Photo Of Grouch Picking Up Parts

I am bent over with weariness. 700+ miles on Mexican secondary roads, passing through US Customs, changing bank addresses, motor vehicle runaround, and finally, an avalanche of stuff from the UPS store.

Nooooooooo, I can't do things in an ordinary fashion - I need thousands of resistors, transistors, heat sinks. half dozen power supplies, rheostats, wire, DC tp DC everything that exists including 200 ampere mosfets and enough circuit boards to carpet my living room.

There's a Lifeline in there, a Galaxy 2 smart phone, and enough fans to levitate an aircraft carrier. Four gauge cable flashed by. Everything went into gunny sacks. Trunk is packed solid like someone poured concrete. back seat is filled with gunny sacks up to the head rests. An articulated 5" LED workbench lens, Hobby vise, cobalt drills, all stuffed into a 1995 Dodge Spirit.

Ohhh Mexicans Customs is going to love me.

Ijole Hombre! Sace La Loteria!

"Holy Cow Man! I Won The Lottery!

If I make it back alive, Frankencastle tower is going to shoot bolts and scare the villagers.

  • Nah. The crew at The UPS Store 0250 were laughing so hard I'm surprised the photo isn't blurry. Their camera. I'm gonna need a forklift to shovel it all in the front door. I picked up a thingamajig whoopee memory chip and it's taped to the back of my driver's license. I don't know how many cubic acres it holds. Reminds me of the days A.C. Oropeza and I were smuggling used main line railroad track into Sonora. Six incredibly overloaded flatbed truckloads over moonlit dirt tracks at a time. Went to the Chihuahua Al Pacifico line. I just hope the winds of fate don't shift and blow up my rear end on this load. Aduana can get nastier than a ------ on rattlesnake.
