I don't think 10 amps will cut it Jeff. I know Radio Snatch carries fuse holders though.

I will stop tomorrow and pick something up. I was thinking 10 amps as the wire is actually really light gauge stuff. Kind of surprised me.

amps?

amperlamps?

Again... sorry for posting tech stuff on the Train.

Jeff, my QTP Cutout had a fuse built-in. The only problem I had with mine was the wiring and where I had put the switch. I put it IN the center console, right behind the shifter/brake assembly. Upon reassembly, the terminals on the switch (3 of 9) got bent and shorted out on one another when i would go to open the cutout, I ended up heatshrinking all 9 terminals on the switch so it didn't happen again.

Any trouble blowing fuses (other than the short) from holding the switch too long? I assume the QTP also has a momentary switch setup.

I'd rock that ram. I like the way it looks. I also like the caption that read the truck looked like it was looking for a Raptor to slap. Mewonders if it will be at the NYIAS next month? I hope so.

No issues holding it too long, it is around 5 sec close/open or open/close, so i just counted. just a spring loaded 3 position (on off on) toggle that always returned to center.

I would love to see the bertstare from the professor after turning in something like that.

I had a quiz this morning in Latin. In the first section of the quiz I wrote "guessing" with a bunch of arrows coming off of it, and then a little picture of a stick figure falling in midair.

I checked my notes afterwards and actually got about 4 out 10 answers correct for that section.

Latin? You studying to be a priest?

Latin? You studying to be a priest?

Degree requirements -> Foreign Language -> 3 semesters, same language, skill accumulating

Latin:
1) Somewhat useful in the healthcare field
2) Dead language -> No speaking -> Less effort

I did a couple years of French in H.S. -- if I had to do it over it would have definitely been Spanish instead. Anytime we have traveled abroad, Spanish would have been nice to know.

I did 2 years of French and a single semester of Latin in high school. Don't remember French worth a damn. I think I learned more Spanish in a week in Mexico when I was 13 years old than the amount of French I learned in the 2 years worth of classes.

And I'll agree with the traveling abroad thing, having my friend who is fluent in Spanish with us was invaluable while we were in Mexico this past week.

He told us that one of the street vendors literally told him "I'll sell it to you for this price; the marked price is for english-speakers"

J'entre dan la salle de classe.

Je regard autour de moi.

Je vois les eleves a la professeur.

Je dit bonjour au professuer.

Je prend ma place.

Probably not spelled right, but these are the first 5 sentences I had to memorize in French on my first day of class. This would be back around 1981 or 1982. Why these have stuck with me for almost 30 years, I have no idea.
