This morning I did some final updates on a PC I rebuilt for my best college buddy, and then the damn thing would restart. Had to manually clear the BIOS out to get it going again. I replaced the battery while I was in there just to be sure. Got that one finished and packed for shipment and went to AutoZone and bought a siphon. Filled my little gas can, and restarted the generator. Made a couple of short coax jumpers to connect the satellite antennas to the preamps, and they tested perfect. About half the loss (~2dB) of the old ratty cables I'd been using. Should make the receive better, as the lower loss will give me a lower Noise Figure which means my Signal-to-Noise ratio will improve. Went to my mailbox, and all the stuff I had on order came in.<br />Much "better" today than yesterday, except for this morning's PC fiasco!drjimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05647484115197408897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4901205574058136834.post-41774275159926603542010-06-22T18:17:47.856-07:002010-06-22T18:17:47.856-07:00Some days it's just not worth gnawing through ...Some days it's just not worth gnawing through the straps.Jeffrohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06873138122305060834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4901205574058136834.post-77616636232347977752010-06-22T11:58:52.855-07:002010-06-22T11:58:52.855-07:00I hear you.I was having a good day.......then I wo...I hear you.I was having a good day.......then I woke up.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
