Jeesh... you can tell it's been eons since I last did much work with VTVMs!

So there being no circuit resistance doesn't sound like a problem I guess.

Heh... yeah... I think that was the biggest factor :-P

Well.... I'll just clamp it really tight into a set of vice grips first :0

Radio Shack should have something if the wire in the fuse doesn't work.

I almost avoided hiking Yosemite because of the tourist zoo the valley can
be. But a co-worker convinced me to drive up to Toulome Valley on the
northern pass highway, and then hike up and over Vogelsang (sp?) and then
down into the valley. I'm glad I did. It was the most exciting 6 day hike
I've ever taken!

That is a problem huh! N. Cal is my favorite for the communities up there,
and the type of people up there... Santa Cruz being my favorite spot. But
the weather from LA down to San Diego by the ocean is unbeatable. A lot of
people are surprised to find that although the beaches can be nice and
sunny, swimming in that Alaskan current can be a bit chilly with water temps
only going up into the 70s F.!
I have a ticket back to S Cal next Tuesday, but circumstances are in a bit
of turmoil here in Florida... and I'm not quite sure what I'll be doing.
Enjoy the rest of your stay... more later when I find a soldering iron (you
can tell how pressing this fix is huh?).
Matt
