Yes, worth depends on the cost of the delay time in getting them.

Right now it is a moot point:

1. I've spent most of the day changing out a broken electric window 
regulator in my 99 GMC, 2nd time now, and while I had the door apart, 
looking for why my outside mirrors have not been motor driveable since I 
had the cab restored 2 years ago. No blown fuses in either panel, but 
there isn't a drop of power anyplace on the multiconnector switch cable 
plug to the armrest switches.

That about wiped me out, and cost me a bucks worth of skin poking around 
inside the door trying to plug in the tweeter for the doors radio 
speakers, I was bound and determined to get it plugged in again without 
removing the &%$# door panel again.

Picking up the tools after giving up on the mirrors, I remembered the Toy 
had a low tire light on the dash so I gauged the usual suspect and ran 
it up another 23 lbs.  Wheels are rusting and the beads don't seal all 
that well after a decade and 65k miles.

So now I'm beat, and have declared its beer-thirty and I'm one of those 
near beers sold as Miller 64 behind.  It does sorta taste like beer, but 
only 2.8%. Half a stock tank of it for any effect IOW.

2. In the middle of all that, the mailman puttered on by and put that 
Raspberry-pi 3 in the mailbox.  So, first things first, find or buy an 
hdmi to vga or dvd-i cable since that Wallmart/AOC monitor I am going to 
use on it does NOT have an hdmi input. As Jackie wore it out 40+ years 
ago on tv, what a revoltin development that was.

Then I need to dl the image to put on the u-sd cards I got 3 of, and see 
if I can write those with the usb-universal memory card adapter I have.

Once my 2nd pain pill for the day kicks in, I might go see what sort of 
adapter cables I can get from Wallies.  If my giddyup comes back...  But 
I can't see it off in the distance. :(

And with those jumper cables I bought from amazon off the table till the 
end of November, find something else a month quicker. Digi-Key probably.  
Although mpja has single 40 wide female/female 8" long @ $3.95/copy, and 
they have the hdmi stuff, click, click,,, be here Tuesday or 
Wednesday. :)

Thanks everybody.

Cheers, Gene Heskett
