Thanks for clarifying that Dr. Spark. 10,000 pads for a wafer test jig is reasonable, but you made it sound like you were working on a cutting-edge CPU that would have 10,000 pins in its finished package. That would be extraordinary even for Intel.
As for bikes, just send over any old Harleys that you get bored with, that'd be grand!

This is cool rather than electrical.
I'm working in Montreal for a week. It was sunny Thursday, and walking along I suddenly saw these colurful trees outlined on the pavement. There's no mystery as to how they're caused, given the clues as to the sun's position, the colourful glass-fronted building to the left, and the trees to the right, but it stopped me in my tracks for a moment.

Nice! I first saw coloured shadows on a stage and it blew my mind for a while. I've never seen it out of doors though. I'd love to know if the architect set this up on purpose? And hope we see more of it in future!

So I shipped my railgun capacitor bank, and <sarcasm> UPS took great care of it. </sarcasm>
The bottom left is the charging box/distance operator that came like that, being dragged out of the box. It was probably dragged by the 5 18 AWG silicone wires I had connected to it. In addition to that, the top of the capacitor bank looks like a sledgehammer was taken to it, probably damaging some capacitors beneath. The top is also the most heavily packed, with around 3 inches of packing.

Yea, unfortunately when you claim insurance they take your property and give you the money!
I lost that little battle with USPS over my YAESU wattmeter, and ended up having to fix it myself, All came out well in the end, but it was a close call.

So the claim was denied. Why? I had insisted on using my own box, even though the UPS store employees had looked over the whole thing, and told me which box to use, which I bought from them....
