The power should go into the board form the springs. oops, somehow I thought you were electrical. details details, amirite? sorry about that. The dowel thing was just an idea to keep everything intact so you would not risk the original configuration. Kudoes for even considering modifications though! I actually did the dowel thing in some incandescent light fixtures that took the long skinny halogen lamps - I wanted CFL, so I put a dowel in place of the bulb to push the wires from an edison socket pigtail into the contacts. some_admin fucked around with this message at 14:01 on Apr 7, 2016 |

And that thing would pop a wheelie in second gear if I wasn't careful. And it kept up well with traffic. And because the PO cut off the muffler it made amazing noises.

I haven't read mnet in like 2 weeks, check it out, literally 3 threads about "WHY DO OEM WHEELS COST SO MUCH!?!?" The average age of Mnet skews way older than here; however, they still haven't grasped the concept of THINGS COST MONEY. Death to all Boomers, etc. Also, down 20+ lbs since Jan 1.

Tide posted:As you get older, you will become more intimately aware of your own mortality. I had a conversation with myself the other day about this. I'm about to ding 43 and the realization that my life is somewhere around at least 1/2 to 2/3rds over and done with has set it. But I'm not scared of dying. It doesn't actually bother me so much about my parents eventually passing away in the coming years (they are in their mid 70s and not in the best of health). Sure, I'm going to miss them (though I don't see them but a couple times a year). But it doesn't actually make me sad for my folks to pass or even the prospect of ME kicking the bucket. I'm actually okay with it. It's not about what I've done vs what I haven't done, seen, whatever. Whelp, right in the feels man. You're a good dad, and a good husband, to do those things.

Enourmo posted:
that board is actually pretty sparse and there are no difficult things to solder in the picture  I think the smallest part I can see is like an 0603, maybe an 0402.Seriously though, shouldn't be too bad. If you solder to the pads for the +/- terminals and want to still be able to use batteries, make sure you don't let them tip over while soldering, AKA either you need to brace them (or clip it into the housing again so they're supported by it, then solder wires onto the back of the board, which is entirely fine) or work very fast and don't let the whole joint melt because then they can flop around. If it uses 2 AAs and the metal strip that connects the other end of the two AAs together, all you need to do is figure out how to supply 3VDC at ~a couple hundred milliamps to an amp or so. Or if you want to really cheat/be lazy and don't care about how bulky the thing gets, you can get a two D-cell holder and just attach its wires to the same spot. D cells will last a hell of a lot longer than AAs, though they obviously cost more.

As Kastein said, this should be a piece of cake. If you don't already have one, go pick up a vacuum desoldering iron (either has an electric vacuum pump or a red handpump bulb) and just desolder the passthrough and put a new wire in. OR: Upgrade and put in pins and make the wires easier to connect/disconnect to the board. SuperDucky posted:I had a fun night. Dude, I have to take the alcohol from you.

Your company is pretty nice about that sort of thing. Pretty sure I'd get my walking papers if I used my company computer/network for the porn, even once. Then again, I work in a cubicle with other people around me all the time, how stupid would I have to be to have porn on my computer in the office? Also - good job Phone! I went on a mini-vacation to San Diego last weekend and managed to wipe out about 2 weeks of loss in less than 3 days of bad decisions and expensive seafood.

We have a remote employee here for the week. He's a car guy and Ive given him a ride-along in my car before. He took a selfie next to my car this morning and e-mailed it to me with a plea for a chance to drive it. No. Dumbass. We have a Ford dealership literally just down the street. Go drive one of their Mustangs.
