I could help you with your case issue, provided a decent payment or psos screen for trade.

I'm building a vacuum forming table this weekend, so expect some great things.

That's great SS.

Although, it'll be awhile until I start looking for case stuff...

Right now, I'm trying to get all the parts, and I'm not doing very well financially...

I'm 15, and trust me, it wasn't easy getting the job I have now, and even still, I don't earn much over minimum wage...

I'm expecting as much as 3 weeks before I can even afford the batteries

It'll be awhile before the case comes into question, but I will DEFIANTLY consider you, SS, when the time comes. It's mostly a matter of price when it comes to the case thing...

A later day...

Stupid Radioshack!!!

I went on over to my local Radioshack about a week ago.
Well, I wanted to buy a desoldering iron, but they had none in stock and didin't expect them for a bit.
So I ordered one for in-store pickup.
Well it came in yesterday...
I picked up this big brown box and came home.
Well, I opened it up, and inside... 50+ rolls of desoldering braid!!!
WHAT THE HECK!?!?!?

So I went back to the store, they got mad, and after a good 20 minutes of complaining to the manager, I got a refund...

So I don't have a desoldering iron yet and can't really start any of the good work on my portable...

And they still don't expect a desoldering iron for a few more weeks!

(I've had a soldering iron for like ever, but I've never done a "mod" until this point, which is why I don't have a desoldering iron...)

That stinks, man. I wonder about those Rat Shack people sometimes... There are some odd ones around here...

Ah yes...

I've had wonderfully helpful people (with brains too) at radioshack give me a hand in whatever. Heck I first learned to solder in a radioshack...

But every once in awhile you'll get the Subway treatment, or just an idiot...

By the way, the Subway treatment is why I don't eat at Subway anymore.
Because every Subway in my town has two teenage girls behind the counter and all they do is yack about pointless crap... If I have to wait 20 min. to ask for a sandwich and they still get it wrong, well heck I'm just

ed off ya know?

Meh we have Teenagers working at our Subway, but they dont talk about pointless crap after you order, they just ask ya what ya want on it, and thats it, but its kinda weird, the Whole Street has Fast food places all the way down (Very close to Residentle area) and I see tons of people working at these Fast food places that I've seen go to my school, I hardly ever see a Non-teenager working in the resteraunts on this road, and whats with all the Teenage girls working at Dairy Queen?!? Hmm mabye it has to do with the name, no guy probably wants to work at a place with anything Feminem in the name, Unless its a Stripclub (For men)

I live in California, so you're lucky if the guys behind the counter speak English...

jleemero · Post by **jleemero** » Mon Feb 26, 2007 9:00 pm

I live out in New Mexico.

I got a pocket translator because I like Blakes Lottaburger...
No joke...

And I go to California during the spring (coming up soon??!) and I agree with johnbjuice...

Update(ish)
Check the first post, as I'll update that A LOT.

It's about batteries... again... well still...

joevennix · Post by **joevennix** » Sat Mar 03, 2007 9:38 pm

If you're going to buy batteries like that, be careful not to short anything... could (will) lead to disaster (think fire). 10000mAh is a bit overkill, but hey if you need to play it for 5-6 hours at a time (LED modded), that's the way to go.

Ya...
I'm a traveler, unfortunately.

I'll be on a bus for 3 hours, so I can get on a plane for 1 hour, so I can drive around L.A. for 2 hours, so I can do all that again in reverse...

I need a lot of battery life... A LOT.

Like

a lot...

Ya...

Wow...
I have got to be like, the luckiest dude to ever portablize an N64.

I was gone for 4 days, and in that time period, my dog got a hold of my N64 MOBO and chewed the crap out of the thing.

AND IT STILL WORKS!!!! What the heck?!?!
