This is probably going to be a short post as I’m dragging my butt right now. It was a good day, though.
I got together with WG this morning and we went to the record store and then a nearby second-hand store to take a look at their record selection. It was great to hang out with WG today but I don’t know how much fun I was – I was pretty tired.
When I got home I listened to a couple of records and then took a nap in front of the record player. It wasn’t a particularly good nap – I find that without my CPAP machine I really don’t sleep well. After that I gave my folks a call and had a grest chat with both of my parents.
Once I was off the phone, I felt pretty lonely. I sat around the house for a bit and then decided to force myself to do something. Off to the basement laboratory I went, intent on cleaning off my workbench and getting it in order to do some tinkering in electronics.
J got home a little while later (it was so good to see her!) and we talked for a bit before having a delightful chicken Caesar salad for supper and then we both went back downstairs and did some more cleaning.
Determined to accomplish something electronic-y, I fired up my little computer, grabbed a breadboard, and got a PIC to blink a single light on and off once per second. It was nice to see that it didn’t take me too long to remember how to do that, but I think I’ve lost a LOT of the electronics knowledge I used to have because I didn’t use it for quite some time.
But… the outside is hot and the basement is cool. Something tells me I’ll be spending a lot more time at my electronics bench.
Stay safe!
