Very briefly…

  1. I did not get the job of manager.  Its a mixed blessing… well, maybe “blessing” is an overly positive word.  Yes I wanted the job and thought I would have done well at it, but I have to admit that I was concerned it would consume a great deal more of my time than my current job.  I don’t even know what the difference in pay would be.  The new guy starts on 3/13 I think and he’s supposed to be very good and someone that anyone would want to work for.  So that’s all good news.  But I didn’t get the job and that’s bad news.
  2. I bought a $10 smoke detector tonight because I found a hint online that explained how to turn it in to a water detector.  That is, after some “customizing” a couple of wires will sit in a bucket under my kitchen sink.  If enough water winds up in the bucket to complete a circuit the detector will start howling like a banshee.  Needless to say, Liz is thrilled with the idea.  I have removed the extraneous housing and some other superfluous hardware leaving only a board and some components.  Now I get to use my soldering iron to make my modifications!  More to come later.
  3. Kids are well.  Wife is well.  The dogs stink.  The youngest one crapped in the basement.
  4. I leave you with this: an “instructable” about how to taxidermy a rat, fill it with magnets and electronics and have a good time.
