....And no life jacket, really.
My "formal" electronics knowledge comes from a couple of semesters of electronics in high school - which is a place I've not been in a long time...a long time....(end Obi-wan flashback).
My dad was an electronics guy all his life - working on sensitive radar and electronics in the Navy, to a career at 3M. After retirement, he started to dabble in building computers, and he always seemed to be able to repair the broken electronic stuff around the house. He showed me how *NOT* to burn myself with a soldering iron, and how to use a meter.
Over the years, I've taken to upgrading my guitar electronics, as well as the occasional home electronics repair - but I haven't built anything from scratch since I built a Heathkit tone generator from a kit in High School.
So, since I need some sort of hobby to keep me occupied, I'm going to try this. Nothing like jumping into the deep end....
