stormdogAnother thing that is important to me is puzzle solving that I can get really engaged in. The 15 or 20 hours I spent reverse-engineering my Ebayed vacuum-tube voltmeter was one of the more enjoyable things I've done, hobby-wise, for a long time. I want more puzzles to solve. I'm going to pick up some audio equipment from Lisa that needs work, but more immediately I have a Sigma 400mm prime lens with an aperture lever that doesn't work right. Tonight, I'm going to take it apart a bit and see if I can work out what the problem is.
I feel so *good* about myself when I fix things, whether it was something complicated like reverse-engineering a schematic and replacing a bad vacuum tube or simply resoldering a couple of wires to make a thrifted digital scale work.
