Was able to get me some rueben sammiches during the plant luncheon this week. My cost was $5 and I contributed 3-2L bottles of pop.

Hell Yes! Bring on the Mountain Dew!  :) :D

But for other people who like Coca-cola beverages, then too bad, so sad. Cry me a river.

Gosh i ain't had Subway in a long time. Might be time to go have a sub.
I usually see one at Walmart when i go to town but i pass it up in favor of del taco.

Jade Sinapu:
Okay Kobuk I know you are pro Dew, but dang it! No coke at slime-way? I mean sub way?

I loves me a frosty coke!


My good news? I now own a working piece of test equipment that still costs $8000, plus a calibrating kit costing $5000 and a noise source that costs $2000. Holy cow man!
The noise source cost me a few hundred,  the test equipment was free i just had to repair it.  And the calibration kit was almost free.  I even have an accessory item costing another$4000 ( i paid one hundred) I just had to repair a bad connector!!  It is scary I have stuff supposedly costing almost $20,000 sitting in a room... and i paid only about 300, OMG. What a burden to take care of this stuff! And thing is,  every few years, if I don't replace 2 special batteries,  the main item dies forever.  I have to do a special thing when switching in new batteries to preserve memory.  I've done it once and idk if I can do it again!

With all this junk,  I can do measurements of things most people can't.  I could turn this into a small time side hustle.  I could charge a small fee to test items etc and provide measurements.
Worst case is sell it individually for what I listed here.  But this junk is a one in a life time set. What a dellimma!!

I'm addicted to buying damaged test equipment, repairing it,  etc.
I need to stop!! :goldlaugh:

Rocket T. Coyote:
Received a settlement check in the amount of $415 this week. This almost evens out the wheel bearing expense.

Firelight:
I'm getting better still have a sore throat though.
