My vacuum cleaner broke recently. The switch is a plastic rod that when slid, pushes the actual electrical switch... I thought it was the mechanical sliding rod broke, since it worked intermittently... Nope it turned out to be the switch. Sears said it was about 3.50 for a new one, but why put the same switch back in to go bad in about a year... Got a nice cheap one from RadioShack, and that seemed to work, after some dremelling of where the mechanical rod was, and the switch works now... Yay!!!

Pass my MFE exam in November 2007, but not such good news in May 2008 with exam C... Revenge is mine in November 2008 though :)

My road racing bike is slowly getting transformed into a commuter bike... I'm trying the riding to the train station and then to work, and the other way back home... Needing to carry things, having safety lights... yea its not light anymore...
