I just looked it over with foxit reader, 68 pages & looked for the N-up 
output without finding it, I'll check acroread for that in the morning.
It looks as if it has some additional info.

I won't mention that if you won't.  ;-)

And apparently that is my first requirement, the detector end in these slot 
interrupters has a pair of supply rail pins, and a ttl like logic level 
output, on a pin pattern circle .050" in radius.  Honeywell HOA2001's.

So it seems.  The stories in the paper at the time mentioned ferric 
chloride as a possible culprit, but offered no clue as to where it came 
from.

Today I'm told, there is a neutralizer for that stuff, and a former 
employee relates that it converts it into a thickened mud. To his mind, 
that wasn't the best solution because he had to bury it.

The diabetes has much the same effect on us.  The chronic fatigue is 
generally because we can't burn the sugar to get the energy, so we wind up 
'running sweeter' than we should be just to get what little energy is 
needed to run things.  Throw in a worn out back & some arthritis, and about 
2 hours in front of the milling machines computer is about all I can 
'stand' without reaching for additional naproxin sodium.  My daily set of 
pill-tainers already contains 2 of those twice a day.  Same for some sort 
of chondriotan sulfate blend, usually whatever comes in the prettiest 
container & in pint bottle quantities.

The metformin (glucophage) to control the sugar uptake, which upsets ones 
innards, often at inconvenient times, also flushes the B vitamins out, so 
we put those & a little calcium and other trace minerals back in to control 
the leg cramps.

My theory is that once started on the pills, hooked for the rest of your 
life.

But my eyes have probably lasted better than most because I take 20 to 45 
mg of Lutien, made from the Marygold flower, once a day which is said to 
help protect the blood vessels in the eye, the rupture of which is largely 
responsible for the blindness associated with high glucose levels.  

Between that and some Lisonopril for blood pressure (and that slows you 
down too), my eyes are still decent 20 some years after being handed the 
first glucose meter.

Sometimes and this is probably more than folks asked, one has to adjust the 
vitamin intake by the color & smell of your urine.  Too much flushes back 
out with obvious effects in that dept.  And that just wastes money.

OTOH, I have now passed the average age of death for a US male, while being 
diabetic, so I must be doing something right.  I've even outlived the only 
person I ever threatened to kill and would have if he would have given me 
the chance.  I think they call that outliving your enemies, the ultimate 
pleasure after sex, back when I could still do that. :) Now? :(

Cheers, Gene
