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.

If we could have had advance notice we could have made a rally out of this.
I bet lots of us have a few electrical spare parts to contribute.

7 gunnysacks of emptied box contents. Around 60 pounds or so each. Then two are in the trunk with breakable stuff still boxed. Have to sit on trunk lid to close it. On top of this heap sits, suitcase, clothing, BiPAP computer and four large bags of medicine. The group 31 AGM, WalMart purchases, Harbor Fright sockets, convoluted tubing, lemon mineral water and I forgot what else lurk in the passenger seat. Hopefully the center arm rests will keep that stuff at bay. 35 PSI in all tires tomorrow. Have to go to Willy's electronics, WalMart once again and when the windows start bulging it's time to head for the firing squad.
