Part of the load I went north for in October included a high-end 5 diopter, five inch lens LED lighted (whew pant-pant) swing arm magnifier. It is worth it's weight in platinum. This is BMW Lexus grade stuff, a gift to me I could never have afforded on my own. Even with 5 diopter, I fit reading glasses to see component markings on voltage regulators, and opto couplers.
But puzzling over this while asleep (the best way I know how) I awoke with an idea. A thin bar magnet plate. Maybe three inches wide, a foot long, and a quarter inch thick. Slap two or three helping hands on it and shuffle them around as needed. Now, to find such a magnet that's another project.
No way am I going to become a couch potato. I have one eye remaining to get the cataract fixed and that will help with the depth perception problem. The medical is why I am here 2-days from the border instead of 5. After the toad is fixed I move right to the border and let the quacks have at me. Things are really getting sorted out. A roof rack, a rehabbed toad, goodies galore, some surgeries, new clothes and home I go. Solar panels even! Wowee with the roof rack I can get a mini 0-50 volt 5 amp adjustable power supply and a ton of one amp 12 volt wall warts. Dimmers. Jed Clampett heads for Michoacan.
