An Old Hobby

After a pretty good day at work, I came home and did some work that I haven't done in a while.  Tearing apart electronic equipment!! Years back, I worked at Orion as a electronic technician repairing TV's, VCR's, and Camcorders.  I try and mess around with electronics every chance I get.  Tonight I decided to look at a camcorder that the Dorn's may have dropped? or the screen quit working.  I started taking apart piece at a time and tried to keep screws straight.

About the time I got it all apart, the Dorn's show up so I tried to get Maddox to put it back together for me.  He looked at it like I was crazy for taking it apart.(I don't think Larry and Deann was going to jump in and put it back together either).  I looked all over to find the problem with it but had no luck.  I did get it back together with no problem.

At times I do miss working at Orion and the friends that I made there.  All my troubleshooting skills came from that place and it always had some challenges.  Way back when I was working there I thought that would be "work" until I retired; little did I know at the time that building new electronic equipment would get cheaper than repairing old.  A least this allowed me to further my education and now get to repair bigger and more sophisticated equipment.  Life has a funny way of molding a person to become better than they were before.  I will always be caught working on electronics.  It's an old hobby.  Keep to the Beat!
