Yea, again today here in OKC, I was putting together some of the parts of 8 new cameras built from scratch. The tiny parts and connections, and the way they work all are just cool to see go together. Some the wire connectors are a challenge to crimp the tiny parts on the wire, and insert into the gang connectors. Programming the servo motors, and the overall design is just really astonishing. I just help assemble the parts into the whole. The design of the electronics and the software is just another order of magnitude above my understanding.

The camera sensors are really cool, and made by companies that make sensors. They only produce a file that is a RAW Bayer pattern that has to be post processed to even look like an image.

I am just the entry level grunt right now. I hate working with glasses that magnify 3.5 times as is so much so small tedious work. Still it is fascinating.

Afternoon all. I'm still hanging in there. The Porsche was sold before Christmas and has moved to a different state now. I am down to around 175LBS which is not good but better than the alt.

I'll try and get on here more as all I do is sleep.

Glad to read you are still around. I started to send you a text, but I did not want to bother you.

We had 7.5 inches of the white crap fall from the skies last weekend. I bet it is another 5 days before it all melts. I hate that crap, and if I wanted to see it, I would drive to the mountains where it belongs but I would go visit it in the summer while wearing shorts.

Yep still around just tired a lot and the computer is far away from the couch where I nap most of the days away. When the time comes I hop the wife will let someone know and that person will fill in the rest as needed.

Finally got my train set home from when I was in kindergarten. The original AHM locomotive doesn't work. Had an F7 that I converted to DCC and got a DCC controller for Christmas. I can expand the layout now as well on 3 4x8 sheets instead of the 4x5 layout it is now.

Found a nice Dash 9 BNSF loco at the local shop for $127 off. It doesn't run on the current layout with the tight curves.
