[Lowfer] Noon hour signals in London

Mon, 2 Dec 2002 22:47:29 -0500

> I don't know how you can adjust that card without an extender?

Its simple:

1) Open garage door enough to duck down to enter (keeping the blowing snow
from entering

2) Grab tools, including the little nail that you modified to a screwdriver
for the cap

3) Duck under door, head out to site.

4) Remember flashlight. Run back to garage. Pull watch cap well over head to
block snow from eyes.

5) Slam face directly into half-open garage door. Don't be a wimp. Slam it
hard. Cut nose. See stars. Sit down in snow until your senses return.

6) Think of Bill and how he needs the data.

7) Say "<expletive> Bill."

8) Open garage door. Say "<expletive> the snow."

9) Get flashlight.

10) Adjust trimmer.

11) Go to house, look at ARGO.

Repeat 10 an 11 as necessary.

More directly to your question... I am using an OLD computer with lots of
ISA slots. I put the LW-MAX in a slot at one end and removed all the other
cards except the video card which is at the other end of the bay. Thus, I
have enough room to reach in and work the trimmer cap.
