    A mouse ate my wires... Seriously.

    It made a nest in the chassis and ate the insulation off the wires. The amp builder must have switched to soy plastic for insulation on the wire. Mice think it's food.

    LOL. Once an earthworm inexplicably made its way up the first floor of my house, and into the PSU of my personal computer. It happened at night. All the fans went whirring waking me up, machine dead, and when the pc got fixed i opened the dead PSU expecting blown capacitors or shit like that. What I found was a fried worm of respectable size.

    Smoked too much out of my vape pen, feel like I don't get high enough at 98% THC... I get a better kick out of 80ish %... maybe more cannabinoids? I don't like vape pens much I feel there generic, just convenient. I got 149/150 on my final today, and I was allowed to take it again. I got 149/150 the second time. lol....

    Another good note, this has been a tough year. It's not easy getting a job when you got felonies a few years back (Like six years...). well thats my fault. Turns out I love electrical anyways just hate attics dont mind crawlspaces. winter is tuff. I just got a good job delivering auto parts for hourly and mileage and that was lucky and nice most company's don't do second chances. alright bye.

    That happened to me once back in the 1970s, my beautiful Panasonic stereo was suddenly worthless... turned it on and it shorted out... Damn those pesky mice!

    Wish I could do that. Here in Mexico the postal system is seemingly non-existant.

    finally managed to find a way to import files to SVI CP/M filesystem. The utility FILECOPY.COM takes care of that swapping files across DOS and CP/M disks, no need of serial cables though imma experiment with kermit too.
    Installed and ran Wordstar , a word processor from the seventies. It was strangely mesmerizing using such an old piece of software
