    Well, they built a dozen of them, so you know there’s gotta be a handful of them sitting crated up in a warehouse next to the Ark of the Covenant somewhere…

    That GEM and handgun would go really well with astrophotography sessions out on the rim of Palo Duro… grats! I’m still trying to figure out what to do with the OT I’m getting, but after bills get paid I’m leaning towards stuff that’s more mechanical. I still need lockers and a winch on the jeep.

    Wow, still very nice… I need to find some time to get out and do some more astro shots but I have too much crap on my plate as it is. I’m just gonna have to lose sleep I guess.

    Thanks, Orionid, and CISS. it was a bit strange to find frost on everything yesterday morning…today it’s raining and 40 but the wind has died down. I’m not at all used to the clouds being so high up! LOL

    Another very common location for cracked solder joints is where the power socket is attached to the laptop’s mainboard. CISS’ method can usually pick this up as well.

    If you find the loose connection, the fun will be trying to get access to it… they just don’t build stuff to take apart these days. The power port on the lappy is relatively straight forward (if a bit cumbersome), but often the case on a power supply/charger is glued permanently shut.

    The one you whacked sounds like it’s got a crappy solder joint inside. Possibly a silly question, but do you have a volt meter in the house?

    I suppose Yankee fans are the Texans (state not team) of the baseball world. Loud, undeservingly proud of something they had nothing to do with and cannot wait to talk to you about something you don’t care in the least about.

    *ahem* I’m not a Texan, but I’m getting close to a quarter century here (half my life, God help this mountain boy). There are pros and cons.
