Got my kid to look at a mobility scooter that wouldn't take power,she found a cable going to the controller melted,replaced it,but dressed the leads wrong resulting in a short of the 36v battery becoming negative grounded.The old lady said her radio makes this buzzing sound,kid said,shouldn't matter,i said,Little girl,the kid who bragged how she did an IF alignment on a Russian Communications receiver,where,according to her,''all the knobs work the wrong way'',these things run an ungrounded supply,to prevent the controller,which chops the incoming DC into Square wave DC,from radiating harmonics at RF,no fix it please.:lol:

I got a call from my son a while back.
OK. He never calls us.
All the pleasantries got over with.
"Would you like to have lunch with us?"
"Well, yes. We'd be delighted."
The last time I'd seen him was on my 65^th a few years ago when all the brats plus my sister turned up. Unexpectedly. At least by me. Last person to know.

"We'd be delighted. When would be good for you?"
"Sunday."
"This Sunday?" (Just a couple of days away.)
"Yes."
"OK. We can do that."
Other than Formula One, the pinnacle of motor sport, my weekends are flexible.
"Thanks Dad. BTW, do you know anything about dimmers?"
"Maybe. What's the problem?"

Well, I fixed his dimmers. Remove, replace technique.
And we had a wonderful lunch.

Happened to me this last weeked. I got a lot of teasing about being clueless. Nice to know I am not the only.

The bad part of that is I now know how my Dad felt when I came around for the first time in a week or two.
What do you need or want? or what's wrong? Was his first question.
My kids do it to me and I just say to myself "that's what you get" LOL
