I never took up smoking. As I understand it, it's in high school that most people become smokers, mainly to look cool. But I knew that I was way too much a nerd for cigarettes to make me look cool, so I didn't try. Besides, I had heard that it was bad for you anyway.

I tried it and couldn't get anything out of it. I don't know if I was doing it right or not.
I still like my beer, but I have to cut down on that.

local surplus store had the 3.9 so all ready to go, will solder up tonight, maybe get it in for a test run. I really need to get my test jig setup in the shop/office.

We should just call this the cigarette thread.

When I started working on electronics in nightclubs they were all smoke filled hot boxes. Most of the failures and problems were due to smoke dust buildup in anything with a fan. From amps to tv to the condensing units in the beer coolers. The smoke turns into a heavy dust that plugs up the air flow and causes overheating. Its also attracted to anything with a high voltage potential.

One of the many tests tvs undergo is exposure to hundreds of cigarettes in a sealed box, just like the shake tests and thermal testing.

The organic plan tars are a great preservative for a chassis. You never really see corrosion or rust on a heavy smoker set.

Personally I never got past that first taboo cigarette as a teenager, the one you feel all big, like you are getting away with some forbidden pleasure. Ohh we did occasionally smoke cloves at lunch in high school, but they taste good and get you wasted.
