I am trying to crank out all of my "once in a lifetime" man projects before my wife decides its time to have a baby..... So far we are not having any kids, but at 33 its probably close to the baby alarm going off. Is that just an accidental disagreement of tense, Trevor, or does one of you think one thing and the other think something else? Or is there a "surprise" factor in there that I'm missing?

Always call the place you live a house. When you're old, everyone else will call it a home.

"Tense" is the word to describe all matters of children in our home. Actually, I'm probably more open to it than she is. Although, I still raise an eyebrow at the pub/restaurant when a little one somewhere fusses at a table.

Then you really should talk to Mark. Just before he and Joyce passed the point of no return, I was out to dinner with them and Mark went all postal on a little kid at the table behind us for kicking the back of the booth. I'd never seen ALL of Mark's teeth before! (I'm kidding. There were 3 kids. A single fork embedded in a single head does not constitute "postal," especially if they were asking for it.)
Andrew (Murph) and Sharon are fast approaching the "purchase only" option. You could ask them. Or you could ask JP about not having kids. He can help you, not only because he's a shrink, but he's never had kids either. Oh, that!? He just THINKS Nolan is his.

I've been there, shouting at someone elses kids. Then when their dad stands up, I punch him in the nose and tell him off as his eyes are watering.... Then I snap out of it and keep chewing my food. . Sorry, watched Walter Mitty recently. So, I'm hoping to draw from our IT personnel. I have to find a convertor box that takes a 12v trigger input and then transmits an RS232 code that I program. I think I have found one, but the baud rate of the device is 19200. The baud rate of the amplifier I want it to control is 38400. Will this work? Its kind of old tech and not a whole lot of inexpensive options out there.

Here is the device in question. The pic is the module shown from each side. I have the codes for the amplifier, just need to find a 12v or IR activated programmable RS232 controller. I hope this one works. Any help would be greatly appreciated. http://www.hallresearch.com/page/hr-4p

A single fork embedded in a single head does not constitute "postal," It was a dull spoon. If you, Joyce and Cam weren't doing so much Coke that night, you would have remembered that correctly. And, for the last time, that cop DID identify himself as such and not "The Merry Mailman".

What the baud?! Its not an issue it turns out. The device has selectable output rates. Ordered. Kinda sucks I had to spend 300$ on something just to turn amps on and off in an equipment closet. Oh well. I'll absorb the cost somewhere else. No one ever starts a hobby to save money I guess.... Or do they. Coupon collecting.... Hmmmmm. Interesting....

Speaking of saving money, local home improvement stores are now starting to clear out dimmers and other controls that are not compatible with LED lighting. I picked up a Maestro three way dimmable set of switches for $5 !! I will use halogen lighting with them. The bar area outside of the room is now dimmable so guests dont have to throw the lights on when grabbing a slice or a pee break. Score!
