Afternoon All.
Barely got out of Oklahoma City today. Freezing rain followed by snow made roads a disaster. Accidents everywhere. Finally made it to the airport. Sitting at the USO in the Dallas airport now. One more flight 'til home.
Wil - take it easy on your back. You car will still be there tomorrow.
Dustin - You're not the only one who didn't sleep well last night. No matter where I go, I never sleep well the first night in a new bed (be it hotel or sleeping bag in a tent). Should be back home in my own bed tonight.
JJ - Best of luck with tomorrow's job interview!

On a another note:
I took apart an LED project i made and used the LEDs to make this.

I needed more light in the back so i took off the light and with the help of a piece of Lego, i made my LED holder.
This is the cut off piece that was not needed.

I drilled the holes that i needed on the Lego piece and sanded down the LED cause they were inverted. That made them flat. Then wet sanded them to make them smooth. Wired them 3 in series and used an 82 ohm resister so i can use them on 14.4 volts. I used 21 LEDs total.
This always happens when i'm stressed out and need something to break the tension.
Tomorrow after the interview, i might start working on the dome light.

Good Luck on the interview tomorrow JJ!
Cool LED conversion project.
Edit: I've been trying to get more smilies added. The powers that be keep side-stepping the issue. Won't let me do it.
