Hello Jim, we were saying ! 

 JH> I got lucky - they were out of the sale model at the local Sears, so
 JH> they substituted another model so I got a $25 one for $10.

        Good on you. But I am surprised that you did not have any
  yet. I am swamped in multi-meters here. The only thing that I
  yearn for is an AC watt-meter, you know the one with a C-clamp
  that opoens up and you place over a wire and it reads the
  watts/amperes flowing through.

 JH> came with a separate AC voltage detector, which I've been wanting.
 JH> Those things are some kind of magic - - can detect if 125VAC is
 JH> present even when no current is flowing thru the conductors.

        PFM ! No less. I am hurrying back to TI tomorrow, there is
  a sale on tools up in Largo and I want to get a chain-saw
  sharpening machine for quite cheap. Also a belt sander for
  $24.00. Can not miss up on these. I was spliting logs again
  yesterday and cutting them to 16" to fit into the fireplace
  insert, slow combustion.  I would use that  machine maybe 10
  times/year so I do not need a $600.00 one, this one is at
  $60.00.

     The Barnstormer says...Bye !
