No, he isn't my brother but I don't get that "zing" when I am around him. Chemistry. He is one of those guys I desperately would want to be attracted to because he is the nicest and sweetest guy ever. He is a little older than me, semi retired, owns his house straight out, loves kids (coaches 7/8 year old hockey team), works out about 5 days a week, plays on a hockey team, is such a loyal and helpful friend who will drop everything to help a friend out, and has paid for my friends (his little sister) bills to help her out. Just a nice guy. But no "zing". I have several guy friends that started out as "dates" but no zing. Still no zing with any of them. Sigh... It's all good. I am good at being single I think. When I see the zing, I will know it. And he asked me to go see a movie, told him I would get back to him after I figure out my schedule.

I took the bikini pic while I was sunbathing at my pool. It is from the the viewpoint of me. No head. Lol! I took it for my friend who was painting her bedroom and I was trying to convince her to come over and hang with me and the boys. She has boys the same age as mine. So, I texted her the pic to tease her into coming. She responded by saying, "B&@$! Get off your butt and come help me paint". He he.

My brain is still on our holiday weekend. Not being very productive. All I have done is sent a couple emails... Need more coffee.

That is better than being bored because you are eating.

True, Glen. But I don't think I would ever get bored eating...too much of a foodie.

Good news, I get my hair done today! Yay! I am gonna look hot tonight. Too bad I don't have a date tonight... Or even non-date.

The correct answer is touch them and feel which is warmer. Norton has a current source going through a resistor all the time, dissipating power. Thevenin will be open with nothing connected so cold because no power dissipated.

Glenn, they aren't labeled.

Yea, I kinda figured that, but you did not state it in the rules!

Haha. Clever idea but good luck with that. It would depend upon the power rating of the resistor/s. If the designer was worth his/her salt and over rated their design, you probably wouldn't be able to feel a difference.

Hi Jeff. All this talk of Thevenin and Norton circuits brings back memories of EE circuits classes and some of my early work as a design engineer.

We have a stupid bird in our suburb that chirps all night long, starts about 11pm and goes all night, its a very noisey sings so many different tunes, sounds like a bluddy canary, and its song goes on and on and on and on, and it sounds like a mimmicker like it mimics other bird species.

Anyone know what it is? Anyone know why it goes all night?

It is driving my crazy, I like to sleep with the windows open to get some fresh air, but I have to close them now, otherwise it is just too loud, but I can hear it even with the windows closed.

aaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

mockingbird, or someone's canary/parrot that they put outside at night so that they can sleep, that is my best guess, azzy.
