Got one of my "new" tube testers working, mainly by cleaning out the meter
movement. Finally a real mutual-conductance tester to replace my old
Heathkit!

IHB the urgent support-the-team-in-trouble work is done,
and even though they were still at work at 3:30 AM they
appear to have things in hand.
Ah, back to my own project!

I am happy because the shortest day of the year wasn't as short as it
used to be. Is it my imagination, or is it not as dark at 5:00 pm as
it used to be,say, a couple of years ago?

Weren't you living in Cleveland a couple of years ago? Things are
just darker there, on average.

Re 533> I was in Cleveland last year. The year before that India, and
the year before that I was in Columbus. I remember it being pitch dark
at about 4:30 pm, and it's just grey at 5:00 pm these days.

The more north you are, the earlier it gets dark. But I live north of
Cleveland and I have never noticed it being dark as early as 4:30 here
before. I know it is pretty dark by 5:30 when I get off of work and
still just a little light (but mostly dark) at 5p.

in Pittsburgh it is usually pretty dark by 530 or 6 these days. . . (or it
was when I was there up to a week and a half ago)

I'm just glad I'm living in the southern part of Alaska -- I don't
think I could take the dark in Barrow this time of year. After many
years in Michigan and a few in the Seattle area I didn't think I was
particularly affected by loss of sunlight but the short days this winter
have been quite a drag. On the bright side (so to speak) the long days
in summer are very, very nice..
