You know what this means, don't you?

went the tales of housewives building their own color Tee Vee sets, then using setup controls.. successfully! I've seen a couple of those, too - textbook clean solder joints. (Page 1 was a short course with a small scrap board, wires - to practice on.) Women (Rosie Riveter) demonstrated their superiority in much meticulous assembly work - with far fewer errors than ever-distracted males.

So we sent them home with a company apron; after they had wired all those B-17 instrument panels. Patriarchies are so habitually dense.

'Course most Heaths were built by men (and their kids!) - a natural process for culling, IDing future engineers. All such talents are soo unnecessary for learning the TLA bafflegab of the smarmy Re-marketing 'Economy'.

(Kinda surprised how few here! would dare even just to tack-solder a wire from Point A to Point B, on occasion.)

Fewer and fewer left, even to remark on the passing of the once-functioning USA.
What a puerile culture as worships dumbth - and doesn't even remember when it didn't.

That's not even 'going out with a whimper'! That's going OUT while thinking it's the IN door. Assholes; give apes a bad name.

Actually Conrad, the problem to begin with was that I couldn't hear the organ from clear across the stage so I couldn't stay in time with her. So I sought a solution, and it led me to Yosef, the Yamaha Sound Board. ;) Now I get to teach it to someone else this week. :) Brenda "I'll rock the darn boat all I want to, and if it's meant to stay afloat, then it will.

Post #230,683 by Steve Lowe 10/24/05 3:57:42 PM Reply	Aye Lots of churches are happy to get a warm body behind the console, let alone someone who actually wants to learn the craft. I got tagged to be the 'sound guy' because someone found out I could solder and could therefore repair broken XLR cables and flaky channels on the snake. Then they discovered I could play guitar..so now I'm the first service sound guy and the second service picker. -- Steve [link\|http://www.ubuntulinux.org\|Ubuntu]

And, BTW, the coax for your average broadcast FM antenna is a bitch to put connections on as the shield is a corrugated copper tube that needs cutting with a hacksaw and you need a sizeable iron to heat it up enough to get a good joint.
