Well my parts for testing came in day before yesterday. But, work has been heavy this week with a new zone buildout, so I haven't had any time to mess with it. If i don't have to travel this weekend, i'll start working on assembling the panel. Shouldn't take too long, as this will be just for testing, so it won't be pretty.


Funny story: I had just stepped out of the shower, when our dane started barking. I walked over to the window, and seen the postal truck at the foot of our drive way. I started to smile as i figured it was my parts, and usually the postal worker will knock, and leave the package at the door. Then, i saw him walking back to his truck, still holding my package. WAIT!!! I screamed, knowing he couldn't hear me. I grabbed my pants and was trying to put them on while going down the stairs, which didn't end well. I jumped back up, finish putting the pants on, flung open the front door, and ran down the drive way. As he started to drive off, he caught a glimpse of me, looked over, and stopped the truck. I gasped, "You have a package for me right?". He replied, "um, yes sir, you'll need to sign for it."

So, i signed for it, and the guy pulled away to continue his route. As i made it back into the house still trying to catch my breath, I heard my phone going off. Had a text message from a neighbor friend that read, "Man, that must be some package!!! LOL". It was then, that i had realized, I had ran outside in thirty degree weather, half naked, waiving my arms like a kid chasing down Santa Claus.

To add insult to injury, my girlfriend (who was at work) sent me a text a few minutes later saying, "Hey, someone just informed me that a half naked old fat man is chasing the mail man through our neighborhood! Just thought I'd warn you."
