. At a quick glance I did not see any bad resistors but I may need to unsolder and check a few "pico" style fuses. Apparently you cannot accurately meter them while still soldered on both sides so you have to desolder one leg. Blah!

Evening Minnesota and any lurkers!
Jay, glad you got the parts finally for your sled. Good luck on that tv, when it comes to electrical work like that I am not real good. Probably why I havent tackled the idm mod yet.

Can't get the brake caliper piston to retract on one side. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!
Got the two fuses replaced on the TV circuit board. On was bad, the other I accidentally ruined because I was a dumb a$$.. The kit came with two so no harm, no foul. Next are the two IC's. I need a different solder sucker first. The cheapo one I bought does not suck. haha

Afternoon all, finally got my Minotaur software re-registered after my hard drive crash. Ordered some files for my dad and brothers pickup at the same time. I'll be burning some chips this weekend. If I make it to a G2G I'll have to bring my laptop with and show everyone that.
