[Elecraft] K2: The Dog Ate My Part
How embarrassing is this? As I was working on the KPA100 last night, the EL5146CN op-amp (a small 8-pin IC) slipped out of my fingers and fell to the floor - right in front of the idiot lab/pit mix who promptly decided to taste it. She didn't swallow it (fortunately), but it's well chewed and I have to order a replacement from Elecraft. Why me?

Oh, that is tooo funny. I've had 3 labs. It's a good thing God made them cute because they sure are stupid! (said in loving jest). Actually, you might have been better off if she HAD swallowed it. Dogs don't chew. You could have just waited a day or so and retrieved it from the yard and it would have had no chew marks. I'm sure she'd have delivered her package faster than the replacement would arrive through UPS. UPS will put the package on the front porch though. If your dog did that, she'd probably hear bad dog. :-) - Keith N1AS - - K3 711 - -Original Message- From: Jon KB1QBZ ... op-amp ... slipped out of my fingers ... idiot lab/pit mix ...

But Jon, at least the glass didn't break.

Our Temple Cat likes SMD parts, but only those types that have lots of legs. She's not interested in inexpensive SMD capacitors/ resistors, leaves those for the dogs. 73, Geoff GM4ESD Jon Perelstein wrote: How embarrassing is this?

Jon, It's that pit mix that is your problem. A purebred lab (or better yet, a bullmastiff like I have) would have whipped out a soldering iron and installed it for you! Hi.

Re: [Elecraft] K2: The Dog Ate My Part
Ha, ha! Jon, you might want to save that well chewed I.C. As a 10 year old kid fascinated by radio, my sable collie decided to taste the binding of my prized, hardbound ARRL handbook - my first radio book that I read so often I can almost recite whole paragraphs today. He made a pretty mess of one corner, chewing through the cover into the glue along the spine. I patched it up with some cellophane tape and probably glared at him a lot for a long time, but he was my best bud throughout my teenage years. He died a decade later while I was away in the Army. Half a century later I still have that book sitting on the shelf, and every time I see or hold it I remember my old friend. Ron AC7AC -Original Message- How embarrassing is this?
