More Views from the Hospital

If you’re squeamish, here’s a picture of a cute puppy so you don’t have to see the follow-on pictures unless you want to.  It’s not that they’re particularly graphic or NSFW but it was brought to my attention that the picture of the IV in my arm frightened a few people.  I hate to frighten people by accident.

Soft puppy, Warm puppy, Little ball of fur.
Happy puppy, Sleepy puppy,
Grrr, Grrr, Grrr.

Interesting things 6/10/10

Flower on its way out, cause all things must pass.



Meanwhile the baby bunnies are getting bigger. Even with Chip around the yard.



It’s always a good time to take a picture of our sweet puppy.

Interesting things I saw today 4/19/10

I was playing around with night vision goggles last night, thinking that I might do a series of the world through NVGs. I’m not sure I’ve got enough different material for a series but the first few images were fun.

Starting with a view of our Pistacio tree.



I then stalked our puppy through the goggles.

And stopped with a shot near the patio.

Poochie Cone!

After the last post, I had to post a cute picture of Chip, our rescue puppy.

Susan and I took him out to the park last month and it was quite hot at the time (not the balmy 100 degrees it’s been lately) and while we were getting cones for ourselves, we got a poochie cone for Chip.

Cape May 2008 Pt V

Sigh. The weekend is over.

It started with a gorgeous morning with a bright sun and huge breakers.

Padraig started off with the Kilyon Set.

We then moved over to finish up the Sliabh gCua set.

And wandered the boardwalk and saw dogs everywhere. Poor little bored puppy.

Power supply stunner

Alright, a bit of background first.

A few years ago I needed a variable power supply and found one at a local shop that would do +-5v, 12v and 0-12v dc. It was about $70 if I remember right. It’s similar to this model. The one I have isn’t sold by Omnitron any longer.

Somehow I broke it along the way (it smelled like I let the smoke out) and it stopped being variable and instead put out 16v on the variable side and normal levels on the non-variable side.

Last night I had the time to take a look at it and opened the puppy up.

What I found stunned me.
