Is This What I Sound Like?

Recently my sister read one of my posts about electronics. That fact alone was a little surprising, since she has never shown any interest in electronics so far as I can remember. Later, she sent me this note, which was her translation of what I wrote, as she understood it.

I have been thinking a lot lately about flux mechasmorgamisms lately; you see, my booklet on Mechasmorgamisms A to Z says that you can regulate a voltage of 60 ampz if you tune that into a reversing spiffenhopper. Here's the math on that:

X= v _a/5

But you could always calculate that out with a v=XOXOXO and just add a couple hugs. (Not kisses)

Blah blah blah x equals blah blah

So anyways, my original thingyhopper will only take 70 electric jolties so I dug around under my underwear pile and found an old radio chipydoodle that will take 900 mila jolties! Or maybe it's ear wavies.... anyways, I hooked it up and sat around scratching my head for a couple days cause there was all this scratchy scratchy sound making me feel like scratching.

Eventually I thought of sticking a middly-partsy part on it and that seemed to solve the issue, except the whole thing jiggles on it's bread board so I plan to move it to a notbreadbooordismorg soon. Of course, I don't have a lot of experience with those so I'll have to order a notbreadbooordismorg book from the library (interlibrary loan, of course). That's all for today.

I'm definitely going to have to make my own Reversing Spiffenhopper, once I figure out what it does!
