Viking 0 #1 November 17, 2002 I got a free jump, rental and all today for taking a few pics of the DZ from altitude. I was scared shitless hanging out the door with a $1600 camera but i snapped a a few shots and then passed the camera back and went out and did a four-way. We got one round in and almost an open accordian. It was fun and FREE!!! Kick ass!! Back in the sky after a month and feeling a lot better!!! edit: oh ya i got pics of an AWSOME! sunset on my way back home. Orange ball of sun reflecting off Otay lake with clouds in the background and tree's in the foreground!I swear you must have footprints on the back of your helmet - chicagoskydiver My God has a bigger dick than your god -George Carlin Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

christoofar 0 #13 November 17, 2002 I go to the gym and I run... but instead of improving it just seems to be getting worse! Now instead of a flat slob... I just look like a lardbutt with thick quads. ____________________________________________________________ I'm RICK JAMES! Fo shizzle. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest #14 November 17, 2002 Quote I go to the gym and I run... but instead of improving it just seems to be getting worse! Now instead of a flat slob... I just look like a lardbutt with thick quads. hehehe I did 1/2 hour on a rowing machine today, followed by a short break and 1/2 hr on the Nordic Trak... I then went to the grocery store and had some California Rolls and garlic potato chips. I'm now chasing the lot with "Fire Station 5" brand Fire Boat Amber. As an associate of mine said the other day, one must offset the fitness, in order to maintain balance in one's life...hehehe Hey! What can I say? The weather here in the Puget Sound area has been appalling! It looked like "Twin Peaks" when I drove through Lake Stevens yesterday. What have I been doing with myself? A co-worker of mine at Boeing was given GRATIS, the full-size arcade version of Space Invaders. Trouble is, it doesn't work. So, I offered to help him to troubleshoot it. We got the fault isolated to the motherboard. The composite video display works - I know because I jumpered a camcorder into it, and we got the picture squared away. I've isolated the component that is at fault: a DS3245 clock driver chip isn't working, so the 8080 MPU isn't getting phase 1 and 2 clock signals. Anybody know where I can get an obsolete semiconductor like that? Sorry for ramblin' ramblin' rambin' here, but what the heck, I'm getting hammered.

airann 1 #15 November 17, 2002 Oh no, Vikings pics -especially the ones he emails me directly. Self Portraits are delish....

christoofar 0 #17 November 17, 2002 I've seen the most interesting projects come up from drunk ASM programmers farting around with arcade stuff (like Z80).

Guest #18 November 17, 2002 You'd think there would be a really good electronic surplus market in this area, but there's very little. I'm going down to Re-PC (6th Ave S in the Industrial district in downtown Seattle) this week in an effort to locate older boards that might have a 3245 clock chip on them. I'd probably have more luck down in Cali in either the LA area or the Bay. That, however, is too much trouble to go to at this point. We might try to get a board off eBay and cannibalize the chip off it. mh"The mouse does not know life until it is in the mouth of the cat." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
