Some pictures from over the weekend

I got a couple of goodies in the mail on Saturday, first another breadboard (they are always handy but I probably overpaid at $7.37 delivered with tax):

It wasn't new though, one of the rubber feet is missing:

I will add a ground plane like I did here with the new one I bought from the same Ebay seller:

That seller also had this:

An actual new-in-box Oak Hills Research wattmeter meter (only) - not bad for $7.37 delivered with tax.  I didn't ask where it came from but the docs for the wattmeter are on the internet so it shouldn't be too hard to brew up a home made copy.  The enclosure will be a little more challenging though.

Finally, I saw this when I went out for the mail (and got the above Ebay items) on Saturday:

Saturday wasn't that great  a day

The snow recedes and reveals the secrets of what perished during the hard winter !  At least it was only a road sign, not my mailbox :)
