He's not sure if he's gonna sell the house or not. Said he might keep it just to store stuff for a while.

He inherited a 10 acre property and house when his dad passed and has been working on it since. I told him I want a heads up if/when he sells, I'm tempted to buy his house/lot, double my property and maybe rent the house.

I think I can get this closed down tonight.

Plenty of beers in the garage, and nothing else to do tonight. Too cold and wet to do anything outside, wife's going to bed early so I can't make noise inside, and boy got an old slot car set from gramma this weekend that doesn't work, so I'll take that out to the garage to do some soldering and stuff, see if I can't make it work.

I've never seen it but wife is into it. Brother in law pays for the HBO and I pay for the Netflix.

Just checked the cameras, she's not in the living room, and the lights are off. So probably not watching.

Just got done cutting the plastic off the original connectors and tried to solder the controller wires back on but only succeeded in melting the original solder and wrecking the contacts.

I miss radio shack. Would be been a quick trip for the bits I needed. Now gotta wait for delivery on the ordered parts.

Proof of concept completed. Now just gotta make it kid proof, or at least kid resistant. Gonna wire up a DC power source while I'm at it, as it was battery operated and I have more spare DC converters than I have batteries. That I cn do without parts.

Tested the 1 week bottle from the batch of beer... Not as terrible as I expected. Hopefully at 2/3 weeks it'll be ok. Drinkable.... But not going to win any awards

I'm not in the mood to name a new 500, tried to get to sleep earlier but now I'm up.
