1. Ham Radio
2. I'm also a break/fixer - I do that a lot to electronics. I'm always trying to make stuff better that wasn't broken to begin with.
3. Component level repair (electronics).
4. SMT work (I don't know a soul who actually "enjoys" it) Tolerates it and does it for work yes, but I actually used to stay late JUST to use the scope/tools and desolder/solder on junk boards.
5. Making things work together. Engines and gauges. Databases and websites, Email and automation software, radios and antennas. Koolaid and pitchers.
6. Horrible thunderstorms. Severe weather. I know folks get a kick out of it (skywarn watchers and storm chasers) I won't say I go that far, but it definitely moves when I know I shouldn't get anywhere near outside. I hate hurricanes because they never have lightning and spawn really weird unpredictable tornadoes.
7. Traffic - As long as I ain't late - it lets me talk on the radio more easily.
8. Turkey Bacon. Lots of people do like it though.


Mosh, I like pigs feet (pickled) AND deer heart (also pickled). I love anything at all that is pickled. I even bought pickling spices (though I think they are most commonly used in Corned Beef of all things)

What pitch are you playing around with? I just paste a board and throw it in the oven. I don't have the patience to do it by hand.
 
In this country? Soccer.

Oh and that picture I still have of Mosh's toes. :ninja: ;P

I like cooking as a guy. Most guys don't and I'm not talking about just grilling either.
 
Back when I did it they were mostly qsop or tsop micros, usually .635 or .5. QFP and bigger PLCC's 0603 and larger resistors and some larger caps. The hardest problem I had was that they were rework boards so I couldn't just re-oven them. These were already failed and I just liked finding ways to even get teh iron down in there without melting something else.
