Drywall :(

I've been doing a bit of drywall the past couple of days.

Checking out the 2430A Tektronix oscilloscope and 2402A Tekmate

Possibly the most intriguing scope of the recent batch is the 2430A.

Checking out the 468 Tektronix Oscilloscope

I powered up the 468 scope today as well.

Checking out the 2245A Tektronix Oscilloscope and accessories

I had a chance to power up the new (to me) 2245A oscilloscope today and take a few pictures.  Of the bunch I just bought, this is probably the least exciting one.  It's the base model of the series of 2245, 2246 and 2247.  On the other hand, it's a very clean scope, both electrically and mechanically.  So while it doesn't have a lot of extended functions, it has that going for it!

Tektronix - yes!

I was a baaaaaad boy today.

Plow truck repairs

I have an old 1995 Ford F-250 truck.  It came with the 7.3 liter Powerstroke diesel engine - the first year Ford sold trucks with a direct-injection diesel.  For nearly two decades, it was my primary vehicle.

Minor home improvement stuff

I've had a couple of minor projects in mind recently, but there was always something else more pressing. 

February 2019 - a rough month for snow

February was a difficult month.  We received 56 inches of snow.  I think the normal total snowfall all winter is only 70 inches. 

Tektronix 2247A Refurbishment

I had a few days off recently, and decided to attempt to get the 2247A Oscilloscope cleaned up and working well.
