I get so *excited* when I successfully make something! I soldered together my function generator kit tonight. There was no output right away, so I started looking for bad solder joints. Then I realized that, while I'd soldered the socket onto the board, I forgot to actually put the chip in it. I did so and it worked just fine the first time! I connected it to my scope and twiddled dials while watching the waves change around.

I want to jump and spin and tell my dog all about it! I just feel so good about myself when I make and fix things.
