When I was soldering a circuit board in an electronics class today, I burned my finger on the iron; about half an inch past the grip. I went to the nurse and took care of it. Then, about 20 minutes later, I burned myself again! It was the same part of the iron, but this time it slipped between my fingers and burned both of them. These burns were worse than the first one.

Now about the blog title. No, I didn't say those words when I got burned. I chose the line to combine this little series of events with the next item in my music collection. That's right, I've done a MIDI of Paul and Storm's "Epithets" with bleeps and lyrics! So Wayne better finish that files section if all of you want to hear it!

I'm waaaiit-iiiiing...

Ah yes, I know it well.

I have been in electronics professionally for almost 30 years now, and I STILL occasionally burn myself with a soldering iron. It just happens - be careful.

Being in the broadcasting field, I can tell you though, that a soldering iron burn is NOTHING compared to an RF burn. Be extra-careful around radio transmitters & antennas.

25 Watts @ 144 MHz == mobile Ham radio - this WILL burn you.
500 Watts @ 2.4 GHz == small household microwave oven!
20,000 Watts @ 100 MHz == typical FM radio station. OUCH!

Ouch!!! That had to hurt. Hope your fingers get well soon.

I'd love to hear your new MIDI song. I'd like to share a couple of songs myself. Hurry up Wayne!

Looks like one of those days you should have stayed in bed.

I remember one of those days in electronics class.... so many years ago. My project was done and the teacher wanted to have the readings at certain test points on the circuit board. The circuit was live (110 volts AC) and I accidentally touched the wrong place and shorted out part of the circuit. Heavy current was sent to the wrong side of a diode that couldn't handle the stress. The diode overheated and the plastic case was spit in two and thrown 30 feet in either direction. The current then flowed through the broken down diode and entered into the wrong end of an electrolytic capacitor. The capacitor was also overloaded and the electrolyte began to boil and broke through the case and formed a six foot high geyser. The teacher just said, "That was fun, now fix it."
