One fine day when replacing a FET board on a Classic 250 (non warranty claim I might add) which had been abused by a water turbine and installed by a ***** who had also fried a Outback FM80 as well !
I came across the following
Chapter 15. ?
One fine day Irving said to Margaret
"we,re reunitied, and it feels so good and
Its a marvelous night for a moondance".
Its been such a long time Maggie May dance
with me, I want to be your partner" said
Irving, She replied "Irving you,re the one
that I want ,but even though time is on my
side, it,s late, we gotta get on home because
the night has a thousand eyes". "EEEK" she
shrieked, "It,s too late baby now, here comes
the sun. We,re so sorry, Uncle Albert "

EEEK was the only thing I didnt get a lyric for I did get a hit on Harry Potter though :-\
Twenty years ago I was sitting at my desk at Trace Engineering. It was late at night and I was designing the Triac board for the upcoming DR inverter. Like I said, it was late and I must have been in a very weird mood. I had a lot of room left on the circuit board after laying out all the traces and parts. For some reason I was thinking about the girls downstairs who stuffed all the boards. I decided to give them a challenge, so I came up with a bunch of phrases from 1950's and 60's songs and put them together in a story. The top side of the board had Chapter 1 and the back side had chapter 2. I made the story around Margaret (my wife's middle name) and Irving. They were trolls that lived under a bridge. I knew this would cause the girls trouble since the story was actually made up of phrases of songs that were popular before most of them were born. The goal was for them to figure out the songs. I continued on additional boards until there were 13 chapters. We had great fun with all of this. I did not do any stories at OutBack as the electrical engineers did not like them. (Poo Butts). Doug has reserected the chapters although he is concentrating more on songs than a story. It is all good fun, so look for additional chapters on lots of different MidNite products.
Chapter 14 ?............. wot no prize for Charity ?
Q. If not personal ........Irving ?
Regardless Ill send $100 to a Charity of your choice , I would have sent it to the charity you were supporting a while ago but I cant find it on your site anymore ?

It looks like it made it without any issues. Seems like a long ride in a golf cart though :o
Ryan many thanks but the Go Carting link whilst still working have stopped taking donations, on the 5th June so I did what the site said and made my donation direct with the Wounded Warrior Project.
