[sdiy] Dang good weekend...

[James Patchell]

No matter how I try, there is always something I forget about...although, 
it seems my projects always put a major stress on my inventory of 
parts.  People who see my collection of parts are amazed at the 
quantities...but, I always run out of something.  This weekend, I ran out 
of crimp pins, 100K sips, and 20K pots.  And it is not like I didn't 
try...I made up a list of the parts and quantity I needed, but it seems 
that those items (and others) never made it to the list....so another order 
went off to Mouser last night.

Also, I just placed an order with LSDiodes last night...so, I guess I will 
find out if they are for real or not...
