Guest guest Posted November 5, 2006 Posted November 5, 2006 After 14 LOR hobby kits, several nights of 3-4 hours sleep and a only two or three soldering iron burns.... I AM FINISHED! Wooohoooo.Only one problem, everytime I doze off I am transported to the world of Tron cruising my speeder along the resistor/triac circuitry. Road signs flashing past, R7 swoosh, Q0 swoosh, R8 zing, Q1 whoosh, R 9.After a while, I decide to head inland to the strip mall of opto-triac isolators but no money to spend because I used it all on LOR boards so I contmeplate ending it all by driving into the unknown abyss of the transformer. So like an adrenaline seeking youth, I speed evercloser, playing chicken with myself because the transformer is not moving (owing to the superb soldering skills of the LOR board master).At the last second, I make a hard right only to realize that I have become disoriented and I am heading straigt for the main power input.But those of us old enough to remember know how well the Tron bikes turn on a dime. That's enough Adrenaline for today. I'm heading to the R20 to R27 resistor coast. Take a calm cruise north and bed down in the Red LED district.OK, I have lost it. I need a break.Thanks Dan, Mary and LOR co.Steve
Guest guest Posted November 5, 2006 Posted November 5, 2006 I remember Tron well... (Loved the Light Bikes!)And yes...you have lost it ! :shock:Time to take a break :waycool:
Guest guest Posted November 5, 2006 Posted November 5, 2006 Awesome. I thought about the light bikes a couple years back when Shania Twain had that video (was it Up!?).Good job finishing up that many boards. I could see a solder joint count thread in your future.Moving Target in NC
Guest guest Posted November 5, 2006 Posted November 5, 2006 he hasn't lost it, the LOR supercomputer is mad at him and digitized him into the pc board layout zone.
Guest guest Posted November 5, 2006 Posted November 5, 2006 A solder joint count, wow... there are a lot of them on one board. You'd think I might have counted at least one of the fourteen times through it but I didn't.
Guest guest Posted November 5, 2006 Posted November 5, 2006 Tron, huh, now I feel old cuz I even remember that now, great description bringing it all back with the LOR board. Here come the special thanks credits... ...LOR graphic effects.
Guest guest Posted November 5, 2006 Posted November 5, 2006 How about instead of a solder joing count we add a "burn count." That would REALLY show an inviduals dedication (or at least how bad they are at soldering!)...
Guest guest Posted November 5, 2006 Posted November 5, 2006 That is too funny. 14 Boards-wow. that is something to do in the off season (Whenever that is).:shock:
