Found a tube tester in a junk pile on my way home from work :clap:

Handy, indeed!
I found an RCA tester once, too, at a garage sale with a price of one dollar on it. It works. They were just getting rid of their dad's old clutter and crap after he died.

I laughed later, because they had a dollar on that and a huge box of tubes, but they had a three dollar price on his jeans.

Free sounds better.
Jimi Hendrix: When the power of love overcomes the love of power the world will know peace. 

Ghandi: Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever.

The end result of life's daily pain and suffering, trials and failures, tears and laughter, readings and listenings is an accumulation of wisdom in its purest form.

Free is always better I don't know if it works yet though . People price things weird at tag sales I buy and sell a lot and am always amazed at what people think things are worth

True. And I find it almost impossible to ask
LESS than half what they ask; I just feel that's
insulting.

De-palletised and sorted about 200 doors at work, staged four door orders, and finished staging trim for those orders, Pulled and loaded 100 LF of 8x3/4 basswood, unloaded 20 sheets of plywood and the basswood and some fingerjoint cedar at a jobsite, sorted some more doors, and left work @ noon so I could do a followup veterinarian appointment for my dog.

Busy day.  :yawn:

Got kids ready for school and put washing in, dropped sprogs off, went for 40 min walk in which I met a large and very smart dalmatian on a farm track (and discovered another fell path to explore later), took my gran to pick new specs up and potted a rose bush for her, picked little un up and went grocery shopping with PI, picked kids up and went to plant nursery for herbs, planter, muck etc so PI and the kids could make a windowsill herb garden, tidied up, had tasty PI-cooked food, put Xan to bed, watched a couple of episodes of Supernatural, washed up and dried washing from earlier. Forgot to ring dad about finding another car cos the clutch is slipping more often now. Bollocks.

Got the kids on the busses, folded laundry, took a nap, gave Mordok and the boy haircuts, and drank waaaaay too much caffiene.  I should have been in bed an hour ago, dammit.

Woke up, peeled myself off the ceiling and skipped the comb. Stepped out into the wind, to bounce along the street, until it told me I should go and make a pot. [/Pepper]


The coffee pot has become the returning savior, whether it is like the son or like the sun, it comes again each day to pick up the believer in me and cast me into calm.
