Homie, please tell X how to use magazines, otherwise I will never get a pin-pointer No no!

he always seems to slip up on something Thumbs Down

as for the detecting, it just is not right that we have to do so much other stuff instead of swinging the coil, I will have to get the union involved in this problem Funny

Can you not use overhead projector slides that go into lazer printers? I have quite a bit of this stuff as we used to use it at the church for showing the choruses onto the wall during the service. I would think that if you laid the film onto the board, it would do the same thing using the black light Idea

Let me know bud and if you can use it I will give you all my rubbish again Laughing

now stop making excuses and get my pin-pointer working Club

Ha now why did you not give that (transparencies) the last time that you came to my place Angry

I would have had the board done by now and I would be busy placing the components on it as we speak. Cant you email me some Grin

Ho well perhaps some day :

Homefire do you mean to tell me that it will work like that blue transfer paper?

Sorry Bud, I never even thought what could be done with those things until now Cry

why don't you print out the tracks on paper and cut them out and stick them onto the board Grin

I have also heard that if you print the tracks out and put the paper into cooking oil it will make the paper transparent..... don't know if true or not.... you must use the brain that you have been given (or not) Funny

now stop making excuses and blaming us all the time Clapp

Man Oh Man it's ugly here this morning. Can't see the Mountains, Can't see more then a Mile anyplace. Stinks of old Camp fire.

We have a Major fire going on in the Gila Forest. Largest in Recorded history. Last up date I got was 200,000 acres.

Got the Swamp Box cooler running it takes some of it out of the air.

This far One of my Gold panning spots is toasted.

Two others are Roads Closed due to Smoke.

Oh , Joy!
