At last, we have a cure for all!
Ailments large and ailments small,
Good health is not beyond my reach,
If I inject myself with bleach.
Radiant, I’ll prance along,
Every trace of limescale gone,
With disinfectant as my friend,
Like him,
I’m clean around the bend.
Bought a couple breadboard power supplies from Canaduino awhile back. Noticed one on a friends bench and after examining it decided I needed one too. Better than the ones with linear chips. If this fails it just stops working does not send whatever source voltage was to your project. Took awhile to get. They used a shipper called Sendle to ship it from Canada to the U.S.
Anyway I looked around and ordered one of these to to send to the niece.

This Thursday the moving truck arrives and the following Tuesday we move into our new home. Therefore, it's time for a new alias, and this poll offers some possible alternatives. Please boost for maximum meaningless results.
Some background:
- we are moving to the Barrie area.
- officially, within the Town of Innisfil
- easy walking distance to Belle Aire Beach
- within Innisfil, we are in the community of Belle Ewart
Disclaimer - I am not legally bound by the results of this survey.
I really would have preferred that we saw "taco trucks on every corner" as a promise, not a threat.
