Title: did you ever have one of those days...?

Yes one of those days when building something, your oscillators amplify and your amplifiers oscillate?

Hmmm... time to get away from the work bench and work with the flowers outside I guess... Maybe the flowers will turn into cactus ?  Worth a try ehhh?

arrrggghhhh!

Those are precisely the days when I throw my hands up, declare that it's five o'clock somewhere, and survey the fridge...

Just sayin'

yep you got that right.... 

I watered the flowers to make the YL happy now I'm going to try to do some C programming...  It's been sometime since I've done that so that might cause a little stress also.  At the moment I'm watching 'The War of the Worlds'...  ;D

IIRC Lou Garner (or someone along those lines) once wrote that on these kind of days, time would be better spent taking something apart and restocking you junkbox with valuable parts such CK722s.
