I didn't think I would get it; but I stood in line at the Uni today. I just added another piece to my collection for a future lab. HP 33120A 15MHz Function / Arbitrary Waveform Generator.

It didn't come with cables; but came with a good price $5.00. I know it turns on but; not sure if it needs calibration or if it produces a signal yet. I need to clean off my kitchen table / workbench and hook it up to the scope.

I'm drooling.

 

Hello,

I got my christmas present a bit early. A used HP Z210 computer, that I am using right now.
I also got an early birthday present. A Samsung C460FW multifunctional printer/scanner.

Well right new I have a happy loving energetic wife in my house, like the one I married, which I should be thrilled about but given her track record and general attitude for the last ~2 - 3 years all I can think is it just further confirms that she is bipolar.

Too much of a good thing too fast just makes me suspicious.

 

Here is what the wife surprised me with. Totally unexpected. I had borrowed one from a Ham buddy, she called him to find out what he thought I wanted. It only cost me a new car for her...

Trust me. Bi-polar switches back and forth a lot quicker than that.

You see, I would generally like to be with a woman that is happy on a day to day basis. Every time I find one, she turns out to be bi-polar.

Theories:
1)The only kind of woman that looks happy in public is clinically insane.
2)I have some kind of insanity radar that guides me to this kind of woman.

The only sure cure I have found is to quit women altogether. It works for me.

So, what does this get me for Christmas?
Silence. Blessed silence.

 

Oh believe me minute by minute 180's in personality and attitude are pretty normal here. The fact that a positive swing lasted for more than an hour or two is what makes me suspicious.

 

I must have been good. I received a chromebox, beard trimmer, stud finder, massage chair and warm pajamas.

The stud finder was for her.

 

Actually, it's not usable because it goes off every time I go near it

Hmmmm....I'd say it's defective. Did she keep the receipt?

That seriously worries me.
Think...a sudden, unexplained calm on the exterior, coupled with a lack of arguing about trivial matters, which is usually incessant.

I get two warning bells, suicide and divorce.

If I was in North Dakota in January, either of those thoughts would make me shut up and smile.

 

To find the new home I am looking for which has to have a room just for all the stuff, bench, PC and instruments. That has been the stumbling block every time. Certainly, not easy.

Ever notice that your needs are the last priority ??

Yes. It took me a divorce and 5 years, to have my right / necessity of having a real home, (own home), recognized as valid. If I finally get it (hope so), I will be alone anyway...!

Well she is pretty heavily insured..........
and she is still not a official US citizen so....... either way, What's the down side?

Turns out she was sick the last couple of weeks I was out int oil field and went to the local clinic so now she is hopped up on antibiotics. (Just guessing they may have killed the bug that's been up her butt.)
