Good evening. 80 here with humidity almost that high. There's a 40% chance of showers and thunderstorms tonight and tomorrow.
Aside from my other activities today I had to repair a disk drive. It was going fine then it went pop and some smoke came out of it. A quick inspection revealed a capacitor that had some grayish black goo leaking out of it. No problem to replace. Clip the leads at each end and straighten then so they're vertical. Get a junk analog board from the closet, cut it's leads at the board and straighten them so they're horizontal, lay it in place and solder the horizontal leads to the vertical leads and the repair was made. I put the drive back together, tested it with favorable results and put it back in service.
Everything else worthy of note was reported earlier.
Time for me to call it a night. See y'all tomorrow.
