Cool. Sometimes I wish I learned more about electronics, but my color
perception kept me on wrenches. I'll just refer to your posts when I
need electronics advice.

I fail every depth perception test ever given to me. Charleston Naval
Shipyard nearly let me go the first time I failed the test, until my
bosses put a stop to it because of my troubleshooting abilities and the
fact that I came in 2nd in the microminiature soldering school...(c;

I don't know how I can solder a tiny wire the width of a hair with no
depth perception. I just don't have it.....???

Don't feel bad Larry, I have been Color Blind since I was 12 years old...
For a RadioMan & Telecommunications Tech, that makes kind of HARD to do
Color Codes, and 500 Pair Wire Splices. I just compensate by ALWAYS
having a very Bright Flashlight in the toolpouch, and with Color
Corrective Glasses, for the last Decade, I can get along.....

I used to work for a Senior Chief ETCS lovingly referred to as "Shakey"
by everyone who knew him. His hand shook something awful, even with a
few beers in him, and to watch him decending into a running transmitter
was a harrowing experience at 3KV. But, just like magic, as soon as
Shakey got down to that last 1/4" before he shorted B+ to the screens or
input, that shakey hand would just freeze, solid as rock, to touch just
that one perfect point.

After seeing it a few times, the thrill wore off. After that, it was
more fun to watch the people who'd never seen Shakey use a scope probe
than it was the probe, itself. The look of horror on their faces, to
think they were just about to witness him exploding was PRICELESS!
