The CZickness XLI and on to what's next

[gmcttr]

Years ago my large CRT monitor slowly started having problems. A quick internet search convinced me it was most likely solder joints on the circuit boards failing. Opened it up, shorted out the CRT tube to get rid of stored energy and looked at the boards under magnification and sure enough, there were many cracked joints. It didn't take long with a low wattage soldering iron to clean it up. The monitor lasted for years until it was replaced with a flat panel.

Factories were hot today. Going to be hotter tomorrow.

I'm 1 for 2 on fixing circuit boards in cars. 1st attempt was an HVAC control head like yours. Hand slipped and I removed more than just the capacitor from the board. 2nd attempt fared better and repaired bad solder connections on a Dodge Neon instrument cluster so I didn't have to smack the dash anymore to get gauges working.

On my old ‘88 BMW E30 with the M50 swap, I used to have to refloat the solder joints on the instrument cluster once in a while. If I were skilled with a soldering iron back then, I’d have just needed to do it once.

Dang, I’ll bet. I mowed at about 7pm this evening and even then it was hot in the sun unless a breeze was blowing. It will be 5 degrees hotter tomorrow.

These are the days that make the fall cool down so nice.

I once fixed a light bulb. Determined it was loose and turned it until it was tight. Worked great after that.

It seems like I've seen those letters and numbers somewhere before....

That’s is what we learned this evening as well.
lemmings.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. People have lost their ability to think things through. It’s all emotion and pack mentality. They really do act like sheep.

Morning folks!

I’m up early today again for God knows what reason. I don’t see myself washing a car at 6am this time.

 

[mom45]

I have a couple of dirty trucks if you travel.

CKW and I were up most of the night dealing with my issues.
if ever an Angel fell in search of helping a mortal in need it was her.
I am so blessed and humbled.
there are no words.
